While the entente guns are still
hammering the German lines in
Flanders with a fury apparently
equal to that of the original bonn
bardment, the infantry has not been
inactive. To-day important gains by
both the British and French on a
seven.-mile front, taking in Westhoek
and BiXschoote, are reported.
British troops last night finished
the task of driving the Germans
from the town of Westhoek and like
wise cleared them from the lines
they still were ciinging to on the
ridge near the town. This forward
movement gives Field Marshal Haig
a~far better hold of the section of
the line Immediately east of the
Ypres.
French Push Ahead
The French on their front near
BiXschoote advanced east and north
of that place, adding to the gains
they had recently effected in this
sector.
Silence from the British side re-
garding the artillery battle continues.
