NOUS is being made by the Germans in
their latest effort to break the allied
front in France. The advance against
the line from Noyon to. the eastern
suburbs of Montdidier coming quick
ly after the force of the offensive on
the Aisne had been spent, has en-
countered stern resistance, and 1t Is
only over comparatively short sec
tion Of the line that the enemy has
made appreciable gains. The deepest
penetration reported so far Is ap..
proximately two and three-quarter
miles.
It has been believed since the drive
toward Amiens stopped that Gen.
serves in r.near the area that is now
oeing attacked. Not only are these
troops within striking distance Of the
front. but there are natural obstacles
which also initiate against the entire
success Of the German assault. The
heavy fighting, are but outposts OF the
positions which are prepared along
the Disc river. which bisects the field
upon which the battle will be fought
II the first lines Of defense are over

Russia, Serbia and Rumania, is again
at work. If the thrust just west Of
Noyon succeeds in gaining extensive
ground it will approach the line from
Soissons to Chateau-Thierry, and
retirement from the position taken up
by the allies there would be forced.
On the other hand, ifthe drive gains
ground farther west it will out1ank
the positions held by the French and
Americans at Montdidier, and compel
their readjustment, with the resultant
uncovering Of Amiens.
The wings. however, seem to be
holding firmly and the only gains so
far made have been in almost the
center of>the line. where they are least
