TEN TOWNS AND $500 PRlS-
ONERS TAKEN-BATTLE OF
FLANDERS BIGGEST OF WAR

With a wide stretch of territory and
more than $500 prisoners in their
hands as the result of the first days
fighting in their new offensive, the
British and French troops in Flanders
spent Wednesday night consolidating
their gains and repulsing German
counter attacks.
The new line, which along the
greater part of its stretch, is from
two miles to two and One-half miles in
advance of the old and includes ten
captured towns within its limits, has
been firmly held along the entire
front, The consolidation process is
being carried out under a tOrrential
rain, which is hampering further op-
eratiOns.
Definite objectives were assigned
the various allied units for a attain
ment in the first days strike and ac-
cOmplished almost in their entirety
Drive to Be Renewed
The logical suppOsition is that the
drive will be renewed as soor as the
heavy guns are moved up in pursuit
of the plan Of driving a wedge irto the
German lines by successive strokes
until a point is reached when the fall
ing back of the enemy on wide front
will be forced
The importance to be attached 10 a
drive into German-held territory in
this sector must be guaged, not Only
by the reclaiming Of Belgian soil from
the invaders which it makes possible,
but the threat it offers to the Ger
man submarine bases along the Bel
gian coast. A push much further east
ward along the present line of advance
will be bound to shake the security OF
the German coast line.

Some Villages Have Not Paid German

not yet finished paying obligations in
