Big Battle Rages With an
Incredible Intensity With
an Appalling Slaughter
BY associated Press

London. April 1.-THE battle in
Flanders is raging to-day with in
credible intensity, telegraphs the cor
respondent of Reuters Limited at
the British army headquarters in
France. AS far as the latest reports
enable the correspondent to judge,
the battle is going in favor of the
British.
Notwithstanding the desperate at
tacks of the Germans they have
gained no further ground since Tues
day morning and apparently they
have'1ost some.
During his three years experience
in the war zone, the correspondent
says he never has heard such terrific
and unintermittent sunfire as has
gone on since Tuesday afternoon.
The British at dusk ON Tuesday
were advancing in the neighborhood
of WytSchaetc, south of YpreS, and
were reported again to be holding the
ground which they had lost there.
Among the numerous enemy at
tacks Tuesday afternoon and evening
on the northern front in Flanders
one in great force in the Zillebeke
sector was disastrous for the Ger
mans whose massed waves were shot
down at close range. They apparent

MEET LOSSES FRANKLY
BY associated Press

London, April 17.-There is no in
clinatien here to minimize the SER
iousness of the loss of Bailleul and
the possibility that it may lead to the
necessity of evacuating Ypres and
Passchendaele.
Under the heading They still ad-
vance" the Daily Mail says that up
to this time their advance, the Ger
mans. have been marshy ground.
Yesterday they captured the first of
the important ridges by storming
Wytschaete, being aided by the fall
of Bailleul and thus the security of
the Ypres salient, so long the bull
wark of our left and touched with
such immortal memories to us, is i'm
periled."
Advocates Withdrawal
The Daily Graphic thinks it would
be wise to withdraw the British
troops from Ypres and Passehendaele
to "avoid the risk of their being cut
off and compelled to surrender" 1t
continues:
THAT the situation is made more
serious by the loss of Bailleul is
obvious and it would be dishonest to
pretend otherwise"
The paper adds however, that as
long as the allied armies remain un-
broken, Germany's purpose is not at
tanned, while she is eXhausting her.
self in order to force decision.
Correspondents on the front say
the Gerpans have used up 120 of
their 200 divisions in the west and
have been able to bring another two
divisions from Russia.
Want Truth Known
"These unpleasant reverses must
be faced steadily" says the Times.
Their significance must neither be
minimized nor exaggerated. Far
more serious than the loss of ground
is the revelation of the growing
weight of the German pressure.
I'VE hear far too much of the
enemy's losses, mistakes, difficulties
and of their failure to reach appoint
ed detectives on particular days and
not half enough about the serious
fact that they are still bringing fresh
divisions from Russia"
The Times says the enemy will
continue drawing on their reserves
in Russia until "allied statesmen
stop dreaming vain dreams about
Russia and do something practical to
compel the enemy to cease depicting
the Russian 'front.'

DON'T RUSH GARDEN

Don't rush the garden season, warns
a specialist of the State college ex-
tension division. The garden is not
yet warm enough to plant any but the
most hardy varieties, and most gard
en- seed planted now will decay. Most
varieties will produce food crops just
as soon if planted two weeks later.
Seed Is short-don't waste it. 1t is
imperative that it be purchased early,
otherwise many home gardeners may
be handicapped. Seed should be
planted with care. The wasteful
method Of planting thickly and then
thinning must not be practiced this
year. Plant the seeds just the right
distance apart and there will be less
work later when the plants begin to
crowd.
This is no time to experiment with
new varieties of vegetables. 1t is best
to grow few. If any, of the fancy veg
etables until an ample amount Of the
essential food varieties are planted.
The following may be considered rs
staples and every grower is urged TO
plant them largely: Beans, cabbage,
carrots, sweet corn. onions, parsnips,
peas, potatoes, satisfy, spinach, to-
matoes and turnips.
