Titanic Armies In
Death Grip Along
Belgian Front
international News Service:

international News Service:
LONDON, June 8. The
gigantic battle which begun in
Belgium yesterday with the
opening of the great British
drive, continued today with un-
abated violence. Around the
crater of Wychette front, south
of YpreS, British and German
soldiers are fighting with demon
like fury.
All England is ringing with
praise for Field Marshal Haig's
army and thrills with pride over
the news that the British are still
pressing onward.
The concrete results of the first
days fighting in the new offensive
are:
IAN advance of from one to
three miles along a nine mile front.
destruction of the famous
German salient that stretched into
the British lines between Ypres and
Armentieres.
Capture of more than 5000
German prisoners.
4.-Occupation by the British of
the villages Of Messines and Oestt-
averne and several pieces Of wood
land.
German pressure against the
British garrison in Ypres relieved.
"Opens the way for the first
steps against the great German
base of Lille.
Swept by Big Guns.
After the British had swept for
ward and occupied the German DO
sitions, the German guns opened
and bombarded the new British
front with great violence. After
ward the Germans made counter
attacks against the southern end Of
the British line from the direction Of
Ploegsteert wood, but they broke
down under the CALLING fire from
the English batteries and the ma
chine guns.
Practically all the credit for the
big victory goes to the British them
selves. although they received some
assistance from the Belgians in the
artillery stage of the action.
Fighting is Spectacular.
Dispatches from the front say
that the lighting which followed the
long and ferocious British, bomb bard
ment was the most spectacular of
the war. Mines which had taken
more than two years to construct,
were set off simultaneously, the ex-
plosion being heard in England, $50
miles away. SO great was the force
of the defamation that the ground
rocked like an earthquake and
showers OF earth and uproOted trees
were thrown down for miles.
The Germans lost heavily. All the
German troops in the trenches
above the mines were blown TO bits.
BY the opening of this drive the
allies offensive on the western
front enters a new phase. The Ger
man lines are now being pounded at
two separate points: In Belgium, on
the Arras front and along the A5sne
river-Champagne line.
