Germany Uses Five Hundred Thousand On Aisne Front
An International News Service dispatch reports that Germany has massed about 500000 troops for the Aisne offensive. Analysts note German divisions may be kept near prewar strength and center thrusts near Amiens could be decisive. Observers debate allied reserves and the intent to drive a wedge between forces while Foch and Petain are cited as prepared to counter. Mrs. J. R. Erwin of Austin visited relatives in Liano last week.

German Drive In West Slowed Amid Keen Aisne Battle
German forces press along a widening front in the Aisne region near Vallly and Berry-au-Bac, driving Allied troops back as British and French units retire with supplies.
