NEW THRUST BY
  EXPECTED SOON
Allied Armies Prepare to Re sist Extensive Drive by Germans; English Deny Reports of Losses.

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE. May 11.-CBy the Assoei- ated Press) Another day has run half it's coures without any infantry action of great importance having Oc- cured along the far eastern battle front. Certain posts at various points. desirahly located, continued to be the objects O. pickering between the Op- posing forces, and the artillery was busy pouring out it's freight of de structiOh. But von Hindenburg. to whom the Eext move has thus far been conceded, was still holding his hand.
 Last evening French pOilus stormed and occupied pile of brick. once the hamlet e. BOulOoZe. just south of Scherpenberg Hill. and they also smashad the Germans out of BOulOOze cabaret near by. But an enemy counter attack during the night seems to have forced the French to retire to their previous line. Boulooze is on compar- atively high ground which has been hotly contested in recent days.
 Expect Drive Soon
 The French this morning initiated a local operation on little stream known as Vverbeek. which empties into the southern end Of Dickenbusch Lake, hut. according to the latest re- ports. no decision had been reached in this engagement It seems passing strange that the enemy has not made any big drive before this. and it will be stranger still if many days pass without renewal of the offensive. There is no doubt that the Germans are anxious to begin operations as soon as possible and the delay-lf such it may be termed-indicates the probability of an extensive push De- ing in preparation.
 The completion of the enemy plans undoubtedly has been hampered very greatly ky the excellent eounteT-work Of the allies, particularly in the avia- ton and artillery branches. but even this could hardly hold back an attack indefinitely. There are many signs that point to another violent attack. such as ushered in the offensive of March 21 and a large part of the bat tie front would be involved if what seems tO be the present plans of the Germans were put into execution.
 Deny Teuton Claims
 The Germans have recently made some most extravagant claims in their dispatches regarding the British cas- ualties, il being asserted that "enor- nous losses" had been suffered by the various British units on the Lys and Somme battle fields.
 It now is possible to give the losses of a lev of the units referred to. Here are some typical instances of al legations made by the enemy. The German statement asserted that the Fifty-sixth division was almost com pletely wiped out" This division lost 43 officers and .425 other ranks
 The Fifth Berkshire regiment. was. according to the Germans. ~annihi- lated" The Berkshire's casualties were 15 officers and 300 other ranks.
 Berlin asserted that the Twenty third Royal Fusileers regiment was among the regiments which have sui fered most heavily" This unit lost five officers and 25O other ranks.
 The Fourth Yorkshires. Berlin as serted. were captured almost com plete." The Yorkshires had 191 men

ACTIVITIES
 OF PLIERS

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE, May 11-(By the Associ- ated Press) s).-There has been much air fighting 6uring the last few days, and the British airmen have fully sus- tained the great reputation they estab- lished early in the war.
 Several days ago. near Ypres, one British machine attacked five Ger mans single handed. The Britisher engaged one enemy and fought him until he fled. The English pilot then went after another German and pres sed the attack so hard that the enemy was forced into nose spin in an at tempt to escape. The ruse was fu- tile however, for the Britisher followed him down, firing steadily into the helpless eGrman machine until the lat teI .inei.y tGi1io,. on it's Dack ana fell.
 Attacked by Six Huns
 Another British plane was attacked by six enemy machines which came at it from below and behind The British observer opened fire at close range, riddling the leading German nd chine which dived and then burst into flames.
 The British bombardment squadron has been doing wonderful work. Ions Of high explosives have been dropped among masses of the enemy at nigb-, causing heavy casualties. The Brit ish machines also have been employed constantly in attacking the infantry from low attitudes and in many cases veritable slaughter has resulted.
 In addition to destroying eight of the 20 German airplanss which as re- lated yesterday. were engaged so sue cessfully on Tuesday by two British machines, the British aviators sent down five others damaged The bat tie began when the British aviators attacked seven German planes, two other enemy formations came up, rais- ing the total of German machines to 20, but instead of retiring, the two British fighters pressed the attack.
 Withdraw Safely
 In and out among the large enemy force, these two planes with their gal lant ere xs swirled and charged, work ing their rapid firers like mad. One of the Britishers got on the tail of bis German machine and riddled it with bullets. The enemy airplane hung quivering in the air for a moment, and then. Su.ning it's nose toward the earth, crashed down with sheets of flame bursting from it. The seven other German machiDes were shot to pieces in rapid succession and took the final plunge. three of them leaving 8 wake of fire and black smoke to tell the story of their terrible fate suf- fered by the men strapped in their seats. The other enemy machines were forced to abandon the fight be- cause of their crippled condition, were seen to dive away in the hope of reach ing the ground safely.
 Thirty minutes had sufficed for the two British machines to accomplish all this. Only seven of the 20 enemy planes remained in the air. The Brit ish had used up albthair ammunition in the furious melee, however, and there was nothing to do but with draw, which they did in safety
