front from Fayet and Epehey.
The Germans, quickly rallytng from the
initial blow on the Rheims-Soissons front,
struck back savagely, and. according to
the Berlin report. inflicted very heavy
losses upon the French. They took more
than 100 prisoners, It Is asserted.
All through the Official bulletin runs an
undertone volcing the conviction that
''the worst isye to come" Fresh enemy
attacks are expected. It says. Such fresh
attacks on still another front are re-
ported Gen. Nivelle Is striking violently

gain Is looked for. These new blows
were also foreshadowed by the German
statement

Lens fall becomes more certain with
every succeeding British gain. Daming

backed up the water into the mining
town, diverttng foods into the mining
galleries Systematic destruction OF the
whole rich mineral district continues. Not
until It Is perfected Is Hindenburg ex-
pected to give way before the Canadians.
Jubilation reigns supreme in Paris and
London over the steady headway made
since the big spring push began a week

lie that the hardest work Is still ahead.

the German people that there Is no
chance for a break through" said In its
Official statement today:
Tho fighting no longer Is against q

This was realized by the French In their
drive yesterday. when they found the
Teutons' first position consisting of 1ve

The stock on hand in many stores is
