GREAT TBATTLENEAR
ON ONHINDENBURGLINE
Germans Turn on Pursuers, Of.
fering Stiff Resistance to
Allies.

LONDON, March 23.-All indica-
tions are that the Germans have
now retreated in France as far as
they intend to, for the time, at least
Only inability to resist French and
British attack can force them back
further at this time, it is believed.
The total French territory liber-
ated from the Germans up to March
21 is s53 square miles, in the depart
ments of Pas-de-Calais, Disc, Aisne,
and Somme. 1t includes 366 towns
and villages, and in peace time was
the home of 1876 persons. The
Germans still hold 1925 square miles
of France.
The French are attacking the main
German line in the hope of upsetting
the German plans. Hard fighting has
developed about St Quentin and La
Fere, in which thus far the advantage
has been with General Nivelle's army.
Before the British the German re-
sistance has stiffened everywhere,
from Arras to st. Quentin. Heavy
snowstorms hampered the British ad-
vance, although the British right
wing, on the south, is now in full
touch with the French left, opposite
st. Quentin.
Seeking Pitched Battle.
A great battle may be fought with
in the next few days on the st. Quen-
tin-La Fere line. The cavalry &C
tions are regarded in Berlin as an
indication that great events are TAX
ing place and that a real battle is in
N1h
trench warfare being over. for the
time on this part of the front. Sim
iIiar hints that the Germans sought
a pitched battle in open fields have
already come from Berlin
II this battle is already beginning
the initial advantage seems to be
with the French. In offense as well
as repulsing German counter attacks
which have now begun and are an
other Indication that the Germans
have come to a halt the French show
ed themselves the better troops in
the open.
One the offensive the French
crossed the River Ailette at several
points between the Disc and the
Aisne, to the southwest of La Fere.
The Germans had previously held the
line of the Ailette, interposing the
river between themselves and the
French. They are now falling back
to the st. Gobain forest. This Is the
southern sector of the new front,
northeast of Soissons.
French Hold Canal.
In the region southwest OF st.
Quentin, the Germans tried hard to
drive the French back across the
Crozat Canal, which General Nivelle's
troops crossed yesterday. These at
tempts were violent, and repeated, the
French war office reports tonight, but
were thrown back by machine gun
fire.
At the very southernmost point of
the retirement, northeast Of Scissors,
the Germans made three attacks on
the French line. The French bahfage
fire, however, stopped the attacks, and
French guns south of the Aisne fired
across the river, enfilading the Ger
man ranks, causing heavy losses.
Berlin reports that French troops
were repulsed after crossing this
canal.

naval station No. 32 at Providence just
inside the cape. 1t read:
Officially Reported
AT 9.15 Il. III. in direction northeast
by north, Is guns heard in quick sue
cession. After an interval of l5 min
utes, fifteen more guns were heard"
Receipt of this message was fol-
lowed quickly by Il report from station
No. 3S at Race Point directly on the
top of the cape and the most north
erly point. 1t read
"At $40 heavy firing of guns in
quick succession heard due north. Ser
eral more guns heard 1920" (There
was some doubt whether the latter
figures were meant to indicate the
hour).
On the heels of these messages came
a third from Coast Guard Station No.
"a, at Peaked Hill bar, located on the
outside of the cape, near the northern
end and not far from Highland light.
The message said:
succession northeast by north. Heard
plainly"
The Navy Yard had no information
except that received from the Coast
Guard stations. Newspaper correspon-
dents on the cape said reports of gun
fire We're current, but all of these were
traced to messages received at the
Navy Yard. No citizen at Highland
light or other points nearbyl could be
found who heard gunfire. However,
the reports were taken very seriously
at the Navy Yard, where the feeling
was that there had been a battle off
the coast.
