French Stand Firm
Before Heavy Blo.u
On Flanders Front
(By The Associated Press)

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
FRANCE, May 27.-Launching a heavy
offensive at dawn to-day against the
French in Locre-Voormezeele sector,
the Germans failed of their detectives
at virtually all points. At some points
the defending patrols were driven in,
/ but vigorous counter attacks threw the
Germans back at most places. Practi-
caily the entire French line was re-
established
Hard fighting at this hour still con-
tinues. on the northern part of the
battlefront. Just south of Dickebusch
Lake the Germans forced their way
into the French line for distance Of
300 yards. and also got into the front
region. In both these places the enemy
was clinging desperately to his newly
acquired positions, but the French were
dealing with the situation, which ap-
! peared to be satisfactory at the latest
reports. Cne hundred prisoners have
already been sent back to the French
cages.
To-day's attack was perhaps prelim-
mary to larger operations. and appar-
emily has been undertaken for the pur-
pose Of regaining the high ground
4 ""'SH eHe rIcHCH WTeSte0 from tne
enemy on Nav 90.
Such positions as Bruloose and
neighboring places would be valuable
acquisitions for the enemy if the Ger
mans were to develop general attack
in this region later.
1t is interesting to note in connec-
tion with to-day's drive in Flanders
that the Germans considered their at
tacks on the Lys front in April TO be
a failure, according to prisoners. 1t is
stated that while some troops have
been congratulated for the way they
fought, they have been told that their
failure was the result Of bad staff
work. The general in command of the
operations here was relieved of his
command.
The German attack against the En-
tente positions northwest Of Kemmel
was launched at 1880 o'clock this morn
ing, after heavy bompardment.
There was great activity on the part
OF the enemy in several sectors be-
tween Arras and Albert early this
morning, but no infantry movement
had been reported up to 10 o'clock.

tie began. The ruins of Rheims
have been almost deserted for several
weeks, the population having
dwindled from 10000 toea couple
of hundred during the last four
years. Its famous wine cellars
remain, but above ground it is only
skeleton of it's former self.
From Rheims and scissors run
the two great roads to Paris. From
Rheims Paris is seventy-three miles
distant, from Scissors sixty-fve
miles.
On the northern battlefront the
attack is so limited it can hardly
include more than a division. It is
the scene of the bloody reverse of
late April. This time the Germans
extended their bombardment range
TO include villages far behind the
line of battle. Up in the Nieuport
and Dixmude sectors there has been
lively raiding going on nightly, the
Belglans being exceedingly alert,
however.
New-York tribune., 1918-05-28

massed power. In the Flanders the
atre the original advance was only
ten or twelve miles in depth and 1t was
no great undertaking there to bring up
the lines for new assaults.
For these reasons many officers
thought tonight that extension of the
offensive to the Aisne theatre was
merely feint preparatory to a later
attack in the Albert region or near
Amiens, the point of maximum pene-
tration and where American units now
French comrades. 1t was pointed out
that the long sweep of the French line
from Montdidier southeast to Pinon,
the northern flank of the new German
thrust, has constituted great menace
to the whole German position in the
Picardy sector. Some officers thought
the real purpose of the Germans was
to crush in that French line by break
ing through behind it and forcing a
withdrawal.
Others contended that the new blow
was struck directly at Paris and the
long range gun brought into action
General Foch, supreme commander, to
mass reserves on that side.
From the French point Of view the
road to Paris must be defended at all
costs. The British, of course, attach
supreme Importance to the Channel
ports. The new German thrusts ap-
pear to be cunningly planned to exert
the greatest possible pressure on the
Allied leaders to draw their reserve
strength to the south and north, grad
ually weakening the line in the centre.
The centre is north of Amiens, proba-
bly,, from military standpoint, around
Albert.

Germans, as Before, .
Attack in Waves,
Aided by BQrrQee

LONDON, May 27.-The Reuter- cor
respondent at Headquarters in France
describes the German bombardment as
scarcely less violent than that which
heralded the German offensive on
March 21. Gas shells were employed in
great quantities, and the bombardment
and infantry attack between Scissors
and Rheims were on a more formidable
scale than in Flanders.
The Germans, according to this cor
respondent, employed their familiar
formations-dense waves of infantry
following closely in the wake of a
lifting barrage-and they pushed fresh
troops up with characteristic reckless
ness.
among the signs of resumption of
the grand offensive are that the enemy
is heavily shelling our far back areas
with high velocity guns, and also his
airmen are unusually venturesome, !"
continues the dispatch. "A note Of
confidence comes in the reports from
the battlefront"
Germany's offensive on the new front
in France is not on the extensive scale
of previous Teuton attacks, "The Even
ing Standard" says it understands. At
one point in the neighborhood of
Rheims, the newspaper says, the Ger
mans pressed back the British troops
for short distance.
That General Foch, the Entente AL
lied supreme commander, anticipated
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg's plans
in the Champagne was disclosed in yes
terday's German official statement,
which announced that British troops
had been captured in a raid in this
region.

