Washington Doubts Big
Assault Is Real Offensive

Washington. March 81. Even
word from London that the drive
launched to-day by the Germans on
the west front is on a larger scale
than undertaken there since the war
began has failed to convince Ameri-
a military observers that the long
heralded German offensive is at
hand. They are waiting for the full
scope of the enemy action against
both British and French fronts to be
made clear. and still believe that the
logic of the situation points away
from a German offensive in the west
at this time.

er Scarpe, and at last reports sangui-
nary fighting was in progress as far
south as the region of Hargicourt
and as far north as B~ullecourt.
Attack Cambria Salient
The early stages Of the battle
would seem TO indicate that the enemy
was trying to drive a wedge on both
sides of the Cambria salient and
pinch it off. A keen struggle has
been proceeding in the neighborhood
of Bullecourt and Lagnicourt and
south of the salient near Hargicourt
and Ronssoy.
The British had been looking for
this attack to-day. Not only have
prisoners declared that yesterday
or to-day would mark the beginning
of the offensive on this front but
there were abundant signs of an
enemy smash against this sector,
which was the scene of the last great
battle in the British theatre. That
the Germans were as thoroughly pre-
pared as possible was well known,
and as a consequence the British had
taken extensive steps to meet the
blow.

at British headquarters, telegraph
ing this evening. Our counter mea
ures have not yet developed" the
correspondent adds. Therefore it
is difficult to define the position.
Apparently the enemy's purpose has
been to launch converging attacks
upon the two TANKS of the Flesqui-
eres salient. in the hope of cutting it
off.
On Largest Scale Ever
London. Mar. 21.-The German
attacks against the British lines to-
day was on a larger scale than any
made thus far during the var on any
part of the western front. Andrew
Bonar Law, spokesman of the gov
eminent, told the house of commons
to-day.
"Our outpost troops" he added
have been withdrawn on one part OF
the line which was very lightly held.
This was nothing more than was
expected, and was in accordance with
instructions. There was nothing in
the nature of a surprise attack about
it,"
Warned the House
Mr.. Bonar Law reminded the house
that he had given warning a week
ago that if such an attack occurred
the attacking party would gain a
certain amount of ground and the
governments information so far did
not lead to the belief that anything
beyond that had happened.
Il am sure that with the knowl-
edge before hand of what has hap
pened in similar attacks on either
side." continued Mr.. Bonar Law,
"the house and country will not be
unnecessarily alarmed by informa.
ton Of that kind. Our staff and the
Versailles council naturally have been
considering what might happen in
the event of an attack. And | may
] tell the house that this attack has
been launched on the very part OF
our line we were informed would be
attacked, if an attack were under
taken at all.
II may say that only three days
ago we received information at the
cabinet from headquarters in France
that they had definitely arrived al
the conclusion that an attack would
be launched Immediately. and as they
were prepared to meet it. the coun'
