to be faced with another crisis, but time
is on our side. The enemy is getting
further from his position heads and the
men behind the line are becoming more
congested. The supplies for him are
wearing down. Thus far the Germans
have kept their troops in echelon, throw

as fast as the front line Is exhausted.
Meanwhile, the men carry full equipment
and exist on iron rations. This process
of handling troops is now growing diff

Erches and L'Echelle-St. Aurin.
During the night continued Gen

For the time being the enemy is def

The fighting in this district has been
very severe and the enemy troops are
exhausted.

night declares that in these operations
heavy casualties have been inflicted on
the enemy.
The text of the statement reads:
The battle was renewed this morning
with great violence south and north of
the Somme. Intense fighting has taken
place during the day from south of Ros-
ieres to north of Ablainville (Ablainze-
ville).
IAN unsuccessful attempt made by the
enemy last night to drive in our line
south of the Somme was followed this
morning by series of heavy attacks in
the neighborhood of Rosieres and to the
south of that place. At Rosieres all the
enemy's assaults have been beaten off by
our troops. who inflicted heavy casualties
on the enemy.
Further north our line was maintained
through the earlier part of the day in
spite of great pressure from large hostile
forces.
Later in the day fresh German at
tack developed in this area with the re-
suit that our line was taken back a
short distance to the west. Later re-
ports show that our counter attacks
have again completely restored the situa-
ton.
During the day the enemy made

Zone remarkable feature of the
whole battle has been the work of the
allied airmen," said General Maui
rice. "Last night we dropped 221s
tons of bombs on enemy reserves
around Peronne and Bapaume.
During the day low-flying machinesop-
Grated constantly and almost without in
reference on the part of the enemy from
the air. With their machine guns they
inflicted heavy losses on the enemy and
constantly interfered with his prepara-
tions.
THE opposing forces on the whole
front are as nearly equal as possible
the general said. The enemy being on
the offensive, gets his reserves on the
scene first. What we require is time to
get up our forces to the right place. Ev-
cry day the enemy is held is tremendous
advantage to us.

Washington, March 27.-The House
tonight registered opposition to the
government loaning money to the
