ENGLAND A w ATS
GREAT BATTLE ON
WESTERN FRONT
German Defense Stiffens as
the Retiring Troops Ap-
proach the "Hindenburg
Line" to Make Stand.

London, March 21.-The German re-
treat has apparently not yet reached
the "Hindenburg line" today. Never
theless, a slowing up in the speed of
the retrograde movement. and a stiff
fleming of the fighting, reported in dis
patches from both the British and
French fronts, indicated that the mo-
ment when German troops will settle
down in their prepared positions and
make stand, was fast approaching.
The line on which fighting was in
progress today apparently extends
southwark from point near Arras to
st. Leger, Velu, Canizy Gall on the
British 'front.' and thence, on the
French front to Roupy. Tergnier and
the st. Quentin canal.
CLOSE TO THE LINE.
IL several places. at least, the line
of today's fighting is within two or
three miles of the "Hindenburg line
as experts here have picked it. The
French are nearest the German per-
manent defenses. The British have
made haste more slowly, preferring to
rebuild the destroyed country over
which they advanced.
England is waiting great battle.

enormous sacrifices.
German soldiers have labored like

Not only will Germany have the ad-
vantage of a carefully prepared line in
her new move but army officers point
ed out today that Germany will save
her offensive power. Saving may be of
great importance In future operations
