NEITHER SIDE Wins
IN YPRES DEADLOCK
Field Marshal French Says Both Have
Taken Trenches. Though Effective
Upper Hand Remains Unsecured.
Nv HERBERT TEMPLE

London. Feb. 23-The deadlock in
the Ypres region of West Flanders.
where the British and Germans are
struggling for mastery. remains un-
broken. This is shown by the in
stallment of Field Marshal Sir John
French's biweekly report, which was
issued through the press bureau TO-
day. Although both sides are fight
ing desperately for possession of
trenches, neither has been able to Sc
cure a decisive victory.
Field Marshal French's report says
in part:
There have been several attacks
and counter-attacks near Ypres. The
enemy destroyed a British trench and
the British captured a German trench.
The German attack along the La
Bassee Canal has been repulsed. Else
where there were artillery duels.
AT 6 o'clock Sunday morning the
enemy exploded an elaborate series
of mines which destroyed one of our
trenches. A new line prepared short
distance in the rear, was Immediately
make further progress was completely
frustrated.
Near Gwenchy (French) our infan-
try, after a successful bomba rdment
captured and blew up an enemy's
trench. An attempted attack by the
Germans along the La Bassee Canal
was easily repulsed by our artillery.
South of the Lys there has been
an increase in the volume of artillery
and rifle fire wherein our troops have
shown themselves masters of the foe.
Thick weather has impeded the work
of our airmen."

New low records for exchange on Con-
