New York. April 2l--After three
weeks of preparation in the Somme,
during which time they launched an
offensive in Flanders, the Germans
have resumed their hammering at the
front door of Amiens. For days there
has been heavy artillery firing along
the northern sectors of the Somme
salient and finally the German in
fantry began their attempts to ad-
vance on the line passing Nillers-
Bretonneux. Hangard, Halle and
Castel. The first attacks were re-
pulsed, but subsequent attacks cen
tered about Nillers-BretonneuX have
caused a British withdrawal from this
village. according to report from
Field Marshal IIaig.
This marks German gain OF about
mile.
Nillers BretonneuX is about eleven
miles directly east of Amiens and is
on the northern end of the latest
fighting front. It j. situated between
Ithe Somme and Luce rivers and while
| It IS flanked on the south by low lying
ground, It is backed by rolling hills
TO the west and northwest.
The fighting on the rest of the front
where the Germans have resumed
their drive toward the allied base OF
supplies in northern France has not
so far as is known, resulted in any
notable retirements on the part of the
allies. The German official report is
sued on Wednesday was silent as 10
events in this sector of the front
An attack on this particular part Of
the line in the Somme region had
been expected and it is probable that
preparations to meet It had ben made
The British lines held firm in this re-
gion during the last days OF the initial
drive, while the Germans were able
10 forge ahead further south until
they reached the village of Castel
about three miles from the railroad
running to Paris, from Amiens. Re-
Gently a French counter offensive at
Castel won back considerable ground
and It was evident that unless the
line farther north could be advanced
materially the Germans had little
chance to make important gains in
their operations to the south Of
Amiens.
This new drive has been made at
the same time that another blow has
been struck at the British and French
lines northwest Of Ypres. Savage
lighting is reported at various points
along the line from Bailleul to Mer-
vile and Berlin claims that heights
to the northeast of Bailleul have been
stormed.
| Coincident with these attacks there
have been assaults in the British
forces near Bethune, along the Lave
river, but these have been repulsed.
Some of the uncertainty as to the
Isuccess of the British exploit in at
tempting TO seal up the harbors of
IZeebrugge and Ostend has been
cleared up by observations carried out
lby aviators. Grave damage was done
to the mole at Zeebrugge, while the
Ihulks Of sunken steamers are said to
at least partially block the channel
leading out to sea from the port of
IOstend.
The situation between Germany and
lHolland is still obscure. 1t has been
reported that a virtual ultimatum was
delivered to The Netherlands govern
lment by Berlin, but this is not as yet
known to be a fact. Dispatches from

INTENSE 5OM5ARDMENT OF
FRENCH AND AMERICANS.

Paris, April 24-The battle on the
whole front south OF the Somme and
on the Avre lasted all day and still
continues. according to the war office
announcement tonight. The Germans
gained n footing in the woods to the
.northward OF Hangard en- -Santerre
and also In the eastern outskirts of
the village which the French are des-
.perately defending.
Several enemy assaults were shat
tered near Hailles and attacks at
senecat Wood and Hill SO also failed.
The state 1ent says;
'An intense bombardment of the
Franco American positions south of
the Somme and on the Avre was fol-
lowed by a German attack carried out
all along this front by considerable
forces at five o'clock in the morning.
The efforts of the enemy were di-
Irected against Hangard -en Santerre,
the region OF Hailes and Senecat
Wood.
South of Avre the battle which
lasted all day continues at the pres
ent hour. II was particularly stub
born in the region OF Hangard. After
10 series of furious assaults, the
enemy succeeded in gaining footing
in the wood north of Hangard as well
as in the eastern outskirts OF the
village which our troops are desper-
ately defending
The fighting was less violent In
the neishborhood of Hallles. Several
enemy assaults directed against the
ridge east of the village we're broken
down by our fire and our counter at
tacks.
Further to the south the Germans
were similarly checked in their at
tempts against Senecat Wood and Hill
S2, which remained entirely in our
possession.

The Sentinel=record. (Hot Springs, Ark.) 1900-current, 1918-04-25

The reference in the official state
ment issued by the French war office
definitely locates the American troops
which were moved from the south
crn sectors OF the battle line to parts
of the front which were hard pressed
during the great German drive through
Picardy. II has been known that they
were somewhere in the battle area
since April 6. when Stephen Pichon.
foreign minister of France, speaking
at Paris, spoke of the Americans
fighting in Picardy and sacrificing
their lives to drive the enemy from
our land"
On April 10 dispatches from both
the French and British headquarters
in France reported the arrival OF
American troops. This was prior to
the time when the French extended
their lines far to the north of Mont
Didier The French official statement
may indicate that the Americans did
not move to the north when the
American forces were replaced by the
French, but held the positions to
which they we're originally assigned.

Paris, June 12.-The French troops
fighting southeast of Montdidier have
turned upon the Germans in .. violent
attack and administered a severe de-
feat to the enemy over front OF
about seven and a half miles between
Rubescourt and st. Maure. 1t was
over this front that he French since
Sundays offensive began had held
back the Germans from keeping pace
with the advance they were making
from the center Of the line south OF
Ressons-Sur-Matz toward tho Disc
river, where the onslaughts of the in:
va6ers were met with a defense in
man and gun power that brought to
the Germans enormous casualties.
The villages of Belloy, Genlis wood
and the heights rising between Cour-
celles and Mortemer were recGptured
by the French, and in addition to the
infliction of heavy casualties on the
enemy, Gen. Foch's men took, more
than 1000 prisoners and also captured
guns In the immediate center of the
line between Montdidier and Noyon,
where the Germans had been able to
extend the apex Of their drive to An>
theuil, the enemy also was attacked
and driven back, but southwest OF
Noyon he succeeded in reaching Mach
emont and Bethancourt, the last
named place lying on the west bank
Of the Disc river.
The American marines fighting in
the Chateau Thierry sector have COM
pleted the capture of the Belleau wood
patton took 800 prisoners. The latest
German official communications as
serted that the Germans mad repulsed
several attacks in this immediate
vicinity.
The German war office claims the
capture of 10000 additional prisoners,
which with the number of captives re-
ported Monday, would bring the total
to $4,000 in the present fighting.
Since the new offensive began along
the Soissons- Rheims sector Mey 81, it
is asserted by the German official
communication that the army group
of the German crown prince has taken
about $4,000 allied troops captive.
In one of the most ambitious opera
tions carried out in many days, Field
Marshal Haig's troops in the Amiens
sector have struck the Germans
hard blow. Australians succeeded in
advancing their line half mile over
a mile and half front and took near
ly 300 prisoners, including five Off
GERS. In addition, twenty-one m chine
guns and a trench mortar were cap
tured.
Another peace offensive" by Ger
many and Austria-Hungary apparently
is in the air. 1t is asserted that In
Berlin the government and the high
army command are discussing dec
laration of war aims, while from
Vienna comes the news that the Aus
tro- Hungarian foreign minister, in an
interview has reiterated that he still
adheres to the policy of peace by un-
derstanding, and that the dual mon
archy seeks no annexations.
On June 10 four German planes and
one captive balloon were brought
down by French pursuit machines.
