Hard fighting continues between
the British and the German
around Lens. in northern France,
and near Ypres, in Belgium. The
Canadians have captured and now
hold trenches at the southwestern
edge OF Lens. on the monster Stag
heap known as the GreencraSsier.
The position was not captured
without the hardest kind of fight

Near Ypres. however, Field
Marshal Haig's forces have met
with a slight reverse at the hands
of Crown Prince Rupprecht's
army, having been compelled to
yield ground captured Wednesday
along the Ypres-Menin road. In
