The Germans in their frantic effort to take Amiens are pressing In from.the northeast, east and southeast following three railway lines converging upon the city. Haig's report today of the fighting in that region indicates the enemy is concentrating in a frontal attack from the east and that tne enveloping movement on the two flanks of this sector is awaiting the outcome. Hlndenburg has met with considerable more success in this route and the one to the southeast than in his attempted advance from tho northeast. The statement said the British after beating off several assaut3 and inflicting heavy losses on the Germans had been forced to fall back to positions about eight miles east of Amiens and about midway between the Luce and the Somme. It marks the closest approach of the Germans to their objective. Haig said the Lritish are holding the enemy in these new positiens. To the southeast the Germans have battered away along" the route of the railway which runs from Montdldier through Morenil to Aisn?. The nearest the enemy has approached Amiens along this route is more than ten miles from the city. . The northeastern route is along the railroad which runs from Albert to Amiens. The Germans have been firmly held in the western outskirts of Albert but below this city the battle line swings to the southwest and runs along the railway. Activities north of the Somme, Haig reported, are limited to artillery fighting with the enemy's particular activity iu the Scarpe valley.
