Allied Troops Are Strongly Entenched.

Facing American, French and Brit
ish troops strongly entrenched ana
equipped for the battle the Germans
have for the moment given up the
drive against Amiens. After heavy
repulses in his efforts to smash or
through, the enemy now is attempting
a new maneuver intended to broaden
the field of action and reduce the men
ace of a counter offensive that would
nullifv all the gains made by the Teu-
tons on March 81. Reports from
Picardy discloses the first stages OF
this new offensive aimed at either
side of the salient. From LaBassee
canal in the north to the sectors east
of Laon, the great artillery forces OF
the enemy are laundering. The length
of this front is 120 miles. North OF
Lens, east of Arras along the new
front running through Buchquoy to
Albert, south to Montdidler and south
east past Lassigny and Noyon to
point beyond Chauny, the Germans are
hammering the allied lines in an at
tempt to break the defensive and pre-
pare for the infantry assault. On the
western "elbow" of the salient in the
allied line the Germans have to fight
uphill. Their advance across the low
er ground along the Somme, Ancre,
Avre and Luce rivers has carried them
up to parapet of hills which sentinel
the roads to Amiens. Attacks along
this bulwaTk have netted the enemy
only in insignificant gains. At points
the Germans efforts have gained, but
these have resulted only in the forma-
ton of salients of shell whenever
enemy troops are seen forming.
