ANY AND ALL ATTACKS
Increased Artillery Action May In
dicate That New German
Drive Is at Hand.

From Ypres to Rheims the allied
armies await confidently the resump-
tion by the Germans Of the offensive
they began two months ago. Good
weather prevails along the fronts in
Flanders and Picardy, but the enemy
has yet shown no disposition to take
advantage of it.
Lack of fighting spirit in the crack
German divisions it is reported, is
holding back a renewal of the heavy
battles. Most of the frst-class units
were battered severely in the fighting
Of the last two months and require
more rest before they can again take
up active operations.
May Herald New Offensive.
Significance may attach to the re-
ports the official statements are now
carrying of heavy artillery fire in the
sector between Arras and Albert,
which comprises the northerly con-
tinuation of the Somme battle front.
London today thus announces a
considerable increase In the German
artillery fire between Albert and Buc-
quoy, a ten-mile front. covering about
half the distance between Albert and
Arras.
Similarly, the German official state
ment of yesterday reported the Brit
ish guns busy along the entire AL
bert-Arras front. where the German
batteries were subjected to a violent
fire.
1t is along this line that many of
the military observers are qualifiedly
predicting that the expected German
blow will be struck.
What is known as the Arras salient,
which projects from the British lines
between the German salients of the
Somme and the Lys. Is standing in.
the way Of a further German advance
toward the coast or the Franco-Brit-
ish lines of communication. BY cut
ting these lines at important points
the enemy apparently hopes to d.
