BATTLE SUMMARY

Germany's supreme effort to
break the allied front in the west
apparently is no nearer accom-
plishment today than it was on
the day the great drive started,
and she is estimated to have lost
100000 men in the futile effort
during less than a weeks fight
ing.
She has nor given up the at
tempt, however, the advices
from the front indicating that
her forces are massed for a dripe
in the region Of Roye and Noy-
on in an effort to break through
there, as a preliminary to 4 roll
ing up process either to the
north or to the south.
AS against the chances of her
accomplishing this purpose may
be counted the factor of fore
warning for the allies. There
seems no doubt now as to where
the heaviest hammer stroke is
to fall and the opportunity is
offered of disDosing the vast al
lied reserve forces to meet it
an opportunity lacking in the
earlier stages OF the drive.

runs, with British French and
Americans standing together.
presents an unbroken front
throughout the battle area.
There has been a slow
ing down in the German pres
sure north of the Somme, except
possibly in the vicinity of Al
bert, where the British are hold
ing doggedly. In the Noyon re-
gion, and along the line of the
Disc to the east, weakened bv
their ceaseless efforts and heavy
losses, to relax the force of their
pressure.
Meanwhile, it is clear that the
Germans themselves are being
compelled to admit that their
success in driving back the en-
tente lines for such great dis
stances on SO wide front is by
no means a decisive one.
Nobody can foresee what
will result from it," General Won
Ludendorff declared in an inter
view in alluding to the victory
he claims.

Washington, March 27-Belief
that the turning point of the battle
in France is near at hand, pervaded
Washington today and American
military observers, who arc closely
following developments in the ter
rife struggle, centercd their atten-
ton to the front held by the French
in anticipation of a powerful count
er-thrust.
Hints in the British press that
some change in the situation may be
expected soon has strengthened the
view here that the steady British
withdrawal is part of definite bat
tie plan, the ultimate object Of which
is the launching of a great counter
offensive. The most probable place
for such a movement it is believed
is from the Aanking position the
French held last night along the left
bank of the Oise River.
