Fifty Miles From Paris.
That the allied lines have been
driven back nearly TO csmpieene
In the department Of Disc, which
Is less than fifty miles from Paris,
was admitted to-day. II was said
that the fighting all along the line
In this vicinity was OF the fierces.
character. The Germans, n was
said. were still trying 20 break
through between the British and
the French forces.
At daylight the Germans made
a concerted assault on the
French line between Amiens and
! vervlnes. and the fighting there
ls said TO be desperate. The
Germans are utilizing to the ut
most their rapid fire artillery,
which 10 mounted on automobiles.
The French artillery ls declared
likewise to be doing enormous
execution IN the lines OF the
enemy.
The Germans continue their
nassed tactics and are declared
10 be sacrificing thousands Of
men In their attempts 20 break
through the lines.
All the military hospitals south
Of Paris are filled with wounded
brought from the north. Among
them are many British. The
wounded praise the bravery Of the
German infantry In the highest
terms, but state they are being
deliberately sacrificed by their
officers, who keep them In action
against artillery without any at
tempt TO silence the guns or to
take cover. The Germans move
straight ahead In massed forma-
tion until they are almost annIhi-
lated.
u Is stated that the number Of
prisoners taken by the French
runs we'll into the thousands.
Many scouting parties OF Uhlans
have been trapped and cut on.
Many OF the German officers
taken prisoners admit that they
have been completely surprised
by the stubborn defense Of the
allies. They had hoped to COM
pletely oVer~heIm the French
defense by a general attack In
force, but have found this i'm
possible. These prisoners con-
firm the reports OF terrible Ger
man losses.

At the eastern station the refugees

few wounded among them. An In

spoke mysteriously OF the terrible
effects OF certain French projectiies.
The arrival Of 40 wounded English

was made the occasion OF great
manifestation Of sympathy. All wore
flowers presented by the Red Cross
