No reason for the Withholding of the
dispatches Of newspaper correspondents
on the British front in France Is
known. The only occasion previously
of interrupting the news of the CORE
spondents was in October, 1915, when
il was announced from London that
thousands of words of news from As
sociated Press correspondent in Sofia
and from the German line on the West
ern battlefront were being withheld by
the British censor.
Two DAYS later announcement was re-
ceived Of the entry of Bulgaria into
the war on the side of the Teutonlc
allies, and a day still later came the
news that Field Marshal Sir Jonn
French. who had remained silent Tor
five days, had made considerable gains
In the Loos sector. driving Wedge
into the German lines from 5OO TO
1000 yards in depth.
LONDON, Sept. 2S.-The Germans
delivered a powerful counter attack
against the new British lines at Zonne-
beke to-day, ard, following ITS COM
pletc repulse, ended their fighting oper-
atoms for the day, not once Venturihg
from their trenches again.
In the evening the British guns set
M a drumfre against the enemy's lines
and. under cover Of a heavy barrage,
English detachments swung forward IN
three strong attacks northeast OF IRE
zenberg and on the Menin road. Ber-
lin reports that, after sharp hand-to-
hand fighting, the attackers were
driven of without gains.
The sole admission of British success
made by the German statement is 20 the
effect that on the Ypres-Passchend aele
road. which runs through Zonnebeke
and mounts the ridge on its western
side, the enemy still occupies some
crater positions on our front line
On the remainder OF the Flanders
front the British were allowed 10 con-
solidate their important gains OF the
last two days without hindrance. The
intensity Of the bombardment. even in
the customary lull after battle. gives
indication that if the weather contIn-
ues favorable Haig will strike again at
the enemys lines within a few days.
The completion of the occupation OF
the Zonnebeke Ridge is now all that
remains for the British TO place them IN
excellent position for the spring drive
TO throw the invader back across the
Belgian border and deprive him OF his
submarine bases on the North Sea
coast.
On the French front the troops OF
the Crown Prince were exceedingly
active all day. A series of strong at
tacks was carried out on the Aisne -at
Pantheon. La Royere, Allies and Cour-
cy-while in the Argonne three success
sive assaults were delivered against
Petain's positions northwest of Tahuree
and west Of Navarin. Paris declares all
these efforts were repulsed with heavy
losses to the enemy.
