ress Declares
Kaiser Will Win If He Holds
on a Short Time,
They Say

LONDON, March 23.-The Central
News says all sorts of details concern
ing the Western offensive are being
sent out by German war correspond
ents. One of them talks about 1,O00,-
600 yards of piping behind the front.
Another says the number Of airplanes
has been increased tenfold. Accord
ing to still another, tanks, batteries
for projecting poison gas and flames
and other modern engines of war in
great numbers are on the front.
Comment in the German press on
the new offensive, as summarized by
the Copenhagen correspondent of the
Exchange Telegraph Company, is to
the effect that the present battles are
the final and decisive exertion Of
strength on the part Of the German
people before peace comes. The news
papers say Germany need hold on only
short time, and that victory will be
obtained. Much attention is being
paid also to the Italian front.
The German newspapers reflect a
feeling of confidence concerning the
present operations in the West, though
the seriousness of the moment is rec
ognized. according to the Dutch news
agencies. says an Exchange Telegraph
dispatch from Amsterdam. The Ger
man newspapers insist that the mill
tary and political leaders of the Gen.
trail Powers have left nothing undone
to spare their people "this terrible
blood bath"

GasAttacko ON
American Line
Town Northwest of Toul
Is Bombarded at
Night
IBy Tho Associated Pressl


WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, March 23.-The American
guns retaliated heavily against the
Germans, who again last night dropped
more than 600 mustard gas shells into
a certain town within the American
lines. There was no wind and the gas
remained for hours. The American
artillery work was very accurate.
The Germans launched a heavy gas
attack against a certain town in our
lines northwest OF Toul last night. No
wind was blowing, and the fumes Of
mustard gas from the shells hung low
over the lines for several hours The
batteries firing the shells were located
to the right of Richecourt, and our ar
tillery was busy all morning with a re-
taliatory shelling.
The town shelled in the gas attack
contained certain number Of Ameri-
cans. Our artillery to-day dropped a
number of large shells into Jol Wood,
and after firing a few minutes made
direct hits on the target, causing a
tremendous explosion, followed by
dense columns of smoke as big
enemy munitions dump blew up. The
first explosion was followed by two
others less severe. Our shells also
made direct hits in the enemy's first
and third line trenches.
The Germans again have received an
example of the accuracy of the fire of
our 37-millimetre guns. An enemy
machine gun emplacement which has
been annoying the Americans for the
last two days was located, and then

are known along the front, got into
action, firing rapidly. They made a
number of direct hits and put the en-
placement guns crew out of commits
sion.
These small guns, which are about
the size of one-pounder, are easily
moved from place to place even in the
trenches. They also made direct hits
on the junction of communication
trenches as men were passing and into
the entrance Of the dugout which the
enemy were seen to enter and from
which smoke was issuing. None of
the enemy was seen to come out.
Intermittent artillery duels had been
in progress all to-day, both on our
Toul front and in the Luneville sector
where American troops are in training.
Three of our patrols reached the
enemy's line early this morning, but
in the brilliant moonlight they were
discovered and were driven out by
brisk machine gun and automatic rife
fire.
Our infantry discovered one enemy
patrol inside our wire. These Ger
mans were driven off and it is believed
they suffered casualties.
There was increased aerial activity
to day. The weather was warm and
it was generally clear except for haze
which obscured visibility above the
low ground. One machine with an
American observer at its gun emptied
q stream of bullets into a German air
plane, which was observed descending
rapidly, as though in trouble. behind
our lines.

Guns II IL Miles
A,uay, the Latest
Report in Paris

PARIS, March 23.-According tc
the latest reports the long distance
cannon which bombarded Paris this
afternoon was firing from dis
tance of 120 kilometres (approxi-
mately IA u miles) and was located
about twelve kilometres behind tho
French front.
PARIS, March 23.-The first daylight
air raid on Paris came to-day, VIII ch
was one of perfect sunshine. The poo-
selves in cellars and other subtsr-
rancan shelters, and, although the s2D-
way stations were crowded, the streets
always had great number of people
in them watching for an aerial battle
or some other stirring incident.
AS the day passed and the call clear"
signal was not given, the feeling grew
that something new in the way of
raid was expected, and this was not
explained until an official statement
was issued, saying that the delay was
due to the bombardment by long-dis-
tancc cannon.
The "all clear" was then sounded,
and the normal life was resumed. The
cable office reopened to take up ac-
cumuiatcd piles of dispatches.
Pieces of the shells, on eXamina-
ton, were found to bear rif1ing marks,
which proved that they had not been
dropped, but had been fired from Il
gun. This apparently left greater
mystery than ever as to where the
gun in question was located, the
nature of it and by what method it
was being operated.
Another thing which turned the
thoughts Of the officials at the munlcl-
pal laboratory to the possibility that
a cannon was being used was the regu-
larity with which the bombs fell, one
every twenty minutes.
After the aerial battle most of those
who had taken refuge in cellars, hear
ing no sound after half an hours stay,
came out and remained in the streets
about their doors, wondering at the
proongation Of the raid, which gen
orally does not exceed three hours.
Children Marched to Shelter
School children were marched to
shelters which had previously been al
lotted them. Many restaurants were
closed, but large stores, which had
Just finished arranging their windows,
lowered their shutters and sent their
employees into the cellars.
Paris wore an aspect recalling the
carly days of the war, in 1914. Teie-
phone girls remained 9at their posts,
very few taking advantage Of the adj
ministrntion's permission to seek ref
ugc if they wished. Tramways and
auto buses stopped on he streets
and the conductors and ticket collec-
tors sought the nearest shelter. The

"Considerable Part of the
British Army Beaten"
Says Berlin
Advance in Masses,
Ignoring Losses
Kaiser and Hindenburg Di-
recting Drive From
Spa, Belgium

A retreat by the British armies to
the Somme appears to be in prog
ress over large part of the front
attacked by the Germans. Lon
don last night was non-c -committal,
except to report tremendous fight
ing and Withdrawals in some
sectors.
Berlin declares that the Kaiser's
troops are drawing near Bapaume
and Peronne and are advancing
everywhere from south of the
Scarpe to below La Fere
Berlin officially announced yester-
day that $4,000 prisoners, 400
guns and 300 machine guns had
been taken.
Field Marshal Haig reported his de
fensive positions had been pierced
west of st. Quentin, but the Brit
ish were falling back in good order
to prepared positions in the rear.
Haig in his second statement yester-
day evening said the British were
heavily engaged with the enemy
in new positions south and west
Of st. Quentin. Further north, he
said, the enemy had attacked with
the utmost determination and re-
gardless of losses," but the British
had maintained their positions on
the greater part Of this front.
The enemy seems to have gained
about twelve miles from the for
mer front at the point of maxi
mum penetration.
The German official statement put
the present line northeast Of
Bapaume, Peronne and Ham" A
dispatch from British headquar-
ters said the Germans had crossed
the Somme Canal in the vicinity
Of Ham and assaulted the British
intrenched on the other side. Cav
airy was seen riding in the rear
of the German infantry.
The German success was won at an
enormous cost, all dispatches from
the front agree. British artillery
and machine guns fired almost
point blank into dense masses of
infantry.
Iondoners climbed to the housetops
tonight and distinctly heard the
throbbing of the unprecedented
bombardment.
From Bapaume to Ham, given by
the Germans as the limits of their
new front, is a stretch Of about
twenty-eight miles in a direct
line. Ham seems to have been
captured.
The drive is nominally directed by
the Kaiser himself. The two di-
rect subordinate leaders are the
German Crown Prince and
Crown Prince Rupprecht of Ba-
varia.
