tBy Associatea Pre..l


 Peace talk pervades the air, but II is falling on deaf ears as far as Inc armies in the field are con cerned. Instead of a relaxation in the intensity of the fighting, new hostilities on what seemingly Is a major scale are being carried out by the British, French and Bel gians in Belgian Flanders.
 Having cleared out the old Laon salient and made advances north ward in Champagne which are lnenacing the retirement of the Germans eastward toward the Val cnciennes-Meziere line, Gem eral FOch has ordered drive in the Lys river region of Flanders toward Ghent, which threatens to break entirely the grip of the Ger mans all the way from the frontier to the coast and likewise to elim- mate the big bulge in the line with Lille as its apex.
 While the latest official cOni- ,nunication from Field Marshal Hnfg announces that only local ac- ffOns have taken place in the new theatre and that prisoners have been taken in the fighting. dispatches from headquarters as- sert that Roulers has been captured and that Courtray, the Junction point on the raiI- way leading to Ghent. has been Outflanked. The French troops alone are said to have taken 5000 prisoners, while the Belgians have captured several complete batter ies and guns and numerous prisOn- CTS. Just how wide the new front of attack is has not become appar- ent. 1t is stated that the new ad- vance has brought the allied troops within range of the enemy coast defenses, but that the guns from them have offered no opposition.
 Meantime, to the south the Ger mans are offering stiff oppOsi- tion to the British southwest of

 Probably the greatest resistance of all is faced by the Americans on both sides of the Mouse river. Vicious counter attacks are being delivered against the men iron. the United States, the fierceness of the assaults indicating that fresh forces have been brought into the Tray to halt their dO-Or-dfe efforts to proceed up the river valleys and thereby compel the Germans in case of a retreat to wend their way ohlfqueIy nOrtheastward. instead of eastward, toward the German bor- der. Concentrations of artillery are being used against the Amerl- can positions at various places. Gas shells are not being spared by the enemy in his efforts to hold the Americans in check.
 All the counter attacks of the Germans thus far have been sec cessfully withstOOd by General Liggett's men and American ar- tilIery is answering the German guns shot for shot.
