BUSY SUNDAY

With the American Army in France,
March 2.-tBy the Associated Press).-A
prisoner taken in the American sector
said. when questioned today, that no
offensive was planned b. the Germans
in this sector.
"All we want is to be left alone" he
declared.
Every man on the American front is
anxiously awaiting news regarding the
German offensive and momentarily ex-
pecting TO hear that the British have
won victory.
The American snipers have been ex-
ceedingly active during the day. They
picked off considerable number OF the
enemy, some of whom were seen to
whirl and pitch from the parapet into
their own trenches. Others were eeen
to drop N their tracks as the American
|sharpehooters' bullets hit them.

|MASTERLY
WITHDRAWAL
WAS PLANNED
In Event of Attack of
the Geknans in
Great Force
ANNOUNCEMENT
is FROM FRONT

lade Possible by Gallant SnOc
Troops in the Front Lines
Who Checked Advance of tn
Germans
The withdrawal Of the Brit
ish forces along the battle front
in France was long ago planned
in the event Of the Germans at.
lacking in great force. This
announcement comes from the
British front through The As
ISOLATED Press correspondent,
who describes the operation Of
the British army as a mastery
withdrawal, made possible by
gallant shock troops in the
front lines, who checked the ad-
vance of the Germans, while ar
tiIlery. machine gun and rifle
fire worked appalling slaughter
among the masses Of German
infantry as they were sent for
ward, thus enabling the main
body Of the British to fall back
deliberately and without con-
fusion.
This army, it is declared, has
been conserved and up to the
present very few counter at
tacks have been made against
the Germans. Where the Brit
ish have stormed the Germans
newly acquired positions, they
have driven them back. But
each mile Of advance makes the
bringing up Of supplies to the
German artillery and infantry
more and more difficult and un-
questionably the British strate-
qy as demonstrated since the
beginning Of the great attack is
let the enemy SO far as he may
wear himself out against a
powerful defense.
Both British and French for
ces where their lines met south
Of St. Quentin are watching
events with optimistic eyes.
