Berlin, April 1s.-"on the Aisne.. !.
says an official statement issued
Monday. "a great French attempt to
break through. with far distant OBJ
ject, has commenced, after ten days
mass fire. A bitter fight is proceed
ing on 40-kilometer front around our
foremost positions"
British Headquarters In France
With the hot flames of war raging
along the entire weStern front British
and French alike, it can be stated
that each detail Of the offensive has
been worked out at prolonged confer.
ences between General Nivelle and
Field Marshal Haig and the war coun-
ellis Of France and England. The part
to be played, by each belligerent has
been definitely agreed upon, and .
schedule has been arranged as for one
great cohesive force. Various tasks
have been precisely allotted along the
wide-reaching battle-lines, and the re-
suits thus far attained justify the con.
clusion that the supreme military test
of the war is near at hand.
1t was planned that the British
should strike from Arras while the
French guns were still roaring their
preparation for infantry hostilities
along a wide front farther to the
south.
The successes gained in the first
stages OF the British advance have
given the French great confidence In
the Inauguration Of their own enter
prises.
The whole struggle in the western
theater promises to be q titanic one.
The allies are prepared as never be-
fore both in material and personnel.
and are cooperating with smooth
ness which comes from q complete
understanding and thorough appreci-
alton Of the work in hand.
The Germans have more divisions
on the western front than would have
been thought possible year ago, and,
however much OF an "easterner" Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg may have
been in the past, he will have to de-
vote his entire time and attention to
western events for some weeks to
come.
Already half score Of Germany's
best divisions have been smashed to
pieces by the British onslaught and
their own unsuccessful counter attacks.
The Bavarian divisions were sacri
ficed first, but the Prussian guard di.
visions. thrown in to stem the British
flood tide, have been suffering such
casualties in the last few days that
they will have to be relieved.
The Canadians accounted for q
large contingent Of grenadiers In the
fighting. while the affair at Lagni-
court took its heaviest toll both In
dead and prisoners from five German
regiments.
1t will ever be one Of the most strik-
ing pictures of this war, the rout of
the Germans at Lagnicourt, after
what they believed to have been sue
cessful attack.

ish in Mesopotamia.

ROME REPORTS EMPEROR
 INVITED ID ABDICATE
Italian Paper Says It Can Confirm Statements That Williams Advisers
 Are Urging Such Action.

Rome, via Paris, April 24.-The Corriere d'Italia, the clerical organ, declares that it is able to confirm reports published in the Spanish newspapers that the immediate fol- lowing of the German emperor is eX- erting pressure on his to abdicate. The paper says that at 6 recent meet ing of the Hohenzollern family one member, bolder than the rest, inti- mated that the emperor might save the situation by following the exam pie of Emperor Nicholas.
 The German monarch is reported to have turned pale and after observ- ing that the general opinion was against him, left the room muttering, eve shall see."
 Little importance is attached to this story in Italian political circles. In these quarters it is thought that the story has German origin and is put out with the intention of in- fluencing opinion
