ATTEMPT TO REGAIN
HINDENBURG LINE

AS an indicationsof the sanguinary
nature of the fighting the Berlin for
eign Office states that 10000 men
and 200 guns have been captured.
This may be compared to the British
losses in the German counter-offens-
i've of December 4, }1917, when 5000
men and 100 guns were captured.
The first reports of infantry fight
Ing were indicativeso Of an attempt on
the part OF the Germans to drive
wedges into both sides of the Cam
brai salient, isolate the British troops
further east and regain the linden
burg. line, from Aich they were
driven on November %, 1917, by
General Byng's sudden blow. Subse-
quent dispatches have proved that
this was, indeed, the plan of the
German general staff. The fighting
on the rest of the 5O-mile front was
but a side issue to the terrific on
slaught aimed at Gauche wood and
Lagnicourt, the south and north
bases of the salient.
There is no data upon which it is
possible to estimate the success at
tanned by the Germans to the south,
but names of towns where the ar
mics were battling on Friday show
that on the northern side of the sali-
ent the Germans bent the British
line back about two and a half miles.
It was reported that St. Ledger was
the scene of hard struggle and that
Doignies had been retaken by the
British. These points are about four
kilometers or 2.48 miles, back of the
British lines as they stood before the
attack began. Berlin claims that the
British first line along three miles
were captured.

RUSSIANS RETAKE
ODESSA FROM GERMANS
(By the Associated Press)


London, March 27.-Odessa has
been recaptured by the soviet and
Ukranian troops after a bloody bat
tie in which naval forces took part,
according to a Moscow dispatch from
semi-official Russian news agency.
The German war Office, on March
13, announced that Odessa has been
entered by German troops. A semi
official report was then made that
Germany had obtained a direct route
by way of Russia to Persia and Az
ghanistan.
Odessa is the most important sea
port of southern Russia and the
fourth city of Russia in size.

Story of the Attack.

London, March 23.-The artillery
preparation Of the Germans in the.
drive against the British lines, which
now is in progress, is described by
those who took part in it as the most
violent they ever endured, according
to the Daily, Nails. correspondent ON
the British front.
"The thing that stands out as char
acteristic in the fighting up to the
present" says the correspondent. sis
that we did SO we'll under the terrific
impact" Continuing, the cores
pondent says:
Upon one corps front there was a
gun every fifteen yards. The
strength of the mortars which the
enemy brought up in such great num-
bers sent over such an overwhelm-
ing weight of iron and high explosives
that in most parts of the front, wire
ceased to be an obstacle and trenches
were obliterated. At the same time,
all of our known battery positions
were drenched with gas, but their
shells failed to reach all of our bat
teries, nor did they succeed anywhere
in breaking down our fire. At one
point where the Germans found the
wire unbroken, they set to work with
scissors until they had made their
way through, an incident reminiscent
of the methods of fighting inculcated
by Frederick the Great. All Of this
waa done under orr machine gun fire.
A curious fact reported by our air.
men was that the Germans compos-
ing the special assault divisions wore
new uniforms. "Got on their best
clothes for q visit to Paris" COM
mented one of our generals.
Our relaying corps did valuable
work despite adverse weather condi-
tions. One of our men In the early
morning reconnaissances spotted sew

reported 5000 of the enemy in q

seen and they mostly few low, pep
pering our trenches with their ma
chine guns.
,ly 100000 Germans participated in
the offensive. The enemy fought
we'll and his gunners did good service.
The quickness with which guns were
brought forward into No Mans Land
after the infantry had advanced, was
marked. He has In many places the

LONG RANGE BOMBARDAlENT
OF PARIS RENEWED.

Paris, March 25.-The long range
bombardment of Paris was resumed
at $50 o'clock this morning, but was
interrupted after the second shot.
After a brief interval, two more
shots were fired. The bombardment
was again suspended at 80 o'clock.
AS was the case yesterday, the
people did not take to shelter. Little
interest was shown in the lombard
ment.
Soon after they were awakened by
the first shot the people were brought
to their windows by the rafting of
the drums, which is the new system
Of alarm. The populace appeared to
lose interest in the bombardment and
work resumed under normal condi-
tions. 4t.
Twenty-four shells reached Paris
on Saturday and 81 yesterday. The
intervals between, shots was reduced
from Is to 20 on Saturday, to an
average of 9 minutes yesterday.
f. On two occasions there was an in
terval of one or two minutes. Shells
fell at 9.15 and 9.16, and 9.45 and
-9.47. This was accepted as a con-
firming theory that at least two guns
were firing. The time of flight of the
shells is estimated at 10 minutes at
at least; the curve traversed at
12O miles, and the maximum height
attained at Is miles.

Theer are no trees, no houses in

now fighting over their comrades

Thick columns of the enemy are
slowly driving forward against the
battering of the British guns. Their
refnforcements are coming up from
all parts of the lines. Prisoners say
these reinforcemepts include reserves
