 Their Troops Bombed By Flying Corps.

With the British Army in France, April 16-(By the Associated Press) -Bail1eul, 81s miles east of Haze brouck, in Flanders, was captured and occupied by the Germans last La Revtesberg ridge, east of the town. AS a result the British pulled their lines back northward somewhat to positions running east and west a little above Bailluel and Le Revets- berg.
 Fighting is continuing in this sec- tor with the Germans trying to push westward toward the railroad center of Hazebrouck.
 Last nights attack was preceded by a very heavy bombardment after which the enemy flung into the line the Alpine corps, the 117th German division and the 11th Bavarian divis- ion and bore down on the defending positions along the front from Mount de Lille, high ground just southeast of BaiHeul, to Crrlcifix corner, an eleva- ton on the Bailleul-Neuve Eglise highway about 2,000 yards west of the latter place.
 The defenders were unable to with stand the shock from overwhelming numbers of fresh troops. Slowly the British line fell back, but unbroken and in good order.
 About the time that the Germans surged forward against Bailleul they also attempted to advance by tWC attacks southwest of Bailleul, just op- posite the northeast corner of the forest of Nieppe. One attack wa! driven back by artillery fire before the opposing infantry came to close quarters, but the others materialized
 The Germans continued to poul northwestward along the roads lead ing to Estairs and again the British flying corps did great work. The in. trepid flyers kept up an unceasinl machine gun and bombing warfare against the enemy transport an( troops.
