By Awoeinted Ppgan. By Awocisted Pre**:
NEW TBRK, April 21.—Oa* of the I « itm tuv ns
biggest battle* of tbe war, aad peuibly
the deciding one, is in progres* to
alrthgn France. The Brittoh, after aa
attack of a week, eased ap a few days
ago, giving way to the French, who
started Monday with a magnificent
rnah, peaking tbe German* back as
much as four miles in some places along
th* river Aisne and well into i Cham
pagne.
Within the laat day or two, however, ’
they also let down somewhat in the to-:
tensity of their attack*. New both ah-|
mies seemingly are again ready for a
renewed attack, if indeed, they have not
already begun if, and signs ar* not
wanting that such ia th* case.
Strong artillery bombardment* were
begun all along the river Aisne Friday
afternoon and continued Saturday night,
according to reports from Berlin. This
indicates that the entente ia again pre-
paring for a big infantry movement.
Should the French break through the
German line again *omething approach-,
ing disaster undoubtedly win fall to the
German lot, the effect of which will at
least be another far-enforced retirement.
Berlin reports indicate that th* Brit-
ish ar* about to resume their drive to;
the Arras sector. They say the British :
since Friday have been increasing grad-
ually the intensity of tleir big-gun fire
along the line held by the British, and
the Hindenburg line is already suffering
a terrific hammering.
Indeed it would not be surprising if
the British and Frenth launch a com
btoed. attack on the entire wee tern front
at any moment.
33,000 UERMAN PRISONERS
Paris report* Saturday night announ
eed that Germans tathnWisoner by the
British and French since the present ac-
tion started, numbered thirty three
thousand, with 330 big guns. London
says that a German counter attack at i
Gonneliev, which was taken Saturday by
the British, was repulsed, and th* Ger-
mans left many dead on the field. Brit- j
ish made additional gains east of Fam-
poux and southwest of Lens.
GERMAN DESTROYERS SUNK I
«' Two and possibly three of the fiv£
1 German destroyers which attacked Do-
Iver Friday night were sunk by British
i patrol ships. The engagement lasted
| only five minutes. Two more Belgian
{relief ships were sunk today by German
submarines.
| FRENCH MAKE FURTHER GAINS
1 Paris, April 21.—French troops made
further gains last night in grenade fight- i
'ing south of Juveocourt and east of
Courcy. A German attack against Mont '
j Haut failed, the war office announces,
i Artillery fighting is very active over '
| the French offensive front and the battle
,of guns raged with particular violence J
east of Graonne and north of Rheims. '
