Probably there Las not been a more sanguinary battle fought since the beginning of the Teutonic offensive on March 21 than this, which has for its objective the driving of a wedge batween the British and French armies, the cutting of the Paris-Amiens rail road south of Amiens and the capture of that city Allied Lines Are Holding. But. i spite of the power of the sttack and the desperation of - the fighting, the allied legions have stood irm over the most of their front. At only two pointe have they been forc- ed to give ground, and these the may be but minor success when com; d h the sacrifices of Wes which they ve cost. Just to the southwest of Albert, the British uve withdrawn a short distance, and the French have given up the village of Castel, west of Moreuil, which has Been the storm center of the German akeaults for the past few days.

In spite of the terrific strain to which have been subjected, the allies | have struck back at the Germans, and | have regained some ground. One of | these points s near Grivesnes. a shor: | distance northwest of Montdidier, an- other near Hebuterne and another be- tween Montdidier and Noyon, near the | village of Orvillers-Sorel. It is in this latter region that the great allied counter-attack has been - expected to be launched. So far as re-| ported, no_infantry attacks have been made on this ‘front by the Germans, but their artfllery has been very act- ive as fa(r as Noyon. The line on the northern side of the salient has also Dbeeh bombardeg heavily. There have been artillery enzage- ments in various sectors of the Belgian and French fronts outside of the bat- tle area in Picardy. The city of Rhe- ims has again been subjected to bom- bardment by the Germans. In no sec- tor, however, hes there been infantry fighting _ of an unusual nature. In there has ‘héen -only the usual patrol activity.
