JUST PUSH"
NOT A TUG,
DAT TIE NOW
(sy United Press csn,exram.)

LONDON. April 27-The Franco
British offensive and tho German de-
Tense from north OF the Arras TO the
Champagne today had developed into a
gigantic push OF war-not tug of war.
The only major infantry operations
on the British front were of huge bodies
Artillery was still being used TO some
extent but actual movements OF the
allied forces forwsrd was almost al
ways by use of the bayonet
In contrast to his previous strategical
methods in concentrating the fury of
his attack on spots in the German line.
dispatches indicated that Field Marshall
Haig was keeping his whole freslt push
ing in a great concerted movement
Meanwhile Hindenburg was rushing
huge bodies of men forward The
enemies losses have been great. due
mainly to the German closed-rank
formation.
II is the pressure toward Douai
which the Germans apparently fear
most. according to dispatches from the
front. II was east of Gavrelle that the
battle reached its greatest fury today.
The cloudy weather OF the past TWEEN
tyfour hours greatly disappointed Brit
ish airmen. With complete supremacy
of the air established they had hoped 10
aid their record of at least one hundred
machines brought down in the big push
but weather was against them.
Information from the French front
indicated almost ceaseless counter-at-
tacks by the Germans.
