The extent of the German withdrawal
north of Albert is not yet clearly de-
fined, and its effects upon the situa-
ton as whole is problematical. Field
Marshal Haig announces the enemy
has left his forward positions at
Beaumont Hamel, Serre, Puisieux-
Au-Mont and Bucquoy. These are in
the Hebuterne sector, where the Ger
mans were stopped in the offensive
of March 21.
Four weeks ago today Marshal
Foch took the initiative on the west
ern side of the Marne salient and a
week ago the French and British hit
the German lines east and south of
Amiens. In the four weeks the Al
lies have reclaimed nearly 10000
square miles of territory, improved
their positions to the detriment Of
the enemy, freed the important rail-
ways running east and north from
Paris and unofficially have captured
$4,000 prisoners and 1900 guns.
These are the physical gains, the flu
ture holds the other.

Roye, the central bastion of the
German defense line from Peronne
to Noyon, which has withstood Allied
thrusts for nearly a week, is menaced
seriously by advancing French, Brit
ish and Canadian troops, and its fall
would appear to be probability Of
the next few hours.
With the town in Allied hands, the
southern end of the German line at
least, undoubtedly would have to re-
tire, although the northern end thru
Chaulnes and Peronne also would be
affected. The allies are now but a

of the town, while they are pressing

MICHIGAN WILL

Wolverines Come tuesday to
Battle With Gold
and Blue.
BY Chas. w. Call.

Fifteen times did the Notre Dame
batsmen batter out safe hits AGAINST
three Wisconsin pitchers at Madi-
son Saturday. for a total of 10 runs
All the time Murray and Lavery,
the Notre Dame twirlers were tax
ing things easy with the Badger
hitters and held them to two runs
IL was the second victory over Wis
consin during the week. and the
third straight win for the Gold and
Blue.
Coach Harper's men returned to
Notre Dame Sunday and ne will
have them out on Cartier field to-
day for their only workout between
the Wisconsin faso and the game
with Michigan on Tuesday The
Wolverines have been moving along
at a fast clip, and they have trio
of cleanup hitters that they de-
pend upon for lot of runs against
every team they meet
After the Wisconsin game had
been cinhed, Coach Harper sent
Lavery into the box TO relieve Muir
ray. the sensational southpaw who
had tanned the Badgers twice in
six days, that he might be saved for
the Michigan game tomorrow. Muir
ray has improved wonderfully since
his debut as a varsity pitcher a year
ago, and ne has won his two games
this season with ridiculous ease.
Confidence is his chief stock in
trade aside from a trusty left arm
that seems 10 improve every game
It is used. Murray is young and
big, and Coach Harper figures that
the more he is worked the better
will he act. He has the strength
and the will TO work often.
If the Notre Dame batsmen have
their eyes working even half as
well as they did against the best
pitchers Wisconsin could produce
the Wolverines are i'm for a good
beating Michigan is reTorted to
be a smuggling aggregation this year.
and il will be the first real test of
