ton probably unparalleled in the war
to hold her lines in Flanders against
the combined Anglo. French attack. Not

the atrocious weather has imposed on
them, however, the entente forces have
made good their most important gains

the entente thrusts that have come from
the Berlin var office, were based as
usual on the unwarranted assumption

through and upon the fac, at one or two
points the German reaction resulted in
some Of the far advanced forces of the
allies being pushed back
Today, however, comes the announce,
ment from London that despite the
rainfall, the British have negatived tho
results OF one OF the German counter
thrusts, completely re establishing their
