the Allied line, reinforced and under co-ordinated command, will prove an
 impossible barrier, even to the heav-
 jest assaults the enemy may bring to
 bear.
 IL is recalled that on Jan. 19 Field
 Marshal von Hindenburg was quoted as boosting that on Auril 1 he would be in Paris. The map shows him to-
 day still considerable distance short of his objective-52 miles in fact.
 The Germans are digging them selves in feverishly around Lassigny on the southern line of the salient where French pressure has been heavy. South of the Somrle the tide turned suddenly. German assaults were repulsed and the French made good gains.
 The German peace drive toward Amiens, Paris and the channel ports is fast becoming g battle of the na- tions. The conflict opened with Brit ish and German soldiers the adver- saries. Since then the French and American armies have joined with Field Marshal Haig's forces while Austrian and Bulgarian troops are aiding the enemy. Canadian cavalry and Australian infantry have been doing much of the fighting under the British flag in the last two days.
 Over the reads to the battlefield ill motor trucks and on foot, 100000 American soldiers are moving to join he fight against the invader and to lrive him back. The American troops are now under controI of Gen. Foch, he generalissimo, but their destina- ion in the fighting area has not been disclosed. They are seasoned troops md are reported as anxious to get nto the fight.
 The most intense fighting is pro- yressing south of the Somme where lttempt after attempt is being made ,y the Germans to break the indomit- .ble Franco-British defense and reach he Paris-Amiens railway line or Amiens itself. Unable to make gains stride the Scmme, the enemy has made heavy attacks at other points put without success. Moreuil, the enter of the fighting south of the 'omme, is reported to have changed lands four times and is now held by British, Canadian and French troops.

More to the north, in the region of Nor euil, the Germans appear to have re- nounced their general attacks and re- storted to local actions. Two of these were extremely violent between Mar ceicave and the Soune, but ttcy came against the sternest kind of re- sistance from the French who repulsed them after severe fighting. The other attack came on the right bank of the Somme at the same period. This also met failure.
 Here the field artillery caught the Germans under a tempest of shells, which drove them back, but only after the ground was strewn with hundreds of bodies. At Pied mont, two German divisions, which received orders to execute an ad- varce, at whatever cost, found them selves confronted with a French di- vision which would not give before their fury. For a moment the French were forced back, but they took breath md came at the enemy again in such a rush that the Germans were driven from the heights, leaving 700 prison CTS in French hands, including 20 of icers. At no period of the war has the fighting been so fierce.
