Pind — ee eee eon The enemy employed strong forces and delivered repented iussulis on our positions, These attacks were beaten off with loss to the enemy, but our troops were pressed back a short distance to posi- tions east of Villers-Bretonneux (about nine miles east of Amiens), which they now maintain. “North of the Somme the enemy’s artillery has been active during the night in the neighborhood of Bucquoy and in the Scarpe hood of Albert were engaged by our artillery.” It is reported that many American divisions are in Picardy awaiting the call of Foch. The Germans this morning attacked the British forces on a wide! front from Dernancourt, a few miles south of Albert, to Moyenneville, north of the Somme, according to a statement published by the Evening Standard. The chief points of attack were Dernancqurt, Menin, Beau- mont-Hamel, Briegury and Moyenneville. The Germans were repulsed | with heavy losses except at Dernancourt, where they made a slight gain. | There has been no new attack south of the Somme so far to-day.

England is calmly watching on the maps the result of this latest offensive, and every scrap of news about it is read eagerly. “Our difficulties and those of the enemy are fairly obvious,” says the Standard. “We are suffering from a very heavy blow dealt to Gen. Gough's army. The enemy on his side finds that the salient created through that local success is too narrow. for his purpose. O good many people no doubt experienced a certain disappointment that no great re action on the part of the Allies followed the exhaustion of the German) effort. It should be remembered that the battle is only in its earliest stages, and nothing would please the enemy commanders better than a} premature employment of the reserves." Exactly two weeks after the opening of the great German offensive and afterva lull of several days in heavy fighting, the Germans renewed their offensive. Their thrust was again toward Amiens, on a front of eighteen miles, with 300,000 men. The British hold nine and the French nine miles of the new battle line on which the Germans are striking south of the Somme. In no previous battle in the war have there been used such closely massed formations as would enable the German High Command to throw 300,000 men into a fight in so restricted a front. The Germans threw their massed forces in ten desperate charges against the French before tie poilus finally gave ground, The enemy losses were as terrific as those which marked the first day of the drive. + At Mailly-Raineval the Germans are only four miles from the main railway line from Amiens to Paris, which they are seeking to cut. Messages from The Hague declare that most of the German cor respondents at the front indicate that the Allies are preparing to abandon trench warfare for open field fighting around Amiens, Lieut, Gen. Baron von Ardenne, however, thinks the Anglo-French-American coun- ter-offensive, in which Gen, Foch’s Army of Manoeuvre will play a prin- cipal part, has already begun, ¥ Paris belleves, too, that the counter-offensive is imminent. Gea Delacroix, in the Paris Temps, declares that in entering Montdidler the Germans have made the same blunder von Kluck made in passing the § The Proof!
