NOTABLE SLOWING UP I'M THE
TEuToN ATTACK AND STIFF

Defeated at Arras, Where They Hoped
to Break Through, Germans Have
Turned Their Attention to
British at Amiens.

L0ndon.-When Friday night came
Arras was still safe to the allies, but
Amiens was in peril. The British line
to the east of it had been bent back,
but was still intact.
i The critical hour of the Picardy bat
tie is at hand. The Germans cannot
| stop their assault until they have
either brought their flanks, and espe-
/ ciaIIy the left, to level with their
center, or until either flank is turned
| and they have to withdraw their CEN
ter out of the forty-mile wedge

the British outer defense zone, which
they pierced. In the British battle

Pound at Amiens.
Defeated at Arras, where break
through would have spelled lncalcula-
BILE disaster, the Germans during the
greater part of Friday again turned
their chief attention TO the British
army protecting Amiens Though fail
ing to break through, they pressed the
British back beyond the Hamel-Mar-
Demun line. This places the
Germans less than ten miles due east
and about eleven and one-half miles
southwest of Amiens.
Between this line and the Mont
didier front the French and British |
forces have blocked all German at. |
tempts at breaking through. S
On the German flank, roughly be-
tween Montdidier and Noyon, and fur
Their southeastward along the Disc as
far as the st. Gobain forest there were
no large scale German assaults on
Friday. Against local thrusts the
French fully held their own.
Fresh reserves are being brought up |
BY the Germans without pause. The
Picardy battle depends now upon Brit
Ssh resistance east of Amiens and
French resistance and possibly a
trench counter offensive between
hontdld1er and Noy0n.

The weather has turned bad. Rains
are turning the battlefield into a

The Germans, however, appear to have
developed new system of bringing up |
their artillery with unprecedented rap

EFFORT TO SPLIT ALLIES FAILS
Anglo-French Line in Strong Positions
in Spite of Desperate CHARGE.


IN Spite of Desperate Charge.
With the Army in France. The Ger
man effort by terrific rush to get
between the French and British forces,
with the object of defeating each sep
arately, has failed up to the present
time, and is likely to continue to fail.
The fighting qualities of the allied sol
diers have served to stay the impulsiye
advance, and today the Anglo-French
line is on strong positions.
The next few days may change the
situation entirely, as the allies have
had time to get their maneuvering
reserve to take the initiative. Noyon
was evacuated late Wednesday night
in good order, and the French took
up a position nearby.
