The Germans possess two kinds of
tanks, the first Of which is small and
swift. The other is a formidable land
cruiser.
French Tanks Successful.
The French tanks already had taken
q brilliant part in the fighting some
days ago when they drove the Germans
from Senecat wood westward from
two tank commanders who performed
deeds of heroism have Just been re-
warded with honors.
Lieut. Domerc, commanding a squad
Of tanks, while advancing saw one Of
his chariots of assault suddenly halt.
An investigation showed that the entire
crew was disabled. The lieutenant, with
one Of his own men as a gunner. mounted
the tank under heavy fire and set 1t in
motion and reached Castel. attacking on
large groups Of Germans. putting many
of them out of action. Eventually they
returned safely to the French line.
Sergt. Mouren. commanding another
tank. noticing a German field battery
retreating, followed 1t to attack the
German lines when his motor refused
to work. The sergeant dismounted with
his crew under hurricane of rife fire
and detached the machine guns, with
which he repulsed large force Of Ger
mans who attempted to approach. firing
until the last reel Of cartridges was
spent. The entire crew, except the SER
geant, was wounded. but the sergeant
gathered the injured men together and
they made their way through thickets
to the French position.

A general idea Of this resumed German
offensive demonstrates that the enemy
plan was to thrust at the junction Of the
French and British armies protecting
Amiens with an intention Of separating
them. During the course Of Tuesday
night the Germans opened an artillery
preparation Of extreme intensity, having
taken advantage of the respite in the
fighting to bring forward many guns. At
started a counter bombardment. Shortly
afterward the German infantry unsuc-
cessfully attacked the line north Of VIII
lers-Bretonneux.
At the same time the French poured q
barrage fire on the Germans advancing
toward NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. The flercest
fighting ensued throughout Wednesday
and Wednesday night, and as the result
the enemy captured Villers- Bretonneux,
except a few houses in the outskirts. The
enemy then got within 500 yards of the
eastern limits Of Cachy and occupied Han.
gard wood, while in Hangard itself they
gained the cemetery and even surrounded
the village, but the French would not
give up.
simultaneously the Germans made some
progress toward Hailles During We'd
nesday night the British firmly held their
positions Immediately around Villers-B re-
tonneux and regained some ground. Large
German forces were thrown against Ham
gard and the village changed hands on
several occasions. finally remaining in the
possession of the Germans this morning.
The hold Of the French on Hangard had
become extremely difficult after the fall
of Villers- Bretonneux, but they MAIN
taIned their desperate defense for a long
time in hope that the latter village would
be captured. Such Is the actual posi-
ton as this dispatch is written.
