MAY LOSE SIGHT OF LEFT EYE.

l.. H. Allen is at Jefferson Hospital,
Philadelphia, for treatment of his left
eye. A week ago, while opening a
box, a small spark of steel from the
hammer flew into his eye. 1t was not
at first regarded as serious, but the
specialists have been unable to locate
the fragment, and it is now feared
that he will lose the sight of this eye.

BRITISH ADMITLOSS
OF 3 POINTS IN WEST
Report Indicates Evacuation
Of Towns Near Yprcs Was
Probably Voluntary.
OUTLOOK MAY BE SERIOV :
Sp,cioI Cabi, Despd,cI 10 Tpr suN

LoNpoN, May 4-Three more villages
in the viciaity Of Ypres have been taken
by the Germans, according to state
ment issued IN Berlin to-day and cor
roborated by report from Gen. Sir
John French. which appeared s!multa-
neously in Londan.
Berlin does not speak of severe fight
ing as an accompaniment of the VIC
tory, and the opinion is prevalent here
that the British forces purposely evacu-
ated the villages which had been rem
dered practically untenable by reason
of the German advance at 50 julien last
week.
The villages thus taken are Ionuc-
beke, ZcVecote and Westhoek. Zounebeke
lies about four miles east and north of
Ypres, and the two others are situated
in close proximity.
When the Germans occupied St Julien

ating gases-and were enabled TO bring
up their heavy artillery the British posi-
tons AT the three towns mel toned were
left open to a flank FIRE II was there
fore advisable TO draw In the advance
trenches OF the British salient At this
point. This process left Zonnebekc,
Zevecote and Westhoek unoccupied and
the Germans Immediately marched in.
The enforced retreat to the east or
ypres il considered of little impor-
lance in itself but some significance
is attached to II because of the likel-
hood that II may for similar reasons
be necessary to smooth out other parts
of the British salient In this vicinity
which, If a general withdrawal were
required, would he a matter Of con
Siderable Seriousness
Sir John French's communication
containing the news that Ionneb'kc has
been evacuated is AS follows;
THE loss Of ground which resulted
from the unexpected use of asphNHiot-
ing gases by the enemy last week has
necessltated readjus ,mont % our line
before Ypres. This task, ~hi'h had
been in progress for the last few days,
was successfully completed last night.
The new line runs west OF Ionnchuke.
During the last twenty-four hours
the situation has been normal along
the whole front with the exception OF IA
half hearted attack by the enemy north
west of Ypres last evening 1t was
easily beaten Off"
The military critics of the London
papers interpret Sir John FrenChs an
line to the necessity of avoiding the cross
fire to which the British salient had been
exposed n is supposed that the lin"
now curves about three miles east OF
Ypres. The abandonment of the salient
IL not regarded as endangering the posi-
ton or az being in any way serious.
