ish Headquarters in France, "the
French and British positions on this
front were completely re-established."
Huns Beaten in Flanders.
After two days of furious fighting
over three-miIe front, the Germans
again have been decisively beaten with
heavy casualties on the Flanders field.
The report from British headquarters
in France announces that General
Haigs men, aided by the French, have
completely restored the situation on
the La electromagnetic sector.
The combat was of the most vicious
character, the enemy coming forward
repeatedly in waves.
Huns Use rs 5000 Men.
In the struggle in this sector the
Germans employed about $4,000 troops
in their initial onslaught over the
three-mile front. At the first impact
the enemy was able to break through
in the center, near Vierstraet, which
lies near Dickebusch lake. The allies,
however, held the Boche on both
TANKS.
Germans Come on Again.
Following tremendous artillery work
the Boehe reattacked and again was
able to make progress in the center of
M
ish supports promptly came forward,
and for several hours there was the
most furious kind of small arms bat
Ting.

regiments with vastly reduced num-
bers, were forced back, General Haig
says, and the allies original lines re-
established.

the line.
The French, after driving the Ger
mans completely from their positions,
consolidated them in the face of nu-
merOus counter-attacks and captured
$50 prisoners.
British Regain Ground.
Further north in the Picardy battle
front the British also were successful
in "a local attack. Striking in the Al
bert sector, northeast of Amiens, they
recapture6 $50 yards of trench line
which the Germans had taken the day
before, thus completely restoring their
line in this region.
Big Effort in Rear of Somme Front.
1.-THE bulk of the German reserves Is
still in the rear of the Somme front,
and it must be assumed the enemy's
big, main effort will be in that direc-
tion," said representative of Gen.
eral Delma Radcliffe, chief director of
military operations. ut is equally
certain that he will not discontinue his
attacks in Flanders"
