Germans Battling
Fiercely to Hold

Canadians, However, Are Grad

Rich Lille District

Canadian Army Headquarters in
France. June 23.-The furious resist
ance offered by the enemy to any fur
ther advance along the Souchez Valley
in the direction of Lens indicates his
intention 70 hold that city at all costs
as a sole remaining outpost protecting
Lille and the great industrial district
of which Lille is the centre.
Some months ago the German hold
appeared TO be secure. The two ridges
-Mcssines, aboac ten miles north~7-;,
and Vimy, about eighteen miles south
west of Lille-were held in such
strength that their impregnability was
the subject of frequent boasting. Now
both Nimy and Messines ridges are
firmly in our possession, and 10 the
northeast of Lille the advance has been
pushed almost TO the bank Of the Lys,
which is a poor defensive substitute tor

efforts TO extend their gains southeast
Of Filain, which, according to Berlin
comprise a sector over a mile wide
and half mile deep. On the front
held by the British the fighting did
not develop beyond small raids and
local engagements in Flanders.
Meanwhile many German papers are
expressing pronounced apprehension
on account Of the increasing French
and British pressure, while the Ger
man people are warned ito prepare
themselves for the gravest events Of
the war" Simultaneously several
French papers express the conhdeh'
belief that this summer should marx
the deliverance of Belgium. The Ger
man efforts south of Laon are trans
lated i'm some quarters here as a re-
action Of nervousness.
Attacks on French Sustained
The attacks on the French front
north of the Aisne have been so con-
tinuous and sustained as TO raise the
question whether Hindenburg IS mere
lv irving TO forestall a French ohen-
sive i'm the Champagne region or plans
q general counter drive to force Pc
tain's troops out of the controlling OBJ
servation positions which they occupy
ro.thoast Of So:ssoaa and above the
valley Of the Aillette River. The
French lines lie in the shape OF bent
Din around the south front OF the
stronghold of Laon, and while 1T is
not likely that Petain contemplates any
frontal advance upon the city as long
as he holds his present trenches the
Germans are kept in full view.
Though Hindenburg's efforts nave
been pressed with determination, they
have not thus far been notably sue
cessful. It is possible, however that
fbcv NAV be merely feeling out
operations preliminary to a larger
strategy. The field of attack has been
gradually spreading eastward and to
day the German bQmbardment is re-
ported as intense as far as Craonne

length OF German trenches, and in
doing so killed more than two hundred
Germans.
There are signs on many parts Of
the French front that the Germans
either are nervous concerning the
French intentions or are preparing an
offensive. A series of "feelers" has
been carried out by Field Marshal Hin
denburg at various points--principally
around the Laon plateau.
One Of tha chief of these was an
effort to cut a breach in the French line

The capture early in the week OF a

most persistent efforts on the part OF
the Germans 20 recover the lost ground.
On the front south of the Souchez
stream the enemy has been squally IN,

by both sides. This involves the fre-
oyent use of gas masks. The gas
