Success For French
With apparent ease, the French
men crossed the flooded Broen-
beck and Jansbeek rivers and
captured the villages of ST. Jean
de Mangelare and Veldehoek, to-
gether. with numerous block
houses and took prisoner several
hundred Germans. The advance
Of the French was over a front
Of more than a mile and half
and they penetrated the German
line to a depth of one and quar-
ter miles.
Haig's principal offensives cen
tered on the portions OF the Pass
chendale-Gheluvelt ridge still held
by the Germans, being directed
eastward from Poelcapelle. which
was captured, and northeastward
from Broodseinde, toward Pass
Glendale. the ultimate objective
still being the Ostend-Lille road.
Taken as whole, the joint opera
tion makes more apparent the
crowning desire o: the Allies in
this reglon-the forcing back of
the Germans to points where their
evacuation of Ostend and Zee
brugge, naval and submarine
bases on the North sea, will be-
come necessary.
Met Resistance
At several points Ha,g's ad-
vance was sharply contested BY
the Germans-particularly north
OF Broodseinde. the nearest ap-
proach to the railroad line and
near the Polderhoek chateau.
Nowhere. however, were the Ger
mans able to. stay the advance,
except near the Polde7hoek cha
teau. where the terrific fire OF
their machine guns momentar-
lily forced the British to give
ground Later, the attacking
troops realigned themselves and
= the successful push went on
again.
