that the process to be followed was
similar to that adopted in placing
American troops in the Front lines
with the French for training.
1t has been estimated that thirty
days training of this character with
American battalion units assigned
with the British organization will fit
the new corners for active duty.
The training process will he quicker
with the British than with the
French. it is believed, because the
language difficulty does not exist
The Americans are to be withdrawn
when trained and turned over to Gen.
Pershing as Il part OF his army. They
will share fully with their British
comrades the battles on their front,
and the belief here is that they will
not be withdrawn as long as there is
pressing needs for their service with
the British lines.

ALLIED TROOPS
WELL ENTRENcHED
German General Staff
Has Wholesome Re-
spect for Allied Re-
serve Army Which
Has Been Lightly
Drawn Upon So Far
in Big Offensive

Facing American, French and Brit
ish troops strongly cntrenched and
we'll equipped for battle, the German
army has for the moment given I'D
its direct Grivc against Amiens. Fol-
lowing utter rCpulsc in his efforts to
smash straight through to his obicc-
tive, the enemy is now ATTEMPTING n
new vancouver which is intended to
broaden the field of action and reduce
the menace of counter offensive
which would nulify all the gains
made by the Teutons since March 81.
Reports from the battle line in
Picardy disclose the first stages Of
this new German offensive aimed at
either side of the salient in the Allied
lines. From Labasscc canal, in the
north to the sectors east of Laon, the
great artillery forces Of the enemy
are numbering. with the lombard
mcnt deepening at places to the in
tensity of drumfire.
The length Of this front is approx
imately .2O miles. North of Lens. cast
of Arras, along the new front run
ming through Bucquoy to Albert,
south to Montdidier and thence east
ward past Lassigny and Noyon to a
point far beyond Chauny the Ger
mans arc hhmmering the Allied lines
in an attempt to break the defenses
and prepare them for the infantry
assault which may be expected at any
moment on the Western elbow" of
the salient in the Allied lines. the
Germans are forced to fight up hill.
Their advance across the lower
ground along the Somme, Ancre.
Avre ana Luce rivers has carried
them UP to q parapet of hills which
sentinel the road to Amiens.
Attacks along this natural bulwark
have netted the enemy only insignif-
cant gains at a horrible cost. At
points the German efforts have
gained, but these gains have resulted
only in thc formation of sharp salcnts
which are swept by rlle anu iildtiiii'
gun fire and tempests or ShelIs
wherever enemy troops are seen
forming for an attack.
There is wholesome respect In the
German general staff for the allied re-
serve army which as yet appears TO
have been drawn upon lightly to meet
the Teutonic attacks The attack on
the French lines southeast Of Chauny
is for the purpose Of removing men
acing salient and the gaining Of better
protection to the German left flank.
This assault still is going on and it
has made considerable progress. The
Germans struck through the lower for

south Of the village of Folembray. The
