Last ight---Germans Continue Long
Range Bombardment of Paris--Odessa
Captured by Ukranian Troops

British Army Headquarters in
France, March 27.-The Germans last
night continued furious fighting south
westward from Ham in the region of
Roye and Noyon, having slowed down
in their attempt to cat through the
British lines to the north where such
desperate resistance was offered. Hard
fighting occurred last night about AL
bert where, at last reports, the British
were holding against large enemy
forces. The conflict around Roye and
Nayon appears to be of great import
ance; the indications are that the Ger
man high command are attempting to
split the allied front there and start
the rolling up process either way. The
Germans have now reclaimed virtually
all the territory lost in the Somme
battle last fall. From the average of
casualties given by prisoners the Ger
mans lost nearly fifty per cent. of
their forces which have been engaged
since the advance started.
The latest reports are that the Ger
mans have made no further attacks
against Bray. North of Albert, how
ever, they have attacked in consider
able strength toward Avenly wood but
the assault broke against the British
lines and recoiled. North of this point
the situation is unchanged.

An impressive event took Mss 6 this

when Mrs. Alice Woodrough Chapman
was presented with a beautiful pink

who have worked with her and under
her leadership. She has labored hard
and increasingly ever since the cold
breezes of the North blew her down
last fall, and has been most kind ana
patient during all of the time.
Rev. Harriet Baker Robinson gath
cred the ladies around one of the large
tables, with Mrs. Chapman at the
