 The turning point came on March oS. The German onslaught lost mo- mentum and its leaders found it in- creasingly difficult to bring up sup plies over the shredded battlefield of the Somme. The attack continued until April $. but in the end it was indecisive.
 For the United States the battle marked the beginning of actual par ticipation in the fighting. During the
