GERMANS ATTACK AT ARRAS: BRITISH HOLD; FRENCH ADVANCE FRENCH IN A COUNTER DRIVE ALONG FRONT OF SIX MILES ‘Strike in Region of Noyon After Having Lost at Montdidier—Haig Repulses Attacks —Only One| LONDON, March 28,—French troops this morning counter- attacked with great dash and drove back the cnemy on a front of | ten kilometres to a depth of three kilometres southward of Noyon. | This represents an advance of a mile and a half on a six-mile | front. | This gain was mede to-day after the Paris War Office had an- | nounced the loss of Montdidier in last night's fighting. | Following is the statement issued to-day by the British War “Severe fighting took place again yesterday evening and during the night astride the Somme and northward, from | Albert tto Boyelles. Repeated attacks were made by the enemy along the valley of the Somme and in the neighborhood of Beaumont-Hamel, Puisieux and Moyenneville. They were repulsed. We captured a number of prisoners and a number of machine guns. The fighting is continuing fiercely on both banks of the Somme. “This morning the enemy opened a heavy bombardment on our defenses east of Arras, and an attack is developing in | this sector.” ++ FRENCH LOST MONTDIDIER IN HAND-TO-HAND FIGHTING YC nney Towns of Beaumont-Hamel, Puisieux and Moyenneville Held in Face of Determined German Assaults — Prisoners and Guns Captured. EPULSE of repeated atiacks along the Somme Valley, on R both sides of the river, is reported to-day by Field Marshal Haig. Fer the first time the British Commander em Phastzes the capture of prisoners and machine guns. The statement announces an attack east of Arras, possibly indicating a new stroke well to the north of the Somme battle, in an effort to find a weaker point in the British line. Paris anrounces that the Germans, having been blocked on the Novon-lassigny front on the left tank of the Oise, this morn- ing made a tremendous allach +» ihe region of Montdiaier. There was hand fo hand fighting of great ferocily, with the French finally falling back to the heights west of that town. A significant feature of the situation is the absence in late German reports of any mention of the capture of prisoners or guns. Berlin last night mentioned “a slowly progressing attack.” Only one German gain has been made in the last twenty-fovr hours—and that insignificant—says a despatch from the front.
