Withdrawal on the Belgian
Front Continues.
FURTHER RETREAT LIKELY
General Haig's Dispatches Indicate
important Developments May Grow
Out of Present Offensive Against
Teutonic Forces.

London, June 16-The British cam
paign in Belgium gives signs of de-
veloping into one of the most impor-
tant Of the war The Germans are be-
ing forced forced back at a compare
lively rapid rate
Latest reports bring the announce
ment of another considerable advance
by the British in this area. They at
tackled south and east of Messines
and on both sides of the Ypres-Co-
mines canal, gaining all their objec-
tives.
The front line in the British often
sive movement extends seven miles
from the village of Klein Zillebeke
south to the river Warnaye. This at
tack, the elimination of constant
pressure, yielded General Plumer's
troops the German front trenches be-
tween the Warnave and the Lys, be-
sides additional ground to the north,
i'm the sector between Ypres and Co
mines. the official statement indi-
Gates.
Signs of probable further retreat
of the Germans are not wanting. Cor
respondents have reported the with
drawal of the German big guns east
and southeast of Messines to the ex-
treme limit of their range.
The British artillery command OF
the situation seems to be almost
wholly responsible for this and the
other yielding tendencies of the Ger
mans.
The British big guns obtained theiI
advantage when Messines ridge, the
only commanding eminence in the re
gion, was stormed at the opening oi
the offensive.
General Haig's dispatches have in
dicated that important development:
might be expected to grow out of the
offensive in Belgium and his predic
tions appear to be in the way of be
ing made good.
