Of the way.

British Drive Puts
Germany Back a Year
By VIM. PHILIP SIMMS
United Press Staff Correspondent

With the British Afeld, May l.
The British and German forces
alike took breathing spell'
today, both being worn out.
Cut to pieces by their retreat
ing and reckless counter attacks
Of the past few days the German
infantry quieted down.
The British for their part set
tied down to artillery, their guns
roaring in never ending chorus.
German cannon thundered in
derous chorus,
uadfnappe was sheffsd ar day
Monday. Arlieu likewise was d
German projectiles.
The Germans are palpably ner-
vous fearing British attack
south Of Oppy, and for this rea'
son they continued to spray Oppy
and Cavrelle line with shells.
With the British Armies Afeld,
April 3O.-The Scarpe is fast be-
coming valley Of death for the
! Prussians.
The slaughtered enemy lies
thick among the dandelions on
the valleys yellowing slopes.
In terms Of losses the Scarpc
is a years defeat for the Ger
mans.
With that part Of Ziegfried
line known as the "Wotan front =
already melting away at the nor
thern end, and the Dricourt to
Quent system Of German defen-
ces threatened, Hindenburg is
throwing division after division
into the struggle, with orders to
hold at all costs.
As the British day by day bite
forward-a bit here and bit
there-the Germans counter at
tack repeatedly. Always they
come in close masses where Brit
ish. guns reap a horrible harvest
in the open country.
Sunday / watched the heavy
fighting about Oppy and south
to Gavrelle. There the Germans
attempted to retake trenches
which the British won early Sun
day morning.
After three years Of warfare
between forces hidden from each
other behind trenches, the sight
Of combatants maneuveriilg in Il. !,
open is most spectacular. On
Sunday I could clearly see stret
cher bearers on both sides carry
ing back the wounded-under
shell fire.
Beyond the OppyGavrelle lines
over the smoking battlefield Do
uai stood out in sunlight. The
city hall, with its magnificent
crenelated belfry and the huge
tower Of st. Pierre cathedral glis-
tened In the light, dominating
the city Like WoolWorth and the.
