Arras Attack
Is Effort to
Divert Allies
Continued from page |

the battlefield since Won Kluck occu-
pied it few days before his defeat
at the Marnc, promises to offer the
Germans many obstacles.
Since Saturday night the enemy has
been working frantically to advance
his artillery, which has failed to keen
pace with the infantry. By his attack
at Arras he hopes to divert the Allied
reserves from the main front and also
to gain time in which to bring un his
guns.
Ludendorfr's tactics are similar to
those of Grant before Richmond. It
is the first time on the West front
that this system has been tried, simply
because hitherto no commander mas
had such colossal forces with which to
gamble. 1t is another proof that the
Kaiser is making his final effort of
the war.
There is reason to believe that the
Germans will also attack in the Rheims
sector Not less than one hundred di
visions, or half Of the German army
IN the west, are either on or near the
battlefront
The original attacking forces hava
been about doubled. and the enemv,s
casualties have been greater than in
any battle Of the war.
This is purely the Kaiscr's battle.
Ihere are a quarter of million Aus
trlans IN France. but these are hold
ing quiet sector Of the front.
Though a high wind and a drivinp
ram "a IS sweeping over the fields Of
flcardy, not even the aviators have
been stopped by the clements in their
desperate battle. A change in the

army corps rehearsing the parts
they were to play when the moment
came. Just before the assault the
British lines were deluged with
shells for a short period and with
projectiles charged with noxious
gases. Then came thick waves Of
infantry, closely following one after
another. The first waves, or what
remained of them. reached their OBJ
jectives and held on until further
waves came along and cleaned up
the islets Of British, who were hold
ing out obstinately, using for that
purpose Jets of liquid fame.
Reinforcements Joined the Ger
mans, and from the captured first
British line murderous fire with
rifles, machine guns and automatics
was opened on the rear lines of the
British at distances up to two
thousand yards. This rain of death
was SO deadly as to overpower the
British reserves, who could not see
whence it came and were unable
owing to its severity to advance
to the assistance of their comrades
in the first line.
Under cover Of this hail of bul-
lets the German waves of infantry
made their way into the second
British line, the Germans lay down
when they had advanced for some
distance, and allowed still other
waves to pass through the intervals.
simultaneously large numbers OF
small cannon and three-inch guns
mounted on low carriages, for quick
movement and low visibility, were
brought up close behind the advanc-
ing infantry.
The tenacious resistance of the
British at many points of the line
caused the Germans to bring into
action all of their Immediately avail
able reserves, and also to bring up
other divisions from the quieter
parts Of the front. Approximately
seventy divisions have been definite
ly recognized as having been en-
ga~ed in the battle, all Of which sut-
fered very severe losses.

man movement is il. the direction Of

their principal attack against the
British front. At the same time
they made n demonstration just
where the two armies, French and
British, join.
The Germans succeeded in max

which the French forces closed, first
sending cavalry to fill the gap. The

Downed by the Allies
During Great Attack

LONDON, March 28.--The continu-
ance of fierce air fighting in the battle
area is shown by the report of the
aerial operations issued tonight. which
says that on Wednesday twentv-four
German machines were brought down
in air fighting and seven were driven
down out of control. Nineteen British
machines are missing.
Inc text OF the statement reads:
-, Low lying was again carried out
Wednesday by large bodies of our air
planes, while our infantry machines
continued their work of reporting the
position Of our battle line. Over thirty
tons of bombs were dropped and a
quarter Of million rounds of ammu-
n!tlon were fired from a height that
ensured accuracy on different targets.
Severe casualties are known to have
been inflicted on the enemy, and the
bringing up of his troops and ammuni-
tlon was delayed.
"Twenty-four German machines we're
brought down in the air fighting and
seven were driven out of control Two
hostile observation balloons also were
destroyed. Nineteen of our machines
at present are missing.'

LONDON, March 28.-To-night's re-
ports from the front were of check
cred character. While the British sus-
tained couple of setbacks, the most
encouraging news comes from sectors
on the French front, where the ad-
vance was most threatening.
The French, having brought up re-
serves, have been able on their hither-
to yielding line between Hainvilers
south of Montdier, Port-Lieveque and
south of Noyon by fine counter at
tack, TO drive the enemy back a dis
tance Of three kilometres on front
Of ten Kilometres
Coupled with this hopeful news come
reports Of a sinking barometer and a
threat of snow, which would seriously
hamper German operations, although
also bad for the British air service,

conducting operations in the direc-
ton of Sally Laurette and Proyart.
All along the British front there
is heavy fighting. The assault oppo-
site Arras was preceded by heavy
enemy bombardment, which began

directed their infantry drives tow

Orange Hill and Telegraph Hill.
near Arras, both of which elevations
we're the scene OF desperate engage
ments during the Battle of Arras
The fighting on Telegraph Hill
just below the Scarpe was particu-
larly bitter, and at latest reports
this hill was covered with swirlinS
masses of British and Germans bat
ting at close quarters.
The fighting yesterday in the
north centred about Boisleux St.
Mare, Ayette, Courcelles and
Ablainzevelle. Here the Germans
made & succession of heavy assaults
for the purpose of OBJ b&ning high
ground, but in each ca the attack
ing infantry either came against Il
stone-wall defence or was immedi-
ately thrown out by vigorous coun-
ter attacks.
Foe Bringing Up Guns
At least six attacks were deliv-
cred during the day by the Germans,
and the engagements here resulted
in virtually no change in the situa-
ton. The enemy lost heavily in
men. The Germans are still rushing
up artillery for a continuance of the
battle, but in some sections the guns
are coming forward somewhat slow
ly. Prisoners say that food supplies
also are coming up badly, because
of the lengthening Of commdnica-
tions.
Certainly no small part of the
German difficulty in getting guns,
troops and supplies forward has
been due to the marvellous work of
the British airmen. Since the in
cepton of the battle the British avi-
ators have waged such intense war
fare over the enemy territory tha.
the Germans have been forced to
abandon some of the highways and
employ rounds bout routes. A strik-
ing example of this is the Albert
Bapaume road, which is one of the
main arteries and which the Ger
mans are compelled to avoid.
The British pilots have been
bombing and cunning their way
over the Somme battle-ground con-
tinually. and very heavy casualties
have been inflicted on the German
infantry, cavalry and transport by
these intrepid low-fying fighters.
The battles in the air have been in.
Vulnerable, and in these the British
airmen have maintained the upper
hand throughout.
