Germans Cut Wire
Defences by Hand
Under Hail of Lead

LONDON, March 23.-The artillery
preparation of the Germans in the
drive against the British lines which
IS now In progress is described by
those who took part in the battle as
the most violent thev ever endured,
according to "rhe Daily Mails" CORES
pondent on the British front. "Thc
thing that stands out as characteristic
Of the lighting up to the present" says
the correspondent, "is that we did so
wejl under the terrific impact" Con-
tlnulng the correspondent says:
upon one corps front there was n
gun every fifteen yards. The strength
OF the mortars, which the enemy
brought up in such great numbers,
scnt over such an overwhelming
weight Of iron and high explosives that

visions negotiated the assault in this
section, but they met with strenuous
resistance British machine gunners
did terrible execution as the Germans
moved forward.
AS on Thursday the Germans to-day
depended on tremendous artillery bonn
bardments and massed attacks with
great numbers of troops to achieve re-
suits. AT least forty German divisions
have been identified and the German
artillery concentration is the greatest
that has been seen on the West
1t is reported that in one section the
Germans came across No Mans Land IN
regular formation and gaps in the
ranks were quickly filled in to present
a solid front. The Germans are said to
have stopped when they reached the
barbed wire and to have cut it by hand
under a heavy tirc from the rifles, ma
chine guns and artillery However. the
report is not verified, but it is certain
that the Germans advanced IN more
dense formations than ever before and
naturally suffered grievous casualties.
Six German divisions Thursday deliv-
cred a very heavy attack against the
British south of st. Quentin. Despite
the fact that the enemy had a supe-
riorty in numbers, the British hung
doggedly to their posts through out the
day, and it was only after the Germans
had stopped the assault that the British
withdrew their lines somewhat in order
to give them protection by means of
the Disc River and the flooded ground
around it.

The police were placed at each s,a-

recent panic and prevented people
from assembling around the entrance.
Nine hours thus passed, and then PARIS
learned that it was not beng raloeu'

A Third Warning
Paris received third warning OF

AN alarm was given at 9 o'clock. ne
"All clear" signal was given at lo:2

whether the warning was against an
airplane raid or whether the long-dls

The statement reads:
Enemy aircraft crossed our lines

front without causing important dam

the region of Paris.
"An alarm was given in Paris at

The following official announcement
was given out:
CAT S:2O o'clock this morning few
airplanes, flying at very high altl-
tude, succeeded in crossing the lines
and attacking Paris. They were lmme-
diately pursued by aviators Of the IN
trenched camps of Paris, as we'll as by
those at the front.
The dropping Of bombs at several

President Poincare. Premier Clemen-

officials visited the places at which

the "Marseillaise." The President and
Premier responded with a cheer for
France.
An official statement issued here to-

Paris last night, dropping number or
bombs. There were some casualties.
At 0 o'clock last night a group of

BRITISH ARMY HEADQUARTERS
IN FRANCE, March 23.-lt was re-
ported this morning that enemy in
fantry had pushed down across the
Canal de la Sommc and had driven
forward against the positions to which
the British had retired. German cavalry
was seen advancing behind the in
fantry.
There was small doubt but that the
attacking forces intended to make q
supreme effort to rupture the British
line in this sector.
The Germans this afternoon were
pressing the attack hard on the British
right flank, near Ham, while on the
northern end of the battlefield there
has been desperate lighting since yes
terday about Mory, which changed
hands several times.
The British, gallantly fighting, arc
still presenting solid front to the
iicrcely attacking Germans, although
the defensive troops have withdrawn
their lines in certain places for stra-
tegic reasons.
All dav yesterday and much Of last
night the conflict continued to rage
with increasing violence as fresh Ger
man divisions were hurled into the
fray in an attempt to smash through
the British defences.
The operation is so vast and IS
changing with such Kaleidoscope ra
pidity as the line surgcs backward and

nccted and accurate account of it at

impossible to say whether this is ac-

Certainly the Germans are putting
all their available strength into the
assault, and fresh troops are constant

BRITISH ARMY HEADQUARTERS
IN FRANCE, Friday, March 22.-Brit-
ish troops between the Scarpe and Disc
have fallen back in places, but the
British generals had forseen this event
uality and made preparations accord
ingly. In the face Of great attack
it is not only impossible but quite un-
sound to hold the front lne trenches
everywhere. Good defensive tactices
usually aim at organizing resistance so
that the further the enemy advances
the stronger will be the opposition he
meets.
Taking the situation as a whole, the
British are we'll satisfied with the re-
suits of the first stage of the fighting.
They undoubtedly lost several ruined
villages and the Germans probably will
make much of their capture, but the
defenders have held on amazingly we'll
and worked terrible slaughter among
the attackers.
The fighting to-day was greatest in
intensity on two sectors-one north
west Of Cambra and the other south
west. The fighting on the northern
front was about Bullecourt, while Hargi-
court is the southern centre. A bright
sun came OUT at midday ana alrmen

The enemy depended largely upon large
numbers Of trench mortars to cut the
wire cntanglcments. The British had
had warnings that the Germans would
use great quantities of gas shells This
proved to be true, although there was
nothing new in the type of gas, and the
british gas masks appear to have been
most effective.
The British Tommies and their Off
GERS fought for hours with their gas
masks on, but even this drawback could
not dampen their jubilation at the
havoc they caused as the German infan-
try presented itself in the form oi

The fighting in the air was very heavy,
almost all the combats taking place
between Arras and st. Quentin. Twen-
ty-sevcn enemy machines were brought

shot down in our lines by anti-aircraft

they did have a hard job to meet
the masses Of Germans who came on in
denser formation than ever before
yet all reports show that they fought
magniticently. For example. south OF
St. Quentin one of our divisions had
to bear up against the repeated as
saults Of no fewer than SIX German
divisions, possibly 10000 men. and only
when the assaults ceased with dark
ness did our troops withdraw to strong
positions behind the canal system be-
tween st. Quentin and the Disc.
at is estimated that altogether
nearly 1900 Germans participated in
the offensive. The enemy fought we'll
and his gunners did good service. The
quicknesss with which the guns were
brought forward into No Mans Land
after the infantry had advanced was
marked. He had in many places the
advantage over us in positions and he
was at all points largely superior in
numbere'
