.jndenburg Held
at All Points
Hesitates
By William Philip simms.

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent.
With the British Armies in
France, April -Hindenburg and
Ludendorf continue to hesitate.
They have been shifting about for
five days. This has been perhaps
the quiestest day since the often,
sive began. The Germans must
have been hit hard, not to be able
to patch up their machine before
now. The British blew up the
bridges over which they retreated,
but Hindenburg has had ample
time to repair them. Probably the
Germans are ready for the second
phase of their offensive. But two
things are worrying them. The
first is the stunning blow given
them at Arras. The second is the
doubled battle front, combined
with the lessened number of troops.
They dislike pushing on toward
Amiens with Arras and Vimy
e1iI OotCOh1llS Ch0II hOI1u nouh did
the French menacing their south
ern flank. Likewise, whereas they
had ninety divisions (1,800,000
men) in the line and in reserve for
a five mile front on March 81, they
now have only the remnants of this
force, plus the sparse fresh troops
with which to carry ON their often
sive over one hundred mile front.
Indications in the next few days
are that Hindenburg is trying to
shorten the active battle front by
digging in at certain places, per
hitting him to ncentrate-prob
ably south Of the Somme. He will
be compelled again to draw from
garrisons in the quiet sectors. He
has already drawn twenty-eight di-
visions (336,00O men) from the
North Sea end and thirty divisions
100000 men) from the Swiss end
of the west front. About 100000
men-almost half of the total on
the west front are concentrated
on the new battle front. The prob
lem now is how long he can keep
up the drain. Obviously, linden
burg is stalking everything on this
last throw of the dice.

FRENCH BLLNDINC
GERMAN ARMIES
BY STRATEGY THE ENEMYS OBSERVATION POINTS SPOT
TED BY THE FRENCH COMMAND HAVE
EFFECTIVELY ELIMINATED
QUICK ACTION pARAlYZES THE TEUr0NS

The F3ench commander next
decided that the Germans were
seeing too much North Of the
Chemin des Danes. Consequent
ly following a brief artillery de-
luge, four companies Of poilus
passed to the attack against the
enemy lines forming a salient be-
tween the small river Miette and
the route to the German held vii
lage Of Juvin court, as for as the
village Of Ville-au-Bois.
They wiped out the salient, took
all the observatories and captured
475 prisoners-a number almost
equal to half Of the entire attack
ing force. Six Gernobn officers
and 45 under officers fell into the
net
The third and most important
French action lately was in re-
gion where constant heelish fight
ing has been the daily routine,
Hill 344, on the right bank Of the
Meuse, North Of Verdun.
French strategy in elinating the
enemy's advantageous positions
in the region Of Hill 344 has pro-
| badly never been employ before
in this war.
Just four hours after the be-
ginning Of the concentration of
fire, screened by it's own habitual
noise, at 1920 a. m. the French
! guns heightened their range and
',arraged the German rear while
the poilus went over the top. The
| surprise was complete Victory
! as Ion in several minutes. The
French infrantrymen in the first
waves left the taking Of prisoners
to "mopping up'' units who fol-
/ lowed behind. The latter horded
800 Germans to the rear. Enemy
losses in dead and wounded were
! heaviest.
The advantageous positions
which it had taken the enemy
over eight weeks to gain were
wiped out in not much more than
eight minutes.

GREAT OFFENSIVE
OF THE WAR

Washington, Jan. S.-,Secretarv
Of War Baker made his weekly
statement today, in which he said
that a g'iehntic German thrust
on the west front, possibly be the
greatest assault during the war,
was impending.
The German were counted upon
to strain every fibre Of their
remaining strength in an endeav-
or to make the plans succeed.
Delay in making the assault is
due to the time necessary for con-
ccntrafion of the lar"r masses
and adequate artillery, as well as
ample reserve ammunition.
Secretary Baker counselled the
American people, on the eve Of q
possible German offensive, to re-
call that the allies in the past
have always come out victorious.

With the French Armies III the
Field. Jan. 8-French troops are
methodically taking away the
German spyglasses.
One by one, enemy observation
points or advantageous positions
have been carefully spotted by the
French command and effectively
climated. Through French Off
cial communiques issued have
registered merely local actions,
these have had for the main OBJ
jective that Of snatching the bin
oculars from the Tueton eye.
A brief artillery preparation, a
shrill whistle in the first line
trenches and the poilus have
bounded cover the top in actions
Of signal Importance in Alsace,
North Of the Chemin des Danes
and North of Verdun at Hill 344.
Nearly 1,4OO prisoners and valu-
able war material is the by
product' of these local, strategi-
cal drives.
The first "spy-glass'' seizure
was that Of the "Schonholz,' a
powerfully fortified German sa-
lient jutting into the French lines
in Alsace, serving the double pur-
nose Of German observation Of the
French organizations and preven-
ting the French seeing in the di
! rection of Atkirch. On one after
noon, recently, after brief but
violent artillery preparation
three companies Of French Chas
seurs-Blue Devils-attacked the
Schonholz completely wiplng out
the salient in fierce fight last
ing into the night. The enemy
desperately counter attacked but
failed leaving in all 120 prisoners
including six officers, in the hands
Of the Blue Devils. Complete
German losses, high because o.
their fierce efforts to retain a posi-
ton which they know to be o
extreme value, were estimated a
least 600.
