Alexandrovsk, the naval station on

fell to pieces at the revolution, and
Finland became a German vassal state,
it was to be expected that an attempt
would be made to seize the Thurman
coast. Hopes were held out to Fin
land Of acquiring an ice-free exit to
the Arctic ocean.
The difficulties in the way of an ex-
pedition to the Thurman region are
great. The country is practically I'M.
inhabited, so that military force
must take its own supplies. There
are no roads, and the country to be
traversed is largely mountainous, In.
terspersed with tracts of forest and
marsh, presenting many obstacles to
military operations, apart from the
arctic climate. On the coast, 1t may
be mentioned, the climate is decidedly
milder than in the interior.

Americans, British and French marines

to a war geography bulletin Of the M.

In peace times the chief occupation
Of the people of Kola is fishing, which
is probably followed by the natives
from May to August. Kola is well

Amsterdam, April 16.-The entire

HUNS AGAIN RESORT
TO MASSED ATTACKS
Carry Some Points Against
British by Pushing Fresh
Troops Against Wither-
ing Fire of English
BY Associated Press

Tremendous pressure eXerted
by picked fresh troops in the
desperate German effort to drive
the British from Messines ridge
has compelled slight retirement
of the British line on the north
ern side of the Lys battlefield.
The town of Bailleul has been
evacuated and the British front
withdrawn to a line running
from north of that town to the
north of Wulverghem and
thence to Wytschaete.
Wytschaete occupied the highest
point of the easterly ridge system
and the British have been firmly es-
tablished here since the early days
of the enemy offensive. The Ger
mans, through their push in to the
southwest now are apparently in a
more advantageous position to at
tack it and their expected drive upon
it was reported developing this
morning. AS it forms the pivot of
the British line which bends here
to the north, an extremely deter
mined defense of it is looked for from
Field Marshal Haig's troops.
Retain High Ground
Although the loss of Bailleul and
some of the comparatively high
ground around it such as Mount De
Lille and Revetsberg, represents a
decided setback for the defense, the
British line as it has been with
drawn still is on ground much higher
tina nthe Germans occupy. The
British artillery thus possesses numer-
Gus vantage points from which it
can continue to pour in a devastat-
ing fire upon the attacking columns.
Chief among these high spots is
Mount KENNEL, which towers up
more than four hundred feet from
the low ground about Wulverghem,
two miles to the southeast Appar-
entity Haig's forces still have a firm
hold on all this valuable hill region.
Heavy Attacks Repulsed
What may be called the frontal
attacks of the Germans upon the
ridge system back of Messines. WIT
schaete and Hollebeke furnish the
spectacular feature of the operations
as reflected in to-day's news. One
brief paragraph in Field Marshal
Haigs report. however, has an i'm
portance attached to it that should
not be overlooked. It records the
repulse of heavy German attacks
southwest of Vieux Berquin.
The German line here runs along
the easterly border of Nieppe wood
and it is by a push to the northwest
in this region that the enemy hopes
to reach Hazebrouck, some five miles
distant, and take this highly i'm
portant railway town. Well nigh
vital communication to the Messines
and Ypres regions would thus he
cut. The British line is strongly
held in this region however and the
thanking movement indicates no sign
of making progress as the roport of
the Vieux Berquin engagements
shows.
Hun Navy at Sea
The German effort at nresep+
seems centered upon the northern
side of the Lys battlefield. no i'm
