There was considerable activity
on both sides at different points on

The Germans bombarded our
lines, directing their fire chiefly
against our positions on both sides

and in the sectors of Lens, Fes-

More German Strategy
A dispatch from the Frencl
armies in the field says that by
constantly extending their drives
into sectors the Germans un
questionably hope to exhaust th'
French reserves, which already are
sustaining the British armies cleal

These tactics make it imperative
that America rush troops as fast as
possible.
There are numerous indication.
that the Germans are preparing fol
fresh drive between Amiens anC
Arras harmonizing with their system
of exploiting drives when successful
and abandoning those where the
enemy successfully resists. This, the
German strategists believe, permits
them to avoid useless sacrifices, but
they maintain their temporarily
abandoned drives in a condition per.
mitting immediate resumption Of the
offensive.
From the Ailette River to the
North Sea only two offensive sectors
remain-between Amiens and Arras

SUBS REPORT WEATHER
CONDITIONS TO GERMANY

London.-How do the Germans OBJ
tain the accurate knowledge, which
they are known to possess, of wealth
er conditions in England. Is often
asked here. This knowledge is es-
| sential for them in their air raids
and captured documents show thai
their meteorological reports are fairly
complete, despite the fact that nc
publication OF weather data or fore
casts is permitted In English news
papers.
An English meteorological expert
declares that the answer to the uues-
ton is not through any system Of
spies and land wireless, but that the
data is derived from observations
taken by submarines.
The important point for the Ger
mans, he says, is to know the wealth
er conditions or the northwest coast
OF Ireland and he thinks that a sub
marine working in that place is de-
tailed to send weather reports 70
