The drive on Amiens, for which the Germans plunged
desperately but failed to reach in their offensive last
month was resumed today.
In the effort to press forward toward this important
junction point and allied base renewed after two weeks
interval in which the main German effort transferred
to Flanders the enemy this morning launched heavy at
tack a front of approximately 20 miles.
The line at which the German infantry is again being
thrown extends from the district north of Albert north
east of Amiens the Avre river southeast of the city
Nearly all this front is held by the British whose lines link
up with the French at the river Luce, about three miles
north of the Aisne.
1t has been regarded as almost inevitable that the
Germans would again strike here the advance of their
right flank in the Amens region stopped short by the
strong British resistance at Albert tagging far behind
their left which was pushed at Caste to within short
distance of the Amens railway The attack here
furthermore represents continuation of the persisen
German effort to push in between the French and th
British by striking heavy blows near their point of june
ton.
