Amiens Drive Continues.
Bv Unietd Press.


With the French Afield April 26,
The Germans are continuing the
development of their attack against
Amiens with increasing violence, aim
ing at the eventual separation Of the
British and French forces.
This indication of IIindenburg's de-
termination to force a supreme de-
cisive contest is unquestionable and
is strengthened by the fact that pre-
ceding the present attack the Cor.
mans have engaged 1,560,OOO men
with which to force the final issue.
The German drive toward Amiens is
increasing.
In the meantime the allies have
had time to take the greatest precau-
tions against the success Of such
drive. A victorious outcome Will
likely rest with the side having the
best generalship, the most munitions
and the most reserves.
AS a result of the unifying Of the
allied command, General Foch is con
sistently opposing the present attack
with the minimum forces necessary,
preferring the loss of ground to the
useless sacrifice of his reserves.
