The members were well treated by

first serious reverse. They believe
the end Of the fight in Finland is only

British Army Headquarters IN
France, April 1.-The Germans last
evening made two attacks in quick
succession against the British lines
west of the town of Albert, but on both
occasions the enemy was thrown back.
At 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, the
Germans made heavy attack between
Moreuil and Demuin. Fierce fighting
followed. The attacking troops grad
ually forced their way forward until
they penetrated the large forest lying
northeast of Moreuil. A little later
the Germans were reported to be en-
tering Hangard and to be moving west
ward along the Luce river.
