Thrust Is Failure.

Lond 4, April 22.-Haig's troops
have taken the aggressive on the
southern side of the Lgs battlefront
with quick and decisive results. They
compelled the Germans to give up
the ground in the Givenchy-Fe -Festubert
sector, which were all the enemy
had to show for his costly all day
attacks of Thursday on this front

In counterblow the British at
tanned all detectives, re-establishing
the British line.
The only offensive action by the
Germans was in the Robecq region,
southwest of Merville. The enemy
operation failed completely.
To Determine Foe Strength.
There is possible significance in
raiding operations by the British be.
low the Scarpe river, southeast OF
Arras. Apparently 1t was a feeling
out operation to determine the Ger
man strength. 1t resulted In the TAX.
ing of prisoners, machine guns and
attack was repulsed
1t seems likely that the enemy will
again essay a drive around Arras, al.
though he failed there In the early
stages of the battle. The Germans
must force back the British between
Arras and Albert before they can 60
much further as their right flank is
held fast by the British from Vimy
to Albert
Repulsed by French.
In the sectors OF the southern bat
tlefront held by the French, there was
a continuation OF the heavy artillery
between Lassigny and Noyon toward
the French right flank. The only in
fantry operation was a raiding at
tempt by the Germans near Hangard
southeast OF Amiens, in which the ad
vantage was with the French. who
took prisoners, including an officer.
Prepare For New Battles.
Active lighting operations on 9
large scale have halted while each
side prepares for the next onslaught
II is not improbable that the Ger
mans will again attack, either in Pic
ardy or in Flanders-Artois, while ovel
every move they make hangs the
menace of the Allied reserve army
and a counteroffensive.

Situation On West Front Please.
Military Critics.

MILITARY STttiSs'
Washington. April 22.-Events on
the Western battle front are shaping
themselves, officers here believe. not
only for defeat Of the German drive.
but for a counter-offensive by General
Foch's armies that may open the
road to an Allied military victory.
A wave of optimism has spread
over not only American officials, but
also the military men Of the Allied
nations in Washington. Some OF them
think it will be some days yet be-
fore General Foch can complete his
troop dispositions for a great thrust
at the enemy, but others look for
word that ne has struck at any time.
The news from the battle front was
distinctly cheering. The British lines
In the hard stricken Flanders front
were holding firmly. French reinforce.
ments had arrived there, making
practically certain that the German
drive toward the channel points from
that direction has been defeated.
At the same time. official an.
nouncement came from Rome that
Italian troops were already pouring
into France to share in the crucial
struggle there. This added to the
optimism, for 1t means that the fight
ing men Of France. Italy, Great Brit.
ain, America, Belgium, Portugal and
the Russian units are being massed
under one leader for q mighty blow
when the time cQmes.
