Field Marshal Haig's latest effort
is being pushed in the same region as
the attack of Tuesday in which the
British. in cooperation with the French,
drove back the Germans along a front
Of seven miles and captured more than
1000 prisoners.
IL is probable that the present effort
is an attempt To clear the Germans from
the remaining portions Of the dominant
ridge east of Ypres. Tuesdays attack
gave the British more ground on the
ridge and left the Germans with only
small section in the region Of Pass.

The British now hold most of the good
positions on the ridge, from which they
dominate with their artillery the i'm.

Apparently the present drive is being
made under weather conditions similar

Marshal Haig threw his men forward
and surprised the Germans who did
not think that the British would at.
tempt 10 attack while the battlefield
