(Ht Fnited Press. ' WASHINGTON, March 26. The hour j for the great allied counter drive is near; allied and American officers predieted, today. The kaiser's leg-ions are ; close to the old battle line before the , Somme campaign of 1916 and there American officers expect the allies to ; make a. determined stand. j "The German drive. I am confident. , will be definitely halted on that line.", said a well known officer today. "There j the enemy will find unbroken barbed wire belts, undamaged trenches, concrete redoubts and machine gun em place- ; ments. They cannot hope to penetrate this barrier without bringing up the heaviest artillery. The interval will give the allies time to get re-rr.forcement s up to the line nnd to reorganize for the real test of strength." That Germany lias failed to break the British line at the end of the "first phase eif the battle" was the opinion cf high allied military authorities here, set forth in a review today of the five days' cf fighting. i The position in the battle zone is nowclear, it said, and it is possible to-get a more general view of what has happened. "Several heavy aUaoks on parts of j the line have been repulsed and the line i in general is being held. British and J French reserves are being brought up. t The first phase has not ended so sue-j
cessfully as Himlcnberg would have; the world believe. 1;. is clear now that the German intention was to crush our front
lines and break right through into thi open country beyond. It is probable that Amiens was his first objective. I "The enemy has failed in the effort, with a huge sacrifice be has bent the al- , lied line but failed to break it. )
"He may make further advances but so long as our line is not broken we can afford to retire still further without giving him victory to compensate hltn for his immense josses."

DON'T BE , DEPRESSED! IS IRWIN'S ADVICE By Will IBWIN (Written for the United Press.) WASHINGTON. March 26. Nothing in the west front situation warrants pessimism or depression and America and her allies should guard against these feelings which sap morale. Among some classes in the allied countries at the time of Verdun, Ypres and other offensives there was a depression verging on panic, yet in all cases the offensives turned out as allied victories. In the Verdun offensive the Germans gained six miles in the first few hours, took 35,000 prisoners. Yet the French won at Verdun. I hear much said of the 30,000 prisoners already taken in this offensive. Yet all must remember that this offensive is much larger than the Verdun, and that the German success is not proportionately so great as at Verdun. And the larger the action, the larger the loss of prisoners. Even if in the next few days we see what appears an alarming advance we should not lose confidence. In this connection I will point out that before the Marne, when I was in Belgium, we kept hearing of a twenty-mile-a-day advance toward Paris, which looked like a practice march. We now know that the French were ' permitting them to come on toward Paris only to turn them back at the Marne. This movement now would appeir to me to be a maneuver to get the German out in the open where they want him. He is good on machinery, but when the machinery breaks down or goes wrong he fails. The Frenchman, on the other hand, has genius. Open fighting gives an opportunity for genius and originality.

WAS EEYIEW. Eindenberg-, blocked on his right flank by the stubborn resistentfe of tho British near Courclette is ccnccn' riting1 his attack soul a of tho Somine ?n tho region of llcyoa and E,cye. This would appear to be a continuation of the effort to drive a wedge bet-ween the British and Trench lines which converge in this vicinity. Both tho British and Trench evi- . .-dently are f ailing- back here, evacuating1 Noycn and several small towns. The right flank of the Trench i hclding slcn? the Olse and the French still maintain their positions on the sonh' bank of tho river, according to tho Trench official report. The German commander has thus succeeded in pushing' a wide salient Into the allied lines. This swings southm-st from erone, turns southward at Chatvlu's, continues south to E.iys, bends o itheastward at Noyon, then swerves abruptly eastward following the courso of the Oise to tho original brvttle-front at La Fere. This salient is ::0 m'les across from Peronne to LaFe:e and is almost 24 miles deep the distance from St. Cnentln to Koye. A further advance in this direction will increase Kindencerg-'s danger of a flarLt attack. it iS rather probable that such an allied attack could come from the north as reserves are needed in that region to defend Albert. It is not improbable, however, that a mobile reserve force will be finny against the German left Hank along- the Oise.

L'xitf.d Press Cablegram. I By V.'M. PHILLIP SIMMS. WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN THE FIELD, March 26. The sixth day of the monster battle finds the British and Germans fighting like tigers ' across the Pozieres' ridge which Haig wrested from Hindenburg in the fall of 1 1916. i T- . j Furious fighting continues, the I enemy throwing masses in thc di-
j rection of Albert from thc
Aground around Mt. Auban.

. GERMANS TBTINO FOB WEDGE. ; The Germans also p.re thrustii, v.ct- ! w-;;-d frcm N.-slo. attempt ing to drive a v. edge there. But their progress ctmtinues slow. j The. Germans were reported today along a line through I.ogeast wood and j Mt. Auban. lighting madly toward the '. valley ,f the Won.lv Ancre
The airmen are prohtins by both the sunshine and star light. 200 MACHINES BROUGHT BOWK, Puring the past four days' lighting more than 2 no machines have been brought down. One hundred and twenty-seven have bee nseen to cr;,si tr earth in kindling wood while 63 werobserved falling beyond control. Hindenburg is driving .10 divisions until they are exhausted, then thirty more. When these are spent and the lirst somewhat refreshed, leap-frogging tho first through the second, after substituting fresh divisions at the rear, is begun. BRITISH ESTABLISH NEW POSITION Fighting has died down east of Albert and Koye. Field Marshal Haig reported today. The Lritish have established new positions there. (Albert is 12 miles southwest cf Bapaume. Jt wa toward this city the the only German advance- record J y terday afternoon occurred. Koy.. ji , miles southwest of Nesle which niarli 4 the furthest German advance. Koye i24 miles southwest of St. Quentin where the lines were held before the German advance bean.) "North of the Somme. continuation of the expected fighting has not developed jet." the statement says. NEW ATTACKS ARE DEVELOPING. "South of the Sommc this morning, attacks were reported developing also against the Trench in the neighborhood of Itoyc and Chaulnes. "The enemy's losses continue severe. He has been obliged to reenforce his lines from all parts of the western theater. Over 70 hostile divisions are known to be engaged.-' The Somme splits the battle front in the vicinity of Peronne. Chaulnes is 8
! miles north of Koye, 21 miles due west
J of St. Qufiitm and S miles southwest of Peronne. ' Seventy divisions. acce.Tding to most ! authorities, would mean 32.",'i'm infantry or possiblv Hu.ooi.i men of all depart- ' ments.

The French are holding solidly on the left bunk of the oise. (Noyon is about 21 miles west and south of La Fere which marked the line before thc big drive started.) The battle continued violently during Monday evening. The enemy multiplied its attacks on the Noj on-Chaulnes front. Thc French artillery wtts well established in the Noyon region and supported the infantry who.?.; resistence and frequent counter attacks ebd.iyed tho German driven nnd inflicted heavy losses.
