London. Mar. 2l.-The German at

thus far during the war on any part
of the western 'front.' Andrew ,Bonar
Law, spokesman Of the government,
told the house Of commons today.

OF the line which was very lightly
held"
This was nothing more than was
expected. and was in accordance with
instructions. There was nothing in
the nature of surprise about the
attack"
Had Forecast Loss
Mr.. Bonar Law reminded the house
that he had given warning week ago
that if such an attack occurred the
attacking party would gain a certain
amount of ground. and the govern
ments information so far did not lead
to the belief that anything beyond
that had happened.
Il AIN sure that with the knowledge
beforehand of what has happened in
similar attacks on either side" con-
tinued Mr.. Bonar Law, the house and
country viii not be unnecessarily al

Treasures People.
Our staff and the Versailles cOun
Gil naturally have been considering
what might happen in the event of an
attack. And l may tell the house thai
this attack has been launched on
every part Of our line we were inform |
ed would be attacked, if an attack
were undertaken at all.
81 may say that only three days
ago we received information at the
cabinet from headquarters in France ,
that they had definitely arrived at ,

launched Immediately and as they ,
were prepared to meet it, the coun.

British Hold Germans Back at

Offensive
MANY GAS SHELLS USED

British Army Headquarters in
France. Mar: 21.-(By the Associated
Press)-The. Germans this forenoon
launched a heavy attack against the
British lines over wide front in, and
near the Cambria sector, and the as
sault bears al the ear marks Of being
the beginning of the enemys much
heralded grand offensive.
Hard fighting is proceeding from a
point north of Lagnicourt southwark
to Gauche wood, just below Gouzea-
court. The attack was preceded by
heavy mbardment from guns Of
all calibres, and the duel between the
opposing heavy batteries has been
rocking the countryside for hours.
Many Shells in Battle.
The Germans have employed gas
shells freely, and a constant stream
of high velocity shells has been
breaking with firightful conclusion
far back of the British lines.
The bOmbardment began in earnest
at o'clock this morning and about
five hours later the enemy forces
hurled themselves on the British front
line trenches north Of Lagnicourt and

said that the attack in this region
was by no means unexpected by the
British and that they had made great
preparations to meet the onslaught.

ing itself
This much is certain:
British Are Ready
AT no point has the British war
machine been in such perfect condi-
ton. Never before has there been
higher morale or optimism among the
British troops. The general impress
sion on the front is In agreement
with that OF the Germans-that this
is the decisive contest OF the war. But
on the British side there is no doubt
that the decision will eventually be
in the allies favor.
Germany is stalking everything on
this play and If the great attack fails
to break clear through. 1t is believed
that the Germans will be finished. for
they have nothing further to offer, eN.
