London, April 26. - The German
rushes in Flanders and the Woevre,
where they claim to have had con-
| siderable success. are believed to be
the forerunners Of another big effort
to break through the allied lines In
the west.
For many days Belgium has been
sealed from the observation of neutrals
while reinforcements from Germany
were being moved to the south to take
mart in the new offensive, which they
hone is to carry them to Calais and
possibly break the resistance of the
allies.
The attack in Flanders, originally
IeveIed at the fifth has been trans

CANADIANS on the immediate right Of

men from the dominion have been en-

Germans from the foothold they had

Prior to this, the close proximity of
the contending sides had led to a
slackening of the bombardment, but it
then broke out afresh and with almost
as great intensity as on the preceding
evening. Our position, however, now
was more secure, and, although the
shelling and bombing never ceased al

have passed in comparative quiet"
The narrative says the bombardment
