London, March 28.-"Severe fighting took place
again yesterday evening and during night astride
the the Somme and northward from Albert to Boy
elles Repeated attacks made by the enemy
along the valley of the Somme and in the neighbor
hood of Beaumont Hammel, Puisieux and Moyenne-
vile. They were repulsed. We captured number
of prisoners and number of machine guns.
"The fighting is continuing fercely both

'This morning the enemy opened heavy bonn

Paris March 28.-"The battle was fought with
sustained violence yesterday evening and last night
The Germans, blocked by the valiant French troops
and cruelty punished before the Lassgny and Noy-
fronts and the left bank of the river Oise,
centrated all their efforts the French left and
threw forward important forces in the region of
Montdider.
"At this point the engagements developed
unheard of ferocity. French regiments, fighting
hand to hand, inflicted heavy losses upon their assa
ants, and did not falter. Finally they withdrew in
order to the heights Immediately to the west of
Montdidier.
There has been intermittent cannonading on
the remainder of the front"

kindness to address me regarding
the victory over the British army.
Trusting in our splendid troops,
we ventured the great battle.
Proud to be fighting under the lead

London, March 81 "wednesday
-"England, in considering her
losses in the fighting in France,
must take into consideration the
usual German exaggeration," Ma
chief director of military operations
at the war Office, said today.
In the past" he declared, the
Germans have usually given the
capture of prisoners and guns in
round numbers, not as actually
counted, but as anticipated from
the general situation. 1t is reason
able to assume that the same thing
is being done now
"Our total loss of guns, either
from falling into the hands of the
enemy or by being knocked out, is
about six hundred, according to the
best information. THIS compares
with the German claim of $50.
Probably the same ratio holds
good regarding German claims OF
prisoners, and it must be remem-
bered that the Germans count OF
prisoners includes many of our
wounded whom we were unable to
take with us.
I'VE have lost probably about
100 tanks, which we used exten-
sivelv in the counter attacks"

Moscow, Tuesday, March 90
(By the Associated Press.) - The
situation in Ukraine presents one of
the most intricate questions aris-
ing from the cessation of war in
the east. Dissatisfaction with the
peace terms is widespread among
the peasants and workmen, and is
being aggravated by German re-
quisitions of grain, sugar and 9TH
chief legislative body of Ukraine,
passed a vote of want of confidence
in the Ukrainian government after
the signing of the peace treaty. The
high handed treatment of Ukrain-
ians by the Germans, leading to a
conflict with the German comman-
der at Kiev, resulted in the resig-
nation of M. Petlura, a member of
the government and eventually may
lead to an open break.

All motor cars, carts and wagons
