LONDON, May 2s.-(weduesday.) y
The sttuation on the Pica-dy fighting
front, where the Germans have dented
the Era1co-Rritish lines for a dis
tance OF eight miles at some points,
is serious, but IS not considered crit
ical in British military circles.
LATEST news from the front is to
the effect that French, British and
Anne rican reserves in sufficient force
to withstand the German offensive
are within striking distance if they are
not already on the firing lines. That
General Foch has forces to meet the
crisis is not doubted in any quarter,
and confidence in the entente high
command is undisturbed by the re-
vGrse along the Aisne.

tain whether the Germans intend
this attack as resumption Of their

only 20 to 25 divisions had been en-
