To secure a general public sane tion for the offensive a publicity cam pnign was undertaken in the Gorman press which hud to bo continued fur n nit Iik, Involving tli.' repeated postpon ing of I he offensive, before a sufficient unanimity could be secured. Through' out this period of delay, however, the miiklary prepainloiis were pushed to tho extreme itgroa. Ground Chosen tor the Attack In the preparation fur the offensive Liidomlort'f eclipsed llindoiiburg entire ly and the strategic pluns were largely lii. The ground chimin for the "lluttle of the Kmperor." was thut of the vast plniu extending before St. (jik'jntiu which had been prepared for the deeis ive battle of the war precisely a y.mr previous, when the Germans fell back to the Ilindenhurg line. Tho entire plain previous to and during the Ocruiau r.. tieat, was denuded of every house, tree and obstacle that might offer the slight est shelter to the ewmv'a armies (n't at Cambrui, or in the Artois or in Flan ders.

German Maneuvering and Effectives. Lml.'Midorff on March 21 launched on the British front two grand attacks, one involving 15 divisions (180,000 men; which attacked in a southerly direction between the North Canal and the Ben see river, while the second one, in which 24 divisions (288,000 men) participated, attacked in a westerly direction be tween (iou.eillleourt mid 1.11.

Altogether the tho most precise and deadly effects. Plana For The Offensive. The ground thus chosen in addition to the preparation mentioned above pre sent several advantages of the highest importance. It was hero thnt the Brit isli and French fronts nvt, a junction of this kind being always a weak pniut in any front. The piercing of the West ern front at this point would permit the Uermau armies to penetrate immediate ly into the Valley of the Oiv, which toii.-Uitute the natural gruud route fur a march on Paris, In addition, the pierc ing of the line at this point would force the British to retreat towards their banes to the northwest decreasing im mensely the possibility of the French maintaining contact with the British. German Concentration!. To render the success of this plan nos' iblo, two other elements were counted on besides the Immense concentrations of infantry and artillry rendered pos aible by the practical elimination of both Bussian and Rumanian fronts, and by temporary elimination of an Ital ian menace. These two elements wen those of surprise and demoralization. To attain the former, I.udendorff first un dertook the aeries of attacks along the tntire French front during the mouths of January, February and March, for the purpose of deceiving the French as to the real point of attack. For the same reason the concentration of troops was made at several different points far behind the lines, but in such a maaner as to makj it possible for them to b brought up equally quick for an attack either t Verdun, in the Champagne, three armies had a total of ubout sev enty divisions (840,000 men) of which about fifty wer.a iu the front line and twenty iu reserve. Quality of Divisions Engaged From the very outset the flower of the German army was engaged In the nig battle. Jtetween March .1 and April 1, the O.'.'rmnns engaged a total value of 1)0 (1,080,000 nieii) divisions of which forty to fifty were at all times in the battle line, As the front over tihloh tho attack was made was ordiu arily held by only 15 divisions, this leaves 73 divisions brought up and thrown into the attack. A few of these latter divisions were already in reserve, liut the remainder were hurried up from Flanders, Lille, Champagne, Verdun, the Wovre and ifvon from Alsace. Prussian Troops In Force , As It unquestionably was intended that the battle should bo decisive, a most astonishing percentage of Prussian troops was engaged, without doubt for the purpose of ' impressing the world with tli? importance of Prussia in the German confederation. At the begin ning of the offensive 72 per cent of the troops engaged cousisted of Prussian divisions. Following the heavy losses sustained and the necessity of relieving wont out divisions, this percentage dim iuished first to 60 per vent on March 28, and then to 60 per cent on April 1. It Is still declining. Resides the Prus sian troops, all of the best divisions of Hesse, Saxony, Bavaria, Wurbeinberg and ltaden have also been engaged. Tactics Employed cess on their new offensive tactics which had been tried out on the fSeieth in July, 1917, aud agaiu, even more successfully by General Hutier at Kifc between August 31. and Sept. 2, 1017. These tactics, to insure surprise, were prececded by only a very short b,ut a very intense artillery preparation. The assaulting troops after capturing the first positions, were then to engage in open warfare, using machine gun bar rages in place of heavy artillery fire. In order to keep the attack x'"tt. re gardless of losses, each division was withdrnwn after several days and sub stituted by a fresh division, while the risst on." was having two or three days rest and reorganization before being re-engaged. The tactics also included intensive rehearsal in advance of both the troops and officers to be .eniraized: complete concealment of the projects aim preparations; absolute secrecy as to plans and the transportation and con centrntion of troops; brutality to' the extreme degree in offensive methods; extensive use of poison gas for the pur pose of demoralizing the enemy; and the exploitation without an instant's delay, regardless of cost, of the initial success, The battle was rehearsed iu all of its details behind the French front before being finally started. Plana And Concentration. General von Hutier, conqueror of Riga was counted upon to execute very much the same maneuver on the western front thnt he had on the eastern, He was to cross the Oise iu the same man ner as he did the Duna. Concentra tion for