produce last year, the high wages paid
the Salem men who are working in the

By ]. w. T. Mason

(Written for the United Press)
New York, Mar. 27.-(3 p. m. 1.-The
British defenscs Ibefbre Amiens are
holding against new German attacks.
Amiens, highly important for the al
lies as a railway center, is saved it
the future bears out General Maui
rice's prediction of this afternoon that
the Germans north of the Somme have
been definitely checked.
The capture of Albert by the Ger
mans is purely secondary to the saw
ing of Amiens Albert is without strong
natural defenses and its abandonment
by the British means no more than an
intention to strengthen their positions
blocking the road to Amiens.
Everything in the sector south of
Albert and Immediately bordering the
Somme must give way to the prime OBJ
jective of preventing Amiens falling
into Hindenburg s possession.
The French reinforceents mentioned
by General Maurice this afternoon as
rapidly approaching the battle front
are reserves being dispatched from the
French lines south of the Somme to as
sist in the protection Of Amiens This
movement is highly reassuring AMI
doubtless forms the basis of Premier
Clemenceau s optimistic declaration to.

The French premier's prophecy that
within 4S hours the allies will be mas
ters of the situation that does not nee
essarily mean that successful major
counter attacks will then have been OPP
erative 1t does mean, however, that
the German strength for further at
tacks will by then have lost its menac-
ing power. 1t may be some time there
after before the allies counter stroke
is delivered.
At present the battle has become a
race with the reserves. The allies now
apparently know definitely where to
plant their reinforced strength and as
soon as this work is completed, Hin
