ENEMY HELD BY FRENCH.
BATTLE PROMISES T"o BE OF LONG DURATION. {Reuter's Telegram.) (Received April 1, 3 p.m.) LONDON, March 31. Reuter'a representative at French headquarters says: The enemy is firmly held west of Montdidier, where the broken ground facilitates the defence. His nearest point to Amiens is thirteen miles away. All accounts agree regarding the. severity of his losses, but it must l>e remembered that of eighty to ninety divisions thrown into the battle only one-fifth has been withdrawn. He, therefore, has still huge numbers to throw into the attack, and the battle promises to be of long duration. . /
