BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS


WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
FRANCE, April 25.-Desperate fighting
boiled on the heights east of Amiens thruout
the night.
Tanks were used on both sides for the
first time in history.
As this is cabled the situation on the
Villers-Bretonneux ridge looks better. A
British counter attack seems to have made
some progress, driving the Germans out OF
Aquenne wood, west of Villers-Bretonneux
The situation in the town itself Is uncer-
tain, being of a touch-and-go nature.
First reports suggest the British tanks
drove the others off the field, since the Ger
man infantry, supported by its tanks, has
been flung back.
Two British tanks crawled up and down
the lines, moving down the German I'M
fantry in windrows. lf
PARIS, April 25.-"The Germans hav{
captured Hangard en- Santerre (wheres
American and French troops are fighting),
the French war office announced today.
''The battle continued violently around Hansard.en-
Sanerre where the Germans centered their attacks our
ing the night" the statement said
"The enemy took the city during the night but
WA. driven out bv our counter attacks 1t was then re-
taken by the Germans the price of heavy casuaties
The French hold the outskirts and the Germans have
been unable to push them out of the city, despite re-
peated efforts"
