The British troops in Flanders and
the French forces further south APP
parently have anticipated the pro-
posed German drive toward the Eng
lish channel ports or par.s. and struck
first.
Although slight details of the ma
neuvers thus far have been revealed,
the allied troops caught the enemy
unawares at important points and
took terrain which would have been
of considerable value as the starting
points OF enemy attacks, A compar-
atiyely large number of prisoners and
machine guns were lef' by the GER
mans,
The attack of the British was de-
hvered about midway between Haze
broucke and Bethune on front of
nearly three and a half miles over ter
ritory which the Germans recently
recently have been deluging with
shells.
Altogether the attack was produce
tive of an average gain of ground to
a depth of nearly mile, and includ-
ing the taking of several small ham,
lets. 1t is probable the Germans In
a proposed offensive in this region
had set their hearts on the capture
of st. Omer and the railway line run
ming thence to Calais and Dunkirk.
Great Stroke by French.
The stroke of the French troops was
over IA still greater front-four and a
half mtes-and they penetrated enc
my positions at some points mile
and quarter. The evident intention
was further to block the gateway to
Paris through the Villers-Cottcrets re-
glon.
From Ambleny to the east OF Mont
COLBERT, the French carried out their
offensive and overwhelmed strongly
fortified positions of the enemy along
the entire front Besides the beating
back Of the enemy, more than l,0bo
Germans fell into the hands Of the
attacking forces.
Although the points OF attack were
separated by about 100 miles, the ma
neuvers seemingly had been well con-
sdered by General Foch, tho allied
communicating chief as they were
carried out synchronously.
