French and British military critics
are returning to the belief that the so,
called Hindenburg line is not intended
for permanent defence, but Is only a
hating place in far wider retreat
which will not stop short of the Bel

1t is at the point Of this triangle,

The Otaki, according TO the sailors
scored seven hits on the Moewe, setting
the raider or fire. The blaze was not
extinguished for three days. Six Of the
Moewe's crew and two captive Hindus
were killed. while the Otaki lost her

that if the Mocwe were sunk they
would go down with her. One shell

British Rout

Near Jerusalem
Capture Entire Staff of Di-

London, March 29.-Driving forward
on the Mediterranean coast of Pales-
tine, through lands rich in Biblical his
tory. the British left wing has routed
Turkish army of 10000 men and capt
ured the whole divisional staff of tho
SD Ottoman Division, including the
general commanding and 900 men Of
the line.
The British advance brings them to
within five miles Of GAIA, the city gates
of which Samson is credited with carry
ing on his shoulders to Hebron, where
the British right wing has been in
trenched since the victory there, three
weeks ago.
The complete success reported to-day
carries the British line straight across
Palestine from the Dead Sea to the
Mediterranean, and enables the two
wings Of the army from Egypt to move
simultaneously on Jerusalem, to the
north Of Hebron, or FL Chalil, and on
Jaifa, the port of Jerusalem, directly
north of GAIA
The stroke at GAIA, which town the
British are unofficially reported to have
entered already, is in reality a blow at
Jerusalem. On March 7 the British
captured FL Chalil, which is within
forty miles Of Jerusalem and about
thirty-tive miles inland, near the Dead
Sea. Evidently they were content to
rest here while the left wing prosecuted
a methodical advance along the Medi-
terranean coast, laying tracks for rail.

Moreover, this army can be,suppled

Deepen the Wedge Press

Hindenburg Line
French Recapture
Trenches at Verdun
Raids in Region North of
Arras Suggest Com
ing Offensive

London. March 29.-Along the French
sector of the Hindenburg line the fight
ing to-day constituted practically a war
of positions, but in the British sector
il continues war Of movement. Brit
isb cavalry has taken several more
places - Neville Bourjonval, directly
south of Bertincourt, and Villeveque,
Etreillers and Vaux, n triangular cluS-
ter of villages facing st. Quentin on
the west.
The British are driving forward at
the latter point wedge the apex oil
which is approximately five miles from
ST Quentin. the centre pillar OF the
new German line, and four miles south
Of which Nivele is concentrating his
main forces.
The fact that these villages arc fall
ing before the British cavalry clearly
indicates that Haig's troops have not
vet reached the front on which the
Germans have definitely determined 10
dispute passage. In fact, they are stlll
about ten miles from Cambria. Never
theless, Hindenburg's forces are ofer-
ing energetic resistance, as proved by
the number of machine guns captured
by the British. Frequently the British
horsemen have charged the enemy :
raachine gun emplacements and either
killed or made prisoner the gunners.
Attack Near Lens Looked for
The German official report to-day
speaks of lively artillery exchanges
from Arras to Lens. which suggests the
possibility of an attack in that sector.
There the Germans mold strong posi-
ton along the V.my ridge, which over
looks the bloody plains of Souchez and
Neuville-St. Vast. This group Of hills,
the last 10 the northwest before the
plains of FLANDERS. was the scene OF
bitter fighting in 1914 and 1915, when
the French took the ridge, but were un-
able to hold II. There were several
British raids in this sector to-day, IN
which German dugouts were destroyed
and casualties inflicted.
The French night statement reports
violent artillery duels in the Marginal
sector. around Maisons de Champagne
near Hill 304, at Nerdun, and in Lor-
