Forty Miles of Hindenburg Line
Taken by French.
Greater Than SOmme Victory

ARTILLERY DECIDED BATTLE
French Onslaught Against Ger
mans Most Terrific.
New Offensive Carries Teutons
Back Two Miles.

Along a 17O-mile front the French
and British are pushing back the
German armies in a titanic struggle
for mastery of the western front.
Stepping into the fray after the
British had been hammering the Ger
man lines in the Arras region to bits
for a week, the French struck on a
25-mile front along the Aisne carried
the German positions to an average
depth of from two to two and a half
miles, captured more than 10000
prisoners and maintained all the
ground won.
Last night. after the great success
of their initial rush, General Nivelle's
forces occupied themselves with con-
soiidating their new positions and re-
sisting German counterattacks. All
these assaults were repulsed and in
the allies region west of Craonne the
Germans suffered heavy losses. Their
total casualties in the first twenty
four hours fighting are estimated at
1905 900 men.
Both British and French reports
today indicate that the continuation
of the operations is being hampered
by bad weather. Nevertheless the
British pushed forward in the region
between st. Quentin and Cam brai, ad-
vancing east of Epehy to LIE Tombois.
farm, within two and a half miles of
LaCatelet, where they threaten to cut
the st. Quentin Cambria main line of
communication. The strategy outlines
of the Anglo-French attack have been
worked out in complete harmony by
the staffs of the two armies. The dis
patch indicate entire coordination for
placing and timing the blows delivered
so as to insure the greatest possible
effectiveness.
In a broad way 1t may be Judged
the French now have for their i'm
mediate objective the isolation of
the important railway center of Loan,
to turn the southern end of the Hin
denburg line. The British already
pierced this line at the northern end.
The joint operation apparently is
aimed at the rolling UP of the present
German front in an effort to compel a
retirement on a greater scale than any
vet witnessed on the western front
since the battle of the Marine.
Operations in the other war are at
present of secondary Importance, al
tho the French activities farther west
in the Champagne and in the AIsace-
Lorraine district apparently will bear
close watching for possible important
developments.
In Mesopotamia the British have ad-
vanced further up the Tigris to with

Washington, April IA popular

all over the central western part of
the country if rush of kilograms and
letters here are to be accepted as
showing which way the wind blows.
Opinion prevails here that the CEN

the real war conditions facing this
country and some kind of an "awak-

in congress believe, could deliver the
punch to rouse tine country, perhaps
better than any other man. 1t IS
probable that should the conscription

The compromise which seems like

the president to call for 100000 to
100000 volunteers imm ediately, to
be raised within ninety days. At the
same time the machinery for conscrip-

motion SO that if the volunteer system
does not work within ninety days, con-

In an effort to bring about non-par-
