People Not to Expect Too Much of
Offensive in West. .
, Ottawa, Ont., April 4. The Ger
man pros is warning its rsaders .
not to expect too much of the of
fensive in the west, says a Reu
ter's dispatch today from London.
The Cologne Gazette says extraor
dinary rumors are prevalent in
Germany regarding the extent of '
the German "victory" and are in
spired' by the enemy who is ex
aggerating the Teutonic suc
cesses for the purpose of depress
ing the masses through disap
pointment. The war correspondent
of the Frankfurter Zeitung says
that hitherto it has been impos
sible exactly to estimate the Ger-.
nan losses, but it is unnecessary
to jump to the conclusion that
they are enormous because the
victory was difficult. He states
that the enemy's resistance is
hardening and has been favored,
by rain and stormy weather that
have greatly hampered the of
fensive operation.

The Frankfurter Zeitung: attacks
