 RENEW THRUST FOR AM|ENS
BIG LOSS OF MEN FAILS TO CHECK DRIVE FOR OBJECTIVE; NEW PLAN TO REDUCE COUNTER OFFENSIVE MENACE.
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press
 Facing American, French and Brit ish troops, strongly entrenched and well equipped for battle. the German army has not given up it's direct drive against Amicns after its utter re- pulse m its efforts to smash straight through to its objective. The enemy IS now attempting new maneuver. which is intended to broaden the field of action to reduce the menace of a counter offensive that would nullify the gains made by the Teutons since March Fist.
 Reports from the battle line in Picardy disclose that the first stages of this new German offensive are aimed at either side of the salient in the Allied lines, from the Labasse canal in the north to the sectors east of Laon. The great artillery forces of the enemy are laundering, with the bombardment deepening at places to intensity.
 Not Much Doing
 LONDON, April S-"Except for hostile artillery activity on different parts of the battle front, especially in the ncighborhood of Buquey," says Field Marshal Haig's statement from France, there is nothing of in terest to report"
 French Forced Back
 BERLIN, April S.-(Via London) German pressure along the Disc is forcing the French back at the lower outskirts of CoucyI wood. according to an official report from general headquarters, which says: In the continuation of our attack on the southern bank of the Disc, we drove the enemy out of their strong positions on the heights east of Coucy chateau"
 Heavy Losses Inflicted
 PARIS, April S.-The war office tonight says: Dur ing the course of the day, enemy pressure continued north of the Ail- cite river and in the region of the lower Coucy forest. Advanced sec tions resisted and hindered the ad- vance of the enemy, who was in greatly superior numbers, inflicting upon him heavy losses. On the i Somme front between Mont Didier and Noyon there was no infantry ac- ion. but the two artilleries displayed ] spirited activity"
