HEAVY ARTILLERY ENABLES TEUTONS ID EXTEND LINES
Fanlike Formation Spreads Forcing Allies Slowly to Fall Back; Gern1any's Re serves Rushed Forward.
By RevIew Leased WIrel

iBN Review Leased Mlre)
 WITH HE FRENCH ARMIES IN FRANCE, May q (By The Associated Press ).-Fighting has been begun on Q new sector of the battle line in the region of the Ailette river between the Aisne front and the front of the Ger. man attack in March.
 Owing to the ability of the enemy to bring to bear a large concentration Of artillery and the use of poison gas shells. the allies were obliged 10 with draw slightly.
 Rush Up Fresh Divisions
 The fan-like formation of the enemy movement was pushed put on the sides and in the center yesterday, cC g- ering more territory. The allies are falling back slowly before enormously greater numbers. AviatoTs report ac- tivity along all the rear of the German advanced forces, as fresh enemy di- visions are hurried forward Co Ja85 the place of exhausted units. The al- lied airmen are doing splendid work. harrassing the German endorsements and supply columns by making at tacks from low attitudes with machine guns. The German ayiators are very numerous in this region and aerial Combats are occurring constantly.
 In the central part of the battle ffont the enemy, finding that before him were only tired troops which had fought day and night since Monday, was able to make another leap for ward toward to the Marne by pene- trating the thin allied line with small bodies Of selected men armed with iehtsmachine guns.
 Infantry Engagement
 The battle has now developed al most purely into an infantry fight. The artillery in action appears to be only of about the same amount as is usual on a quiet sector.
 South of Soissons the enemy at tempted a renewal of his push, but came in contact with French troops, which thrust him back, notwithstand- ing his employmen of numerous tanks. The French here executed a vigOr- Ous counter attack, which caused great confusion and loss to German battalions and made the enemy hesi- tate No progress was made. In the center the Germans were placing great faith in their immense superiority of numbers. An added advantage is that they carry a number of light and heavy machine guns They evidently are abundtantly supplied with ammu- milton as they kept their guns going at all times. Vilie-EnTardenois was a taget for the few cannon they were able to cary forward with them dur ing their rapid advance. Their incen- diary shells started 9 fire in that town, or its immediate vicinity. as the core spondent witnessed large clouds of smoke there, while frequently shrapnel burst overhead. Farther eastward in the vicinity of Rheims, where the united French and British columns are resisting, the enemy appears unable to make any advance, except when the allies are ready to recede to readjusC their line while neighboring troops fall back.
