London. March aS-Tonight's re-
ports from the front were of a check

sustained couple of backs the
most encouraging news comes from
sectors on the French front. where
the advance was most threatening.
The French, having brought up re-
serves, have been able on their hith-
crto yielding line between Hainvil-

counter attack, to drive the enemy
back a distance of three kilometres
on a front of 10 kilometres.
Coupled with this hopeful news
comes reports of a sinking barometer
and a threat of snow, which would
seriously hamper German operations,
although also bad for the British air
service. which has hitherto done
grand work behind the German line.
The British setback occurred on the
Somme and the Scarpe. The Germans
succeeded IN crossing the Somme from
the north to south in the neiehbo =
hood Of Chapilly, compelling the

objective, Amiens. This will BE re-

the new German move against Arins

failed. but the southern attack was
successful, forcing the British to re
