War Review

Rindenberg's frenzied efforts to
splits the British lines In Flanders
and roll the northern flank back on
the North Sea which would open the
way to the channel ports has spread
into Belgium today along a twenty
mile front. Haig reported the fight
ing which broke out early yester-
day morning continuing while the
British positions as far north as the
Ypres-Comines canal were under
terrific bombardment. The Belgian
frontier crosses the battlefront at
a sharp bend in the Lys, about a
mile north of Ar7nentierres. Be
tween tAe LaBassee canal and ARM
entierres, Haig said, the Hritish
are holding the enemy back. The
Lave river flowing northward con-
verges with the Lys less than "a
mile west of Estaires. The Lys
flows eastward through ATmen-
tierres, British troops are des-
perately contesting the crossing at
the Estaires and a point three miles
northeast.
Fight has already broken out near
Armentterres, indicating the Ger
mans are losing no time in follow
ing up their cannonading with in
fantry assaults. Thus the actual
fighting has been carried northward
into Belgium, probably as far north
as Bloegateeht.
The British not only are holding
on the southern flank of this front
but have captured Givenchy, taking
$50 pris oners.
