(Written for the United Press.b
NEW YORK, March 30.-As far IS
can be foreseen, the combat in the
west has definitely turned in favor OF
the Allies with the Germanss begin

Even if the Allies do not develop a

1t was this same problem that COM

they had a somewhat lengthy front

Won Hindenburg in an even more seri>

HUNS DIGGING
IN now; THEIR
ADVANCE ENDS
ALLIES ARE OPPOSING THEM DES-
LIEVED THAT THE CRISIS HAS
PERATELY AT EVERY STEP-BE-
BEEN PASSED.

PARIS, March 30-The battle which
was resumed with renewed violence
during last night is progressing on a
front of forty kilometres (about rs
m:les) from Moreuil to beyond Lass
igny.
French troops supported by reserves
are Offering desperate resistance to
powerful assaults of the enemy, and
the first intimation that the Germans
themselves consider the drive definite
ly stopped is shown in their digging
in" at various points along the new
battle line.
The situation today from the Entente
viewpoint is more satisfactory, al
though the Germans attacking yester-
day at Demuin and Mezieres pressed
back the British from Mezieres, the
war office announces.
Along the British section of the bat
tlefront last night was comparative
ly quiet.
That sector of the long battle front
lying south of the river Somme con-
tinued today to be the crucial zone OF
conflict. The Germans, following up
their small gains of yesterday in their
northwestward drive trEard Amiens
were pressing the attach gorously.
They met the most stinate res
sistance on the part ofe he British de-
tenders, however, and latest reports
state that there has been little change
in the situation since last night, des-
pite hard fighting.
On the extreme north the enemy had
Cesisted for the moment from their as
sault against Arras, but there are ind1-
cations that they are only waiting for
fresh troops before renewing their
drive.
The German attempt to force the
British back along the Scarpe and cap
ture Arras cost them an enormous
price in casualties, although they used
ten divisions. North of the river the
British held to their positions and
wavered but slightly before the enemy
on slaught. South of the river, how
ever, the British retired slightly be-
tween Fampoux and Boisleux.
There was hard fighting on both
sides of the Scarpe. To the north the
most desperate conflict was staged
about Roeux The Germans succeeded
in forcing the British to withdraw
fra~a this place North of Gavrelle
the enemy tried to push the British
back on Bailleul, but were repulsed
yithering machine gun fire. South
81 The river the most bitter fighting
was about Telegraph Hill. which
changed hands several times.
Below the Somme, British artillery
las- been doing marvellous work in get
ing the heavy guns back during the
ithdrawal. One battery of heavies
was cut off and lost for three days.
Although often surrounded the men
worked their way out to the British
lines with all the guns.
On high ground near Albert there
are five machine gunners who are cut
cfI 900 yards in front of their own
infantry, but who are doing great
execution among the enemy. Tanks
also have been going a small but i'm
portant work They have been travel
ir.g in pairs, stemming the advance
