This has been another day of most
desperate and sanguinary fighting
along the whole front of the new bat
tie zone. In fact in the northern Sec
tor there has been no cessation in the
awful work since yesterday morning.
The Germans have continued to
hurl great forces of infantry into the
conflict, depending largely on weight
OF numbers to overcome the increas-
ing opposition offered by the hero
ically resisting British.
On the northern wing of the Of
fensive the enemy this morning
brought up additional troops after an
all night struggle of the fiercest ma
ture and renewed his efforts to break
the British front in the region of

attempt Is being made to extend the

Washington, March 25.--The Ger
man drive at the British lines ap-
pcared TO be slowing under the pol
icy OF elastic defense pursued by
Field Marshal Haig, according to the
opinion of allied and American army
officers here, based on the official
statements from London, Paris and
Berlin. The greatest battle of tho
war, thus far, they believe, is enter
ing its second stage with the Ger
man forces facing an increasingly
stubborn resistance. The outcome OF
this stage may not be discernible for
several days.
q The attitude of American military
authorities was officially stated by
Major General March, acting chief of
staff. He said:
No Cause for Alarm.
THE war department sees no
cause for alarm on the part of the
people of the United States. Sir
Douglas Haig has announced that the
British Withdrawal was in accord.
ance with a definite plan. The an
nouncement is to be accepted"
Similar confidence of the ultimate
defeat of the German effort was ex-
pressed by Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood
before the senate military committee.
and Major General MacLachlin. Brit.
lsh military attache, voiced the feel
ing of British officers here as to the
work of their comrades in France in
statement noting that nothing re-
sembling a break in the British lines
yet had been achieved by the Ger
man rush.
No Reported Americans.
Repeated reports of the parlicipa-
tton of American troops in the battle
presumably with the French on tho
British right flank, caused General
March to say that neither General
Fershing nor General Bliss had re.
ported on this point.
There was much speculation here
today as to the purpose of the Ger |
man leaders in pressing the main at
tack in the direction of Amens. The |
capture of Nesle, admitted in London,
indicates this to be the apex Of the !
great wedge that Is being forced in,o |

OFFENSIVE, YEARS BIG EVENT.

The British drive in Pcardy is increasing in magnl
tude With an advance of twelve miles and the capture
of twenty thousand prisoners and vast amount of war
materials the offensive is rapidly becoming of the
big events of the 1918 fighting The losses the part Of
The Germans from all sources probably in the neigh
borhood of thirty thousand since the drive began and this
with rifling losses on the part of the allies With the
Germans in full retreat the degree being almost that OF
a rOut how great the advance will be not even be
guessed at now. Under usual circumstances 1T would
be expected that Hndenburg would rush reserves to ad
the somewhat demoralized armies Of Crown Prince Rupp
rech but that is where Hndenburgs problem comes in
He has no place from which to draw them without eav
ing that place in danger His only is to call
home from Russia and other eastern points the soldiers
used there to save the situation the western front
The rapid changing of the man power is illustrated in
the last two days fighting The Germans have lost prob
ably thirty thousand while the Americans have increased
the forces of the allies by twenty thousand There is
gain of fifty thousand in two days. and that is some
army in itself General Foch has played the game care
fully and has never overbdden his hand and he will prob
ably follow this plan to the end If it were not for this
well known policy of his would expect big force
thrown on the heels Of the rereating Teutons and
smashing through the partially denoraized enemy Such
were the oldme tactics and such opportunity would
nothaye been neglected in the od-tme wars However,
the people of all the allied countries content to let
General Foch do just he peases and this because sol
far he has always done the right thing at the right time
and has never lost his head The OF the coming
few days should prove of more than usual interest be-
cause the opportunities for decisive action apparently
open and some permanent results may be obtained There

ready to smash through there whenever Foch gives the
word.
