The front of attack is about 40 miles, which is about 1$ miles shorter than the line of the original German attack on March 21. la turning to a new sector to strike their blow th Germans have taken a course contrary to that which had generally been predicted by The view usualmilitary commentators during the past operations so heavly expressed has been that the Cermans were committed ily to their campaign In Picardy and Flanders, and were occupying such dangerously exposed positions that they were under the necessity of striking again at these points when they resumed the attack. It is not unlikely, however, that the attack on Ihe Aisne front will be followed by renewal of the offensive on the other battlefields. The German strategy may contemplate s' surprise attack in sufficient strength to, compel Gen. Foch to withdraw troops from the north, in th hop of involving ths Allies sufficiently on the Aisne front to weaken their line in Picardy and Flanders. No Element of Surprise . toaist If the Germans counted on the element of surprise them In the new attack they probably have fallen Into a miscalculation. It is evident from th official British statement that new dispositions of troops Before the Marph offensive th have been made along the Aisne front. British line ran to the Oise river, south of fit Quentin Going to the assistance of the British the French took over a sector extending to a point east of Amiens. There has been no previous Intimation of tbe presence of British troops on this part of the line except for la- -t nights German official state1 ment. In this statement It was said that the region of the Aisne, northeast of La Neuville, British were taken prisoners. American troops may be taking part in the new battle Early In the spring there were several references In Mewrs dispatches o the presence of Americans at that part of the line Part of these forces consisted of artillery detachments ill training but at one point at least infantrymen were in the trenches. There has been no recent references there, however, and jr they may have been withdrawn. -- Germans Made Progress.
