HUNS FAILING
DESPITE GREAT
FORCE IN DRIVE
Correspondent at French Head
quarters Says Kaiser Had 1876
Divisions at Front.
ABANDON STRAIGHT ATTACKS
Enemy, Arrested in Mldeourse, Stops
Head-on Marching Upon Detectives
and Breaking Down Resistance
by Overwhelming Numbers.

Ottawa, April 1.-THE situation
now is clearer than at any time since
the beginning OF the offensive" says
the Reuter- correspondent at French
headquarters in a message received
here.
The enemy. arrested I'm midcourse,
has abandoned marching straight upon
detectives and breaking down resist
ance by overwhelming numbers. He
now is striking at estimated weak
spots In order to drive us back as far
as possible before he himself is
brought to standstill. Thus, the
enemy drive down the Disc valley is
finally arrested. Attempts to cross
the Disc further north failed and the
bridges now are destroyed.
Enemy Driven From Hills Near Noyon.
The village of Pont Leveque, below
Noyon. has been recaptured and the
enemy driven from the heights above
Susey. northwest of Noyon.
The enemy's capture of Montdidier
was just too late for him TO profit by
II, as French forces were able to en-
gage the Germans to the west and
bring the advance TO standstill, this
multiplying their efforts to pierce the
junction of the AnglO-French armies.
The hinge between the English and
French armies will never be broken,
as the junction now is covered by
French forces strong enough to meet
all eventualities.
"Eighty-seven enemy divisions have
been Identified on fifty miles of battle
front. comprising the pick of the Ger
man troops. The French steadily en-
gagged three guard divisions, the ia
nous Brandenburgers and some of the
best Bavarlan divisions.
100000 Germans In Drive.
Before the offensive the Germans
had 100 divisions in line on the Brit
ish front and &c divisions in reserve.
The enemy therefore has already had
engaged more than the whole of the
reserves In France in the present
battle. and has also denuded certain
sectors of his troops. To replace the
wastage the enemy possesses about
twenty divisions, and cOnceivably
forty of inferior material as useful for
filling gaps, but not for winning
battles"
CAS- German division is figured at
between 10000 and 1900 men. the
Germans must have had about 100000
men on the British front before the
