Petain's Men Gain
On z 1-2-Mile Line
Mount KENNEL Drive
Fails; Allies Get 700
Prisoners; Berlin
Claims $500

The Allies scored yesterday in the
great struggle on the West front.
The Germans shifted their main at
tack from the northern flank of
the Flanders salient to the south
ern flank, defending Bethune.
Here they made tremendous as.
sau1t but the British beat them
back with terrible loss.
AT Mount KENNEL southwest of
lpres, Haig's troops stood firm
under heavy attack.
The French beat in the tin of thu
Amlens salient, advancing on
two and a half mile front both
sides of the Avre River.
The Germans threw ten divisions nm
an eleven mile front from the Lys
River, near st. Venant, to the
vicinity of Givenchy. 1t was n
desperate effort to cut La Bassee
Canal, take the railroad centre of
Bethune, capture Frances only
remaining coal field and perhaps
turn Vimy Ridge.
Following night Of copious artil-
lery bombardment, wave upon wave
of Germans advanced against the
British trenches and a furious
hand-to-hand conflict ensued. The
enemy failed at every point.
Around Givenchy the struggle still
continued at last report.
The Berlin night communique did
not even mention this most i'm
portant feature of the days fight
ing.
Everywhere on the Lys battlefield
the Teuton masses were repulscd
with sanguinary losses. The bat
tie line remained unchanged from
Che previous day.
The French opened yesterdays oper-
ations with an intense lombard
ment on fifty-fve mile front
against the southern side OF the
Amiens salient. This may presage
grand Allied counter stroke. So
far it has been followed by the
French attack astride the Avre
where the Germans were only
about eleven miles from Amiens.
The French everywhere progressed,
clearing most of Senecat Wood.
reaching the outskirts Of Castel
and taking German positions be-
tween Castel and Moreuil.
1t was local operation, probably in
tended to strengthen the Allied
hold on the high ground about
Hangard, to the east, but there
are indications of more important
developments to come in this
region.
Berlin claims $500 more prisoners
as the result of several days. oper-
ations. and admits the sharp check
administered by the Belgians on
Wednesday.
The French on the Avre front took
500 prisoners and the British on
the Lys-Givenchy front 200.

must do So before next Saturday, when
the conversion privilege by law expires.
This ran be done without cost at any

never had anything like it before.
1t is an organization for performing
engineer duty with corps and army
troops which cannot be performed by
the engineers themselves who are
working forward in the zone of ad-
vance with the firing line. The reg
ular engineers have certain duties,
the railroad engineers have another,
and then there is a gap for army
troops back of the line constructing
spurs for the heavy long-range guns,
emplacements, etc. Pioneer regiments
