kEMMEE HILL TAKEN
IN HARD STRUGGLE
IMPORTANT POINT CONSIDERED
KEY TO SOUTHERN SIDE OF
YPRES SALIEnT.
ATTACK TO PECAPTURE IT
Germans Have Made Important Gains
at Other Points Along the Battle
Line.

Kemmell hill, a height which has
been looked upon as the key to the
southern side Of the Ypres salient and
one OF the most important strategic
positions on the northern battle front
in France, has been taken by the Ger
mans, after a defense which will be-
come Of the heroic chapters Of the
war. The hill was surrounded and
the French forces entrenched on it's
slopes were overcome.
The loss OF the hill which is ad-
mitted in an official statement by Gen
eral Delma Radcliffe, chief director OF
military operations at the British war
office brings to the allies realiza-
tion that the whole Ypres position Is
in peril from the German drive north
ward from the lowlands lying to the
west of Armentieres.
The Teutons launched terrific at
tacks along the whole Wytschaete-
Bailleul-Meteren line, apparently for
the purpose OF finding a point which
might yield. They evidently found
that spot in the section of front held
Jointly by the British and French
troops; and against it they hurled
fresh divisions which fought their way
forward all day until at nightfall they
had surrounded Kemmell hill and iso-
lated the French troops holding the
position.
The loss OF KENNEL hill is serious
for 1t overlooks much of the lowlands
lying back of the allied lines in the
Ypres salient. The hill Is AGA feet
in height, rising from lowlands on
the south and east. 1t six miles
southwest OF Ypres and three miles
west OF Wytschaete. This German
success cuts deer, notch in the allied
line to the southwest of Ypres and
| completely outfianks the British on
the northern slopes of Messines ridge.
to which they were forced two weeks
ago. The line to the southwest. to-
ward Bailleul, apparently is in no par
ticular danger at present, although
the village of Dranoutre has been lost
to the enemy.
