British Beet Foe
Back With Heavy
Loss at Four Points

LONDON, April 5.-The Germans this
morning attacked the British forces on
Il wide front from Dernancourt, a few
miles south of Albert, to Moyenneville,
north OF the Somme, according to a
statement published by THE Evening
Standard"
The chief points of attack, the news
paper says, were Dernancourt, Menin,
Beaumont Hamel, Briegury and
Moyenheville.
The Germans were repulsed with
heavy losses except at Dernancourt,
where they made slight gain.
There has been no attack south of
the Somme SO far to-day, the statement
says.
Fighting yesterday was on a consid-
eraD.e scale. The Germans employed
twenty divisions, their attacking force
being twice as great as that of the
Anglo-trench armies defending the
line. Thus there was much larger
draft Of the enemy reserves than on
those of the Allies.
North of the Somme, at Albert, the
enemy attack failed completely, and on
the British front the enemy was held
everywhere, except at Hamel. South OF
out of the angle formed by the rivers
Ayre and Luce.
he enemys object here is to get
astrlde OF the railway south Of Amiens.
So far he has failed and, considering
the large forces employed by him, the
results cannot be considered as encour-
aging to the enemy. At the same time
the British position covering Amiens is
at no greater distance from the town.
Thus any loss of ground at this point
must be regarded as serious.
No Austrian or RuO1riaO trNODc q ra
engaged on the Western front, but an
examination Of shell fuses show that
few Austrian guns are being used.
1t is known that some German troops
were brought from Salonica, which may
have given rise to the report that Bull
garians and Austrians are fighting in
France.
The Germans who yesterday resumed
their attempt to reach Amiens and to
separate the Anglo-French armies and
are still fighting for these detectives
have, according to official reports, thus
far failed to widen the salient which
T is necessary for their security. The
Teutons have, however, made some
slight advance on the direct road to
Amiens.
Both the British and French official
statements admit slight Withdrawals
southeast OF the city Of Amiens, but
Or both wings of the battlefront the
Entente Allied troops have succeeded
in repulsing all German attacks.
England is calmly watching on the
maps the result of this latest offensive,
and every scrap OF news about it is
read eagerly.
Our difficulties and those of the
enemy are fairly obvious" says "The
Standard" 1--WE are suffering from a
very heavy blow dealt to General
Coughs army. The enemy on his side
finds that the salient created through
that local success is too narrow for
his purpose. A good many people no
doubt experienced certain disap-
pontmcnt that no great reaction on
the part of the Allies followed the
exhaustion of the German effort. 1t
should be remembered that the battle
is only in its earliest stages, and moth
ing would please the enemy comman-
dcrs better than premature employ
ment of the reserves"

LONDON, April 5.-Remarkable in.
tensity has been reached at times BY
the opposing artillery along the Piaye

at Rome to-day. The Italian shells
caused great fire in the hostile posi-.
tons. Gangways opposite GRAY were

The enemy increased his bombardment
on the Asiago Plateau and the italian

were frequent patrol encounters.
The text of the statement reads:
along the mountainous portions Of

Of Mount Ortlcr. and our artillery en-.
gagged marching troops and transport

Germans ATTEMPT
ConUergir,g Movement
On I our, of Corbie

LONDON, April 5.-After a heavy
bombardment of our lines from great
concentration OF his mobile artillery
the enemy infantry attacked our posi-
tons at about O'Clock yesterday morn
ing, says a Reuters dispatch from the
British headquarters in France. The
usual principle of attacking in dense
waves was followed by the Germans.
The assault was over wide front, and
appears to have had for its object a
converging movement on the town Of
Corbie.
Along a greater part of the front the
Germans were held, and lost very heav-
lily through machine gun and rifle fire,
the dispatch continues, but in the neigh
borhood of Hamel little salient in our
line was Strengthened out under heavy
pressure by the enemy The first
counter attack delivered by the British
troops was not in sufficient weight to
restore the position.
Among the German units fighting on
the Somme the famous Brandenburg
Corps has been identified Although
the enemy has used all the artillery he
could concentrate, his fire has not been
particularly heavy as bombardments go
nowadays. He has trusted mainly to

IL, Brilliant Fiiehf
tBy Tho Associated Press

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
FRANCE, April 4.-Thursday night, al
though calm reigned generally over the
French front, owing to unfavorable
weather conditions which prevented fly
ing and observation. a sharp little en-
gagement was fought in the vicinity of
Plemont, near Lassigny, where few
days ago the Germans made determined
efforts to break through.
The correspondent went all over the
front line trenches in this sector dur
ing the, course of the afternoon and
saw evidences of terrific fighting Hun
dreds Of bodies of Germans were still
lying among the broken barbed wire
defences and woods and in the park
surrounding the castle Of Pressier de
Roye.
This latter place, with the village
of the same name, was in the hands
Of the Germans for some time on
March so, when they attacked there ut
the same time that they made an as
Sault on Plemont. These are the two
most, important points of observation
IN this region, giving views Of the
country for miles around.
French Regain Positions
A German reserve division by flank
movement through almost impossible
marshes obtained a footing in the park.
where after severe combat thew took
100 French prisoners At the same mo-
ment the 103d Division managed to
get footing on the top Of Fremont,
but overlooked a French observation
post where four men were stationed
beneath their feet, as we'll as a majors
command post nearby. The major. with
servants, telephone operators and run
ners, made dash for the observation
post and defended themselves there.
Ihey kept their comrades, from whom
the enemy's movements. AS
Shortly afterward Counter attacks
we're made on both places by the
irchcn. Some companies of Colonial
troops, Alpine Chausscurs and an in
2antry regiment, in a most dashinu
manner, made envelopng movements
around the chateau and Plcmont Hill.
Ihey recaptured the latter and made a
clean sweep Of all occupants Of the
PARK, where they took 700 unwounded
and large numbers Of wounded pris-
oners and delivered one hundred Of
thelr own comrades from captivity.

SHe'o n'o" tHdt thclr OBJECTIVE for
March 80 was an advance of more than
ten miles toward Compiegnc on the
way to Paris. Not only had they not
accomplished this. but had left an
enormous percentage Of their electives
killed, wounded or prisoners.
Inc opinion is quite general among
the Allied forces that the Germans will
attempt another great push before Civ
ing up as failure their effort to make
a break in the Allied lines. The utmost
confidence is felt regarding the final
outcome Of this gigantic battle, the
hrst phase Of which has been complct-
ed. The spontaneous offer to send
American troops to the battle line to
tight side by side with the other Allies
has aroused the greatest enthusiasm
among the soldiers at the front, who
express the certainty that the Ameri
cans' help will have considerable
weight in the struggle.

the only success attained was the
driving of salient oi about 1000
yards wide to an extreme depth of
1000 yards.
Among the fourteen German d.

were some of the best corps, includ-
ing the LIST Prussian Guards, COM

WASHINGTON, April 5.-The APP
pointment OF Sir Henry Rawlinson to

Of the British Fifth Army brought to
Washington the first intmation Of
what actually happened in the great
battle which has been raging in France
for the last fortnight.
The removal of general from COM

discipline, and there is no mistaking
what it signifies. The Fifth Army, I'M
der General. Cough, occupying tho
British right wing, near the junction
with the French, was cut to pieces. The
replacing OF Cough means that it was
not the mere weight Of guns which the
Germans were able to mass against
the Allies, though this was appalling
that explained the destruction or capt
ure of the Fifth Army. German mill
tary correspondents during the first
two or three days Of the great offensive
kept repeating charges of bad British
generalship in accounting for the Ger

pointment of new army commander
