that another terrific attack by the
Germans is imminent 1t is indicated
that the British expect the new at
tack to be on as great a scale as that
OF March 21, when the fighting was
begun over front of fifty miles. The
halt in the German assault has. given
the Teutons chance to reform their
shattered divisions. it is admitted. but
It also has allowed the Allies to
strengthen their lines. The arrival of
American troops, which are coming to
the battlefield in large numbers. is an
other factor in favor of the Entente
