LATEST At TACK
To BE SUPREME
ENEMY EFFORT
FIGHTING TO BE OVER
FRONT OF FIFTY MILES
Greater Activity Already Is
Shown on the Somme and
Ypres Sectors

A summary Of the military situa-
ton on the western front, given out
by the British general staff. states
that another terrific attack by the
Germans is imminent. Il is indL
Gated that the British expect the
new attack to be on as great a scale
as that of March q, when the fight
inc was begun over d front OF %
miles. The halt in the German as
sault has given the Teutons
chance to reform their shattered d.
visions, it is admitted, but it has
also allowed the Allies to strengthen
their lines.
The arrival Of American troops,
which are coming to the battle tieso
in large numbers, is another factor
in favor of the Entente Allies. It is
pointed out.
During the last day the activity OF
the enemy has been most pronounced
at the tips of the salients driven
into the allied lines in the Ypres
and Somme fronts. There was no.
table increase in the German artlI-
lery fire on the lys front. in front
Of Hazebrouck, while Hailes. east
Of Amiens. has again been delueed
with shells from the German can
non. At this point the French have
made notable advances Of late, and
at no time since the German wedge
ceased to move early in April has
this region been quiet.
The perfect weather that has pre-
vailed for several days over the en-
tire western front has led to an un-
usual number of battles between
aerial squadrons. In these comoats
the enemy seems to have suffered
heavily, and while the Allies have
not escaped unscathed, they appear
to have maintained their mastery Of
the air.
Eddie Rickenbacker. the former
automobile race driver. now with
the American flying forces on the
TouE front, has added another H""
man machine to his reco7I.
All along the front in France the
tension under which the men are
working has been reflected hy the
