ALLIES RETAIN GRIP ON HILL %
IN SPITE OF GAS FUMES
USED BY GERMANS.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

London, May 6.-The German Off
cial report claims victories both over
the Russians in western Galicia and
over the British to the east OF Ipres
in Flanders. Field Marshal Sir John
French, the British commander-in-
chief, admitted that he was compelled
to retreat and readjust his lines in the
region of Ypres, but the French COM
munication, far from confirming Ger
man victory in Belgium, states that the
German attacks were repulsed and
that the Germans, being taken on the
flank by French artillery, suffered
very severely.
A late report from the British war
office also says that German attacks
were repulsed, although the Germans
used asphyxiating gases and did get a
footing by the use of these fumes on
hill No. so, southeast of Ypres, which,
since the British captured it recently,
has been repeatedly attacked. The
British claim to have recaptured these
positions.
There has been fighting all along
the rest OF the western 'front.' IN all OF
which the Germans claim to have been
successful The French. however, have
another story to tell. They insist that
their advance continues both along
the User canal, in Flanders and il the
Woevre, where battles have been con-
tinuous for many weeks
To the nine trawlers, the sinking OF
which by German submarines was re-
ported, another victim was added. A
Norwegian steamer landed the crew
of the trawler Sceptre, which was tor
pedoed forty miles off Peterhead.
This brings the total number of
trawler victims Of German underw&
ter boats since Sunday up to fifteen.
