Washington, April 2+.-War experts
in Washington are beginning to look
for an Entente drive north from Salon

cutting of the Observation-Disclosures

threatening Vienna.

confidence. il was learned here. Inc

through the establishment OF an over

The possibility Of abandoning the
Salonica campaign, which has been con-

British Troops Push Ahead
In Fiercest Fighting Of the War

mics appcars 10 increase in ac-
cordance with the ncarncss Of the
British approach to the Hindenburg
positions. This is particularly true
along tho present front, where the
threat is against the Drocourt-Queant
switch line. which is depended upon by
the Germans as the connecting link pc
tween their lines north Of St. Quentin
and south Of Lille.
The ground gained by the British
Yesterday was won in the face Of some
Of the most desperate fighting on the
part Of the Germans since the war be
gan. Trench warfare for the time be-
ing is forgotten. The Germans were
urged by their officers 10 make every
sacrifice. During attack and counter
attack the cries Of the officers to ther
men could be heard above the grinding
tumult Of battle.
This is the last and deciding push.
for we soon shall be able to hold out
no longer" reads the diary Of a Ger
man officer who was captured yester-
dav. T. is evidently in this spirit that
the present fighting is going on.
The struggles Of the opposing troops
about Monchy may be seen plainly
from the neighboring hilltops The
patches Of wood beyond Monchy have
served as shelter for the Germans ~
the last ten days, and it was behind
these late yesterday that the German
commanders rallied their forces. WIN
reserves brought up quickly they
formed counter attacks against the
newly advanced British positions.
As they emerged in great solid ranks
from the woods the British artillery
was quick 10 spot them, and shells be-
gan TO break in their midst. This m
terrupted their steady forward tramp.
The lines wavered, and some men were
retreating, when the impulse from be-
hind pushed them forward. They then
broke into run toward ths British
lines. The machinegun barrage closed
upon them and they fell by scores.
British rifles spoke for time, and
then, as the German waves rolled on,
hand-to-hand fighting ensued. The
counter attack lasted half an hour be-
fore it was driven or. Within an hour
new one was formed, and so the day
wore on.