the attack took place only a few days beforo it was launched, the troops being brought up largely by forced night marches, iu order to con ceal their presence from enemy air planes. Tho 113th German division, fori example, by four night inarches arriv ed at liellicourt from Wassigny. The Twenty-seventh division, which was disembarked in the vicinity of Oambrai, is known to have marched 32 kilometer (At miles) during the night of March 20-21, entering action at 5 in the morn ing. Artillery Preparation. So great was the importance which the Germans attached to the secret ar rival of their troops on the battle line, thut the artillery preparation which last ed for a few hours, was begun at 4:30 o'clock on the morning of March 21, while the troops that were to be engag ed in the attack were still on the march towards the front. Following an ex treniely intense and violent artillery preparation, including barrages ia which a large proportion of gas shells was used, dense concentrated fires on the enemy's battery aone, and heavy fire on all the routes leading up to the Kuglish front and the zones ia the rear, the first progression of infantry was mado at 9:43 on the morning of' March 21. The infantry leaped from the trenches in several successive waves, the first wave being ordered to attain Its objective absolutely regardless of Sloss, and without stopping to wipe out maehaie-guu nests or centers of resist- try was installed on the objective as MK"eu m ii, u nan orders to open a barrage with machine guns and rifles ar a instance or ,000 yards ahead, with a degreo of intensity tulenlatsd to per- uii,v me enemy aim wipe out its re serves. The second wave of assault in t!ic meantime was to dash over the Leads of the first wave fo; the conques' oi the second objpetive. This method was to be continued indefiuitelv, the nuvancing troops being accompanied by light artillery and mounted trench mor tars. formation of German Batile Front 1 or the purpose of producing an abso lutely rrresistable shock that would car ry them through the enemy's lines and permit them to engage in a big o;i;n, decisive, battle in the rear, the Gennnns employed a density of troops, not only facing the enemy, but extending to a degree of depth rearwards nevor before, attained. Of the fifty divisions engaged each attacked on a front of one mile usually, with three regiments of men inastvd elbow to elbow, although in some eases only two regiments were in the front line, with one regiment in the rear. Each division was sustained by its own artillery, consisting of 12 batteries of field guns and six batter ies of heavy artillery of 210-millimeter calibre, Each regiment usually fought with its three battalions placed one be hind the other. Koch battalion had like wise a massive depth formation, the fiist wave 'consisting of two compan ies with six light macliineguns; the &?c ond wave at 100 yards behind beinir supported by heavy machine guns; while me third wave at 200 to 300 yards in The buttle vas resumed on the morn ing of tho 22d. in the presence of tha kaiser hinsclf. This timj von Below 's army to tho north met v.-ith a greator degree of success, capturing the heights about Croissilles, penetrating into the Brit:sh second position, while in liaison with von der Marwitz's army at its left, tho British second and third positions were attained through cap ture of Gouzeacourt, Heudicourt. Vil-lors-Faucon, Hoisel, Epehy and Ver mand, forcing evacuation of the Cain brai salient. In the ineantinte Von Huitev'3 army, which was conducting tho southern Bttack. penetrated the British third division, crossed the Crozat panel, and forced the passage of tno uise west of Latere. French Armies Intervene, T . 1 . ! . miring mc ariernoon or tne ZM, m the face o? this situation south of the Womme, a French armv was ordered forward to relieve tho British divisions engaged ni the extreme end of their ! broken line, and keep up the liaison between the French and the British armiN. The result of this intervene tion was noticeable almost immediate ly. During the 21st and the 22d, the various pdwaneing German armies were marching with the' unmistakable inten tion of filtering into tho valley of the Oise. as quickly at possible, From the moment they encountered trie determ ined French resistance, they were forced one after another to . clinnae their direction toward the west. Battle of Noyon. Tho 'unst desperate fighting followed for two succeeding days, the main ob ject of'the French being to retard the German advance at all cost. To this end Noyon, after being defended for a time, was abandoned, and tho French retired back of tho city, where, taking up their positions on Mount Renaud, they were al.e definitely to check on March 25, any further advance of tho Germans into the Valley of the Oise and force them to change their advance to the direction of Montdidier. Despite the. fiercest fighting since for the pos session of Mount Itenaud, this position, which foims the pivot of the French lines, has remained in allied possession barring completely tho route to Paris. Battle of Montdidier In tho meantime the British army, which after being thrown back from St, Quentin had been able to maintain itself on the Somme, was forced on the morning of the 24th to fall back in the direction of Rove and Nesle which wero successively lost, until finally on March 27 the Allied line crossed the Avro between Roye and Montdidier. By quick marches the Gcruans again endeavored ta break the British and French line at their point of juncture, but tho allies fighting with their backs to the wall, sacrificing Mont didier but keeping up their contact, were abb on March 28 by a magnifi cent counterattack to throw the Ger mans back from the villages they had taken sin: of Montdidier and definite ly establish, a line which all succeeding attacks of the Germans have failed to weaken.
