London, May 22.-The enemy'a
preparations for an offensive are be-
ing disturbed by the allies, who con
tinue to deliver successful thrusts
With the knowledge that the pass
ing of each day brings new Amerl-
can legions to help crush the next
German offensive, the allies are ind
ing satisfaction in the fact that the
Germans have as yet been unable to
launch a new blow In the struggle
which Berlin had expected to be the
decisive one of the war.
For the most part, the Germans
have shown but little Of their habit
ual fighting spirit along the line in
France. They have been thrust back
in four sectors and the allies have
succeeded in winning ground which
will be of great Importance in the fu-
ture.
The attacks by the French near
Locre, on the northern side of the
Lys salient, and of the Australians
before Amiens, which have already
been reported, now appear to have
been more successful than was at
first understood. Near Locre the
French have not only taken strongly
fortified points, but they have made
secure their lines on each side of
Hill A, which they recaptured from
the Germans recently. The Australi-
ans, too, have won ground which is
of tactical Importance along the
Amlens sector. They have gained
higher ground, which lends itself well
to defensive tactics and will be valu-
able when the time comes for stern
battle there.
The French still seem to be the
most active of the forces of the Ell.
tente nations. They have again en-
gagged in raiding operations near
Lassigny, on the flank of the German
line as it stands since the advance
toward Amiens.
On the American 'front.' there has
been the usual lively exchange Of
artillery fire, but no fsiiasstay t aggilhs, =.
