Washington Scans Reports to Gain Signs of German Pur- pose; Pegshing's Report Tells Nothing.
rBv Review I.sased Wirel

W NAoAii-NO ONs AlAg -t. tftA lilditN ' apparently has launched another des. peTate attempt to smash ner way through the allied armies to victory before American troops can reach the battle fields Of France and Flanders iI force.
 Associated Press reports from the British and French fronts telling oi the new assaults which may mean that the supreme test of power is at hand were conveyed to President VII. son just as he was leaving the White House for the capitol to ask congress for legislation to provide more money for the war.
 Later MT. Wilson went to the state. war and navy buildings for brief con- ferences with secretaries Lansing, Baker and Daniels. It was taken for granted that the primary object of the visits was to seek official new from the battle front. and. while there were reports that the president dis cussed other phases of the world situ- ation with the department heads. they were not given confirmation in official circles.
 No New information
 No official information had come to night suplementing press dispatches from the front. General PershiAS $ daily cOmmunique made no reference to the strong drives aganist the TTit- ish and French. as the communiiue deals only with the activity of Che American army.
 Army officials studied the press ar- counts closely for signs of the Ger man purpose. The fact that one blow was launched at the southern end of the Picardy and Flanders battle the str. and the other an almost the eX- treme north end of the 200 mile pat tie front was taken as direct evidence that tOday's attacks were only prellm- mary moves in the German strasetic designs
 Extension of the active battle front to the Aisne sector on the south would mean adding 40 or 50 miles to the fighting line at a time when the Gev- man army needs every unit it can get together in centralized positions within the wide salient driven into the allies lines by the first rush.
 Albert Sector in Danger
 Officials here agree with French critics that the most probable place for the real renewal drive to develop would be in the Albert sector of tie Amiens front. An advance there would menace both Paris and the channel ports. Many officers believe extension of the offensive to the AiSne theater was merely feint preparatory to a later attack in the Albert region or near Amiens. the points of maxi mum penetration and where American units now block the road with their British and French comrades.
 IL was pointed out that the long sweep of the French line from Mont didier southeast to PinOn. the north ern flank os the new German thrust. has constituted a great menace to the whole German positions in the Picardy sector
 Some officers thought the real pur- pose of the Germans was to crush in that French line by breaking through behind it and forcing a withdrawal Others contended that the new blow was struck directly at Paris and the lOns range gun brought into action against that city again in order to

ALLIED FORCES
 HUN TIDE BACK FIERCE DRIVES
French Recapture Trenches on Locre-Voormezeele Sector; Larger Operations Loom in Won Hindenburg Attack.

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE. May 27. D. m (By the As sociated Press) ).-Lamching a heavy offensive at dawn today against the Branch into Loere-voOrmezeeIe sector. the Germans failed of their objectives at virtually all paints. At some points the defending patrols were driven in. but in vigorous attacks threw the Ger. mans back at most places. Virtually the entire French line was re-estab- lished.
 Hard fighting at this hour still con tinues Cn the northern part of the bat tie front. Just south of Dickenbusch Lake. the Germans forced their way into the French line for a distance or the SO9 yards and also got into the front line system at another point in this regiOfn. In both these places the enemy was clinging desperately to his newly acquired positions but the French were dealing with the situa- .tiOn which appeared to he satisfactory lat the latest reports One hundred prisoners already have been sent hack to the French cages.
 Preliminary Attack
 Today's attack was perhaps prelin- mary to large operations and apparent VI has been undertaken for the BIT pose of regaining the high ground from which the French were busted by the enemy on May 20
 Von Hindenburg's troops thus far have net with failure virtually at an points il their attack against the French ir the LOcre sector.
 In the early stages the enemy sue ceeded in driving in the defending p0- sitiOns at some points. bur counter at- tacks threw the Germans almost back of these places and the French virtu- ally re-eStablished their entire line.
 Such positions as BrIlOOse would be valuable acquisitions for the enemy lf they were to develop a general attack in this region later.
 It is interesting to note in cOnnec- ton with tOday's drive in Flanders that the Germans considered their attacks on the Lys front in April to be a fail ure was the result of bad staff work. The general in command of operation here was relieved of his command.

trained wsitresses were as scarce as the

occupations are open TO women at pres

desirable. he said. because the average

ward and poor service. Nearly all the
