WEDNESDAY STORY OF BATTLE
Frank Charlton,
Gable Editor /. N. S.

The momentum of the German drive
in France has greatly slackened.
The British made a slight retire
ment during the night in the sector
of Bray just north of the Somme riv
er, but all efforts against the French
front collapsed owing to the gallant
resistance of the defenders
bray lies between eight and nine
miles west of Peronne on the Albert
Peronne highway.
The British retired on both sides OF
the Somme river, evidently falling
back upon stronger positions for
better defense of Albert on the south
west
Northeast of Albert the Germans
were unable to continue their assaults
in force apparently because OF the
tremendous losses they have suffered
The fighting in that district was de-
scribed by Field Marshal Haig in his
report to the British war office as 10
CAL" The battle in the Albert sector
remains unchanged.
South of the Somme river the Ger
mans continued to exert strong pres
sure against the allied line and at one
point they gained a footing in an adj
vanced British position, but were driv-
en- out before they could organize it.
Whether the counter thrusts launch
ed by the British south of the Somme
are the beginning of general count
er offensive is not indicated, but Eu-
ropean military critics state that the
time is rapidly approaching If it is not
already here, when grand counter
movement against the Germans by the
British, French and American troops
may be expected.
The greatest number of aeroplanes
ever constructed are being used by
the allies and the Germans in the bat
tie of Picardy The Anglo-French air
forces maintain their supremacy of
the sky. Advices from the front to-
day said that British and French air
men had brought down between Els
and 220 German machines In four
days. Only 81 British machines were
missing after the battles
1t is believed that the climax of
the great Picardy battle has about
been reached although the opinion is
advanced in some quarters that the
Germans may have voluntarily relax
ed their efforts in order to move UP
their heavy artillery towards the front
before launching their grand assaults.
If the German drive has definitely
been halted and they are thrown upon
the defensive by counter blows of the
allies, the ground gained would be out
of all proportions to the stupendous
losses sustained by the Teutons.
1t would be success achieved at
cost of defeat
The French lines are standing like
Gibraltar under the blows of the Ger
man hordes.
The statement of the French war Of
flee that their line now extends north
of Lassigny indicated that they have
again extended that portion of the
British battle front which they took
over last week.
Lassigny is about six miles north
west of Noyon on the Roye-Compiegne
road

Stocks Go Up and
Then Drop Back Again

NEW YORK, March 2S.-There was
a vigorous demand at the opening of
the stock market today with great
deal of outside buying being induced
by the better character of the war
news over night but the advances
were not maintained and before the
end of the first fifteen minutes reac-
tions were in order.
The reaction which started shortly
after the opening continued for the
best part of the first hour when losses
of around l point were sustained in
many issues. Later in the forenoon,
however, the market turned strong
with recoveries which carried prices
of some stocks above the opening
level.
CHICAGO, March 2S.-The oats
market opened dull today but had
firm tone. Prices averaged slightly
higher than at yesterdays close on
scattered buying and light offerings.
The trade is mainly of local charac-
ter. Corn opened firm to an eighth
lower. Provisions were easier. The
feature being the selling of lard and
ribs by local traders. The buying
support has been rather poor.
