Fierce fighting ' occurred in ouy battle posi- tions and is still continuing. “The enemy made some progress at certain points. At others his troops have been thrown back by our count- er-attacks.” “Our losses inevitably have been considerabie, but they have been out of proportion to the magnitude of the battle. “From reports received from all parts of the battle front the enemy's losses continue to be very heavy, and his advance everywhere has been made at great sacrifice. “Our troops are fighting with the greatest gallantry. When all ranks and all units of every ai behave so well it is difficult, um’:tfl&e of the | battle, to disting Eixceptional gallantry was shown, however, by the ops the 24th Division in a In a battle that has rivalled in ferocity any that has preceded it dur- ing three and a half years of warfare, the British, on .a fifty mile front, have withstood a great German offen- sive in its inkial stages. At some points the British line has been sent back, but rot as much as had been exjected by military experts ac- quainted with the forces the Germans had brought up and the power of the jguns they had upon and behind the Yine. As the result of the struggle on that part of the front just west of Cam- brai, where the fishting was apparent- 1y hottest, the British line has nowhere boen broken and Field . Marshal Haig’s men have inflicted frightful casuaities on the enemy. _As an indication of the sanguinary mature of the fighting, the Berlin for- eign office states that 15,000 men and 200 guns have been captured. This may be compared to the British losses in the German counter-offensive on December 4, 1917, wher. 6,000 men and 100 zuns were captured. The first reports of infantry fight- ing were indicative of an attempt on t of the Ge _ to.drive|of th mmmmh'?&‘aeum ent; isolate 0ps. furthe: east and regain the Hinden- burg line, from which they were driven on November 22. 1917, by General Byng's sudden blow. Subsequent ches have proven that this was m. the plan of the German gen eral staff. The fighting on the rest of the fifty mile front was but a side is- sue to the terrific onslaught aimed at Gauche Wood and. Lamicourt, the south and north bases of the salien! There is no data upon which it i possible to estimate the sSuccess at taired by the Germans to the south, tut pames of towns where the armies wero battling on_Friday show that on the rorthern side of the salient the Germans bent the British line back whout two and a half miles. Tt was reported that St. Ledger was the scene of a hard struggie and that Doignies had baen retiken by the British. These points are about four kilometers § miles, back of the British lines as they stood before the attack began. Berlin claims that British first line positions from Arras to La Fere were captured. The corsentration of men and artil- lery on tlc British front as shown in official reports, demonstrates that the Germans are making a determined effort to smash the British front. Forty ai ms, or about 400,000 Teu- tonic are in the fight. The total m r of cannon the Germans are employing cannot be estimated, bt reports say that there ‘were 1,000 guns on one small sector. Au-trhn and Bulgarian troops luv- made their appearance on the British fromt. m attack was launched under the of Emperor William, Field Mar- lhl Von Hinderburg and General Tadendorfl, the three guiding spirits of the German war machine.

London, March 22.—The news com- ing from correspondents at the front today that forty German divisions were engaged in the fighting on the front of attack and that the greatest concentration of artillery’ in the world's history was operating gave the British public an ‘idea of the tremen- dous struggle on the west front. But nothing in the despatches, either from Field Marshal Haig or from the news- paper correspondents, had prepared them for the German claim which reached London late tonight of the capture df 16,000 prisoners and 200 guns as the result of the first day’s fighting in the new German offensive, and the disposition at the moment is :? regard the claim as an exaggera- jon. According to the correspondents, the British withdrawals, where they were necessary, were carried out in good order from advanced positions which, in the mature of the fighting of these days, it had been expected would be given up. These are generally be- lieved to have been lightly held. It had been intimated that the Ger- mans would claim the capture of sev- eral villages, hut the despatches gave no hint' of their names, sayving only that it was inadvisable to indicate the present British line, because this would be giving informatiod to the enemy. All the despatched emphasize the heayy cost to the Germans of the first day's struggle. and depict the ground from which the British have with- gri:‘n as being littered with German ea Hostilities are not limited to the front in France, but the Italian bat- 4le ling is beginning to show signs of activity the ordinary. An Austrian attack in the Frenzela valley was checked by the Italians after an advanced post had been taken. The Frepzela river is a confiuent of the la and a drive there would be for the of gaining a foothold on a road to the plzins of northern Italy. American cannon have continued the terrific pounding of the German ll~ in the Luncville sector and the 1aiding parties have found that the German trenches there have been de- molished. So complete is the evac- uvation of the German first lines that 20 PER CENT.

Fast Growing Waslsington, March 22.—America’s fast growing merchant marine has de- veloped a new problem for the ship- ping board—improvement of bunkering facilities so that cargo carriers may not waste valuable days in waiting for fuel before beginning a voyage. Chairman Hurley announced today that the shipping board was under- taking in conjunction with other branches of the government a survey of the Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific ports 0 see how the coaling arrangements can be enlarged and improved. Pres- ent facilities, which are taxed with the volume of business now.in hand, must be doubled at least to expedite the movement of ships,which will in- crease two and perhaps three times according to existing plans. Oppor- tunities for taking on fuel oil also must be -enlarged, as 35 per cent. of the new ships will be oil burners. Many ships that formerly were bunkered in England for round trips across the ocean are beginning the practice of taking coal only for the outward voyage and .re-coaling here for the return, adding to the demands on_port’ facilities. Bunkering arrangements in the east will be improved to the greatest prac- ticable extent, but as easter nports already have almost all the business they can handle, officials believe the greatest relief to be afforded will be in sending new ships to other ports on the south Atlantie, gulf and Pacific coast ports. They say trade with South and Central America, for in- stance, will be expedited if handled from ports farther south than New York, which is the natural origin for Furopean shipments. Mobile is regarded as a port offer- ing large opportunities for <develop- ment, comparatively close to Latin- American countries, and with the Warrior river and tributaries avail- jable for obtaining cheap coal from the Alabaam mines. ‘The possibilities of all ports will be investigated, as all probably will be utilized. The railroad administration is being asked to co-operate in the survey of ports, so that ‘access to plentiful coal supplies may be secured, The navy department also is interested. su_prscTED OF swi NG . PATRIO 1" \tflTn_ 500 Concerns Are ing l’ nvestigated _by New York Du\r\‘a M\sr’nvy‘a Office. New York, March -Five hundred concerns suspected of having swindled patriotic investors of this city out of millions of dollars through the medium of fake anti-aircraft protection inven- tions, worthless airplane companies and oil promotion schemes are being office, it was announced today. Prospective investors have been ad- vised by promoters, according to a re- port made to the district attorney, that they would be performing a patriotic service by investing in the stocks of their companies instead of buying Lib- erty bonds. In some cases, it was said, purchasers of Liberty bonds-have been induced to urrender them for worth- ess stocks, and one promoter is ac- cused of having advised that Liberty bonds were not a good investment for the wage: earner or middle class citi- zen. The recent crusade in Tilinois under the blue sky law, it was said, caused several wildcat enterprises in thati state to close up, leaving a sign on their offices which read: “Removed to our New York office.” 101 SICK AND WOUNDED ARRIVE FROM FRANCE 65 Have Been in Contact With Ger- mans on Western Front.
