Berlin Reports Offensive
Along One Hundred
Mile Front
GERMANS CLAIM TO BE
RFLICTING GREAT LOSSES
French Rush German Trench
On War Front Killing
All Defenders
BY Carl W. Ac,serman.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent.)
Berlin, Mar. 2S.-Russian troops to-
day are renewing their attacks against
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg' sol
diers on a 100 mile front. Hurting
themselves again and again at the bar
bed wire entanglements of the Ger
mans, the Slavs are being slaughtered
in great numbers. They have not suf-
fered heavier losses since the memor-
able retreat from Dunajee year ago
But they must keep ON attacking or
admit defeat and retreat.
The spring thaw will soon set in. Then
Russian lowlands will be flooded, and
the ear 5 commanders must withdraw
their entire line.
The Germans will suffer from floods
also, but they sill not be compelled to
withdraw IS much as tne Russians.
Therefore the Slays are wasting much
ammunition in desperate efforts to
seize to seize higher positions before
spring freshets turn their trenches in
to muddy bitches and make their camps
into vast swamp.
Despite the fury Of repeated Russian
charges, German officers are confident
their line win be held intact. One
German Officer wrote relatives here
that Russian n'agksmanslip was very
poor.
So strong are the Teuton defenses
that this officer wrote his battalion lost
only two killed and seventeen wounded
when the Slays came on behind a cur
tain of terrific explosions.
Formerly one Russian officer was
found among every 300 privates cap
tured, on the average. Now, however,
the ratio is one officer to every 60
rankers.

Madero foothills with Americans close
" trailing him. Mexicans who form
erly hailed Villa as an idol are now aid
ing his pursuers. An aviator from the

quarters is scouting with the American

port the cavalry vanguard should a

The problem of getting supplies to
