easing of their pressure on the Flan-
ders front, but the preliminary in
tenSive bombardment was of COM
paratively short duration. The drum
fire began early to-day, followed
shortly by the advance of the in
fantry.
What apparently was intended as
a surprise blow without notable ar
,illery preparation was launched by
the Germans at dusk last evening
northwest of Albert. The British
were on the alert however. and met
the advance with q hail of rifle and
machine-gun fire. driving back the
enemy.

with the British guns in severely
furnishing the enemy.
Battle Continues
Correspondents dispatches from
the front indicate that the infantry
lighting on the northern front is con-
tinuing to-day, although it had not
developed up 10 this afternoon how
se:ions the enemy movement in this
region was.
heavy bombardment of the Brit
ish positions on both sides of the
River Lave was opened early this
morning and an infantry attack fol-
lowing would mean a drive in the
direction of Bethune, past which the
Lave runs in northeasterly direc-
ton. The Germans were badly de-
feated last week in an all-day at
tack on this front.
In view of the reports from both
the Somme and the Flanders front
the possibility suggests itself that
the Germans may be simultaneously
resum!ng major attacks in each
area. with Amiens in the one sector
and Bethune or Hazebrouck in the
other as the respective objectives.

written one of the most amusing and
diverting hbrettes ever produced on
the stage. The musical numbers are

cations that ensue furnish much scope
for farcical situations and the author

direct to the department and possibly
we will be called upon to inspect these
