scribes Order of Battle of
German Division.
FIRST LINE TROOPS
STRIKE AT OBJECTIVE
Under Orders to Hit Straight at Point
Sought Regardless Of Losses
Second Line Charged With Redue-
ina Centers of Observation-Disclosures
Artillery" Supplied With Trench
Mortars, Prove Effective Force.

Ottawa, Ontario, April "A German
order captured on the battlefield, says
a Reuters correspondent describes the
order of battle of German division in
the presept offensive, as follows:
"The division advances III two regi-
mental groups, progressing side by side
The first line of each group consists
of one regiment Of three battalions OF
infantry, whose task is to advance
straight upon their objective regardless
of losses, leaving the work of reducing
our centers of resistance to special de-
tachments following them.
These consist first of one company
of storm troops, one and one-half ma
chine gun companies, a half company
of sappers, one detachment of liquid
fame throwers, half heavy trench
mortar company, one battery of light
trench mortars and two batteries OF
what is called infantry guns. In re-
serves come the third infantry regi-
ment and a division of five tanks of
British. origin and an independent group
consisting of two cyclist companies and
one company of storm troops.
'"This division is supported by twelve
batteries of field guns and two of heavy
artillery, including battery Of S-incf
howitzers.
Effective "Infantry Artillery"
According to prisoners a number OF
enemy battalions have large trench
mortar detachments, known as infantry
artillery, equipped with two trench
mortars of light model mounted on two
high wheels, capable of firing twenty
rounds a minute. The personnel OF
each detachment comprises two officers
and forty men.
1T is apparent from the foregoing
that the whole apparatus for destroy
ing the centers of our resistance has
been relegated to the second lines, the
famous storm troops, sappers and
trench mortar divisions.
"The mission of these specialists re-:
mains the same. They clear the trench
es, reduce strong positions, bomb re-
calcitrants from dug-outs, but while
they do this the battle is sweeping
miles further, at any rate in anticipa-
ton"

HUNS STRIKE At ARRAS.
Attack of March % Aimed at Strategi-

cal Objectives.
[By the Associated Press.1
British Headquarters in France. April
1.-The German attack along the Scarpe
river, on March 2S, had as its objective
the city of Arras and the formidable
Vimy ridge. Careful plans were laid to
carry out this ambition and the attack
was supported by very heavy assault
south and southwest of Arras, units of
at least eleven German divisions being
employed there.
It may be seen, therefore, that the
the main result they achieved was to
swell the already great total of their
casualties.
At o'clock on the morning of the
2sth the German guns opened a terrific
bombardment on the British positions.
and at 6:4O o'clock the British gunners
unloosed an avalanche of steel against
every known place of assembly the Ger
mans might be using.
Advance in Massed Order.
Shortly after o'clock the enemy ad-
vanced. They came forward slowly
and methodically in massed order.
Each soldier carried rations for two
days, an extra blanket and extra pair
|of shoes. The company commanders
were mounted s.
On the extreme north the storm cen
ter lay between Gravelle and Oppy,
Germans pivoting on Oppy. The Ger
mans lost heavily in the fighting, which
lasted all day, during which the Brit
ish fell back between Valloul and Will
1erva1 The German attacks against
these positions were futile. Elsewhere
north of the river the British stood
their ground and pushed forward
slightly Friday and Saturday.
South of the Scarpe the Germans
were heid up for d time by a division
which had been engaged against them
tine previous week. Later the division
was forced to retire behind Neuville-
Vltasse on account of pressure to the
south.
