Just outside Corbie (on the north bank of the Somme, eight miles due east of Amiens), particularly desperate assaults are being made. The Germans are hurling great masses of troops forward. 5:30 this morning, the enemy was seen advancing In waves west of the Vaire wood (a mile and a had east of Corbie).

There are railway lines be-! fiind the direct Paris-Amiens route' that can serve adequately enough for transportation work, but it is highly desirable for reasons of French morale that the Paris-Amiens road be cleared of the German menace. This line which connects Calais with Paris is the most famous In France and its -severance by Von Hindenburg would undoubtedly cause much short sighted rejoicing in Germany. In the faoe of this problem General Foch's optimistic outlook is encouraging. Nobody knows the meaning of the situation about Amiens better than he does.

Its loss would mean hacking the French and the allied reserves, the experts were unable to predict the course of events, but they did vouchsafe the confident guess that the Germans will be halted. France and Britain have been gataerlng their reserve strength hastily. Whether this reserve will be used only to stem the Teuton tide is not now evident, but it is sufficient strength to accomplish at least that, and it may be large enough to hurl back the German. The latter is a moot question here. Some authorities say that the allies have waited too long to make an effective counter offensive, others, relying on the ability and strategy of General Foch.

LONDON, April attacks "in considerable strength" on a twenty mile front north of the Somme throughout yesterday and this morning were repulsed. Field Marshal Halg reported today.

"North of the Somme, there was heavy fighting everywhere south of Ayette (eight miles south of Arras and twenty miles north of Corbie, on the Somme) until late yesterday evening," the statement Baid. "The enemy attacked In considerable strength, without further successes daring the morning.

Heavy rains beginning Thursday are unquestionably Increasing the Germans' difficulties. On the contrary, the French railways, working with the same precision that characterized the 1914 mobilization, have completed the French concentration. From a personal tour from where the artillery concentration is the heaviest, I have ever witnessed, I am convinced if the Germans persist against Amiens, the artillery fire preceding the shock of battle will be the greatest of the war. Indications are plentiful that the Germans are preparing a second offensive elsewhere for which the French have taken measures. Followins the decision of thfe American government regarding the use of its troops, the French general staff declared the American forces will make their weight felt In the present gigantic contest.
