...expected to try chiefly open spread formations coupled with a long aerial attack. Just how much they have perfected their offensive in the past two weeks is entirely a matter of conjecture, but it is doubtful if they will show much more power and finish than in the Maine defeat two weeks ago. With the University line outweighing them more than ten pounds to the man, and surpassing them even more in experience, they are wisely expected to discard a line-plunging attack...

The Nationalist party is numerous and powerfully organized, especially in Bavaria, while the Communist party, although perhaps not so well organized, is even more wide spread...
