FRENCH REINFORCE BRITISH
AND PREPARE TO ATTACK

DATELESS.-Press the attack
against the British southwest of Ar
mentieres, the Germans have extended
their efforts to other fronts, and have
clashed with the French and Ameri-
cans.
In the north the Germans are ad-
vancing toward Bailloul On the
Picardy front they captured Hangard,
but later were driven out
Repulsed in their efforts to gain
the Messines-Wytschaet ridge, the
Germans are endeavoring to widen
the salient south of Armentieres in
an effort to outflank the hill posi-.
tions
Preparing to Strike Back
DATELESS.-The British armies
are at bay in France and Flanders
The end of the first phase of the gil
gantic struggle is considered to have
been passed. The announcement by
General Haig that the French army
is moving to his support is the first
indication that the allies are ready to
strike back.
The blow may not fall in Flanders
or Picardy, but may be aimed at some
part of the line where General Foch
believes he can cut through the Ger
man front and compel them to relax
pressure on the British.
lntimation of German Losses
WITH THE FRENCH ARMY, April
13.-Two strong attacks in the vicin-
ity of Noyon were repulsed easily,
but have given rise to the question
as to whether or not the Germans are
about to make another drive on the
southern flank.
A hundred Germans divisions have
been thrown into the fight and seven
ty of these have been withdrawn. An
indication of the losses sustained b
the Germans can be gained when it IS
remembered that a German division
is not withdrawn until it has lost a
minimum of $500 of its strength. Ger
man divisions on this front number
1880 men.
