Battle On Front OF Seventy ma

6aNtlo vi U F0ut VI S@NNuk4 WltGas
Paris, March 29.-The great battle
Is now raging over a front Of more
than seventy miles. This extension
Of the line has increased the number
Of German reserves engaged. Al
though no decisive success has been
obtained anywhere there is increased
confidence here. The impression is
that the allies now are no longer
compelled to permit the enemy by his
maneuyers to shape the course which
the battle shall take.
The general feeling Is that for Ger
many the battle is virtually lost, that
for the allies the battle is ABOUT to
begin.
The operations thus far are accept
ed as confirming the theory that
Paris was not the main objective Of
the German offensive but that the
plan OF the enemy was to break the
connection between the French and
British armies in which he has fail
ed. His main direct attack was west
ward toward the sea. The Germans
seek Amiens because this town is an
important railway center of COM
munication with England. The loss
Of Amiens would be inconvenient but
not vital.
The eighth day Of the battle
a
conditions at the front are the same
as in Paris, which will prevent the
Germans from using gas. Rain is
falling which will make it difficult
for the Germans to bring up their
artillery over the ground they have
acquired.
1t may now be said that the French
armies In reserve have come into
position and the numerical superiori-
ty which the Germans enjoyed in
their first rush Is decreasing.
The Germans are employing a new
method of attack. the most conspicu-
Gus feature of which is smoke cloud
camouf1age, under cover of which
successive waves OF attacking forces
advance in echelons. After a short
and intense artillery preparation the
first wave. armed with automatic
rifles, machine guns, and new can
non mounted on low carriages for
short range fire is sent forward, fir
ing at 1000 yards. 1t Is ordered to
fire on the reserves. regardless of the
opposing forces right at hand, which
the succeeded waves must account
for. The task Of the leading troops
is to increase the advantage Of sur
prise by preventing paralyzing coun-
ter attacks on the part of the
reserves.
The, result OF these tactics usually
Is that the first wave Is almost en-
tirely wiped out The second wave
then passes ahead. to be followed r.
the third, and so on. Thus the on
coming waves have succeeded one
another during the eight days Of the
great conflict.

have relieved part Of the British line.
Nothing as yet has been allowed TO
develop regarding the intentions OF
the entente allied commanders, Dut
it is certain that at an opportune
moment, they will make counter
stroke. The general idea Of the bat
tie shows that the Germans chose TO
make their principal attack against
the British front
At the same time they made q
demonstration just where the two
armies, French and British join.
The Germans succeeded in making
a breach in the British line which
the French forces closed, first send
ing cavalry TO fill the gap. The Ger
mans had carefully prepared for this
offensive, whole divisions and army
corps rehearstng the parts they were
to play whsn the movement came.
Just before the assault, the British
lines were deluged with shells for q
short period and with projectiles
charged with noxious gases.

achievements Joined the Ger
mans, and from the captured first
British line, a murderous FIRE with
rifles, machine guns and automatics
was opened on the rear lines of the
British. This rain of death over
powered the British reserves, who
were unable to advance to the as
sistance Of their first line comrades,
owing to the severity of this fire.
Under cover of this hail of bullets,
the German waves of infantry made
their way into the second British
line. The Germans lay down when
they had advanced for some dist
ance, and allowed still other waves
to pass through the intervals.
simultaneously, large numbers of
small cannon and three-inch guns
were brought up close behind the ad-
vancing infantry. The tenacious re-
sistance Of the British at many points
caused the Germans to bring into ac-
ton all nearby reserves and also to
bring ND other divisions from the
qneter parts Of the front. Approx
mately seventy divisions have been
definitely recognized as having been
engaged, all Of which suffered severe
losses.
At this writing the German move
ment is toward Amiens.
