FRENCH ATTACKED HEAVILY Bodies Thrust Powerfully in Oise and Somme Regions, but Gain in Only One Place. f tsy the Associated rreaa.) The Germans are continuing their plunging tactics in the Amiens battle area, with their operation rapidly de veloping into a greatly magnified Verdun. The similarity with the classic ex ample of a German attempt to beat down an enemy by sheer force is daily growing. This development ob trudes itself because of the narrow ing of the area involved in the attack and the practice of hurling great masses of troops at the defenders of a narrow front, regardless of sacri- i fices. Saturday the main attack was de livered on the allied center, after the blow launched south of the Somme on Thursday and that driven into the north of the river on Friday had spent themselves. German Drive at Wedge. Saturday's big plunge appears to i have had its starting point just to the south of the Somme. Apparently aiming at the Albert -Amiens railway in the vicinity of Corbie, about 10 miles east of Amiens, the enemy threw heavy masses of troops toward the opposing line from Vaire wood, east of Corbie. The battle seemed likely to develop into one of impor tance as affecting the tenure of what remained to the entente allies of the wedge-shaped piece of ground in the angle formed here by the Somme and the Ancre. . The Germans did not renew their attacks against the French south of the Somme Friday night. The at tack launched against the British in the region of Albert and northward on Friday, however, was kept up well into the evening, but its continuation gave the enemy little, if any, advan tage. Weather Shows Improvement. The weather on the battle front waa reported improving Saturday, 'but the aviators were still handicapped b low visibility.
