PARIS. April 1.-New enemy attacks against Grivesnes have all been re- pulsed, according to the war office an nouncement tonight. The Anglo French troops have made appreciable progress at various points between the Somme and Demuin.
 The text of the statement reads:

 WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE, April 1. (By the Asso- ciated Press)-Comparative calm reianed this morning between the southern flank of the battle front and Montdidier. Heavy German forces, however, were thrown against tho village of Grivesnes, about half way between Mondidier and Moreuii, evidently with the in tention of forcing a passage toward the railroad running into Amiens from the south.
 All efforts by the enemy were in vain. The French troops held firm, long and constantly renewed struggle in the outskirts and streets of the village, where the soldiers came to closest grips with bayonets and hand grensdes. At noon the village was still in the hands of the French, the Germans having been repulsed on several occasions with the heaviest losses.
 Still further northward the Brit ish and French fought shoulder to shoulder in the vicinity of Han garden -Santerre, preventing dense columns of the enemy from gain ing ground and later recapturing some positions with a number of prisoners.
 Wherever the allies regain terri tory they find heaps of German dead which the invaders had no time to bury. They appear to have suffered terrible losses from the fire of French field guns. The Ger mans, themselves had hitherto been short of artillery but more guns were brought up today.

 OTTAWA, April 1.-Reuter's correspondent at British headquar- ters in France telesraphing this evening says:
 "The enemy movements and fighting of the last 24 hours in dicate the development of an at tempt to work toward Amiens, down to Ancre valley and also from the southwest. Great masses of troops continue to concentrate in the reigion of Albert and fighting is progressing toward villers, Bret ton and Reux. The enemy is find ing serious difficulties in trans port work, owing to the ceaseless destructive activity of our airmen, and also owing to shortage of ani- mals, and is bring up his artillery comparatively slowly. Meanwhile he is largely employing trench mortars.
 Australian troops now are ap- bearing in the thick of the fight in9 and doing magnifieently. De- spite the southwardly trend of the battle the greatest weight of enemy divisions remains north of the Somme.
 "A captured document reveals that the enemy expected to reach the Somme the first day of the of- fensive.
 Up to three o'clock this after noon no fresh infantry attacks of importance had been reported against the British although the enemy artillery was very active.
 "The delayed resumption of grand operations is of supreme i'm portance to US. giving opportun- ities continually to strengthen the weakest spots and improve the de- fense works"

Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

LONDON, April 1.-An official an- nouncement issued here tonight says:
 As a result of communications which have passed between the prime minister and President Wilson; of de- Alterations between Secretary Baker, who visited London a few days ago, and the prime minister, MT. Balfour and Lord Derby, and consultations in France, in which General Pershing and General Bliss participated, import ant decisions have been reached py which large forces of trained men in the American army can be brought to the assistance of the allies in the pres ent struggle.
 Mix With Other Brigades
 The government of our great west ern ally is not only sending large num- bers of American battalions to Europe during the coming critical months, but has agreed to such of it's regiments as cannot be used in divisions of their own Icing brigaded with French and British units So long as the necessity lasts.
 Fight While Training
 By this means troops not yet suf- ficiently trained to fight as divisions and army corps will form part of sea- soned divisions until such time as they have completed their training and General Pershing wishes to withdraw them in order to build up the Amer lcan army.
 Arrange Transportation
 Arrangements for the transporta- tion of these additional forces are now being completed.
 Throughout these discussions Presi- dent Wilson has shown greatest anxi- ety to do everything possible to assist the allies and has left nothing undone which could contribute thereto.
 English will Recruit
 This decision, however, of vital i'm portanee as it will be to the mainten ance of the allied strength in the next few months, will in no way diminish the need for those further measures for raising fresh troops at home, to | which reference already has been made Ii is announced at once because the prime minister feels that the singleness of purpose with which the United States have made this immediate and indeed, indispensable contribution to- ward the triumph of the allied cause should be clearly recognized by the British people,

SITUATION IS IMPROVING

A report from General Pershine to the war department states that the situation along the battle line is i'm proved. He did not give any informa- ton regarding the movement of his troops.
 It is thought improbable that the German general staff will be content with the situation as it stands today. Many believe that there is in prepara- tion another giant blow at Italy. Of- ficial reports from Rome say there has been considerable activity on the Asiago plateau and along the Piave river and that in Albania, on the east ern shore of the Adriatic, the Austrians have been repulsed after an attack or a position held by the Italians.
 MAY CUT PENINSULA
 British troops in Mesopotamia have added a new success to their record. They have progressed to a point mid way between Bagdad and Aleppo. if the British can reach AIeppo and there join forces with General Alenby's ar my, which has been fighting it's way northward through Palestine, they would be able to cut off the whole Arabian peninsula from the Turks and be in position to meet any Turkish attacks, the troops of the sultan which are at present operating in the south ern Iittoral of the Black sea.
 CELTIC HIT BY TORPEDO
 The White Star liner Celtic has been struck by torpedo while on her way from Europe to America. 1t is not believed she had many Americans on board.
 Russia and Rumania have negotiated treaty of peace by which Rumanis will evacuate any occupied portions of Bessarabia and also strategic territory near the mouth of the Danube. Ger many has sent a protest to Petroqrad against the sending of BoIshevik troops into Finland, and threatening that if more are sent there she will take steps under the provisions of the Brest- Lit ovsk treaty. lrkutsk is reported to have obtained arms and have been or- ganized by former officers

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE, April 1.-SmiIing skies and ideal fighting weather had up till noon failed to draw the Germans out for further fighting in their grand offensive against the British front. Little fighting of importance had been reported north of the Somme, while below that river in the vital section of Moreuil the situation appeared much the same as last night. The prob- abilities are that the enemy was not ready for another big attack north of the Somme although the fact that he still has the majority of his available divisions there presages further activity and it may come at any time.
 There are at present something like forty divisions in the battle zone north of the river, and about 37 engaged in the struggle further south. Ten of these have been used against the British and the rest against the French allies. The German guns are not all brought forward as yet and the enemy gun fire has been comparatively lioht along the zone of advance.

WASHINGTON. April 1.-ln the ab- sence ofreports from General Pershing showing the disposition made of Amer jean troops by General Foch. supreme commander of the allied and American armies, officials here were watching the French and British statements closely tonight for the first word that will show the Americans to be at the battle front in Picardy.
 Report Much Delayed
 Reports from both Generals Persh- ing and Bliss on the progress of the great battle are much delayed. Mes sages tonight told of the situation on Saturday and Sunday. At that time, General Pershing saw considerable i'm provement in conditions for the allied armies and the battle line in the vital sector from Montdidier to Noyon as he outlined it, has been substantially altered by subsequent engagements. Both sides were digging in, lie said North of Montdidied the situation was less clear.
 Find Hope in Report Officials were particularly interested in French official reports that the Ger mans were digging in along a part oi this hard fought line at the apex oi l their offensive wedge That would in 1 dicate an admission that they do not now anticipate being able to brust | through between the French and Brit ish armies as they set out to do. l General Pershings dispatch tonight i indicated that the battle line up to the evening of March 31, south of the Som- me was as follows:
