ASSOCIATED Press War Summary
General Haig has launched his
expected blow at the German
lines in Belgium, striking early
this morning on a nine-mile front
along the Wyschaete ridge be-
tween Ypres and Lille.
Success marks the opening of
the offensive, the British winning
|, all their initial objectives and,
pushing on, their further progress
is satisfactory.
While a considerable stretch
separates the field of this new of
fensive from that Of Arras, the
operations may be considered as
in conjunction with the contin-
uing battle on the Arras front. A
sweeping salient in front of Lille
has been created by the Arras at
tack and in a broad sense this
salient is now under threat from
both the north and south.
Belying the recent German boast
that the British offensive from Arras
has come to a halt. Gen. Haig earlier
this week proved that he had not lost
his initiative. thereby making a sue
cessful drive to the south OF Lens,
carrying a mile of German front north
of the Scarpe.
The reverberations from this blow
had hardly died away before today's
attack was launched on the other side
Of the Lille salient.
A sharp, well-defined curve in the
German line about three miles and
the same distance across is the i'm
mediate object of the new attack. In
common with other sections OF the
line in Belgium along a front of some
80 miles, its defenses have been sub
jected TO pounding by the British arr
tillery for days.
The French front Is comparatively
quiet. The only development of note
last night was a German attack north
of ST. Quentin. This was checked by
French FIRE.
Conditions in Russia appear more
promising from several angles.
Today brings new indications OF the
increased part the United States is
daily taking in the war.
Germans Take Trenches.
Berlin, via London, June Ger
man troops yesterday captured French
positions over an extent OF one and
one quarter miles along the Chemin-
des Danes front south Of Pargny-
Filain, in the Aisne region. says the
official statement issued today by the
German army headquarters staff.
The statement adds: THE battle
in Flanders fully hared up in most
extensive explosions and most Vtol-
ent drum fire."

In Germany now there are advertise
men which are not only news, but
imply a great deal outside of the direct
news sought to be conveyed.
As an instance the Berlin Tages
Zeitung recently contained a want ad,
reading as follows: "For exchange, so

for the same number of other hands,"
Polish laborers in Germany are not
permitted to change matters or to
from place to place without gov
eminent authorization. With such au-
thorization, however, the masters can
make exchanges, as we trade horses
and mules, or as our housewives ex-
change soap grease for soap. or old
rags for door mats, kitchen tins and
such.-Exchange.

Too Many servants In Britain.

Duncan Miller asked the minister Of
national service, says the London
Times. whether his attention has been
called to the number of advertisements
for servants in households Of one, two
or three persons, where seven to ten
indoor servants are already kept, and
whether he proposes to limit the num-
Der of indoor servants employed In
each household. The minister of ma
tlonal service replied that he had al
ready pointed out how essential 1t is,
In the national interest, that no per-
son should employ more servants than
are absolutely necessary. The min
lister trusts that the awakened con
sciences of those who have In this
respect failed to appreciate their duty
will provide an immediate and SUM-
cient remedy. II not, he will tell his
plan in the general statement on man
