London, May 1S.-Field Marshal Sir
John French has broken his silence in
regard to the movements of the Brit.
ish army northwest of LeBassee, with
the announcement of an advance of
nearly mile into the German line.
This, together with the continuance
of the French .thrusts both north of
Ypres and southwest of LaBassee, con.

military situation.
Military commentators here regard
the British advance as a genuine break

Breaks German Connection.
Recapture of the bridge over the
User canal of Steenstraete by the
French depriyes the Germans of their
last connection with the west side of
the waterway. German assaults on
the British position at Ypres seem to
have spent themselves, at least for the
moment, as Field Marshal French re-
ports all has been quiet for the last
several days.
Official reports from Petrograd do
little to minimize the severity of the
defeat which the Russians have ex.
perienced over practically the whole
line from central Poland The opera.

A Berlin dispatch asserts the Rus
slams have suffered very heavy losses
in Galacia, notwithstanding their
denials. The Austrians apparently
have made further slight gain but
the Russians, strongly placed on the
river San are offering stubborn resis-
lance. A great battle is expected
along the river.
