WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN THE FIELD, Feb. 25—German war party propagandists have bungled the job and overcooked the pudding. A careful study of today's situation on the west front reveals the most stu pendous drive the Prussians have ever attempted and for the biggest stakes is a total failure. Despite utilization of every method to create a. state of terror among troops and civilians to increase the tension and prolong the nerve strain before the offensive their methods have resulted in a fiasco. Troops and civilians aie chuckling· over the "hob goblin." The British staff expects the Germans will put up a stifï fight, but receive a drubbing. Indications are that the German troops themselves are gradually ac quiring a cold sweat. Some prison ers admit they do not believe the Prussian plans will succeed although they make mincemeat of their own troops. Confirming reports of food conditions in Germany prisoners say that not only civilians and non-com batants but line troops not actually slated for the push are nor on re i duced rations.
