Battle Raging
NolU TO Decide
Fate of An7iens
Continued from page l

battle is sure to increase in intensity
over the week end.
Field Marshal Haig pays a tribute to-
day to the work of the British cavalry,
which finally had the opportunity, after
years of waiting, to prove it's mettle.
The most encouraging news comes from
the Arras sector, where the Germans
paid their greatest price of the whole
titanic struggle for the smallest tacti-
cal return. Not only do the British
hold this key city, but they still dom
mate the whole ridge from Vimy right
down to Albert.
There is no weakening of the con-
fdence i'll high quarters, though it is
frankly admitted that the next few
days will be highly critical. 1t is be-
leved that Amiels will be successfully
covered, but not without the most des-
perate fighting. If the Germans arc
checked here the worst will be over
and the Allies can breathe easier.
1t may be that hereafter one com
munique covering both the British
and French armies will be issued. At
present the forces are intermingled so
that it IS almost impossible to tell
whether the British or French are de-
Tending any particular point below the
Sommc.
The third and probably the greatest
crisis Is rapidly approaching, for
strategic questions of the utmost i'm
portance must be decided soon. The
Germans apparently are about ready to
launch major attack on Amiens.
winch is already within range of their
big guns and has suffered heavily from

the enemy's air bombardment It is
natural to expect that this will prove
the psychological moment when the Al
lies will throw in their reserves, who
are power rful and numerous enough not
only to ward off the German spear head
but to break it's haft. If the Allies
catch the enemy off his balance the
odds might turn strongly in their favor.
Ludendortf's claim Of prisoners. even
prisingly high for battle which has
reached the gigantic proportions of this
one. The British suffered heavily, but
the British casualties are far below
those of the enemy, which conservative
estimates place at 250,000.
AS the crucla. moment of the battle
approaches there is no question but
that the belligercnts are preparing to
throw every availables man into the
fray. 1t comes to the question of which
side has the greater reserves, and the
though the margin is certainly not
enough 20 cause overconfdencc.
Two Crises Passed
The first real crisis of the battle
upon which the Kaiser staked his dy-
TASTY because he feared to awai- the
time whcn American reinforcements
would arrive IN Europe and doubted
the ability of he submarine to decide
the war. came & week ago, when the
British line broke at Tortile. The sec
0nd came last Monday at Courcellette.
when again the Germans penetrated
cur deferces. Only coolheaded lead
ership. together with magnificent gal
lantry and heltism and sacrifice, saved
the Allied cause
The kaleidoscope changes battle de-
scription, and only few of the high
spots are seen even by the keenest OBJ
servers. Since the days of Mons and
the Marnc the Allies have suffered
through lack Of coordination. Though
much was written and spoken about
close cooperation, it existed, unfortu-
nately, more in theory than in practice
The force of events finally has driven
the Allies together, just as it welded
the warning factions at home. Even
to-day weak protests are heard, but

London Press, OF, Tenth Day of
Battle Shows Greafer Confidence

LONDON, March 3O.-Although the
London newspapers regard the stua-
tion on the Western front as still seri-
GUS there is noticeable a tone of great
er confidence in their discussion of the
battle, now in its tenth dav "The
Daily Mali devotes particular attcn-
ton to the fighting in the direction Of
Amcns. which it regards as the most
important. "Thc Daily Mail" says:
"Until Montdidier is recovered and
the Germans are beaten back from re-
cent positions east of Amens the situ-
alton must remain serious. French re-
serves continuously are arriving and
entering the battle. but as yet the Ger
man advance cannot be said to have
been stopped"
"Thc Daily Graphic" believes that
to-day's news is distinctly encourage

"Thc week ends fairy well. 1t has

be renewed, perhaps with greater
ferocity than before.

At one point the attacking troops
were held up by machine gun FIRE, but
other forces pressed on doggedly. The
Germans, however, opposed with too
great strength and were too we'll pro-
tected, and the British We're forced to
abandon the effort after a hard
struggle, during which twenty-five Ger
mans were taken prisoner in hand-to-
hand fighting. The loss of these posi-
tions does not alter the situation ma
terially, and the British hold on the
Luce Valley is considered satisfactory.

There are other instances even more

the posts to withdraw after brief

There has been another display of

Iicassuring Factors
Ailuding TO what it considers reas

"Fhe Times says editorially:
"The whole front of the German at

British army that we naturally arc pre-
occupied hero With the indomtablc re-
sistance displayed by our own regiments.
But the British army fortunately does
not stand alone. More and moro. as
the great battle develops, the burden
is being shared with us by the French
forces which are closing in upon tho
