 The enemys plans seems to be to deliv- CT succession of hammering blows at different points between the Son1me and the sea, with the desire of bringing about a British evacuation of the entire north ern district of France.

GERMAN ADVANTAGE


 The Germans, owing to their possess sion of interior lines of communication inside the semicirce formed by the front, are able to move their strategic reserves with greater facility than the allies, and thus by surprise attacks with rapidly concentrated superior forces can compel the retirement of the allies at any point. Hitherto, owing to the great tenacity of the allies, the enemy has been unable to carry out his plans of advance according to his prearranged programme This has been learned from orders cap- tured on prisoners who have fallen into allied hands in considerable numbers these latter days during close fighting. These orders foresaw the capture of the line along the I-ys river on April 9, while Betnune should have been taken on April 10, but it was saved by the won derful defense of the British at Givenchy
 RESEMBLES MARINE BATTLE
 There is a remarkable parallel be- tween the present battle and the oper- arions after the battle of the Marne, when there was a race toward the sea between the Germans, who were en- deavoring to reach and seize the chan mel ports and the allies, who suc- ceeded in preventing them The Brit isk on this occasion have the task of stopping the German push and, al- though forced under overwhelmins strength of the German armies to re- cede some distance. they are present. ing stern resistance to further ad- vance.
 On the French portion of the bat tie line the principal fighting is progressing on the sectors toward Amiens, where the Germans persist in trying to pierce the line in order tc obtain the moral victory of takins Amiens, but they are unable to over ceme the opposition of the French During last night the battle here ceased a moment. enemy assaults be- lhs immediately followed by French counter attacks, which resulted in the recapture of the important village ot Hansard with number of prisoners
