London, April 10.-The Germans this
morning renewed their northern attack
from east of Armentieres as far as Mes
sines( five miles north of Armentieres)
General Maurice, director Of operations,
announced this afternoon.
"They entered our line between the
Lys and the Douve Zone mile south OF
Messines) and captured a considerable
portion Of Ploegsteert wood (two miles
south of the Douve," he said.
"The enemy is carrying out its orig.
inal program of attempting to bleed
the British army white" Maurice said,
"The attack on the Messines front
has been + pulsed and no high ground
has been gained by the enemy but the
small advance made, together with yes
terday' S gains, may make Armentieres a
very awkward salient. The enemy is now
on both sides of Armentieres, which is
a heap of ruins. If it is lost it will
not be vital.
"Last night east Of the old battle
field, the French carried out a with
drawal from an awkward angle due tc
retirements Of the Fifth army. Two
French battalions were cut off and
probably 1000 taken prisoner. The
French fell back to a strong line on the

London Indorses It

London, April 10.-The London morn
ing newspapers, for the most part,
praise Premier Lloyd-George s courage
in demanding Irish transcription. They
hold it purely a matter of Justice, re-
pay a portion of the cost of world
freedom.
Though it is realized the enforce
ment of CONSUMPTION in Ireland is
fraught with possibilities of a serious
nature, there seems to be a desire for
la showdown. There is confidence that
possible organized resistance in Ire
land would be defeated, because it is
believed thflt such resistance would
mot represent all ireland s opinion, but
merely the fragment which is respons.
i've to the obstructionist politicians.
After all, it is held by the London
press, it is the government s duty to
enforce all measures for the country Z
safety, upon all subjects.
The Express said: 1--WE are warned
that consumption will unity the ma
tionalists and Sin Feiners in rebellion
against the British. We do not believe
this. If Ireland does not respond to
CONSUMPTION, strong orders from the
government must govern the situation

President Wilson cleared the way by

The general belief. here is that con