Advantage With Attackers

Ludendorff enjoys a distinct ad-
vantage over the Allies, and his Sc.
lection Of the Aisne front shows
how highly he appreciates it. Since
the battle of the Marne the Germans
have held Laon mountains which
rise to height Of six hundred feet.
The country is entirely different
from the rolling plains of Picardy
or the lowlands of Flanders. In a
heavily wooded region behind the
lines of to-day's battle the enemy is
able to hide his guns and troop
movements. The whole country is
honeycombed with cave defences.
Here and there a hamlet nestles
at the foot Of hill, but no inhabi-
tants have remained within five
miles of the line where to-day's bat

man Strategy To Be De-
veloped Later

WASHINGTON, May 27.-Germany
apparently has launched another d.es-
perate attempt to smash her way
through the Allied armies to victory
before American troops can reach the
battlefelds of France and Flanders in
great force.
Associated Press reports from the
British and French fronts telling Of
the new assaults, which may mean that
the supreme test of power is at hand,
were conveyed to President Wilson just
as he was leaving the White House
for the Capitol to ask Congress for
Legislation to provide more money for
the war. The President emphasized his
request by telling the House and Sem
ate in joint session that the great en-
emy offensive apparently had been re-
sumed.
Later Mr.. Wilson went to the State,
War and Navy Building for brief con-
ferences with Secretaries Lansing, Ba-
ker and Daniels. 1t was taken for
granted that the primary object of the
visit was to seek official news from
the battlefront. and while there were
reports that the President discussed
other phases of the world situation
with the department heads they were
not given the slightest confirmation in
official quarters.
No official information had come to-
night to supplement press dispatches
from the front. General Pershing's s
daily communicate told of an enemy in
e. \ ~:
ton which penetrated the American
advanced positions in Picardy, only to
be driven back by coNnter attack
and of the repulse Of hostile raiding
party in the Woevre sector. 1t made
no reference to the strong drives
against the British and French, as the
communique deals only with the acti-
vtes of the American army.
Army officials studied the press ac-
counts closely for signs of the German
purpose. The fact that one blow was
launched at the southern end of the
Picardy-Flanders battle theatre and
the other at almost the extreme north
end of the 200mile battle front was
attacks were only preliminary moves
in the German strategic designs.
Extension of the active battlefront
to the Aisne sector on the south would
mean adding forty or fifty miles to the
fighting line at time when the Ger
man army needs every unit it can get
together in centralized positions within
the wide salient driven into the Allied
lines in the first rush. Officials here
agree with French critics that the
most probable place for the real re-
newal Of the drive to develop would be
in the Albert sector of the Amiens
front. An advance there would menace
One explanation of the long delay of
the Germans in renewing the offensive
has been found in the forty-mile

they had to move up guns and muni-
tions before they could resume the

Why Germans Delayed

The explanation of the long pause
comes to-day. Ludendorff used the
interval to shift large part of his
army from the north to the south.
He selected the Aisne front because
he could use old communications,
railways and roads to move up his
men and supplies.
There are now about 210 German
divisions on the West front, many
of them, possibly sixty, being held
in reserve for crushing blow at
the point in the line which proves
to be weakest. The present battle
front may be extended at any time
to include the Somme area.
By his new drive, Ludendorff has
changed the nature of fighting along
front of 1875 miles. Ludendorff's
tactics are much like those of a
quarterback of football team.
When he can hit at several points
in the line he is not likely to ham,
mer away at some place which the
opposition, knowing of his plans, can
reinforce by shifting players. Lu-
dendorff's new drive means he will
retain the initiative while longer.
Long Battle Expected
Military experts believe that the
present fighting will continue to be
violent for weeks, if not months.
They think that the Germans are
making their last great offensive,
and that if they fail 20 achieve sue
cess they will resign the initiative
and fall back upon the defensive un-

lean prisoners in the very region
where to-day's offensive took place,
while Haig disclosed the fact that
the whole six miles Of front attacked
to-day by Won Arnim's army was de-
Tended by the French.
The Allies are much stronger in
the air than they were during the
last week of March, when the Ger
man hordes swept over their Somme
airdromes. However, it is mistaken
optimism to conclude that because
Ludendorff selected a new battle
front he has abandoned all hope of
reaching his original goals. Revert
ing to the analogy Of the football
quarterback, there are times when
he selects a line drive and other
times when he circles the ends
though the objectives are similar in
both cases.

mans realize that in Foch they have

On either side. His greatest p-ob-
lens are those of men and communi-
cations. Long since it has been ad-
mitted that their geographical posi-
tion gave the Germans a distinct ad-
vantage in the matter of communi-
cations, and during the last two
months the Allies have suffered from
the heavy handicap of having one
of their chief lines under the obser-
walton of enemy artil]eriSts.
