bardcd by Allied naval forces yestcr-
day, the Perrin War Office reports to-

for the attack.
Coincident with this action the Brit

opened up heavy fire on the German
line. 1t is Interesting to note in this
connection that the chief object of
Haig's drive last year east Of Ipres
was to sever the enemy's lines of COM
