ENEMY LOSSES HEAVY
Attack Now Directed With
View of uTrning Flan-
derS Front
By associated Press

Although the great German
thrust launched last week
against the British lines from
Givenchy to Npres has bent back
the British front badly in this
entire area, the offensive here
stands checked to-day and in
imminent danger of utter failure
so far as the larger results
aimed at are concerned.
Field Marshal Haig's troops
yesterday had to meet one OF
ethe severest tests yet put upon
them in withstanding a German
effort to broaden out the salient
created before the early impetus
OF the German drive in the Lys
battlefield was spent. They
came through the ordeal with
colors flying and completely
stopped the German onrush.

eleven-mile sector on the southerly
side of the salient. German troops
were hurled in masses on the Brit
ish positions in an effort to break
through to the southwest behind
Bethune and compel the British to
fall back from Givenchy and along
the front southwark towards Vimy
ridge and Arras.
The defensive line held firm de-
spite repeated desperate assaults
which cost the Germans enormous
losses. Last night the battle had
died down to an artillery duel
German line Exposed
Further efforts, probably of an
equally determined nature, may be
expected from the Germans. who are
in too exposed a position from en-
filading gunire in their narrow
salient to rest comfortably where
they are. Indeed. they resumed
their attacks last night in the Mount
KENNEL region on the northern side
of the battlefield, southwest of
Ypres where they are finding the
British firmly installed on the DOM
mating heights. These assaults like
the preceding ones, were failures.
On the Somme battlefront the
French have held to their gains
of yesterday in the region of CasteI
where they drove the German further
from the line of the Paris-Amiens
railway in spirited local attack.
German machine gun nests on tho
front of this attack were wiped ONT
by the French during the night.
The British troops are standing
firm before strong enemy attacks on
the front north of Arras. while
southeast of Amiens the French
have driven the Germans back in
the region of Castel.

Openly Into Death
Before Mount KENNEL

Ottawa. April 10 The British
battle line is more secure than it mas
been for days, justifying the belief
the enemy may be held in present
positions, says a Reuter- dispatch re-
Ceived from London to-day.
The arrivel of the French is re-
garded as most important. They are
described as splendidly seasoned
men, The sight of the long blue lines
marching up the roads heartened the
British, giving them a fresh sense
of security and the news of the
French aggressive stroke south of
Amiens still further heartened the
anxious watchers at home. The Brit
ish withdrawal east of Yyres was due
to the German advance from the
south along the Lys valley, threaten

Before Mount KENNEL, the rugged
wood hill that already has cost the
enemy so dearly, their masses are adj
vancing openly and are moved down.
The enemy here is trying to break a
way beyond Meteren and west of
Bailleul. Although we abandoned
Meteren and Wytschaete, the enemy
position is most uncomfortable.

Italy, which follows with admira-
