TERS IN FRANCE, March 21.
The Germans this forenoon launched
a heavy attack against .the "Hrjtiah
lines over a wide front In and near
the Cambral, sector, and the assault
bears all the earmarks of lIng the
beginning of the enemy's much her
aided grand offensive.
Hard fighting Is proceeding from
a point north of Lagnlcourt south
ward to Gauche wood, just below
Goubeancourt. The attack was pre
ceded bv a heavy bombardment from
guns of all calibers, and the duel
between the opposing heavy bat
teries has been rocking the country
Bide for .hours.
4Jn Khell Freely led.
The Germans have employed gas
shells freely and, a constant stream
of high velocity ' shells has been
breaking with frightful concussions
far back.' of th Uritish lines.
The bombardment began in earn
ed at 5 o'clock this morning and
rontr flv Hours -Inter the enemy
forces hurled themselves on the Jlrit
Jsh front line trenches north of Lag
nlcourt and Louvcral. the latter
place lying' due west of Hoursies.
At the same time other German
forces advanced behind a smoke
barrage along the ridge running
northward In Gouzeaucourt. It may
be Vid that the attack - in .this re
gion was by no means unexpected by
the HriUsh and that they had made
great preparations to meet the on
slaught. ;
, Jiombjirtlment Is Terrific.
The lo vast forces have been
locked in a bitter struggle over this
wide front "for hours. The4 bom
bardment was of a mcst terrific na
ture, and finally the infpftryVdrove
forward against numerous points in
the Carabrai sector.
The preliminary bombardment
had extended from a point below
St. Quentin." north to the River
Scarpe, and at last reports sanguin
ary fighting was in progress as far
south, as. the region of Hargicourt
and as far north as Bullecourt.
The earljf1' stages f the battle
would seem j to indicate that the en
emv was trying n drive a gedge on
both side of the Cambrai salient and
flinch It offi A keen straggle has
been proceeding in the neighborhood
of Bullecourt and Lagnlcourt and
south of the salient near Hargicourt
and Ronssoy.
A ttuck KxpecteI hy British.
The Britiijhihad been li king for
this attack today. Not cnly have
prisoners declared that yesterday or
today would l marie the beginning of
the offensive on this front, but there
were abundant signs of an enemy
smash against this sector, which was
the scene of the last great battle in
the Dritlsh theater. That the Ger
mans were as thoroughlyprepared
as possible was well known, and as
n eoryquence the British had taken
extensive steps to meet the blow, -

Although a battle is being fought
which is likely to develop into the
greatest struggle of modern history,
and perhaps settle the result of the
war. the English people preserve the

the past four years. There are no

Law's words have carried much as

The Germans had talked so freely
about their great offensive that
many people thought they were mak
ing a feint to conceal some other
policy; some looked for a campaign
against Saloniko.instead of a big
attack in France. Reports have be?en
circulated that the Germans havo

Rainbow division, famous because
it is representative of all parts of
the United States, which, however,
as a military unit, is to be Judged
only bv its efficiency against . the
enemy, regardless- of its origin At
the jsame time this division should
find in its character an inspiration
to the esprit de corps and general
excellence. It should be conscious
of its mission as a symbol f na
tional unity. The men of Ohio I
know as Ohioans and I am proud
that they have been worthy of Ohio.
A citizen of another state represent
ed in this division will find himself
eaually at home in some other group
of this division, and the gauge of
this state's pride will be" in the dis
cipline of that group as soldiers, its
conduct as men, its courage and skill
in the trenches.
"You may learn more than war in
France; you may learn lessons from
France, whose unity end courage
have been a bulwark against that sin-
ster force whse character you are
learning in the trenches. The
Frenchman Is. first of all, a French
man, which stimulates rather than
weakens his pride in Britain as a
Briton, in Lorraine as a Lorrainer,
and his loyalty and affection for his
own town or village and his home.
n truth, he fights for his family
and his home when he fights for
France and civilization against the
orinciDles of the ruthless conquest
of people of other races and culture.
"Thus you will fight best and
serve best by being art American,
with no diminution of your loyalty
to your state and your community."
