LONDON, June THE British
have opened an attack on a nine-mile

The official statement follows:
I'VE attacked at $40 q. m. this
morning German positions on the
Messines Wytschacte ridge, on
front of over nine miles. We have
everywhere captured our first objec.
tives and further progress Is reported
to be satisfactory along the whole
front of attack. Numbers OF prisoners

The new British offensive Is against
q sharp German salient three miles
south Of Ypres. For several days the
British have maintained a tremend-
Gus bombardment for almost thirty

The salient itself Is about three
miles in width and the same in depth.

would seriously menace the German
hold on Lille, which is about five miles
