ported yesterday from the two ex-
tremes of the 800 mile battle front,
sweeping in a. Jagged arc from the
Mosefle through France to the Bel
gian North sea coast.
Everywhere the F'ranco-British line
has held, and at some points notable
advantage has been gained. Laven-
tie, west Of Lille, has been added to
the French line of offensive positions
in the battle of the Lys as result of
a stubbornly contested and courage
ously fought engagement. in which
the losses Of both sides were heavy.
Elsewhere on the left wing numer-
Gus engagements have been fought
along the new line. which has been
extended until the allies battlefront

effort to cut the German line to the
east, with every prospect of success.

en- back by the French, who have
taken the offensive from their gar
risoned and strongly fortified positions
Of Toul and Nancy in an endeavor to
carry out the plan of interrupting tn
German crown princes lines Of COM
munication between the Meuse and
Metz.
The German armies here, principal
ly that of Crown Prince Frederick
Wilhelm, had been severely weakened
by the withdrawal Of several crack
Prussian corps, sent to the aid of Won
Kluck, and these have never been re-
placed.

Now the position Of the German
crown prince has been seriously en-
dangered by the French domination
of the Nancy-Metz route by which a
German retreat might be effected.
Yesterday the Germans essayed an.
other attempt to cut through the
French line northwest of yerdun in
