Fighting Band to Hasd The attacks mad by the Germans from the Arras sector to the south of the Homme were less violent than that on the ficarpe, but were pressed borne with great determination. The village of Demaoourt has been the scene of a bloody struggle and hat: changed hands at least twice. JJernacouft is nothing but a mass of wrecked houses, where- it has been- heav ily battered by the British and German artillery. However,' the British and Germans fought at hand to hand grips amidst these, plies of debrir and amidst their dead as though the possession of Dernacourt offered a most important step towards victory. The Germans gained possession of th place, but the BrltiBh quickly organised a counter-attack and drove them out Dernacourt was only one of a series of blasted villages on the line from Albert to : the Arras-Cambrai road for which both sides contended, with grim desperation. In the ChepIHy sector (on the Somme river), the German front is now about 15 miles from Amiens, the allied base. South of the Somme there was a bit ter struggle for a series Of fortified vil lages, some of which changed hands several times. rreaeh Pat Up Great right The, TTrnrh ore nutting, up a heroic struggle against the Germans and the Poilus are fighting like demons.

The bat- tlefront of the great German drive has grown to nearly twice its original size as the combat enters its ninth day. The offensive opened on, a compara tively straight front, extending from Arras southward and slightly eastward to Ia Kere, a distance of about oo mnes. The area comprised In the enemy aa vsnce now consists of an Irregular tri anele. with Arleux as its northern point Montdidier as its southwestern point. Each of Its sides are, roughly, 60 miles lonir. in an air line, while the base Is 35 miles across. The territory recovered by the Germans comprises about 875 square miles. In the original battle line the fighting has extended northward from Arras to Arleux. a distance of about five miles and southward from La Fere to St. Gobaln forest, a distance of about seven miles. But all sides of this huge triangle are extremely Irregular, especially the western side. Field Marshal Haig. in his night communique, described , the fighting from south of the Somme to northeast of Arras, as "a fifty - mile front.'! The British and French lines apparently converge at Warvlllers, about 10 miles south of the Somme. This Includes slightly more than half of the present battlefront. From Halgs state ment. It would appear, then, that the entente present frontage Is between 90 and 100 miles.

There Is no reason yet, to believe that Quarter master General Ludendorff has in creased his prospects of winning the great political gamble which is the real character of the German suner- offensive. Every effort thus far mari to draw In the allies' reserves has failed. Meanwhile the German line has been compelled to take an increasingly precarious shape. Simultaneously, the German command has been forced to araw on ita own reserves past the point of highest efficiency. The time is approaching when the allies' reserves, still Intact, will be able to strike where they please. Try Z '';"" I , ft S i w A" Isaac H. Bingham Washington, March 29. State Senator Isaac H. Bingham of Oregon, died at the Sibley hospital at 8 o'clock last night. He became ill with pneumonia a few days ago. For several weeks Mr. Bingham has been in Washington in connection with ship contracts for St. Helens interests, and has been In the east since early In the war buying horses for the allied armies. Bingham Bill Fixed Tax Limitation Eugene, Or., March 29. Senator I. H. Bingham was elected from Lane county in 1914 and served through the session of 1915. He was the author of the Bing ham bill which provided that the state. counties, municipalities or ' districts could not Increase their tax levies in any one year more than 6 per cent over the previous year s levy. Senator Bingham left Eugene in the fall of 1915 to engage in horse buying for the allies in the Eastern states. When the legislature convened for 'the not been shlftSd to " the British battle I irons. . - - t The Americans took advantage of the ground has to work through the Wb4 wire and cross No Man's Land and than through the German entanglements!. There aa officer and an enlisted man entered-an enemy firing trench, leaving the other officer and three men to cover them. Ths two Americans penetrated 600 yards of the German trench without meeting anyone. While snipers and th enemy patrols at nearby points fired upon thern. the Americans returned safe ly with valuable Information. The American gunners by firing a 37 millimeter gun, broke up a working party and inflicted casualties on the enemy. The enemy appears to be care less In his work, frequently revealing himself and offering many targets to the alert American snipers. Certain elements of the enemy are wearing brand new uniforms. (This fact has also been noted in regard to the German forces attacking the British and French indicating men brought from other fronts.) Certain camouflaged roads, bearing evidence of heavy usage by the enemy Including deep ruts, have been observed from an American captive balloon and also from airplanes. ; Americans Eager for Fight With the American Army in France, March 28, T p. m. (I. N. S.) American interest In the German offensive becomes tenser and tenser as the battle situation neara its climax. The concensus of hops among the Americans is fervent that, if the belligerents decide to make this the de cisive battle of the war, they will get a chance to take, part in it. Everyone is continually, talking about the situation. The gunners of a -certain battery engaged in "strafing" the enemy were discussing the battle while loading and firing their three-inch piece. As they threw out the shell cases, swabbed out the barrel and slammed home the breech, they continued to wonder whether they would get a chance to get In the battle. The doughboys are greedily grabbing newspapers. They clip out the maps which the papers in the fighting sons publish, following the course of the bat tle by the official communiques re ceived from Paris. American enlisted men who are used to great distances in the United States find it hard, to regard 60 or 60 kilometers seriously. One remarked: "Why, It's a thousand miles from Texarkana to El Paso." But the grave demeanor of the officers tips off the actual seriousness of the situation. Wilsoiv Wires to California Gov ernor In ,Behalf of Thomas J. Mooney. 1 San. Francisco. March 29.-t7. P.)

Because of the importance of conceal ing all military plans, army officers today were chary in discussing the out look on the western front. They again made it plain that the American forces now in France are to have the largest part possible in the coming movement. It is understood here that General Pershing has been In personal commu nlcatlon with General Foch, the great French strategist, who Is expected to be given complete command of the allied reserve forces created by the supreme war council at Versailles. Pershing Is not only understood to have urged that his men be utilized in tho planned counter offensive but the In formation existing here Is to the effect that he offered the entire American army now in France for this war work. It Is expected here that this offer would be renewed by Secretary of War Baker, who was back in France today following his series of conferences with British leaders. The reports received here made plain today that the air squadrons of the Anglo-French forcea have continued their wonderful work all along the line. The British Land French successes of the last 24 hours have been due di rectly to the airmen. They have re mained In the air for hours at a time and have directed the guns with a precision that has excelled anything witnessed to date in the present war. American flyers are said to be par ticipating in this work In the Mont didier section. Some of the reports that reached here today indicated that the shortage of German reserves in a number of sectors was becoming acute. This Piano (new) is a remark able value at the price.
