STORY OF BATTLE
AS It WAS SEEN
BY GERMAN EYES
Aus tr OH Hungarian Guns
Helped to Prepare Way for
First Days Onslaught.

AMSTERDAM. Sunday, March a.
Describing the first day Of the battle
on the western front, the correspon-
dent Of the Vosslsche Zeitung says
that the British artillery was held
with "uncanny precision"
1.-THE British strewed their shells
without system over the wide zone OF
attack" he says. "Our guns, sup
ported by cannon and howitzers Of
our Austria-Hungarian allies. had
cleared the way for the infantry. The
German storming troops swung over
the ramparts punctual to the minute
which had been fixed weeks ago and
made great push into the enemy
territory on the same ground over
which the Won Hindenburg retreat took
place year ago.
THE attack westward now went
forward with the old elan and offen-
slve spirit OF 1914. Our battalions
stormed over the ground and broke
the enemy resistance along the entire
line. 1t is declared unanimously that
the British fought bravely. but their
leadership was not equal TO tho
mighty blow. BY evening the British
front had been pushed back on the
whole broad battlefield.
"A thick mist during the morning
hours considerably disturbed our
operations. Curtains OF mist gath
ther 10 thickly that the men serving
the field artillery, which advanced
Immediately behind the infantry.
could hardly see their horses. The
batteries had to take their new oh
jectlves under fire without direct OBJ
servation, and the infantry laborlous-
ly had TO win positions and sectors in
the fog and without any methodical
artillery preparation"
COPENHAGEN, Mach 25.-"The
present German offensive Is only a
link in the great offensive" Gen.
Auffenberg Of the Austrian Armies,
declared in an interview published in
the newspaper Azujsag to-day.
"It win be a long time before the
final result is reached"

GOOD OMEN SEEN
BY THE BRITISH IN
THIRD DAY REPORT
Manchester Guardian OptimiS-
tic Over Decrease in Num-
ber of Prisoners.

LONDON. March 25.-The Man
chester Guardian says a significant
feature of the situation on the battle
front is that after three days fighting
the enemy claims only 5000 prisoners
more than after the second day, which
means that the British withdrawal
after the rupture Of the front west OF
ST Quentin was mado in excellent
order. The newspaper regards this as
a good omen for the future.
The Daily Chronicle says:
Assuming that the German losses
are at least 10000, the enemy has
sustained reverse, for he has not
obtained a strategical success d.
rectly conducting to a decision. while
he has lost or 10 per cent. OF his
effectiveness without similarly lower
ing the efficiency OF the Allies.
"This matter Is OF the greatest i'm
portance, for Germany at present Is
at the critical moment when the man
power pendulum is swinging in favor
Of the Allies. No weakness at the
Anglo French junction has yet been
disclosed and the task before the en-
emy in the next days OF the battle Is
more formidable than that already
accomplished"
THE ultimate object Of this rapid
and intent enemy advance is clearly
the great strategic point of Amiens."
says the Times. "and, though 1t is
still remote, the situation Is suffi-
ciently serious to warrant con-
temptation Of this catastrophe. The
fall of Amiens might have three
fold consequences: 1t would bring
the enemy TO point from which to
threaten our northern line. 1t would
assist them to strike at the channel
ports and It would endanger serious
ly the safety Of Paris"
That Great Britain failed to make q
greater concentration OF men on the
western front is deplored by the
Morning Post, which urges that con-
scription be put into effect in Ireland
to fin the gap.
This great battle" 1t says, teaches
us all the vital nature'of the western
front. It Is here that the war Is be-
ing decided. whst would we give now
for all those glorious legions we have
sent TO the ends OF the earth at the
behest of our amateurs in strategy3
! Even the dazzling glories OF Jeru-
salem fade into insignificance In the
light OF this conflict on the somme,
I'VE have oil along urged that the
western is the decisive front The
skill OF our Generals and the steadi-
ness of our men are now barely en-
abling our armies to hold their own
against this tremendous assault
which our commanders had fore
seen. The most urgent need Is for
men upon the western front They
must be got II our army and our
country are TO be saved. And TO gel
them, one measure above all others
I'VE must apply the National Ser
vice Act 20 Ireland. When we Dc
| that, our Government VIII rest lti
further claims upon this country
upon a rock OF justice as well as o.
necessity"
The Standard says:
"It is some advantage at least Z
have the cold truth. There can be NJ
more illusion about a clean peace
The whole German nation now scents
it's prey. and plunder Is solid behint
Kaiserism. Even the most delude'
must now see what a victory OF mill
tarism would mean"
