HUN DRIVE SLOWS UP
ALLIED ARMIES FIGHT HARD TO
CHECK kAISER'S HoRDES.
to Throw More Troops
Into Battle.

London, March 25.-Battling for ev-
cry point of vantage, giving ground
only when overwhelmed by numbers,
and exacting a frightful toll of lives
for every foot of ground abandoned,
the British line in Picardy is still in
tact. While the German onslaught
gained ground at a number of points
on Monday, there was no sign of dis
Indignation in the British forces, which
at many points, especially on the north
ern end of the long line OIL battle, are
standing firm.
The German official report tells of
the defeat of the British and their
retreat via Ypres and Sally" This
would seem to indicate heavy fighting
far TO the north of the Somme battle
field, of which no British report has
spoken.
There is, however, a town called
Sally south of Bapaume and eastward
IF this place is town known as Ytres.
1t is probable that these were the
points referred to In the statement
from Berlin. The largest gains made
Oy the Germans have been west of St.
Quentin, where they have captured
Nesle and Guiscard
These points, which are at the tip
IF the Teutonic attack, are more than
len miles from the front as it stood
March q. Military observers discern
in the scheme of the German attack a
'epetition of the German 'pincer" sys-
tenn of attack, which was used by Won
Mackensen in Russia, ROumania and
Serbia. This attack consists Of two
attacks some distance apart, which,
after progressing to some depth, turn
toward each other, compelling the
forces caught between them to fall
pack or be in danger of capture.
The British have foreseen this dan
ger and have met it by first checking,
hen forcing the northern jaw of the
Dincer southwark, while they have
dropped back on the center and have
aot fallen into the German trap.

TIRE OF SLAUGHTER
BRlToNS CEASE KILLING ONLY
WHEN WORN OUT.
SereneIy Confident That Foe Will Not
Break Through the Haig
Defenses.

Ottawa, Ont, March 23.-"The en-
envy is now throwing his last ounce
of weight and resource into the strug-
gle," says a dispatch from CORE
spondent at British headquarters in
France to the Ottawa agency of Reu-
tiers Limited. Upon the course Of
the immediate future hangs the result
OF the war. A captured airman stated ::
This offensive is the result of desper-
alton. We must have peace quickly
now'
Our troops throughout the 23d and
oath were very hard pressed by the
endless enrolling legions through
whose weary ranks fresh divisions
were being constantly poured
THE magnificent defense the slowly
retiring British line has made thus far
assuredly constitutes one of the great
est epochs in history.
Il find at the headquarters today
unbroken serenity, confidence and sat
isfaction with the general change in
position during Saturday afternoon.
In the region of Ham things tempo
rarily looked ugly when the enemy out
thanked us and his cavalry poured out
in order to extend an enveloping
movement. But vigorous counter-at-
tacks drove the enemy back and re-
stored our position.
when reading German claims, re-
member the extent of the battle front,
the enemy's unforgettable concentra-
ton of guns, which is the greatest ever
collected-a vast hecatomb marking
the wake of his advance
'The French troops on our right,
after the lengthy rest, are at the top
of their daShing morale
Yesterday there was heroic fighting
in the center of the battlefront, where
our machine gunners a number of
times had to cease killing through
sheer exhaustion.
Never have the British armies so
superbly met such an overwhelming
test. Included are the South African
contingents and the Newfoundland
battalion, both of which have been
fighting magnifcently.
1.-THE fourth day of the offensive
has failed to bring any surprise, al
though the lOng-range guns are doing
their utmost day and night"
