Washington, March 26. -
Unofficial reports reached
Washington late this afternoon
to the effect that American
troops were now engaged with
the British and French in an
effort to stem the German adj
vances. The war department
is awaiting information from
General Pershing.
A lengthy code dispatch
from abroad was received at
the war department this even
ing, but its contents were care
fully guarded. Officials refus-
ed to make any comment con-
corning its nature.
Washington awaits the coun-

At the war department and
among the military attaches OF
the allied missions here there
are pronounced refexes from
the reports emanating from
London and Paris that big
events are in the making and
will change the outlook materi-
ally.
Where the counter-o offensive
