ENEMY LOSSES ARE ENORMOUS
Report Reaching Washington Tells How Huns Strip All Bodies of Clothing Which Is Rushed to Rear.
CBv Review Leased WireD


 WASHINGTON, March 30.-Regard- ing the losses sustained by the Ger mans in the battle in Picardy, an of ficial dispatch from France today said:
 At though as yet our information is very incomplete it is certain that the eGrman losses in the battle of the Somme have been enormous. Prison CTS who were questioned on the 25th of March reported for example that the SSth division of infantry was al- most completely annihilated and that the 2O6th division suffered heavily. The losses are chiefly due to the ma chine guns. which installed with de- termined men in shell holes, now down to the very last the dense en- emy formations.
 ''The bodies of both friends and en- emies are stripped as soon as possible by the Germans and left entirely nude. The booty thus obtained by seizing the equipment and clothing is collected and sent to the rear so great is the scarcity of clothing and leather
 "The prisoners when questioned do not conceal their amazement at the very small number of English and French dead which they passed in the hours of the drives progress. Final ly they admit the great surprise of their command is the resistance of the allied troops. They had in fact, prom ised them that all would he over in q few days"

ARMIES BATTLE ON VIDE FRONT
 WITH GERMANS GIVING GROUND
Great Counter Attacks on Moreuil . Lassigny Front Drive Back Enemy Armies and Exact Heavy TolI.
lRv RevIew Lensed Wire,

PARIS, March 3O-The battle on the Moreuil-Lassigny front continued the whole day and extended along 60 kilcmeters. says the war office an- nouncement tonight
 The German assaults, multiplied in force, were increasing. but French counter attacks every where stopped the onslaught.
 The text of the statement follows:
 The battle on the front from More uil to Lassigny continued all day with the greatest violence and spread over front of 60 kilometers. The Ger man forces. in spite of enormous losses in their ranks by our fire. have multi piled their assaults against our line which has been met desperately by our heroic troops. who by their inces- sant counter attacks have stopped ev- cry where the furious assaults of the enemy.
 Village changes Hands.
 "The region of Orvillers. PiemOnt and Plessier de Rove has been the theater of fierce fighting. these vil- lages changing hands several times. PlemOnt and in the Park of Plessier de Rove were swept back again by a magnifcient counter attack by cur troops which have re-established their line
 At certain points masses of the as- saulting forces were taken under the terrible fire of our artillery and were forced to retreat in disorder leaving the ground covered with dead and wounded. The losses of the enemy in the whole battle zone will exceed those of the preceding days.
 Eastern theaters. March 29-The day was quiet along the whole front. where snow and fog have handicapped activity"

NONTD|D|ER 1890 DIVISIONS NEW OBJFCT|VEFACE ENGLISH. OF HUN THRUST. TIN OFFENSIVE
Prussians Press Forward on Wide Front But Determined Resistance of French Checks All Attacks.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN BRANCH, Friday. March % (By the Associated Press) ).-The. impression tonight among the troops fighting along the front is that the battle will develop into a long struggle similar to those at Verdun and the first bat tie Of the SOmme The Germans are making strenuous efforts to bring their heavy artillery forward to sup port their infantry. which has borne the brunt of the whole engagement thus far. IT is considered probable that they will make another formid- able rush with all 'their available re- serves. but the allied commanders view the future with confidence. They regard the situation as a general rule satisfactory and believe that the only change will be toward improvement
 The Germans now occupy a sort of pocket in the FrancO-British linss. which leaves them open to flank at- tacks. For this reason they extended their attacking lines to the eastward of Arras for the purpose Of smooth ing out a sharp salient, but in order to be successful they would be com pelled to pay a heavy price. Whether they will be able to afford this after the extremely heavy losses they have sustained is for them to judge.
 Use Many Divisions
 They used up a larger number of divisions Of their reserves than they foresaw Vogld he necesasF1tO make the prusress they have already achieved. for the resistance of the British was unexpected, considering their immense disparity of numbers as compared with the attackers.
 The front now extends approximate ly B miles and the French occupy the line 'to within a few kilometers south Of the SOmme river. Every where the French and British are working in complete harmony, hold ing their newly occupied positions with wonderful tenacity.
 The Germans are advancing in two directions. namely toward Amiens and beyond Montdidier. but appear 10 have slowed doww their efforts in the direction of Amiens and to have thrown the greater part of their force around MOntdidied, where. however they encountered determined resist ance from the French, who even re- gained some ground by counter at tacEs.
 OoutIine of Situation
 A rough outline of the position to- day follows:
 The French are holding strongly aolng the Disc canal and river. Thence southward of NoyCl the front passes tothe south of Lassigny and runs in analmost straight northwestward di- rectiOn to the line of heights west ward of Montdidier. Then the line ur1s north through Gratibus and fol lows the course of the River Avre. It goes by Hamel, crosses the SOmme near Sally Le Sec. passes westward of Albert and Beaumont-Hamel, and

British Optimistic Because
 Enemy Assaults Checked
 Despite Half Hun Armies Used in Ten Days Battle.
CRv Review Leasea Wirel

LONDON, March 3O.-The week ends with feeling of optimism, which has been progressively growing during the last three days, over the prospects of the battle in France. While the first great crisis is past and the en- emy is held for the time being, there is not belief that he is beaten unless some factor like the weather should bar his further attacks.
 The country is prepared for anOther and perhaps more than one desperate assault upon the allied lines before Amiens and Paris.
 Since the German higher command has announced tO the people that this was the decisiev battle any other than a decisive conclusion will be an ad- mission of defeat.
 The press association tonight says:
 '11 London the view is held that north of the Somme the British posi- tion is solidifying very rapidly.
 Bring Up Fresh Men.
 lew now are placing our troops by fresh divisions in that sector and there is not anxiety on account of that part of the front. The German plan of dividing the French and Brit ish armies has failed absolutely.
 Roughly speaking, the enemy up to now has brought up ninety divisions nearly half of his Srmy on the western front-and the blow has mainly fallen on the British.
 News that heavy rains are falling gives hope that the German advance will suffer from the same cause that brought the British to a standsdl on their last extensive advance in the same region The Germans are com pelled to bring up artillery and sup plies for the troops through a coun- try which is ploughed up by the most intense shell fire, while the allies have firm ground behind them. An announcement that the king visited the troops in the field was pleasant to the people
