LONDON IS ANXIOUS
ABOUT. THAT ALLIED
RESERVE OF FOCH'S
Dispatch to Ottawa Worries
Over Time of French Gener-
ais Decisive Stroke Which
Would Relieve Hun Pressure

OTTAWA, Ont, April 1S.-Anxiety
as to when General Foch will make use
of the allied reserve, which it says
exists but has not been called upon, IS
expressed in a dispatch from London
to Reuters agency here today
There is still anxiety as to when
General Foch will make the decisive
stroke, now that the British have
stood four weeks of hammering by The
immense German reserves. estimated at
100000 men, in a fashion which led the
French writer's to describe the British
armies as the wing of sacrifice, says
the dispatch.
Experts do not indorse the opinion
advanced in some quarters that the ad-
vance critical in the northern theater.
has been definitely checked. 1t is
agreed that the Germans have not OBJ
tanned the decisive result aimed at,
thanks to the extreme stubbornness of
the British resistance.
1.-The battle in fact appears to have
been following the course Of the great
series Of German thrusts of October,
1914, which ended in Ypres and failure
for the enemy. There was then no al
lied reserve. That reserve now exists
and has not yet been used. There will
probably be continuous fluctuations in
the northern area for some time to
come, but the salient fact Of the fight
ing is the staying power of the British
soldiers"

British Regain Ground
Around KENNEL Hill

LONDON, April 1S.-Southeast of
KENNEL Hill, on the northern battle
front, the Grman forces pressed back
the British line slightly but the sit
uation was restored by a counter at
tack, the war office announces. During
the night there was no change in the
British front
In the BailleuI sector the Germans
made three attacks before noon yester-
day and in each case suffered a COM
plete repulse.
The Germans opened heavy lombard
ment of the British positions on the
southwestern part of the Lys battle
front between LOGON and Robecq, dur
ing the night. The bonn bardment was
still in progress at dawn today.
The statement reads:
There has been no change on the
British front during the night
The hostile artillery has shown great
activity on the southern portion of the
Lys battle front from Givenchy to east
of Robecq. A heavy bombardment Of
our positions between LOGON and Ro-
becq was still continuing at dawn.
Local attacks were repulsed by our
troops yesterday evening in the Merris
sector.
More detailed accounts of the fight
ing of yesterday in the forest Of
Nieppe- Wytschaete front establish the
severity of the enemy-s losses. South
east of KENNEL Hill the German in
fantry attacked in three waves and at
one point pressed back our line slight
ly. In this locality the situation was
restored by counter attack and short
ly after midday the attack had been
repulsed at all points. in the BailleuI
sector the enemy attacked three times
before midday and in each case suf-
fered complete repulse.
Our line of yesterday evening waS
intact on the whole front"
