The British line from the Scarpe river southwest through Albert to the Somme has held fast for twenty-four hours and the Germans have been repulsed in local attacks along this sector. The front here is now west of the old Somme battlefield and west 6f the Ancre river just north of Albert, which is 18 miles northwest of Amiens. South of the Somme the Germans have advanced west of the old front before the beginning, of the Franco-British offensive of 1916, but have not gained it west of Noyon. A further advance on this sector might endanger the French hold on the southern bank of the Oise which has been steadfast against all German attempts. On this front Field Marshal Haig reports American troops are now aiding the French and British. The identity and size of the American units have not .been disclosed but it is probable they form a part of the Franco-American reserves on the Aisne and Champagne fronts. From Noyon eastward to south of La Fere the French hold strong positions along the Oise which the Germans have been unable to push back. It is reported from Berlin unofficially that French and American troops have carried out strong counter attacks south of La Fere against the pivot of the German line, but without success. • Germans Make No Gains The apex of the blunt pointed wedge the Germans have driven in the British lines in six days is east of Albert. Berlin reports that British counterattacks here have been repulsed, on the other hand, the Germans have made no gains. The outer points of the wedge are Monchy, South of the Scarpe and the Oise river south of La Fere. That the enemy did not make other attacks on the western front simultaneously with his blow west of Cambrai is accounted for by the statement from Field Marshal Haig that the Germans have used up most of their reserves and that more than 840,000 men liave been thrown into the battle by the enemy. All other sectors of the western front have been drawn on by the Germans to carry out their great attack. Germans Abandon Richecourt American gunners on the sector northwest of Toul have forced the Germans to abandon the town of Richecourt, opposite the American lines. This town has been shelled heavily as has St. Baussant and other important points behind the enemy lines. The artillery on both sides has been busy firing gas shells, but the Americans have given the enemy two shells for every one of his. There has been no infantry action either here or on the sector east of Luneville. BRITISH FORCED BACK SLIGHTLY NEAR BRAY London, March 27.—A heavy attack made early in the night against the new British line south of the Somme. It was repulsed after severe fighting, the war office announces. In consequence of attacks yesterday afternoon and evening astride the Somme the British troops in both banks were forced back distance in the neighborhood of Bray. The anouncement follows: "As a result of the enemy's attacks yesterday afternoon and evening astride the Somme, our troops on both banks were forced back a short distance in the neighborhood of Bray. A heavy at tack made early in the night against our new line south of the Somme was repulsed afterseverefighting.

The official British statement of yesterday said it had been establish ed that more than seventy German divisions had been engaged in the battle.

These reinforce ments, with other picked troops, in cluding the famous Prussian Guards, were sent forward in a dense wave agannst the allied defenders. The latest reports from this fighting zone merely chronicle a most sanguinary struggle without indicating any change in the situation. The appalling slaughter of the at tacking masses, has continued since the first day. All the prisoners have much the same story to tell of the great losses suffered.

Enemy Collects Every Available Resource to Defeat British, Says Haig By Associated Press London, March 27.—Field Mar shal Haig has issued the following special order of the day, dated March 23: "To All Ranks of the British Army in Prance and Flanders: "We again are at a crisis in the war. The enemy has collected on this front every available division and is aiming at the destruction of the British army. We already have inflicted on the-enemy in the course of the iaßt few days, a very heavy loss, and the French are sending troops as quickly as possible to our support. "I feel that every one In the army, fully realizing how much depends on the exertions and steadfastness of each one of us, will do his utmost to prevent the enemy from attain ing his object." Coarse of Battle Goes Exactly as Planned, Declares Ladendorf By Associated Press Amsterdam, March 27. —In an in terview which is published in the Volks Zeitung of Cologne, General Von Ludendorft says: "The course of the battle goes ex actly as it was planned, and as it was hoped it would go. The infantry has completely maintained the spirit with which it entered the war in 1914 and this will bring further suc cesses, although the enemy still is strong and fights with determina tion. "We have succeeded in changing the fighting from position warfare to warfare of movement, although the attacker had everything against him and the defender had strong de fensive means in his favor. Undoubt edly the British use machine guns with much skill. For instance, they construct subterranean corridors, starting from trenches in which ma chine guns are planted. Such in stallations can be observed by our artillery and in foggy weather they cannot be reached. Our infantry had to take all these machine gun nests, scattered everywhere over the battlefield. "Our men advanced with great elan, so that it was difficult to fol low them with tired horses and damaged carts, but the spirit of the men is splendid." Victory Won, bat Result Is Not Seen, . Says Hindenburg Aide By 'Associated Press Amsterdam, March 27.—"A great battle has been fotight and victory won, but nobody can foresee what will result from it," said General von I..udendorff, chief aid to Field Marshal von Hindenburg, in an in terview with the correspondent at the front of the Tages Zeitung, of Berlin. The general praised the British for their tenacious resistance and con tinued: "The British believed they could rely on the strength of machinery. The employment of tanks and great numbers of machine guns fs typical of their methods of warfare." The German infantry, the general adds, had only one night'a normal rest during five or six days of bat tle. "In a battle like this," he remark ed, "the infantryman must risk his life not only once but continuously, from trench to trench."

"It is self-evident," says the Cologne Volks'Zeitung, "that after what is happening now we no longer can conclude peace on the terms which we were ready to accept a week ago.
