TRENCH RAIDS
ARE RESUMED
BY BRITISH
Great Attack Over Front
of Seventy Miles Is
Expected
GERMAN REACTION
SURPRISINGLY WEAK
Indications of New Often
sive on Macedonian
Front
GBy Associated Press,

The wiping out Of the German
salient at Messines apparently is
merely the prelude to a far mightier
battle.
After a German reaction of a sur
prisingly feeble character the British
have resumed trench raids from north
of Ypres to as far south as Epehy, 10
miles as the crow flies, but far more
than that along the windings OF the
battle front.
The official announcement OF raids
north Of Ypres Is especially interesting
in view, Of the recent frequently re-
ported heavy artillery fire on the
Germans made a voluntary retirement
from in front of the Belgian lines.
From Ypres the allied front curves
sharply to the sea and advance here
would threaten the German hold on
their great submarine bases on the
Belgian coast, Ostend and Zeebrugge.
In the meantime there are indica-
tions that Gen. Sarail is preparing TO
resume the offensive in Macedonia.
The Bulgarian announcement reported
a great increase in the allied artillery
fire on this front. Considerable fight
ing has been on for a month there
but the meagerness of the report and
the SURPRISING interest Of events in
France have combined to obscure the
situation.
Another gIeam Of light has pierced
the dark cloud hanging over Russia.
The Cossacks have again voiced their
determination to support the provi-
sional government and there are indi-
cations they will receive backing from
the peasants. This cheering news
comes on the heels of the publication
of President Wilson's message to Rus
sia which is hailed by the British press
as not only q great state document.
but a powerful reinforcement to the
men who are striving for law and or
der in the infant republic.
