BOMBARDMENT OF ALLIES' ARTILLERY MOST TER RIFIC OF WHOLE WAR HEAVY FIGHTING IN CARPATHIANS Fog Interfers With Operations of j Allied Fleets Against the Dardanelles LONDON', March l!!.?Urla'rh suc cesses of the last few clays were due to their artillery, which apparently is superior to that of the Germans, according to the story of the "British eyewitness." Issued tonight. The Drit Ish guns, including heavy howitzers, opened the way for an advance by the Drltlsh Indian troops, which carried them to and beyond the village of Neuve Chapelle, while airmen, by dropping bombs on the railways, pre- i entcd the Germans from bringing up reinforcement.-'.

The German trenched on ' which the artillery tire was directed are completely wrecked, bo that ex- 1 cept in one or two pinces, which had virtually been converted into fort- j reuses, the infantry were able to ad- ' "vance without much difficulty. Tilt, success has greatly heartened I the British troopB, who have spent the winter in the trenches, and gives them hope thnt when the great general movement is decided upon they will i be able to carry all before them. The Germans, according to reports j already are sending large numbers-of troops to Flanders in the belief that a general oft.'hslve by the allies has Ucen begun. The impression horc, however, Is that the British thrust was only part ; of the allied strategy, which' aims at1 keeping the Germans busy in both ! fronts, j thus preventing theni^ from concentrating at any one point. Concurrently the French continue their offensive in Champagne and the j Vosges and lire strengthening the j ground which they have won in re-; cent battles. In the east the German offensive as fast as anticipated. The Russians are offering stubborn resistance to ! their .advance, along parallel roads,! -and. owing to inability of the Germans against I'rzasnysz is not developing to entrench in the frozen ground, have, according to the Petrograd re ports, thus far had the advantage in the preliminary fighting. In fact, the Germans are said to have withdrawn r' theirjTront to the north of Przasnysz. i Heavy lighting Is in progress in the i Carpathians, despite snowstorms and SS deep drifts.
