TfiE MORNING STAR, WILMINGTON, N..G, SUNDAY, MARCH 3ly l?l8. TWO. I: 4 s i I ' I1 I Division After Division is Thrown Into the Battle Vaa Hatter, Caawtig the Cwm Prince' Army Ataekia- Ifreack, is Using Hla Ma Wit Ap parent "Reckl"jies. - With the French Army in France, iTarch 30 (By The Associated "Press). The heavy bombardment which was in progress last night when the correal spondent left the front, develpped to day In a general battle along the " French line from Moreuil toueyond LassigTiy. Here one of the crown prince's armies, under Von Hutier, made a series of smashing assaults - aimed at various points and extending 25 miles. The French reserves came into ac tion with the g-eratest vigor, offering the sternest resistance. "Von Hutier is utilizing the method of atack which was successful at Riga, but this time he finds himself confronted by troops who axe prepared to meet all his ruses. He is throwing division after division ' into the battle with what appears to . be recklessness but this, principle ot risking an entire force In order to at tain an object can only be successful when the adversaries axe inferior . in quality or overwhelmed by numbers. The French line is displaying splen did resistance, and while the Germans ere expending an enormous part of their strength, the French . troops re . tain the virile power to making a strong counter stroke in which they will be aided by their reserves which, up to the present, have for the most only been held in readiness to step into the arena when the enemy shows signs of weakening. The Germans appear : to have found time to bring up large numbers of guns and trench "mortars. Nothing definite has yet be.en accomplished ; since today's onslaught begun. The French troops are fighting con fidently and cheerfully. It is possible that some small fluctuations in the line will occur In the course of the day, but only at the Heaviest cost to the Germans who have again adopted the dense wave formation during an attack, offering splendid targets to the famous French field guns and machine guns. A large number of American, trans port" sections are taking an actilre part ; in bringing up supplies. Behind .the . . lines, especially farther north, French and British troops are working In per fect harmony. During the rapid re Urement in, the first days of the battle .i. many British units became separated, '".but never lost discipline. The larger units now are under reorganization, V preparing to take their places again In the battle line.

There is a com bined effort of all th people through out the Wilmington section to make their schools second to none in the United States. A liberal policy has been adopted ; by the ooard of educa tion.
