I reserves, have' been able on their hitherto yielding line between Haln- villers- south of Montdidier, Pont 1-Eveque and south of Noyon by a fine counter-attack to drive the en emy back a distance of three kilo meters on a front of ten kilometers. Coupled with this news comes re ports, of a sinking barometer and a threat of snow, which would' serious ly hamper German operations, al though also bad for the British air service, which has hitherto " done grand work behind the German line. Arras Move Mc 1 1 Feared. The British setback occurred on the Sommf and the Scarpe. The German exceeded in crossing the Sorame from -the north to south in tfce' neighborhood of Chipilly, com pelling the British to fall back on the Hamol libe, bringing the Ger mans nearer ' to their objective, Amiens. This would be regarded with less anxiety here than the new Gejman move against Arras, where the British lln-? has hitherto held firmlv. The Germans have made attacks both north and south of the Scarpe. The former seems to Jiave failed, but the southern attack was successful, forcing the British to re tire to a position nearer the line they held in July, 1916. , LOXDON. March 27. In response to Premier Lloyd George's message to Field Marshal llaig that help was on the way., the field marshal today sent the following: "The assurances that no effort will be spared at home to glvehis all fsisiance . are oi great encourage ment to us.

The British avi ators have waged such intense war fare over the enemy territory that the Germans have been forced to abandon some of the highways and employ round-about routes. A stHk- ing example, of this is the Albert - apaume roaa, wnicn IS one of the main arteries and which the Ger mans' are compelled to-avoid. The British pilots 1 have been bomling and gunning their way over the Somme battle ground; continual ly, and very heavy casualties have been inflicted on the German Infan try, cavalry and transport by these Intrepid low-flying fighters. The bat tles in the air have been innumer able and in these the British, airmen have maintained the upper hand throughout. British Fliers 'Skillful. Bravery and skill or. the British fliers . is illustrated welT by two rather ordinary battles which-took place yesterday. One British fighter, when attacked by ten German Alba trosses, stood them all off and brought down one before he retired in safety. Another British machine was attacked by nine German tri planes. .The pilot returned after a hot fight in which he brought down one of the enemy. ' v These are not exceptional cases and there is little doubt that the air service has played an important part in stemming the German sweep. The British artillerymen have been doing magnificent work. On the first day in many Instances the gunners fired with open sights at a range of a thousand yards or less and did terrible execution, among the enemy. One very Jieafy concentra tion of German infantry near Mor ehies was completely smashed by this style of firing. H'ot only did the British stick to their firing to the last possible moment, but they got their guns back when It became necessary with extraordinary skill. The correspondent today heard of one battery which kept firine until i the Germans were only twenty-five yards away and then fell back with every gun safe.
