With less than weeks wait after
delivering the recent smashing blow at
the Germans in Flanders, the British
have resumed their drive, launching an
attack on wide front northeast and
east Of Ypres early this morning.
The trend of the battle was only
briefly indicated In the early state
ment, Field Marshal Raig reporting
that his troops were making good
progress.
Apparently the effort is aimed at
driving in deeper the wedge already
forced into the German front astride
the Ypres-Menin road and northward
beyond the Ypres-Roulers railway
lines.
Hold Gained Ground.
Last Thursdays thrust pushed this
wedge approximately a mile further
into the enemy's territory where the
ground gained was well consolidated
and held firmly against numerous des-
perate counter attacks.
The point Of the wedge has now al
most reached a line extending north

turing city Of Lille, the development
of which Is assumed 20 be one of the
great objectives of the Flanders at

low Lille carried out in the battle of
Arras earlier this year.
Endanger German Flank.
The enlargement of the Ypres sal
lent is likewise having the effect of
endangering the German line to the
north extending to the Belgium coast.
Seemingly now it is the purpose of
the British to concentrate their Of
fensive moves here and by repeating
the tactics pursued last year on the
Somme front COMPEL German retire
ment on wide front both to the north
and south.
The new British blow was struck
today just as the Germans were stag
gering from the effects of sanguinary
repulse they sustained yesterday in
heavy attacks which they delivered on
the ridge east of Yypres. The Ger
mans had made their way into the
British lines at two points on narrow
front in one of these attacks but were
forced out in the latter by British coun-
ter efforts.

simultaneously the British are con-
tinuing their aerial and naval attacks
on the Belgium coast. Another bonn
bardment at Ostend, one of the Ger
man naval bases, was carried out yes
terday by British war ships. The Ger
mans apparently attempted an aerial
attack on the fleet for the British ad-
miralty reports that air patrols over
the war ships encountered six hostile
