Time Has Come for Greatest
Effort Under F0ch'S
Z Plan.
ALLIES HITTING HUNS
WITHOUT RELAXATION
General Discourages ANY Sugges-
ton That Wars End Is
at Hand.

The Franco British drive in Picardy
has put the enemy again in bad posi-
ton, similar to the pocket which closed
nm on him on the Aisne Marine front
Gen. March said today in his weekly
conference with newspaper CORE
spondents.
Marshal Foch is following the sound
military principle Of hitting without
relaxation, said tho general and he
added:
when you get the enemy going.
keep him going"
Time for Greatest Effort.
The whole battle line from Rheims
to Flanders is being Strengthened out
and the time has come for the greatest
effort. Gen. March said.
Although the British war ONCE has
announced it, Gen. March said, he had
no official information that American
troops are participating in the drive
in P1CafQy, WHICH d1TSduy mas cudpiSu
the allied forces to bring the enemy's
main line of communication under gun
fire.
The greatest advantage to the allies
/ is that they have taken the offensive
and can keep the enemy guessing in
stead of guessing themselves. Gen.
March said, but he emphasized that
any suggestion that the end Of the
war is at hand should be discouraged.
The time has come, however. he said,
20 keep the enemy runpins and hit
The Importance Of the allied advance
on Chaulnes, a junction on the only
to withdraw from the depths OF his
Picardy position, was pointed out
Pressure against this point is placing
the Germans in a. difficult situation.
Gen. March said French and American
troops had been "nippling" along that
line. but had made no attempt as yet
to advance up the slopes north Of the
river where the German lines OF chief
resistance are supposed tostand
fighting on the Vesle front had been
promptly met by Gen. Foch, he added,
by the blow in Picardy, where events
Of the Marne battle seem likely to be
duplicated.
No Room for Prisoners.
The chief of staff read confidential
report showing that the British had
taken in the first days of the drive
more prisoners than they could han
die in their prison camps, and also
had captured all enemy artillery in
their immediate front. The report
added that a German general and his
staff had been captured.
The Germans, Gen. March told his
linterviewers, were taken completely
by surprise and offered no essential
resistance in the center OF the line at
which the joint. forces under Field
Marshal Haig struck. Their greatest
resistance was on the north, where
they lrecaptured portion of the
ground by a-vigorous counter attack.
Theterrain over which this fighting
is proceeding, the general said, lends
itself to an advance particularly be-
cause all the river valleys stand per-
pendicular to the allied lines and dc
not parallel it, Offering a chance OF
resistance. As it is. the allies ad-
vanced directly up these valleys
through a country that is almost
wholly fiat, and even the small patches

that there is no reason to believe 1t
is true that the British at Archangel
shot representatives Of the soviet. and
adds:
There was some shooting before
Archangel incidental to the landing
operations. but this could only have
been in reply to shots fired at our
forces by the bolshevik forces. The
arrest of Lockhart is. of course, an
act of hostility in international law

possibly a reprisal for our landing at
