March 21, practically has wiped out tne numerical 9$m$m superiority with which the Germans openea tne HfiNH-y wood offensive. It is certain that if the allies hold out two months longer the Americans, at the present rate of arrival, will give them an incon testable and crushing superiority. As a consequence, the French are resisting in the battle with extreme energy, equaled only by the prodigality with which the Germans, are rushing up their last resources. No longer is it a secret that the French expected the present attack and were as fully prepared as effectives and material would oermit. It is likewise known that the Germans knew the French xpecled andrepaxrfioc4lattck, ,yet, iacing the heat3kkwes which such a situation necessarily must entail, the enemy Unhesi tatmgly attacked, lhey rusned Stubborn Defense Is Met : The Germans engaged between 20 and 30 divisions (240,000 . , . j 1 . t 1: men to aou.wu meni in tne new anve up 10 mianigm, lecumg battalion after battalion with prodigality , unequaled in any pre vious phase of the offensive. Heroic French resistance, which necessitated this constant feeding-in, changed completely the entire character of German tactics from those which largely insured the success of previous drives. By counter attacking locally from Montdidier to Noyon, almost every minute, the French kept the Hun first line troops almost constantly engaged, thus prevent- ing them trom being superseded troops. In 'very counter attack the French succeeded in taking prison ers along the entire battlefront, who unanimously declare the Ger man losses are frightful. French troops participating in these counter attacks also find heaps of Boche dead everywhere. French cavalryrfien,. fighting afoot on the summit of Le Ple mont plateau, who succeeded in escaping after their position had been entirely surrounded, declared that previous to their depar ture they repulsed 19 infantry assaults. The, battle is accompanied by one of the fiercest artillery duels of the war. Owing to the Germans' slow advance, they have been ableo bring up their guns, but their heavies are still firing from their original positions, which are constantly under French bom bardment. Small Gains Are Made Despite the incredible amount of material engaged and the un equaled masses of men constantly fed in, the Germans, at the most extreme point of their advance last night, have averaged only five kilometers' (about three miles) penetration a day. The French airmen continue to maintain an incontestable su periority, constantly bombing and machine gunning German col umns and inflicting the heaviest losses, which the aviators them selves are able to see. The railway, station at Roye was observed in flames, following a bombardment. On both wings, where the French are doggedly holding out, villages like Courcelles have changed hands every few hours, day and night, since the battle began. The Germans still Ire making their greatest effort in the Metz valley for the purpose of reaching the Oise above Compiegne, thus forcing evacuation of the entire Noyon salient, where, at the ex treme northern point, Carlepont wood, on the east side of the Oise, and Mount Renaud, on the west side, have to date barred the Ger man advance into the Oise valley. Military experts consider it most probable that the Germans will launch a second converging attack from-east of Noyon. with identical objectives of attaining ing evacuation of the Noyon,.sahent.
