lsh filers are illustrated we'll by two
rather ordinary battles which took
place yesterday. One British fight
er, when attacked by ten German
Albatrosses, stood them all off and
brought down one before he retired
in safety. Another British machine
was attacked by nine German tri-
planes. The pilot returned after 4
hot fight in which he brought down
one of the enemy.
These are not exceptional cases,
and there is little doubt that the air
service has played an important part
in stemming the German sweep.
The British artillerymen have
been doing magnificent work. On
the first day in many instances the
gunners fired with open sights at {,
range of thousand yards or less
and did terrible execution among the
enemy. One very heavy concentra-
ton of German infantry near Nor
chies was completely smashed by
this style of firing. Not only did
the British stick TO their firing 10
the last possible moment, but they
got their guns back, when it became
necessary, with extraordinary skill.
The correspondent to-day heard Of
one battery which kept firing until
the Germans were only twenty-five
yards away and then fell back, with
every gun safe.
Hold on Right Wing
News received from the extreme
right wing is that the Allies are
holding well. (This refers to the
southern sector, where the French
have been falling back.)
Near Beaumont the enemy
attacked heavily. Severe fighting
followed. This morning it appeared
that the village virtually was No
Mans Land, with the contending
lines drawn close on either side.
Hard fighting occurred at several
points along the battlefront during
the night in consequence of enemy
attacks. The latest reports indicate
that the British have kept the stu
alton we'll in hand.
The Germans made several as
saults near Rossignol Wood, but on
each occasion were driven back.
Near Sailly-Laurette another sharp
engagement occurred, and here also
the British maintained themselves
and obtained prisoners.
The Germans are continuing to
bring up artillery and rush in new
troops from various parts Of the line
in preparation for the continuance
of the drive.
The German artillery this morn
ing put down an intense lombard
ment along the front between Ache
vile and the Souchez River (south
of Lens), but up to the time Of the
filing of this dispatch (1O a. n.y. no
infantry action had been reported.
New-York tribune., 1918-03-29
British Want
American Troops

One object the British Premier NAV
have in mind is to secure action upon
a request the British made in January
for considerable number of American
troops to be added to the British army
in small units. AS the plan was orig
inally proposed no American officer Of
higher rank than a colonel would have
accompanied these men to the front.
The troops would have been used to di-
lutte the British forces by ~uttinf our
comparatively green men into line along
with the experienced British forces. In
that way the British army would not
have been weakened and our own men
would have been made promptly avail
able. The British would have armcd
these and they would have supplied
shipping to transport them.
1t is needless to inquire why the
British would have spared shipping to
transport men for this purpose but not
for the purpose Of merely adding to our
army in France. Their reasons have
not become known. The Administra-
tion never acccded to the request. Re-
Gently it is said to have been renewed
in the form of a suggestion that the
American troops proceed to France in
divisions, plan that was probably
more agreeable to army authorities,
who were probably averse to seeing the
American units lose their identity in
the dilution process. 1t is not known
whether the existing emergency will
cause the Administration to yield to
this request of the British. It is be,
lieved here that it will.

IN FRANCE, Wednesday, March

French held well, resisting all the
German efforts.

it was impossible to approach the

continued advance of the Germans,
the battle has become more or less
stabilized in the past two days. The

all hazards. On the knowledge of this
German strategy is based. That
strategy is plain now. 1t aims at bend
ing the Allied line near the centre till
i. breaks, or till the lines Of communi-
cation in the rear are taken.
Lloyd Georges sensational appeal to
the American poor,a read by the Brit
ish Ambassador in New York last
night suggests that the British Prem 'er
believes that the Allies will stave off
the defeat which the Germans are try
ing to deliver now, but the failure of
the Allied forces, exhausted by their
present efforts, will be dark unless
American efforts to enter the. war ef-
fectively are greatly accelerated. Moth
ing that America can do now will af-
feet the present situation in France.
Germany will either succeed in her plan
to bend the Allied line, fastened firmly
as it is on each end, until it breaks, or
a counter move of the Allies will thrust
the invaders back within the next few
days. The present anomalous situation
of the British-French line cannot last.
All the rules of the books are against it.

