Summary

Britishssoldiers have met and with
stood the most stupendous attack.Ger-
many has hurled against the eastern
front in three and one-half years of
warfare. On front of more than f1f-
ty miles the armed hosts of democracy
are at grips with the forces Of Prus-
and what may he the decisive
struggle in the great war is raging in
northern France. \
In their first onslaught, the enemy,
after a gigantic bombardment from
great masses of guns, passed the Brit
ish outposts at some points and at
tanned the battle line, but nowhere did
the Germans gain, the detectives plan
ned. Regiment after regiment was
hurled against. the .defenses of the
British front and Field Marshal Haig
reports the German losses as excep-
tionally heavy. = So .e q.
Desperate fighting continues all
along the lines from Sensee to the
Disc and especially on the Cambrai
sector. Enemy efforts before Cambrai
were aimed principally to the north
and south of the salient left after the
fighting ceased there last November
with the evident purpose of cutting of
the salient and driving theoug the
opening toward the old battlefield of
the Somme. - .,f'
Germany's latest Offensive finds
both sides prepared for the shock of
prolonged and sanguinary combat For
months the Germans have been train
ing troops and moving up guns and
supplies behind their lines between
Arras and st. Quentin. The British
also have been active and were pre-
parcd for any blow the enemy Nigh,
deliver and had anticipated that the
offensive movement would come where
it did. 49,
Behind the British lines is the de-
vastated area over which the German ms
retreated last March. Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg declared at the time
that the devastation was sohrri4ds.O out
not only to hamper the lhed armies
but to provide a battlefield for the fu.
ture. The German attack may be only
a feint, but large breach in the
British lines might involve the safety
of Paris and Amiens and the French
channel ports from the mouth of the
Seine to Belgium. '
German artillery fire also has beer
intense on a lengthy front north. o1

Guns Sound Like Drums.

As the barrage lifted, the roar be-
came quiet just at the moment the
Americans and French went over. the
top. The noise of the German guns
sounded like some one beating a big
bass drum.
Soon nearly all the firing ceased and
almost Immediately the staccato rat
tie Of machine guns and automatic
rifles began. Occasionally rife fire
broke in and then all was fairly quiet
for nearly half an hour. except for
occasional bursts of ritle fire and short
bursts Of automatic rifles
4 The first members of the raiding
party to return to the American flrst
lire were the stretchers bearers. When
all the raiders had returned, DUH ex-
plosions sounded from within the enc
my lines, and occasionally there were
bursts OF flame showing; where dug
outs were being blown TIP. The raid
ing party came back mud stained and
some were smeared with blood They
reported they had secured no prtRon-
sern because the Germans had fed ~
soon as the Americans. and French
dropped into their trenches. Some Of
the Germans were shot, while they
were trvine to get aWay3 and others
were killed by the American shells.
