Increasing Allled Confidence.

London, April 19. A special message says that German outposts have been unable to advance beyond the north side of the village of Meteres. It cannot be said that the general situation in less anxious but there is undoubtedly increasing confidence in the unity of command, the effects of which cannot fally be appreciated in these early stages of a series of great battles. There is still an expectation of a renewed German thrust at Amiens and French correspondents speak of spormous enemy concentrations between Arrse and Amiens. Mean while enemy propagande. is sowing broadcast among the neutrals reports of depression and war weariness in the United Kingdom and the Dominions, which is strongly strariance with the real feeling here. Simultaneously the enemy is conducting a campaign of newe papers articles and speeches in Germany itself, preaching the necessity of huge indemnities from the western powers in addition

A Comparatively Quiet Night.

AMA. London, April 19. Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig reports: We repulsed the hostile attacks reported to be progressing yesterday morning to the south of Kemmsi. Oar artillery and machine guns broke up attecke in the evening in the same locality. The night was comparatively quist on the whole British front, save for reciprocal artillery firing in the battle sectors. Hinor enterprises at different points have yielded a few prisoners and machine gana. The regiments of six German divisions participsied yesterday in unsucessful attacks in the Givenchy Saint Venant sector. The Eghting at Givenchy, elawhere, ended in the complete repoles of the enemy, who, after most determined and costly assaulis, only secured a limited footing at one or two points in our more advanced defences. Our artillery inflicted heavy casualties before the attacks opened. Enemy losses in the day's fighting were equally severe.
