BRITISH HIT
GERMAN LINES
ON WIDE FROM 7
Penetrate Hindenburg Forces at
Several Points Indicating
General Offensive
PRELUDE IN WEST TO
IMPORTANT MOVEMENTS
Extension of Attack North of
Lens Giving Allies More
Room for Operations

London, April 9.-The British early
this morning attacked and penetrated
the German line on a wide front from
a point south of Arras, to the south
of Lens, thus opening what is believ-
ed here to be a general spring often
sive. The move has been looked for,
ward to eagerly for some days.
The offensive of the British flying
corps in the latter part Of the last
week, the attack on Zeebrugge, Satur-
day night, and the activities of the
French in Belgium, as shown in yes
terday's official communication from
Paris, were considered a prelude to
important military operations.
Extend Attack.
The British commander, General
Haig, whose reports are always
guarded, says the German line was
penetrated everywhere, and that sat-
isfactory progress has been made In
the region of Cambria and St. Quen-
tin, two important positions in con-
nection with the new German line.
The extension of the attack north
ward to Lens doubtless was intended
to give the British more elbow room
for their operations from Arras to
the point of juncture with the French
around st. Quentin.
The official statement says that in
the direction of Cambria the British
have stormed the villages of Hermies
and Boursies and penetrated Havrin'
court wood.
Advance Lines.
In the direction of st. Quentin, the
British took Fresnoy lie Petit and ad-
vanced their line southeast of LIE Ver-
guier. No estimate of the number of
Germans captured ,caI, vet be given,
the statement says, but the number Is
considerable. s.
Referring to the attack on the front
between Arras and Lens, the state
ment says: slaW <4!iA,. 49, ~

GenerMap Offensive. "-f'" +,
The fighting 9hke from Lens to" Ar
ras is approxinaatflyi ten. miles long.
and lies directly north Of the field Of
German retreat. -...~
The fact that the line has been
penetrated by the British all along
the this wide front, indicates that the
movement is a general offensive.
That it is proving a successful drive
is indicated by the statement that
satisfactory progress is being made
"at all points"
New Phase Opens Up.
An entire new phase of operations
on the western front Is thus opened
up. The field of attack represents
the greatest danger point for the Ger
mans as in the previous fighting a
sharp salient was driven in the Ger
man line southeast Of ArFas. Z, as s.
In the Lens region. into which the
British are driving, is a rich coal
field, which the Germans had been
exploiting in their occupation of this
territory early in the war.
The opening of the new offensive
has been foreshadowed In the Entente
aerial activity in the past two or
three days, in which hundreds OF aer-
oplanes have been engaged on both
sides.
The capture of Fresnoy le Petit
puts the British within two and one
half miles of St. Quentin's outskirts
