ALLIED SEA OFFENSIVE EXPECTED NEXT YEAR PERSHING TO PLAY HOST AT REAL THANKSGIVING Turkey and All Trimrnings to Bo Pro vided for Sammees by Command ing General AVAS1HNOTON. Oct 2. There's a real American Thanksgiving dinner turkey, cr.inberry sauce, pumpkin plo and all on Its way to Uncle Sam's boya at the front In France. When that day dawns over there behind tho battle front, America's thousands with the Stars nnd Stripes will clamber out of their bomb pits and come trotting In from their practice trenches to the roal feast. It Is all thanks to the big-hearted thought fulness of that square-Jawed fighting man, Major General John J. Pershing. Characteristically, ho said nothing about It. Hven tho men nt tho front don't know It yet. Hut a whisper of something of the sort camo via cable yes'erday, and todaj the War Department confirmed It. "General Perilling cublctt for permission to give the boys a real Thanksgiving din ner from home, with all the trimmings," the department hald.

The Allies, with America's aid, are likely next year to take the offensive on tho seas. This deduction is drawn In expert quar ters here today as the result of recent Allied military operations With England strik ing at the rail arteries leading to Geimany's Oncnd and Zeebrugge bases, such an of fensive. It Is felt, could be u-ied in telling fashion later. ', Much vlll depend, howover, upon the succcti England meets In her Menln road operations While she has warded oft counter-attacks so far, It ls-a question In many military minds whether sho will bo able to accomplish before winter the cut ting of tho rail arteries. Hven If she doe cut these lines Germany still can feed the ncits from which her submarines emanate But If Kngland can accomplish a fierce blow nt the communications lines, stie hai dono much toward crippling the effective ness of Germany s U-boat gume.
