Hindenburg's Cohorts Fought to a

Own Dead.
London, March 30.-The tenth day
of the world-important battle OF n
cardy found the allied armies linked
solidly under one supreme commander
in-chief-General Foch, one of the
master strategists of Europe.
General Foch took over the hlgh
command at an hour when the mighty
battle was looking extremely favor
able for the allies. The Germans had
been beaten at Arras, where they tried
TO smash the British front and win
back the famous Vimy ridge.
South Of that sector the British, by
means of swift and powerful counter
attacks, had driven the Germans back,
recapturing important ground and
prisoners.
South of the Somme river fighting Of
tremendous proportions has continued
to rage, but the Germans were held
in check, sustaining staggering losses
London, March 30.-Ffenclr forces
are trying to slice off the sharp end
of the German wedge, which lies just
west of Montdidier. Petain's men are
thrusting northward between Mont
didier and Lassigny, twelve and half
miles to the east and south, in al;
effort to flank the enemy forces fight
ing on the line from Montdider north
ward. East Of Lassigny, the state
ment said, there is no change in the
situation.

March 29.-In the last forty-e!ght
hours H;ndenburg's cohorts have been
fought practically to a standstill.

widely different sources shows that
the German war lords battle plans
have signally miscarried.
With the French Armies in the
Field, March 29-French bombing
planes have dropped sixty-fve tons of
explosives on German communicating
lines ard depots during the enemy
offensive.
Aaso for The first time, French avia-
tors are successfully participating ir
battle, bombing troop concentrations
both on the fighting line and ir re-
serve.
Fighting squadrons participate il
every combat, constantly pouring ma
chine-gun fire into enemy conveys.

Ham, Chauny, Nesle and Guiscard.
Prisoners assert the German army
is accompanied by special "@houl
squads" whose duty it is to strip
allied and German dead of all cloth
ing, shoes and equipment, which ar:
extremely scarce in Germany. Some
of these ghouls taken prisoner ADM:
their surprise at the small numbers
of French dead and wounded
The fighting of the past twenty
four hours, it was estimated today
has increased the German losses to
upwards of 100000 men.

In one instance a BOche prisoner was
summarily shot because he refused to

body later led to the discovery that
il was mined. The German was
aware OF this fact and refused to
touch it.
In one small town evacuated by
the Germans, many Of the beds were
found to be mined. An American Of
