ALLIES A STEEL WALL
Front Is No Longer a Chain With
Weak Links.
Latest Enemy Attack Against Ameri
cans Revealed SoiidIty Of Defense
Against German Hords.

French Army Headquarters. .--Addi-
tlonal details have been received of
the violent attack the enemy made on
an American regiment Tuesday. The
Americans lately had taken position
In the front line, before Grivesnes and
West Montddier, with the French.
Divisions of the latter were to the
right and left After a strong pre-
limlnary bOmbardment. which began at
I o'clock In the evening and lasted
about two hours, an enemy force of
about three battalions advanced TO the
attack.
After some hot fighting, in which the
American casualties were fairly heavy,
the Germans were driven back to their
lines. leaving behind them five prison
ers and a considerable number Of dead.
The French say that our men
fought with great courage and deter
mnation, but that, after all, is what
we knew we were to expect Of them,
and the reason for drawing attention
to the incident is that this Is the most
important engagement in which the
soldiers Of the United States have TAX
en- part The American blood shed
here In the defense Of the road to
Amlens Is an earnest of the fact that
they definitely have joined the great
battle and have taken their stand In
force side by side with the allies in
France IN the fight for freedom.
From now on the enemy will front
them and will find no longer the armies
of -four different nations divided from
one another by water tight compart-
ments, but one invlncible force Of
French, British, Belgians, Portuguese,
and perhaps Italians brok.
en- by no delicate points of liaison, but
welded together into one homogeneous
'hain with Interchangeable links.

Heavy Fire Along Lys Sector.
Haig Betters His Position.

London. The Germans, having me-
with reverse in their operations on
the northern side of the Flanders
salient, where the French and British
have stood shoulder TO shoulder In de
fense OF Ypres and the high ground
which forms bulwark In front of the
channel ports, have turned to the
southern side Of the angle in the allied
lines in northern France.
The German artillery seemingly cen,
tered its fire on the line between
Givenchy and the Neippe Forest, and
IL may be that the enemy soon will
launch an attack against this vital
section of the British line.
Dispatches from the British head
quarters tell of a tremendous cannon
ade In the Lys region, which may be
taken to mean the part of the Flanders
battlefield at or near Mervllle, where
the Germans made their greatest ad-
vance after the fall of Armentieres
Articles appearing in German news
papers would seem TO indicate efforts
TO prepare the German people for an
announcement that there will be no
immediate attempt to take Ypres. Ex-
perts, writing what may be considered
inspired reviews of the situation, say
nothing would be gained by the cap
ture of the ruined city.
This may mean that the Germans
will turn their attention to some other
part of the front for a new effort, and
the bombardment of the lines near
Merville and farther east may be the
first step in an attempt TO either bore
straight through the allied armies or
to cut through toward the south and
force a British retirement from the
Arras Lens salient. SO far as known
no Infantry fighting has occurred In
this sector in the last day.
While waiting for the Germans to
make the next move the allies have
not been idle All along the line their
patrols have been active, and at Han
gard and Villers- BretonneuX, before
Amiens, they have taken tactical posi-
tlons from the Teutons one of these
positions was Hill 50, north of Castel,
a height which afforded good observa-
ton of the allied communication lines.
