the front lines, who checked the ad- vance of the Germans, while artil- lery, machine gun and rifle fire worked appalling slaughter among the masses of German infantry as they were sent forward, thus enab- ling the main body of the British to fall back deliberately and without confusion.
 ENGLISH ARMY CONSERVED
 This army, it is declared, has been conserved and up to the pres ent very few counter attacks have been made against the Germans. Where the British have stormed the Germans newly acquired positions they have driven them back. But each mile of advance makes the bringing up of supplies to the Ger man artillery and infantry more and more difficult and unquestion- ably the British strategy, as dem- onstrated since the beginning of the great attack, is to let the en- emy, so far as he may, wear himself out against a powerful defense.
 ENGLISH HOLDING SECTORS
 On the battle line in France the sanguinary struggle still is going on with the British troops on most of the sectors apparently holding their own, but with the Germans at salient points still pressing for ward.
 The town of Chauny, southwest of St. Quentin, situated on the road to Compiegne, the gateway to Paris, has been occupied by the Germans and, according to the Berlin official communications, everywhere between the Somme and the Disc rivers the Germans are pressing their advantage.

CANADIANS GAS AND
 LOMBARD ENEMY IN
 INTENSIVE ATTACKS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

CANADIAN HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE. Thursday, March 21-(By Canadian Press)-While German and British troops were struggling far to the south in the opening clash of the spring campaign, the greatest projec- tor gas bombardment of the war was carried out by the Canadians tonight against enemy positions between Lens and Hill No. 70.
 Use 5000 Drums of Gas
 At Il o'clock signal rocket was sent up. A moment later more than 5000 drums of lethal gas, simultaneously re- leased rom projectors, were hurled in- to enemy territory from the outskirts of Lens to Cite St. Auguste and Bois de Dix-Huit. From his front lines and strong points, favoring winds carried the poisonous clouds back upon the enemys dugouts, supports, reserves and assembly areas. The whole front was lit by enemy flares which could be seen through the heavy mist, while the enemys gas alarm and cries of dis tress could be heard from the hostile trenches.
 Great Bombardment Famous
 Nine minutes later the Canadian field artillery supported by heavy gun. and trench mortars, opened up with 2 bombardment, increasing in violence until 40 minutes later. the enemy posi-. tions were swept with a short, inten. sive creeping barrage, with raked hi. forward and rear areas with high ex. plosives.
 Heavy Damage Inflicted
 Caught by the gas without a mo ments warning and caught again a, they were emerging from their shel ters by gunfire, the Germans casual ties must have been very heavy, fo the effectiveness of smaller gas oper ations had been emphatically prove, by the evidence of prisoners and to nights bombardment was three time greater than anything of it's kind eve attempted by the Canadians on tn western front and much greater thai anything ever launched by the Ger mans.

GENERAL MARCH
 KNOWS NOTHING . IT HUNS CLAIMS
No Confirmation of Report
 Americans Have Been Used as Reserves Back of the British Line Received
Republican A. p. Leased Wire]


 WASHINGTON, March 24.-No con-. firmation of German reports that American troops have participated in the fight on the British front had reached the war department up to a late hour tonight Major General Gen. eral March, acting chief of staff, who and night, said no advices to this ef- feet had been received.
 It was recalled that American rail- way engineers, in training at the Brit ish front, were involved in the Ger man counter attack on the Cambrai some months ago; but there has been nothing to indicate that any other than engineer or other special units have been employed at any time with the British forces.
 Nothing is Given Out
 Officials generally displayed the most eager interest in every item of news as to the. German drive. The government may have received some confidential advices from General Pershing on the situation, but General March said nothing was to be given out
 The intense interest in press reports displayed by President Wilson himself indicated that official information was meager. The Associated Press dis patches were transmitted to him dur ing the evening.
 The official British and German re- ports were taken here as showing that a second phase of the great battle had begun and was continued throughout the day with no decisive result It ap- 7eared that the British line in gen. | eral was still intact at the close of the day.
 Settles All Gun Doubts
 The announcement from Berlin that Paris had been bombarded by long range guns seemed to settle any doubt there had been as to what transpired in the French capital yesterday and today. The range of the new weapon 76 miles-exceeds anything ever dreamed of by ordnance experts here so far as known.
 Whatever the Germans may have ! discovered in the way of new explo- sives or new gun metal that permits the use of heavier charge of powder without destruction of the weapon it. self it is noted with satisfaction here that the first employment they have given their war monster has resulted in no military advantage whatever The damage in Paris from an all-day Dombardment was insignificant. Left to his own choice, citizen o1 Paris probably would prefer the new gun to airplane bombs.

J holding the line from the region of Arras to the south of St. Quentin, but it daily becomes increasingly evident that the enemy in his. drive has met with opposition not count ed upon and has been unable to realize to the full his objectives.
 CLAIM PERONNE AND HAM
 In addition to Chauny, the Ger mans are claiming the capture of both Peronne and Ham and to have increased the number of prisoners taken to more than 30,000, in addi- tion to 600 guns and large stores of war materials.
 It is claimed also by the Ger mans that American and French regiments which were brought up to reinforce the British have been defeated, but no further informa- tion than this mere statement has been vouchsafed.
 One of the mysteries of the of fensive which has now been solved is that the shelling of Paris is being done by a long range German gun. This statement is contained in the Berlin official communication and a Paris dispatch says that one of the guns has been located near Laon, about 76 miles from the cen ter of Paris. Throughout Sunday morning and into the mid-after- noon shells were dropped in Paris at intervals of from 12 to 20 minutes.
 OTHER FRONTS ARE QUIET
