THE STRCOOLB IN FRANCE.

The Situation Satisfactory for Allies.

London, March 3 Reuter's correspondent at Headquarters 85ya: The situa tion to-day is satisfactory for the Alliea. The slowing down of hostilities is probably a dull before the renewed storm The enemy is rushing up artillery and reorganising and when this is completed the confict will recommence wita great intensity. We are awaiting his next move with the same old spirit of optimism which has never forsaken our men throughout the titanie struggle. Immediately the enemy. captured Mezieres we counter-attacked vigorously in face of a terrific machine-gun barrage from the enemy. Our attempt was ultimately abandoned owing to the groat strength of the enemy. However our attackers actually brought back prison- ers. The loss of this position does not alter the situation' materially. Our hold on Lace Valley is considered satisfac sory. A body of our troops who were eareloped in Roeux on Maren 23 fought the enemy till darkness and, then rejoined the main body througa a gap in the enemy line. It is reported today that the Germans are digging in between Thiepval and La Boiselle.

Heavy Fighting Proceeding,

London, March 30).

The War Office states: North of the Sorame the situation is unchanged. South of the Somme our positions were main- tained. Heavy attacks on the French front enabled the Ger mans to gain ground westward of the Avre and southward and south-eastward of Montdidier. The enemy captured the villages of Aubrillers, Grivesnes, Cantigny, Mesnil St. Georges, Le Monchel and Ayencourt. Heavy fighting is proceeding aastward of the latter place and the exact situa tion is unknown. The weather has broken and there is heavy rain.

British Cavalry's Good Work.

Londen, March 30.

Field Marshal Sir Doughs Haig reports: North of the Somme there have been local actions, only. The enemy's - attacks. yesterday at Demain and Mazieres, south of the Somme, were pressed back by our troops. Froin the latter village we secured a number of prisoners in counter-attacks. All the enemy's attacks at Demain broke down after sharp fighting lasting throughout the afternoon. Our cavalry, during the past week, have fought with great gallantry, both mounted and dismounted, and repulsed the enemy, inflicting heavy losses in numerous engagements.

Big Battle oa French Front.

London, March 30.

A French communique states: The battle was resumed daring the night with renewed violence and now rages on a front of forty kilometres from Moreuil to beyond Lessigny. Our troops, supported by reserves, which conunue to arrive, are offering a determined resistance to powerful assaulta. Our airmën, notwithstanding bad weather, made renewed attacks on the 27th, and 28th, dying in groups and spraying with machine gun fire and bombs enemy troops in the battle- line and in concentration zones. Several machines made as many as three sorties in one day. 17,000 kilometres of project iles were dropped on Noyon, Guiscord, and the Ham region. One of our chaser aquadrons in the course of numerous con- tests brought down thirteen machines, seven of which were totally destroyed, six seriously damaged. Two of the enemy's captive balloons were set of fire.

A Favourable Outlook.

París, March 30.

A semi-official message dated March 30 states: It is anti- cipated that the Allied Command will only take the initiative after the expected new strong German attack in the direc tion of Amiens has been broken. The Allies are now in a most favourable condition for carrying on the defensive and Assuming the offensive. The Third and Fifth British Armies bare been entirely reconstituted with fresh reserves. It is conservatively estimated that the German losses total 200,000.

German Claims.

London March 30.

A wireless German official message states: We have cleared Avete. We drove out British and French from parta of the foremost positions between the Somme and the Arre. and have captured Beaucourt and Mezieres. French attacks against Montdidier Failed.

We earnestly pray that com plete success may crown the beroic and noble stand which the sons of freedom are making ander your able leadership.

THE CAPTURES IN MESOPOTAMIA.

London, March 30.

A Mesopotamia communique states: Pursuing the rem nants of the Turkish force we advanced beyond Ana, 50 miles north-westward of it. The captures prove of great im-'. portance, including large depots at Haditna and Ana, con- taining quantities of stores, also many small river-boats. The prisoners are now 5,000.

"PROCESS 'N PALESTINE.

London, March 30,

A Palestine official message says: Despite stubborn op- position the operations eastward of the Jordan have continn- ed successfully. Colonial mounted troops destroyed several miles of the track of the Hedjaz railway. We also attacked westward of the Jordan where the left and centre of our line advanced to a maximum depth of two miles on an eight miles' front.
