 New York. March 26.--British re. re sistance to the mighty German blow west of Cambrai is apparently stiff fening. The Germans despite new masses of reserves hurled against the battle line are slowing up in some parts of the front before Haig's del fense. \
 Herman progress is appreciablly slow, in the extreme north and center. Around Bapaume and east and north of Noyone the enemy has made some gains at cost of fearful losses.
 sSoutheastl8of Arras the British yielded only about three miles, the greatest depth since Saturday. Im- nlediately west of the Somme and South of Peronne, the Germans sui fered severely, forcing a crossing of the river. The enemy was seemingly unable to advance as fast as they did before the river Was reached.
 In the Bapaume region the Ger mans were drlven along IHe Salleiie toward Longueval which may prove q menace to themselves as the Brl- tish line is holding both north and south, between the Somme and Disc, where the French are assisting the British. The Germans have reached Sesle& and Guiscard around Chauncy. The Germans apparently will not at tempt to cross the Disc. The original German attack took the form of ssPincers" operations but the British retirement enabled them to- elude the jaws of the Pincers, forcing advance to take the form of a wedge.

 British Headquarters, March 26.- There is reason to believe that impor- tant events will; be recorded in a lew hours which may lead to the better ment of the armies stemming the German onslaught. The enemy is fighting desperately against time. On the first day his reserves were reduced to fifty-two divisions, and at the end of the second day some forty divisions of reserves were put in.N x
 Further massing of Germans is reported at Peronne and north of Bapaume, both sof which the enemy hold. Bapaume has been turned in to an inferno by the British aviators' Their bombs tore to pieces whatever was left of the place. This work of the British , airmen is one, of the brightest pagessIof the battle. Con- pilations made personally by corres- pondent indicate that at least 13O German 4 airplanes have AAbeen brought down. During the night there was comparatively little change in the line. There was no heavy at tack up to ten o'clocq this morning. The British are holding the enemy strongly betweea Combles and Albert. ! q ; . a t.

Me10R CAR DIVISION
+ IS READY FOR FRANCE
Five Companies Trained at Camp
! Johnston to Drive Officers Ma
chimes at the Front.

Five motor car companies, cOnsti-
tuting the first motor car division OF
the United States army, have COM
pleted training at Camp Joseph E.
Johnston, Jacksonville, Fla, for serv-
ice in France. Each man Of each
company is a soldier. At the front
the duty of these men will be to drive
the motor cars used by officers.
Late last year orders were received
to train a motor car division at Camp
Johnston. The men provided num-
bered several hundred, all fresh from
civil life, and the majority of them
total strangers to motor car.
The officer assigned to the work Of
training the men laid out course on
the theory of the internal combustion
engine and automobile principles in
particular. The men were thorough
ly grounded in theory, and given a
complete practical course in the high
~ important matter of repairs. They
were familiarized with motor car
parts, and received their final course
Of driving instructions with feet OF
~ Dodge Brothers cars, hundreds of
which are in the government service.
Upon the completion Of all the va
rious courses laid out, the men were
awarded diplomas. At last reports
the division was ready for service
abroad and the men were eagerly
awaiting word which would start
them on their way to France.
