good brought to the committee at its
first hearing upon the bill. He told
the committee that the bill should be
passed as quickly as possible, in order
that vicious and disIoyal elements of

Attention was directed to the fact
that in spite OF the suspicion OF dis
loyalty that has rested upon the

several thousand men to France and

done more war work thar any other

BRITISH REGAIN LOST GROUND.

London, April lit is now a new 'hattle of Ypres, this
titanic struggle in Flanders.
Most, if not all, of Wytschaete, center of the famous ridge,
is once more in British hands. Haig's troops are striking
back everywhere with the heroic, fatalistic dash of men who,
:" their backs to the wall, - know they are standing on the last
line Of resistance.
Preparatory to this concerted counter offensive, a readiugt-
ment of the line had to be undertaken. The Ypres salient, long
a formidable menace to the enemy, but now a death trap to
the occupants, had to be given up. It was a painful step, for
it meant abandoning ground for which thousands of British
heroes bled during the six long months of last years British
Flanders drive. But the iron dictates of strategy, which knows
only the logic of the head, not the head demanded it.
Consequently, virtually all of Passchendaele ridge and much
ground to the northeast of Ypres was abandoned by the Brit
ish quietly and unobserved by the foe. So the British Ypres
line tonight ran from W~ytschaete, the storm center of the COM
bat to the south, northeastward through White Chateau, about
five miles due east of Ypres, to Pilken, four and a half miles
northeast of Yprcs. The British stand on high ground and the
upon these heights bristling with cannon, rifles and machine
guns.
Instead, Hindenburg is hurting his densefy massed divisions
against Ypres from four other directions, from the northeast,
above P1lken, from the southeast, along the Illebecke-H ole-
becke line, from the south, around Wytschaete, and from the
southwest, between Wuverghem and KENNEL mountain. Mean
while, far to the westward, ON both sides of BaiTeul, he is try
ing desperately to break through to the north and thus turn
the whole British Ypres position.
But there, too, he has sustained a bloody check, the British
not only stopping his onslaught, but advancing their own lines
half way to Baileul, west of that town.
The vital battle front in this new battle of Wipers,' ia
aside from the regions southeast, east and northeast of Ypres.
where the situation was more or less obscure late this evening
between Meteren and Wytschaete, a line of a little less than
nine miles, On this front the British are centering their
counter-thrusts- 1t is as If Haig had repeated Fochs immortal
order of the Marine.
my right has been driven in, my left has been driven IN
therefore, with all that I have left in my center, / will nov
attack"
That's what Haig is now doing. 1t is the last card Of hi
Ypres army. Upon what is left on his center position and its
resistance and his counter-blows depends the outcome Of tie
FLANDERS battle, unless in the eleventh hour reserves arrive
