ABOUT THE WAR. 80

Forty new Austrian divisions have
been distributed along the Italian
front.
The French soldiery of the class Of
1919 are to be called to the colors at
an early date, which is to be fixed by
the Ministry of War.
Official announcement was made
Sunday that the presence on the
Franco-British front of Bulgarian and
Austrian troops had been established.
The entire Turkish force in the Hit
area in Mesopotamia has been cap
tured or destroyed by the British, the
London war office announces. Three
thousand prisoners were taken.
Sunday the British were holding the
whole of their long line with strength.
They had smashed numerous heavy
German attacks at various points and
successfully taken the initiative on
several occasions.
On the southern battle front, the
French have recaptured Ayencourt
and Monchel and gained considerable
ground in the region Of Orvillers, ac-
cording to the official communication
from the Paris war office Sunday.
The battle is slackening, according
to news reaching Paris Sunday night.
less violent and less numerous, and it
has been observed that the enemy is
feverishly digging himself in, particu-
1arly in the neighborhood of Lassigny.
German attacks before Arras failed,
says a Reuters telegram from the
British headquarters from the front on
Friday. The enemy succeeded in ad-
vancing his line south Of the Scarpe
to the ruins Of the old reserve trench
system from which the British eject
ed him year ago.
The American army in France is to
fight shoulder to shoulder with the
British and French troops who are
now engaged in the titanic struggle
with the Germans in Picardy. Gen.
Pershing's entire force of over 100000
men has been given into the hands OF
Gen. Foch, the new generalissimo,
Submarines and mines have in
creased their weekly toll of British
shipping. The admiralty's report
shows that in the week ending March
%, twenty-eight merchantmen were
sunk, sixteen of the vessels being l.
600 tons or over and twelve under that
tonnage. The French lost six ships
and the Italians three steamers and
two sailing vessels.
From the region of the Somme
southwark to where the battle line
turns eastward, furious fighting con-
tinued Sunday on various sectors, but
everywhere the enemy has been held,
and even pushed back at some points.
Nowhere has he been able with his
great masses of men to gain ground,
except an infinitesimal tract from the
French north of Moreuil. The British
and French machine guns and rifle
men again tore great holes in the
ranks of the field gray as they endeav-
ored to pass forward. So great have
been the losses of the Germans in
front of the British north of the
Sonlme that Sunday saw them unwill-
ing again to take up the gage of bat
tie.
