back TO the Hindenburg line, part of
which they lost tothe British last No
Ivember. If Won Hmdenburg is now ser
liously determined TO regain the territory
he surrendered without blow last year,
he has become the severest critic of
his own strategy.
A purpose such as this would suggest

no major Objective in the line Of the

quite outside the fegion Of the direct

The Germans have defensive purposes
to serve, however, by the attempted ad

lieve that the capture Of Cambria NAV
be attempted by the British when they
begin their own major offensive this
year. Cambria s fall would seriously
menace an important part of the Ger

British went a comparatively small dis
tance beyond Cambria, they might even
compel large German retreat.
The British retain strong positions
! for Cambria offensive as the result Of
their tank victory last November. II
is very probable, therefore, that VoT
Hindenburg wants to regain these po
sitions because he fears their menace to
Cambria. Cambrai's S jeopardy would be
a sufficient reason for German ad
vance in force. But, such an advance
would have no objective beyond a de
fensive one. If they were attained, the
advance would stop before determined
enemy resistance.
While thus taking the iniatiwe to de-

With the British Armies in France,
Mar. 22.-(1:15 a. m.)-British troops
with their customary GOODNESS, bobbed
up. after the German barrage of gas
shells and high explosives at the start
of the big enemy attack and met the
first rush, wearing gas masks and ma
chine cunning the advancing waves.
Hand to hand fighting was frequent.
British soldiers occupying the strong
points in the line fought it with knives
and bavonets.
It looks as though Hindenburg had
launched his long heralded offensive. If
this is the loudly advertised drive, it
has come according to specifications.
Officers and men are smiling confident
ly as this is eabled. The situation is
necessarily vague. When fighting be-
gins on such wide front few hours
arc required to watch developments.
What sometimes appears a hurricane
becomes a feint and seeming feint
becomes a serious drive.
The Germans hurled their storm
troops against the British right flank,
following a brief bombardment, on a
forty Five mile front. They came on in
thick waves in smoke barrage.
Machine Guns Deadly.
British artillery and machine guns cut
swaths in the nemy ranks.
Enemy high velocity guns began she'll
ing towns far in the rear as the bat
tie commenced. They fired regularly
throughout the morning at five minute
inter walls, stopping periodically to cool
off their guns.
German preparations prior to the at
tack were stupendous and were car
ried out with the utmost attempt at
secrecy. Haig, however, knew what was
happening. His airmen reported every
new ammunition dump, railway line,
strategic road or airdrome as soon as
they were commenced.
Day by day, they watched linden
burg complete his preparations. And day
by day Haig took counter precautions
accordingly.
The enemy attacked in tremendous
strength yesterday. At least 10 divisions
(probably 100000 to 2s5,000 mem
figuring on the basis of 5000 to 15,-
900 men in a division) have been iden-
titled.
BY noon they had succeeded in pene-
trating the British first and second

Washington, Mar. 22.-Reorganiza-
tion of the entire bituminous coal in
dustry began today, following an
nouncement by Fuel Administrator
Garfield Of fourteen producing zones
within which consumption will be large
! ly confined.
Elimination of thousands of miles
of long cross hauling with consequent
increase in car utility are the big re-
suits aimed at.
Only bituminous and camel coal are
affected. Anthracite, coke, railroad
coal, coal for movement ON inland wa
terways and coal delivered to Canada
are not affected. Regulations are eff
fective April L.
Embargoes by Director General Me
Adoo will prevent violation of DR..
Garfield's order. Special dispensation
may be obtained through the fuel ad-
ministfation in the case of special coal
needed for producing illuminating gas,
mettallurgical, smithing or other tech
nical purposes. With these exceptions,
coal must be purchased from the near
est producing center.
Short Instead of Long Hauls
Every effort will be made, the fuel
administration explained to preserve
long established trade relations be-
tween producers and consumers insofar
as economy of transportation is not
involved.
Nothing must interfere with the coal
supply, it was emphasized.
''It has been found that factor
which has largely diminished the num-
Der of cars available for loading in
the mines and the number of locomo
tives abailable to haul coal is that in 2
substantial sense, the country has been
carrying Goals to New Castle" " the
