lines between Arras and Ypres.
Charging across the level country be-
hind tempest of high explosive and
gas shells, the Germans, on April IL,
succeeded in penetrating British de-
lenses at points over a front Of nearly
30 miles to depth of almost six miles
just to the south of Ypres.
The loss of Armentieres is admitted
by the British, but this was expected
from the trend Of events in that sector

had driven in on both sides OF the
town and holding out longer by the
British would have imperiled the whole
line.
so far as known, withdrawal OF
British forces from Armentieres was
orderly and was only for the purpose
of Strengthening the line in the region
where the German pressure is heav-

The drive south of Ypres has devel'

appear, and the Germans, using their
massed attack system, are not count

DOUBLE BULKHEADS FOR SHIPS
Plan Approved as Most Practical te
Make Them Non-Sinkable.

Washington-All American mer

double the number of bulkheads now

The shipping board has approved
the plan as the most practical of all
the 'non.sinkable" schemes, and
James c. Stewart, of New York, was
asked to undertake supervision of the
work.
Eight instead of four walls hereafter
will divide American ships into com
partments, decreasing by so per cent
the space likely to be flooded after an
external explosion, and increasing il
the same proportion chances of the
vessel reaching port.
The bulkheads will be made of four.
inch planks, with tongue and groove
and tarred, to make them watertight
They will be kept rigid by one-inch
steel beams.
Concrete bulkheads originally were
suggested, but the wood and steel con
struction was adopted as being lighter
and taking less room.
II is estimated that in 400 ships
there will be loss of only 5000 tons
cargo space due to the new walls.

The end Of the first phase OF this
giant struggle now may be considered
as passed. There must be no retire

TIL order issued by the field marshal
