GERMANS ARE
UNABLE BEAT.
BACK BRITISH
Teutons Are Being Forced
Back at a Comparatively
Rapid Rate.
BRITISH KEEP UP
STEADY ADVANCE
Guns and Prisoners Taken
in Great Attack Near
Messines Canal.
Associated Press Summary.

The British CAMPAIGN in Belgium
gives signs OF developing into one OF
the most important of the war. The
Germans apparently are unable to re-
slst the pressure being Consistently ap-
piled to them and are beng forced
back at a comparatively rapid rate.
Today brings the announcement of
another considerable advance by the
British in this area. They attacked
last night in the region south and
east of Messines and on both sides of
the Hpres-Cmoines canal, gaining all
their detectives and capturing one
big gun and seven machine guns to-
gether with $50 prisoners, The front
line in the British offensive move
merit extends for a distance of about
seven miles from the village of Klein
Zillebcke. south to the river Warnave.
Last nights attack, the elimination
of constant pressure yielded General
Plumer's troops the German front
trenches between the Wanave and
the Lys, besides additional ground
more to the north, in the sector be-
tween Ypres and Confines, the off
cial statement indicates.
Signs of a probable further re-
treat of the Germans are not want
ing. Correspondents have reported
the withdrawal of the German big
guns in the area east and southeast
of Messines to the extreme limit Of
their range.
The British artillery command OF
the situation seems to be almost
wholly responsible for this and the
other WELDING toudenrias of +be Gov
mans. The German big guns secured
their advantage when Messines ridge,
the only commanding eminence in the
region, was stnrmed at the opening
of the offensive.
General Haig's dispatches have in
dicated that important developments
might be expected to grow out of the
offensive in Belgium and his predic-
ton appears to be in the way of
being made good.
