reserve army, every soldier not actu- ally needed in the sector to which General Pershing's troops have been permanently assigned. This is said to have been made known to British officials by Secretary of War Baker at conferences in London Wednesday.
 The following semi-official state ment from London today is believed to have been prompted by Secretary Bakers assurances:
 "That America was all in the war was well recognized before, but after the arrangements now completed the confidence that the western republic would spare nothing in the common cause of democracy is doubly as- sured."
 Secretary Baker, before leaving for France, is said to have been empow- cred by President Wilson to make quick decisions iii the event of emer- gencies. His instructions are under stood to have been ''to act" and then report. It is regarded here as for tunate that spokesman of the White House was in France at a time when delay was most to be avoided.
 As the details of the plan have all been arranged abroad, even staff of fcers in Washington are experiencing difficulty in keeping fully informed. The number of American soldiers who will see service with the reserve army is not definitely known. During the early part of the day one official estimated the American contingent at 100000. His calculations were based upon the approximate number of General Pershing's men who would not be needed for other duty.
 The estimate was published as of ficial and had the effect of drawing a denial from Chief of Staff Major Gen. eral March. He said the reports re- ceived at his office made no mention of the number of Americans to be en- ployed with the reserves.
 The greatest interest among war department officials was centered on the point from which the reserve army would launch it's attack.
 Here again the lack of information was embarrassing. The reserves are known to have been assembled some what south of the Noyon district, not far from the forrest of St. Gobain.

LARGE CAVALRY FORGE

At Least Thirty-SiX New Regi- ments Will be Added to Pres ent FOrce-Will Be Used in Future in Open Warfare.

Washington, March 2S.-The grow ing belief in army circles that the German drive is a forerunner of open warfare in the near future has re- suited in orders for speeding up of organization and equipment of those branches of the service most effective in open field fighting.
 Up to the present few cavalry units have been sent abroad, although sev- eral regiments of regular army cav airy are in France with artillery and several on dismounted service. Many of the men called in the forthcoming draft will have an opportunity to enter cavalry and will receive assur- ances of an early trip abroad. At least 36 new cavalry regiments will be organized, the formation is we'll under way and the remount division of the war department report excel lent results in the nationwide can vass for horses suitable for cavalry purposes.
 Officers of the British general staff are outspoken in their praise of the rapid strides made by the Ameri can troops in learning the art of open field fighting.
 The success of the aeroplane as a means of scout work has not encour- aged the modern military leaders to favor large cavalry forces.
 The modern portable machine guns have made it possible for scout. ing parties to push forward, feel out the positions of the enemy, and, by digging in hold positions until sup ports have arrived. This work of maintaining contact with the oppos- ing forces were entrusted in large part to the cavalry when the war opened.
 Cavalry, however, would play most important part in the coming year. if either side succeeded in fore ing the fighting into open country. Use of cavalry dashes against lines of communication will be employed until some armored machine capable of greater speed than tank is devel- oped.

GREAT RESERVE ARMY OF ALLIES
 SWINGS INTO MOTION AGAINST HUN
American Soldiers Carrying Stars and Stripes Into Mghst Conflict Ever Recorded in Hstorys Pages-Unted States and Allies Have No Fear End-Aied Reserve Army Numbers About Seven Hundred Thousand

Washington, March 28.-The great reserve armies of the allies, in which American soldiers are carrying the stars and stripes into the momentous battle of all history, is in motion.
 The news means the brilliant American plan" credited to General Tasker H. Bliss by Premier Lloyd George in January, is in actual opera tion.
 The result is expected to be that flying wedge will be thrown against the German line at an unprotected point with sufficient forces to effect an opening. The next objective will be an engagement with the reserves now supporting Hindenburg and Lu- dendorff from the rear.
 The movement is also understood to contemplate an attack on the lines of communications which have made possible the extended German drive through the Cambrai district to Mont Didier.
 In this connection much interest was manifested late this evening in cable advices that the French have struck the enemy severe blow in the vicinity of Noyon, driving the Ger mans back two miles. There was considerable speculation as to wheth- CT this was the beginning Of the looked for counter offensive.
 The minimum strength of this mo- bile force is estimated numerically at 600,000 with a possible mavivo -0l of 800,000. It ths purely Franco
 1leric in comnosition. The Brit ish reserves have been withdrawn to points from where they can afford support to Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig, whose forces have borne the brunt of the Teutonic onslaughts for six days.
 The meagre details received by the war department of the strategy in- volved has given emphasis to the im- portance of the movement. Accord ing to one of the best informed mem bers of the general staff, the entire German plan of operations can be frustrated and make possible a vic tory for the allies which could in no other way be obtained.
 The United States field command CTS in France are understood to have made available for service with the