Foe Attacks South
OF Scarpe Assume
Serious Proportions

LONDON, March 28. - The Reuter-
correspondent at British Headquarters
reports heavy attacks against Arras
day, both to the north and south
of the Scarpe. The attack on The north
speedily died down, but that on the
south assumed serious proportions, and
by II o'clock in the morning dense
waves of the enemy, supported by a
tremendous artillery bombardment,
were reported to have made some ad-
vance.
The barometer is falling and snow
is threatened, according to this corrc-
spondent
In the last twenty-four hours the
Germans have made but one compara-
lively trifling gain as the result of
numerous massed attacks along the
whole front, says an earlier dispatch
from Reuters correspondent. For the
British there may be claimed several
distinct local successes, either in COM
pletely repelling enemy bows or in
wrestling back ground won by counter
attacks.
Although the Germans continue to
use their infantry with ruthless prodi-
gality, the general pressure along the
front is for the moment less deter
mined. This may be attributed in part
to the enemy waiting to bring up heavy

Gez1nan Wedge
Pushed Ten Miles

The taking of Mondidier carried the
German wedge forward nearly ten
miles beyond Roye and meant prog
rcss from st. Quentin Of about thirty
miles since the drive began. 1t
brought the Germans in southwest of
Amiens, and thus near railroads that
are of vital Importance to the Allies.
1t was plain that this was no strateeic
retreat. And it was equally plain that
a counter offensive could not be long
Delayed. The counter blow appears to
have followed quickly upon the latest
advance of the Germans. From a noint

as that which Germany is CARVING for

are reserves available for a counter
movement is indicated by the failure
OF American troops hitherto to partici-

tary men here think that there are
l0o,oo0 American soldiers that might
be thrown into action to upset the Ger

A glance at the man of France show
ing the whole line from the Belgian
coast to the French position at the
angle beyond Laon shows the reasons
Tor the anxiety felt here since the fail

whole Allied position in the north is
now one great salient, with it's apey at
nontdldier, y ont TO hold the Germans the
british and French are occupying two
legs of triangle instead of a straight
line; The line is thus unduly length
ehed. Moreover, the Germans at the
apex at Montdidier threaten the rear
of the whole British line to north from
Montdldier to tho coast. No army
would willingly get itself in that DO

Nothing can be learned of the ap-
pearance of enemy tanks on the British
front, while those left by the retreat
ing British were systematically de-
stroyed, the correspondent reports.
The enemy is continuing to bring
troops from far and near to replenish
his reserves and along wide stretches
the German front is held by mere
screen of troops.
The British setback occurred on the
Somme and the Scarpe. The Germans
succeeded in crossing the Somme from
the north to south in the neighborhoo
of Chapilly. compelling the British to
fall back on the Hamel line, bringing
the Germans nearer to their objective
-Amlens. This will be regarded with
less anxiety here than the new Ger
man move against Arras, where the
British line has hitherto held firmly.
The Germans made attacks both north
and south of the Scarpe. The former
seems to have failed, but the southern
attack was successful. forcing the Brit

Lloyd Georges Appeal Re-
garded as Showing
Grave Situation
Enemy Thrust Causes
Anxiety in Capital
French Attack on the Left
Flank May Be Start
of Offensive
Bv G. w. Gilbert

WASHINGTON, March 2S.--Here are
the main elements in the war situation
as they appear IN this capital:
1. The blow of the French on the left
flank OF the German wedge thrust
through Montdidier, which started to-
day, is probably the main counter Of
fcnsive Of the Allies.
3 The advance of the Germans to
Montdidier makes the situation of the
Allies extremely critical. as the Ger
distance of highly important line Of
communications of the Allies. The
situation is not without hope, for u
counter offensive, it is expected here.
Will entirely relieve it.
3. The message OF Lloyd George read
by Lord Reading in New York, ad-
dressed to the American people over
the heads of the Administration, was
prompted by the gravity OF the mill
tary situation.
4. One object of it was probably to
influence the Administration to grant
American troops to the British, asked
for several weeks ago, but not yet con-
ceded The British offered to TRANSPORT
these troops.
The news that the Germans had again
thrown back one section of the Allied
line about ten miles shattered the hope
yesterday that the German drive had
exhausted itself and that the English
and French had at last reached posi-
tions which they could hold. 1t did
not destroy the confidence felt here in
the ultimate defeat of the German eff
fort, but it greatly increased the anx-
iety which has prevailed for the last
week
