CANADIAN ARMY HEADQUAR-
TIERS IN THE FIELD. April 3 (vis
London by Canadian Press. Ltd).-
Again this morning our guns, heavy
and light, have smashed up the enemy
trenches. communications and assem-
bly, areas, our artillery cooperating
with the infantry in fourteen minutes
Of barrage fire, while our machine guns
swept No Mans Land and tho oppos-
ing trenches: Our stokes" and trench
mortars added the weight OF their
fire TO the programme. which gave
the enemy further grim notice OF our
readiness TO meet his offensive opera
tions. All night long. too. our guns
maintained a slow fire on enemy
areas. punctuated with haraSsing flrc
programmes at intervals.
While both the enemy's weight OF
artillery and infantry concentration
point TO another attempt against
Arras and Nimy Ridge, nothing more
than patrol activity has characterized
our front line, save for one raid
north OF Acheville against an enemy
post, and as a result Of which we
captured one prisoner.
In visits TO batteries. battalions
and brigades and divisions, the cor
respondent has found high spirits
everywhere. 1t is felt that Germany
has lost the first play in her des-
porate gamble for victory. and while
further bitter fighting is anticipated
there is no conviction anywhere that
the enemy can succeed in tho future
where he has failed in the past.
