HARD FIGHTING CONTINUES
lRY ASSOCIATED PREssl

What possibly may prove to be the
prelule to the long expected resump'
tion of hostilities by the Germans on
the western front is being planned.
Southeast of Ypres, from the reg.
ion OF Voormezeele to LaClytte, the
Germans have launched an attack
against the British and French troops
holding the line and at certain points
over the five mile battlefront they
have met with some success by pene.
trating front line trenches. Apparent
ly, however, over the greater part
of the field Of combat they met with
repulses.
The enemy began the attack after q
heavy preliminary bombardment. The
ground gained is south OF Dickebusch
Lake and in Ridge wood around which
places hard fighting was continuing
at last accounts
To Outfiank Ypres.
The objective of the enemy seems
to be the pushing forward of his line
in this region in order still further to
outflank Ypres on the southwest and
press on toward Poeperinghe and the
railway line running between that
town and Ypres. l.>.,. J.
AS yet only meagre advices have
come through concerning the nature
of the engagement, but unofficial re-
ports indicate that 1t was made only
by divisional strength. Whether 1t
would develop later into another Of
the great battles that have been fought
in this area. could not be fpretold.
On the remainder of the front in
Flanders and Picardy artillery duels
and small operations continue on iso-
lated sectors. The French south OF
La Clytte have penetrated German ad-
vanced positions and taken prisoners
and the Australians east Of Am'ens
have again pitched in and taken over
portions OF the German line The ar.
tillery activity has been particularly
heavy on both banks Of the Avre,
southwest OF Amiens, and on the sec
tor in Picardy held by the American
trooDs On the Toul sector the Ameri-
cans for the first have opened against
the Germans with their heavy artfl.

On the other batlefrOnts the oDer.
ations continue Of a minor character.
In Mesopotamia the British have ad-
vanced their line to within eighty
miles of Mosul, capturing the town Of
Kerkuk, which the Turks evacuated
without giving battle.
The reports that the American army
in France was fast becoming fac
tor Of great Importance in the war
have been confirmed by Secretary OF
War Baker. In statement Mr. Baker
said that the forecast he made In AIN
uary that there was strong likelihood
that early in the present year 100000
American troops would be dispatched
to France had been SURPASSED. The
Secretary said also that there was no
shortage of light or heavy types or
guns in France or America. and that
no shortage was in prospect.

"The measures heretofore taken by
