GERMANS LAST TRUMP WILL Rf
 OVER TURNED
Entire Confidence in French Headquarters That AL
 lies Will Triumph.

French Front in France, Monday, March 21.-(By Associated Press) - Entire confidence reigns that the Germans last trump in the world bat tie will be overturned when the prop CT moment comes. The allied military authorities were fully cognizant that the enemy's supreme effort would cause a retreat until measures could be taken to check the eruption into the allies positions.
 The ground over which the fighting has taken place possesses small tao tical value but it permitted the allies to retire in perfect order. It had been devastated by the Germans before they retreated last year and the in- habitants had not had time or means to build it up again. While retiring across what was almost desert land the British inflicted enormous losses on the enemy, who threw away thou sands of lives in an effort to over- come the resistance he encountered.
 When the retiring British reached the Somme and the canal, they turn ed about and gave battle, meeting re- peated and long sustained endeavors of both infantry and cavalry.
 The initial rush of the enemy seems to have been stopped. Military opin- ion generally is that this first phase of the great battle, in which even more troops were employed than in the battle of the Marne, gives no indi- cation of what the result will be. New ertheless, developments are awaited by the allies without anxiety.
 As always, the attackers possessed the advantage of knowing exactly where they would launch their on- slaught, while the defenders were com- pelled to await development of the bat tie before meeting the onrush with counter measures. There is every sign in today's situation that the ter riff attack, in which apparently some where in the neighborhood of one mill lion Germans of all arms are engaged, is being slackened. The resistance of the allies seems firmer and the arrival on the scene of French reserves, sent up to the southern flank, brought vel come support to the British, who sus- tained the first powerful rush.
 The German divisions which began what evidently was intended to be an irresistible forward movement were so cut up that they were replaced by fresh formations. It is those divisions which have been checked at the po- sitions on which it was foreseen by the allied general that stand would be made.