Noyon, is twenty miles long, so that a French break through at Noyon would mean tackling the Germans twenty miles in their rear. By ad- ministering to the foe his own poison- ous medicine of Cambrai fame, the allies, it appeared tonight, plan to turn the Somme battle field into the grave of the main German army in the very moment when German press pictures that field as the scene of victory which will bring peace"
 A battle greater in scope and fury than the Marne rages tonight along front of decisive combat. It con- sists of a series of interwoven and interdependent fanking attacks and counter attacks, foremost in import ance is now being launched by the French.
 Like a half opened umbrella, a huge German wedge has been thrust into the allied lines near the French British junction. The head of this wedge is northwest of Mont Didier. The northern side of this salient is about half the length of the southern one From Mont Didier to Noyon it is ten miles.
 The French counter blow fell against a little more than one-third of the southern side. Upon the fur ther development of this counter of fensive depends not only the success or failure of the whole German drive, but the fate of the entire French bat tie line to the Swiss border, as we'll as the fate of Paris.
 But to the British, in the mean time, a new menace has sprung up in the form of a German drive against Arras, launched primarily to extend the battle line and bring the German northern flank to level with the cen ter, and secondly. for the purpose of drawing British reserves away from the Somme where Haig's front has stood like granite for AS hours.
 Penetration of the British defense zone before Arras by the initial Ger man onslaught was admitted by the

rb Allied Troops Thrown Into Battle at Critical Moment Drive Army of Crown Prince Back Along Six Mile Front to Depth of Over Three Miles-If Followed Up Counter Offensive Will Take Initiative From Foe.

London, March 2S.-Led, it is said, bv General Foch, who turned the scales of battle on the Marne, power iul French reserve forces have driven in the crown princes southern flank on a front of six miles and a ouarter to depth of nearly two miles. Late this evening they were still going strong. From his whirl- wind aggressive the foe has been thrown upon the defensive. where he is most vulnerable; on his left be- tween Noyon and Mont Didier, the great French rail head fifty-five miles from Paris, yielded to his cen ter by the French last night at an appalling cost to the Germans.
 The counter drive was launched be- tween Bainviliers, ten miles south east of Mont Didier, and the region south of Noyon. With every hour it's momentum is reported to be gaining.
 The French pressure on the enemy" reported the British war office late in the evening, lis continu- ing in the area of their counter att tack"
 Fully S00,000 allied reserves, fresh and eager for battle, are reported ready to take a hand in the counter blow which, it is generally believed, has only begun.
 The psychological moment for it's inception came when the advance of the German center had pushed four miles northwest beyond Mon Didier, and the enemy, jubilant, was begin nlng to see the final realization of his gigantic Trolling up plan" within his grasp.
 The French counter drive, if pushed to success and if joined by a British plncer" against his right flank, would completely turn the tables on me Toe.

war office late today. The Germans are driving on the big base in a con- verging movement from the north east, east and south, trying to en- velop the town.
 Strategic evacuation of Arras must be counted among the possibilities of the next few hours.
 As on the first day of the drive-a week ago today-the only thing that counts is holding the line intact. The Anglo-French defense in the whole battle is elastic and it's very elasticity has so far been the allied salvation.
 The French counter offensive in the south, however, must have an im- mediate effect upon the situation in the north. Unless Hindenburg has tremendous reserve forces collected behind the Mont Didier- -Noyon line, ready to spray the French counter blow, he will directly be forced to thin his lines in the north to back up his hard pressed legions on the left and his pressure upon the British will subsequently, decrease.
 Thus, the end of the eighth day of the Picardy battle, unless all signs are deceiving, sees fortune slowly but steadily switching over to the allied side.
