and Split Allied Line
NAY BE THRUST FOR PARIS

Washington, May 28.-Mi!itary men
here are without sufficient informa-
tion about the new German drive on
the Aisne front to form conclusive
views as to what developments are
to be expected. In spite Of the wide
front of attack and the large forces
used by the enemy there still was
doubt in the minds Of most officers to-
night whether 4 real thrust toward
Paris by new route was in progress,
or W'-"thcr the blow is only bloody
strategic move to pave the way for
later renewal of the effort to crush
the British army and split the allied
line near Amiens.
On Che basis Of accounts SO far re-
ceived the opinion prevailed that no
substantial success had yet awarded
the German effort. In the north,
around I.ocre, he has evidently suf-
tered complete repulse.
Reports Unsatisfactory
1t was admitted however, that re-
porth from the Aisne front in the
south were unsatisfactory in that they
showed little or nothing of what is
transplrlng beyond the fact that a
crossing of the Aisne had been forced
