Germans Plant
Cur, Euery IL Yards
Along One Sector
I BY The Associated Pressl

BRITISH ARMY HEADQUARTERS
IN FRANCE, March % g p. m.).-The
Germans to-day continued their assault
against the positions in the Cambria
sector, notably in the region of Croi-
stiles and Hargicourt. At least 6rty
divisions have been identified on the
battle front. No such concentration Of
artillery has been seen since the war
began.
On the southern battlefield bitter
struggle was waged to-day. The enemy
had 900 guns in one small sector
one for every twelve yards. Severe
fighting was proceeding this morning
in st. Leger, southwest of Croisilles.
Though the fighting is still contnu-
ing, the first stage of the offensive has
passed 7 he enemy has failed badly in the
execution of his programme, as is at
tested by captured documents, showing
what he planned to do in the carly
hours of his offensive.
Vigorous counter attacks late yes
terday restored some of the positions
which the British had abandoned tenn
porarily.
One of thc most brilliant British
counter-attacks occurred at Dognies.
The British advanced with infantry and
tanks a, 7 D. m, and after fierce fight
ing drove out the enemy.
The exact British line cannot be
made public at present. The only
reason is that it might furnish the
enemy with valuable information.
The weather is cold and bleak. A
heavy mist in the morning hours made
air reconnaissance impossible. This is
Of advantage to the British, as the
enemy is deprived Of greatly needed
aerial obscrvetion.
The Germans in many sections yes
terday attacked in three waves of in
fantry, followed up by shock troops.
Az Il result they suffered very heavy
Casualties.
The heavily masscd German artillery
has been badly hammered by the Brit
lsh guns.
The hardes1 fighting yesterday in the
northern battle was between the Canal
du Nord and Croisiles. A bright sun
AZ midday to-day rendered observation
/ possible.

I eutons Attack
On Italian Front

LoND,oN, March 22-Fishting ON
the Italian front is increasing in ia. a.
tensity, the Rome War Office announced
to-day. Apparently the Teutons are
making demonstrations against Diaz,s
men with the object of keeping tho
Allies everywhere occupied while the
Offensive against the British devcloDs.
The enemy made an attack in thc
fren2ela Valley, scene of fierce fight
ing last fall, aud succeeded momcn-
tarily in entering the Italian trenches
The raiding detachments, however.
were unable to withstand the Italian
artillery fire and counter attacks and
were Obliged to return to their former
POSITIONS
The artillery fire became stronger at
G.aYallo della Piave, the statement said.
Enemy patrols were routed to the west
OF Val di Concei and the Craze.
Italian, French and British aviators
brought down three enemy arplanes
and forced another to lnnd, while
Italian guns set a captive balloon
afrc south Of Motta di Livenzu.

squadrons in the southern area of the
front were unable to leave the ground
owing to the mist. In the northern
area, where the weather was clear, our
airplanes dropped 3l% tons of bombs
on the dockyards at Bruges and 3i2
tons of bombs on rest billets northwest
of Journal. Ali OF our machines re-
turned.
A supplementary statement issued to-
night by Field Marshal Haig says:
"Our losses inevitably have been con-
siderable, but they have not been out
of proportion to the magnitude of the
battle.
From reports received from all parts
Of the battle feont, the enemy's losses
continue to be very heavy, and his adj
vance everywhere has been made at
great sacrifice.
"Our troops are fighting with the
and all units of every arm behave SO
we'll it is difficult at this stage of the
battle to distinguish instances"
Exceptional gallantry was shown,
however, by the troops Of the oath Di-
vision in q protracted defence at Lever
guicr. and by the Third Division, who
maintained our positions in the neigh
borhood Of Croisilles and to the north
of that village against repeated attacks.
"A very gallant fight was made by
The 5lst Division in the neighborhood
OF the Bapaume Cambria road against
repeated attacks.
"Identitication obtained in the course
of the battle shows that the enemy's
opening attack was delivered by some
forty divisions, supported by great
masses of German artillery, reinforced
by Austrian batteries. Many other
German Aivi ci0pc have since ia Ep, ma

in the battle area
Further fighting OF q most severe
nature is anticipated"

the Champagne.
The earlier statement to-day said the
Germans suffered considerable losses
in penetrating French positions north
of Courcy and north Of the Asne from
which they were quickly driven. The
enemy also lost heavily in attempts 20
advance south of Juvincourt and in the
sector of Godat. A fifth German at
tack was repulsed in the Champagne
west of Mount Carnillet.
The artillery fire was rather heavy,
the statement said, at some points on
the right bank of the Meuse (Nerdun
front) and in the Woevre (where the
principal American sector is situated.
Last nights French communiqu6 told
of three successive Intellectual German
attacks in the sector of Hurlus, and an
other enemy check east of Suippes, be-
sides many violent artillery ducls.
Belgian army headquarters reported
an unusually violent enemy fire, con-
sisting largely of gas shells and long
range projecties, to which King Al
bert's gunners replied "energetically."
New-York tribune., 1918-03-23

avn like Verdun or dominating
position like Vimy or Passchendaele
as their objective, the Germans
chose an extremely wide sector and
tried to smother all the advanced
dcfences by a hurricane of high ex-
plosives and tons of gas shells.
Whether the first thrust was in
tended as the main effort or merely
a.; a diversion to hide the real push
in another sector it is too early to
say.
Unlike other drives, the German
contained no minor element of sur
prise, such as an overwhelming
aerial attack, the explosion of 3
battery of mines or the uncovering
of some weapon like the tank.
1t was merely an unprecedented
struggle between the German and
British artillery and infantry, really
a titanic death grapple in which the
defenders exacted heavy toll for
the little territory they relinquished.
The German militarists resorted
to their early tactics, the only diff
ference being in the numbers and
weight of artillery at their disposal.
The enemy repeated the operation by
which he recovered in December the
ground he had lost at Cambria, but
failed to obtain results commensu-
rate with the effort.
The Germans are using gas shells
constantly. They are of a new type.
Britons await patiently the details
of the colossal struggle. The coun-
try is in serious but confident mood.
1t knows how great are the issues
involved and how heavy price it
must pay, win or lose.
All petty differences disappeared
to-day and the whole moral and ma
terial support of the nation is behind
Haig's gallant army. Nothing else
counts.

TENNIS WONDER

Granddaughter of Fighting
Joe" May Beat Molla Blur
stedt Some Day

Miss Helen Hooker. granddaugh-
ter of General Hooker, and just
turned 1S. with her hair in braid
and her face in one big smile, played
remarkable tennis in the Metro
politan championship tennis events
at Forest Hills. near New York. She
showed that she had speed, power
and head, and she proved that she
had fighting spirit and stamina, too.
In one match she went forty-two
games to win-and the old general
himself could not have done better.
Miss Hooker is probably the fineat
player of her age.
Miss Helene Pollak was another
sensation, especially after her de-
feat of Miss Zinderstein, of Boston,
who came with designs on the title,
which ultimately went to the usual
destination-Miss Molla Bjurstedt.
The latter. who has already won
the title twice. is now defending it
at the Philadelphia Cricket Club
courts. Miss Bjurstedt, national
woman champion, made her first ap-
pearance in the doubles yesterday.
Paired with Mrs. Johann Rogge, of
Norway, she easily defeated Miss
Carolyn Otis. of Bethlehem. Pa. and
Miss Helen LedouX, of Swarthmore,
6-1, 6-2.
The most interesting match was
between Miss Clare Cassell and Mrs
DeForrest Candee, both of New
York, in which Miss Cassell won. 10
