 WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE, March 30.--The heavy bom- bardment which was in progress last night when the correspondent left the front developed today into a general battle along the French line from Moreuil to beyond Lassigny. Here one of the crown prince's armies under Won Huttier, made a series of smashing as- saults aimed at various points and eX- tending 25 miles.
 Finds French Different
 The French reserves came into ac- ton with the greatest vigor, offering the sternest resistance. Non Hutier is utilizing the method of attack which was successful at Riga, but this time he finds himself confronted by troops who are prepared to meet all his ruses. He is throwing division after division into the battle with what appears to be recklessness, but this principle of tisking an entire force in order to at- tain an object can only be successful when tho adversaries are inferior in quality or overwhelmed by numbers.
 Show Fine Resistance
 The French line is displaying splen- did resistance, and while the Germans are eXpending an enormous part of their strength, the French troops re- tain their virile power for making a strong counter stroke in which they will be aided by their reserves. which, up to the present, have for the most part only been held in readinss to step into the arena when the enemy shows signs of weakening.
 Germans Bring up Guns
 The Germans appear to have found NH hfff,r 4l,f,rsst f,f guns and trench mortars. Nothing definite yet has been accomplished since today's onslaught began. The French troops are fighting confidently and cheerfully. 1t is possible that some small fluctuations in the line will oc- cur in the course of the day, but only nt the heaviest cost to the Germans, who have again adopted the dense wave formation during the attack, of- fering splendid targets to the famous French field guns and machine guns
 Americans Help French
 A large number of American trans port sections are taking an active part n bringing mp supplies. Behind the tines, especially farther north. French and British troops are working in per feet harmony. During the rapid retire. ment in the first days of the battle many British units became separated but never lost discipline. The larger units now are undergoing reorganiza- ton. preparing to take their place again in the battle line.
 o-operation is Close
 The closeness of the cooperation be tween the French and British com. manders and troops was well illustrat- ed by an incident which occurred re. gently at a southern part of the front The Germans were observed taking uI positions on high hill, and smal detachment of Canadian cavalrymen who the previous day found themselve, with the French army corps, received orders to occupy the summit. Dis mounting. they clambered up the hill side, but shortly afterward were driver off.
 Take the Hill Again
 The commanding general reprimand cd them for retiring. and ordered then to return immediately to the hill ton The Canadians mounted their horse and rode to the summit under the heav lest fire and held the position until or 1ered to join the general retirement.
 Fight With Bayonets
 Many small groups of British troop now are temporarily acting with tn trench. They had used all their am intuition when picked up, but contin aed to fight obstinately with the bay net when the Germans approached to- closely. They suffered severely. bu many of the men managed to ge through to the French line.
