CARTER FURNITURE CO Leading Furniture Dealers and Funeral Directors. ALLIES HOLD LINES. German Offensive Has Passed High Tide —Americans With Haig’s Forces — Unlilcatlon of All the Armies Opposing the German Forces. The great battle goes on. The allies have checked the German advance and counter-attacks have begun. Evidently the German offensive has passed high-tide and counter-attacks are now under way. The allies will prob ably regain some ground lost and then both sides will dig in for all summer stay. The talk is now that two to three years will be necessary to end the war on the west front. A big event of the past few days is the entrance of the Americans into the big struggle. As allied troops begin offensive movements on the Picardy battle field, say the dispatches yester day, the German assaults shpw signs of slackening both in num bers and intensity and the Ger mans are digging themselves in feverishly around Lass gny on the southern line of the salient, Where French pressure has been heavy, South of the Somme the tide turned Sunday. German assaults were repulsed and the French made good gains. The German peace drive to ward Amiens, Paris, and the channel ports is fast becoming a battle of the nations. The con flict opened with British and German soldiers the adversaries. Since then the French and American armies have joined with Field Marshal Haig’s forces while Austrian and Bulgarian troops are aiding the enemy. Canadian cavalry and Australian infantry have been doing much of the fighting under the British flag in the last two days. Over the roads to the battle field, in motor trucks and on foot, 100,000 American soldiers are moving to join the fight against the invader and to drive him back An important event of the week on the side of the allies was the unification of all the armies opposing the Germans, a step which the American and French military men long have urged and which apparently has been brought about by the gigantic thrust of the enemy in Franoe. Gen. Foch, chief of the French general staff. is realiz s realized that with one head to direct all the opposition to the Germans much better results will be obtained. This action is generally believed to mean an immediate and general offensive on the part of the allies. Some of the War’s Big I ) rivet o and Results. Here are the dates and figures showing some of the attempts both sides have previously made and failed to break through on the west front. February, 1915—British at Nueve Chapelle; advanced one mile on two mile front then were stopped.
