10y MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wiRsl
That extreme nervousness over ap-
preaching events pervades the Ger
man front in Flanders Is indicated by
the infantry attacks the forces of
Grown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria
daily are throwing against Field Mar
shal Haig's army on the Ypres salient.
These attacks are being centered
upon the apex of Haig's salient in the
line which is pointing dangerously to-
ward the Ostend-Lille railroad, the
ultimate gaining of which the Eng
lsh, Scottish and Australian contin-
gents would work sad havoc to the
replenshing with supplies of the Ger
man line to the south from the naval
bases of Ostend and Zeebrugge.
Come in Storming Waves.
In storming waves Of great strength
the Germans have made valiant ef-
forts to wrest from the British posi-
tions captured from them in the re-
cent offensive, but everywhere except
at two small points they met with de-
cisive repulse under the hurricane Of
fire, which swept against them from
guns of all calibers, strewing the
ground with their dead or wounded.
Numerous prisoners also have been
taken by the British and to q man
they have evinced qualification that
they are safe from the inferno Of
bursting shells which the British
without cessation are pouring in upon
the German holdings.
Germans Outclassed.
The big guns of the Germans have
not been idle during the fighting, but
their strength is in no wise compar-
able to that of the great array of can
non that Haig has set up for the pur-
pose of pounding the German en-
trenchments, for warding off attacks
and for screening his infantrymen as
they surge forward on new exploits.
The French and Germans are en-
gagged in violent artillery duels along
the Aisne front and the Verdun sector.
in both Of which regions General Pc
tain's armies also again have been
forced to withstand, and successfully,
vicious attacks from troops Of the
German crown prince, especially near
Craonne and Beaumont and between
Hill 344 and Samogneux Near Hill
344 the Germans entered French
position which later was reca ptured in
a counter attack.
Russians Make Gain.
On the northern front in Russia, IN
the region south Of Riga, the Russians
are keeping up their offensive against
the Germans and have beate back the
enemy for a distance of one mile
south of the Kronenberg-Spita
Grounduls sector. Quiet still prevails
on the eastern front farther south and
in Galcia and Rumania.
In Mesopotamia the British victory
over the Turks at Ramadie, west OF
Bagdad, was greater than at first re-
ported In addition to capturing the
town, nearly 1000 Turks were made
prisoner and large numbers OF guns
and quantities of war store were cap
tured. Moreover, heavy casualties
were inflicted on the Ottomans.
Air Raids Continue.
British and French airmen are con-
tinuing their raids against German
positions behind the Inns and the
French aviators are carrying on FUR
ther reprisals against German cities
and towns for the bombardment OF
open French settlements. Large guam
titles of explosives have been dropped
by French airmen on Stuttgart, Cob
lenz, Frankfort-o t-on-Main and Treves,
while in conjunction with British avia-
tors, railway stations, airdromes, mu-
nition depots and military encamp-
ments have been effectively bombed.
