London, March 25-Stubborn resistance by the Brit
ish and help from the French and Americans, today
served to defeat the German attempt to break through to
Amiens and Compeigne, gateways to Paris.
The Disc and the Somme red with the blood of
ghing thousands and the Teuton casualties estimated
at at least double those of the Allies
The issue of the most monentous battle in the worlds
history, however is still in doubt Berlin reports the
tre of Bapaume and villages to the north and west of
that city, The Kaiser is hurting division after division in
the breach caused by the terrific concentrated fire of the
British artillery.
The battle continues with great violence along the
whole 'front.' During the night and this morning fresh
hostile attacks developed north and south of Bapaume
The ultimate object of the enemy is clearly the great
strategic point of Amiens the Times says and though
it still remote the situation is sufficiently serious to
warrant contemplation of this catastrophe The fall of
Amens might have threefod consequences 1t would bring
the enemy to point from which he could threaten our
northern lnes it would assist him strike at Channel
pors and would endanger seriously the safety of Paris
The Times advises the British to take seriously the
long range bombardment of Paris. 1--WE may be quite
certain our owh nvolae shores will soon learn what the
new gun do" it says

tillery on the Toul front today heavily
sfelled the German first line. The
enemy replied, using gas shells. Air
planes later photographed the dam

ed. The Americans also shelled St.
Baussant and the billets and dumps
north of Bouquetau. Many shells fell
in the first two German lines, which
were virtually abandoned in at least
cne place. This is the third success
sive day that the Germans have heav-
lily bombarded certain t t'wn within
the American lines with gas shells.
An enemy airplane stopped it's en-
gines at gines at great height over
the American lines northwest of Toul
and planed down and dropped a guam
tity of bombs, some of which exploded
liz midair. They contained mustard
gas, which quickly descended toward
some of oul battery positions and
the road. A German gas shell bonn.
bardment began after the machine had
disappeared. Another enemy air plane
hovered over the town while the gas
tombardmc, was in progress. The
weather was especially suitable for
aerial work. On one sector fourteen
enemy airpianes crossed during the
afternoon. Four friendly craft were
over the American lines during the
same period. American anti-aircraft
guns routed about midnight a group
of seven enemy craft, apparently on
bombing expeditions.

Many people took shelter, but lar
