BRITISH FRONT

With the British Army in France,
April (by the Associated Press) -
Smiling skies and ideal fighting
weather had up till noon failed to
draw the Germans out for further
fighting in the grand offensive against
the british front. Little fighting of
Importance had been reported north
of the Somme, while below that river
in the vital section of Morteuil the
situation appeared much the same as
last night. The probabilities are that
the enemy was not ready for another
big attack north of the Somme al
though the fact that he still has the
majority of his available divisions
there presages further activity and
it may come at any time.
There are at present something like
forty divisions in the battle zone north
of the river, and about thirty-seven
ged in the struggle further south
Ten of these have been used against
the British and the rest against the
French allies.
The German guns are not all
brought forward as yet and the
enemy gun fire has been compara-

divisions since the beginning of the
offensive, more than ten of which
were twice engaged Some divisions
had to be relieved at the end of the
first day, having lost more than half
of the men; such was the case of the
Forjy-feth and Eighty-eighth. The
latter has been nearly entirely wiped

the most are the Fifth, Twelfth,
