Exactly twenty-five months after
the Germans began the historical
battle of Verdun, the thunder OF
their guns deepened into a tenn
pest of fire along the British front
in northern France and they be-
gan what may be the greatest battle
OF the war, a struggle which may
lead to results which will shape the
destinies of millions OF people over
coming centuries.
The attack was made on scale
hitherto unknown during this war Of
major offensives. 1t was over a
front of fifty miles Official reports
are very brief, but correspondents
at the scene tell of the terrific
storm of artillery fire that burst
over the lines held by Field Marshal
Haig's men.
The bombardment began at 8
o'clock Thursday morning Just be-
fore the early spring dawn was
breaking over eastern France. Shells
of large and small calibres were
rained upon the lines held by the
British about five hours. Then Ger
man infantry stormed out to make
the first great assault, The Ger
mans, favored by the wind, moved
forward under cover of pail Of
smoke which hid the assaulting col
umns from the eyes Of the British
holding the front lines.
Describing the battle Andrew Bo
mar Law informed the house OF com
mons that lightly held portions Of
the British line had been withdraw
but said that there was no need fol
alarm on the part of the country
The Associated Press correspondent
at the British front reports that al
attack there had been expected anC
that great preparations had beer
made to meet 1t. The German OF
ficiaI report says that the Germans
have penetrated into some British
positions.
Nor we're the German efforts con
centrated on the front held by th'
British. EARLY Thursday morning
the Germans assaulted the Frencl
lines near the village of 0rnes, t
the northeast of Verdun, and CLAIM

, which have not had experience in
engagements OF the first degree
might be found to yield easier than
veterans. That such an attack may
yet be launched, and with only slight
artillery preparation, is within the
possibilities.
The activity In the American sec
tors during the past three weeks
would indicate that the Germans have
been concerned with the disposition
of General Pershing's legions, their
probable strength and the location
of the batteries supporting the in
fantry holding the lines.
The Germans have called upon the
Austrian army for assistance in their
effort to carry the battle to the
entente allies, for the official re-
ports from Berlin say that Austro-
Hungarian artillery is engaged along
the western front. 1t is probably that
the great Austrian howitzers, or
Skodas, have been used against the
stronger sectors of the British lines.

that the Germans have been san
quinarily repulsed in a number OF

and Lorraine fronts, N
