Allies Ready for Blow.

With the British Armies in Flan-
ders. May 6.-The allies are alertly
awaiting Hindenburg's next mighty
blow.
The first and second drives failed
Just as the first dash toward Paris and
the sea IN 1914. The third Is already
delayed by the sound thrashing admin
istered by the Franco British forces
necessitatlng far more complete re-
organization Of Hindenburg's hosts
than was at first supposed.
The situation today is better than
seemed possible during the early
stages Of the offensive. The allies
have stopped every attempt of Won HUI
tier TO edge toward Amlens. On the
Lys both Won Armin and Won Quasi
have butted their heads against a
wall.
That the enemy has made gains on
both battle fronts Is not disputed. but
the outstanding feature Is that neither
on the Sompe nor the Lys has he been
able to exploit his successes.
Badly mauled, Hindenburg's armies
already have been forced 10 rest sew
eral weeks when time Is the most pre-
cious element.
Realizing the colossal stakes. the
German high command today Is per-
fecting It's next stroke. which may de-
eide the German chances. The blow
may come at any time.

early In the morning on the Flanders
front from Locre TO the south of Ypres.
There IL great activity, also, in the sec

Meteren, the war Office announces.
The British slightly improved their

fore Hazebrouck is a seven-mile front
from the Nieppe forest northward to

more than four miles west Of the line

quln. The latter town Is about mid

Battle Ground Is Low.

Most of the terrain between the
present line and Hazebrouck is ex-
tremely low, especially along the
Plate -Becque river The only heights
of any Importance are Kate hill and
Mont de Merris, both just south of
Meteren.
The other bombardment area ex-
tends from Locre eastward to a point
south Of Ypres, a front Of about six
miles. Here the Germans, I'm previ-
Gus assaults. have swept northward be-
yond the hills, with the exception Of
Scherpenberg. which lies just north
of Locre This point. strongly de-
Tended by the French. has barred enc
my progress IN this direction several
times.
The British hold the strong strate-
gic points of voormezeele and Dicke-
bush. Ypres is more than two miles
north of the farthest German advance
here.
Between the two bombarded sectors
Is a stretch of four miles, back Of
which are the strongly defended
heights Of Mopts Rouge. Noir and De
Cats. Hlndenburg has thus selected
the comparatively easier offensive
areas-in case his infantry follows up
the artillery preparation.
In several instances Of late. how
ever, the Germans have bombarded
two or more areas merely TO screen an
attack on only one of them.
