PUT 5000 MEN TO
MILE IN TERRIFIC BATTLE

London. April 13.-The London
evening newspapers, in reviewing
the situation on the western front,
state that in the Wytschaete region
the Germans failed to get the main
crest of the ridge. The Germans
have taken the village of Messines,
while the British are holding the
outskirts.
Attacks on Wytschaete and the
Messines Ridge failed, the Germans
losing very heavily in their attack.
At least seventeen divisions are
engaged on the German side on the
front from Hollebeke to Givenchy,
the reviews declare, that being the
number it is estimated that have
been thrown into the fighting up to
the present.
This would mean that the Ger
mans put more than 100000 in ac-
ton so far on this mparatively
narrow front of twenty-five miles
or more, or some 5000 men to every
mile of frontage.
The reviewers point out that the
Germans, checked in their advance
toward Bethune, have turned west
ward with the idea of developing
a success in the direction of Bailleul,
which is an important railway CEN
ter and HaZebrouck, about fourteen
miles west of Armentieres. They
point out that the enemy is now
within a short distance of Bailleul
and that his advance in the direc-
ton of Hazebrouck has taken him
rather more than halfway there
from his original starting point.
The enemy's flank in the direc-
ton of Bethune and the remaining
coal area of northern France is a
comparatively broad one, making it
appear that he may intend, if
checked westward, to renew his
pressure southwark. On the other
hand. it is pointed out that the
enemy is advancing over a flat, in
tricate country and has not yet OBJ
tanned a foothold on any of the hills.
Prospect Grim For British
1T is indeed obvious that the
enemy, backed by unlimited artil-
lery, is doing what has up till this
time been unprecedented in the

With the French Army in France,
Thursday evening, April 1.-Two
strong enemy attacks last night and
this morning in the vicinity of Noy-
on, which were repulsed easily by
the French, give rise to the question
whether the Germans are about TO
make another attack on their south
ern flank.
1t is evident that the German high
command is beginning to experience
some disquietude over the loss of so
many men, and the dislocation of so
many divisions which has not given
the results expected.
Already considerably more than
100 German divisions have been
thrown into the fight and more than
seventy divisions have since been
withdrawn to fill up the gaps in the
ranks. When it is remembered that
the Germans hitherto have not taken
a division out of the fighting line
until it has suffered a minimum of
$500 casualties. some idea may be
obtained of the enormous extent of
their losses.
TO the casualties in the divisions
which have been withdrawn must be
added those of divisions still engaged
in battle. They still have sufficient
