LONDON, April 20.-After the ter
rife fighting Of the last fortnight the
battlefront seems unbelievably calm. 1t
is as if hurricane had swept over
Northwestern France, leaving the coun-
try battered, uprooted and exhausted.
The first phase of the great German
effort to reach the coast has definitely
ended. The spring rains and high
winds add to the discomfort of the at
tacking army and the defending forces.
The intervention of the elements is
welcome at this juncture. Only on the
southern portion of the Armentieres
front has the last day brought any
fighting, and here it was of a fitful
character. merely local engagements to
rectify the line or straighten the posi-
tion.
These small affairs around Robecq,
Givenchy and Festubert resulted in an
eminently satisfactory manner to the
British in every case.
Haig Builds New Defences
At the foot of the heights north of
Bailleul and along the ridges to the
east of the Ypres plain the enemy made
no fresh effort, but there is plenty of
evidence of activity behind his lines.
The same is true on this side. While
the enemy is drawing up his guns under
cover of the mist and night. the British
are building new defences, placing bat
teries and disposing troops.
From Italy the Anglo-French Allies
have received reinforcements; from the
Russian front the Germans have drawn
more divisions. Generalissimo Foch
expresses his satisfaction with the. sit
uation and declares: "We have ample
resources, and we shall do something
more" Which would indicate that
more will be heard of the reserves.
German critics are turning their at

Enemy Fliers Downed

German airplanes, flying at a low
altitude, attempted to disorSanize
the American fighting men, but two
enemy aviators were brought down
and the others driven off.
The Germans suffered heavy cas-
ualties, and the American lines re-
manned virtually intact.
The attacking troops carried ra-
tions and entrenching tools, indicat-
ing that they intended to occupy the
American positions for long period
A heavy haze overhung the sector
when the attack began, but later
there was brilliant sunshine.
The American artillermen did
valiant work, the men on many of
the batteries wearing gas masks.
Foes Losses Heavy
The enemy's casualties are be-
lieved to have been the heaviest sus-
tained by them thus far in any oper-
alton against the American troops.
Numbers of German dead are lying
in No Mans Land, in front of the
American trenches.
The German airmen poured ma
chine gun fire into the American
troops, but the anti-aircraft batteries
came into play and American airmen
took the air, bringing down two of
the enemy planes and dispensing the
others. All the American airmen re-
turned safely.
No Americans were taken prison
er, but three Germans were capt
ured.
The correspondent viewed the bat
tie from hill short distance be-
hind the lines. Trains moved to the
front with great regularity and
scores Of huge shells were seen
bursting, throwing up clouds of
white smoke in the neighboring hills.
The heavy rumbling was heard all
day.

1. The British by sudden attack

by the Germans in their assault
Thursday near Givenchy and Fes-

2. The enemy continued prepara-
tions for renewed drives south of
the Somme, toward Amiens, and
against the Ypres salient.
3. The Germans delivered on the
front northwest of Toul the great
est blow yet met by General
Pershing's men.
Twelve hundred picked troops, after
terrific bombardment, assaulted
the American and French lines on
front of mile in the Forest of
Renneres, near Seicheprey, a lit
tie east Of St. Mihiel. In their
first shock the enemy overran the
foremost positions and captured
the village of Seicheprey, but it
was retaken quickly by heavy.
counterstroke.
The enemy's losses were reported
heavy. Hard fighting was still
going on last night.
German airplanes cooperated with
the assaulting waves and Ameri-
can fliers brought down two Of

The feeling that the Germans are
likely to select Arras as a target
for great blow soon was reflect
ed in several British thrusts
along this sector. The British ad-
vanced their line on a 1,500-yard
front east of Beaurains. captur-

original positions. Later thew

The enemy assaulted the Belgians
