The Daily Telegraph's Rotterdam correspondent states that the AustroGermans are being regrouped and. fresh artillery is massing for the resumption of the battle at at least three points. These are Flanders, the Amiens sa&nt and the Italian front.

There aire indications of at least two attacks simultaneously. Although few Germans are in Italy Ludendorff lis master of the Austrian armies and imposes his will npon the war-siek politicians xegJU'dllng the part the' Austrian 0 must play.

The German staff's energies are now j derated to Jblie problem of developing greater speed in following up any initial success. The generals responsible for the St. Quentin attack attribute.fthe final failure to incomplete cooperation between the artillery and the infantry. 1 Contrary to expectation the further the infantry advances the-more trsential artillery co-operation became as the retreating force® were always drawing nearer their own fixed batfceriets. The Germans are seeking fresh devices, including the application of the *3ink principle to shifting batteries. Freehi troops are being subjected to extraordinarily intensive training with special attention to open order work. All the soldiers are using fire bombs. There are some casualties, but they are justified by the men becoming accustomed to handling these missiles.
