LONDON, May S.--After a heavy bOmbardment on a wide ront in .F1anders the German infantry this morning launched an attack south of Dickebusch Lake. which lies between YpTes and Kemmel, says Reuters cor respondent at British headquarters.
 The attack apparently was in di- visional strength. but it may develop larger proportions. The enemy seems to have penetrated cur front line be tween the lake and Ridge Wood and some parties of Germans are reported in the eastern wood itself. The fight ing continues in fine weather and under good visibility"
 We still hold the major part of the wood and also Kleine Vierstraai The technical objective of eHemy Op- erations seem to be an attempt to clear the way for a thrust toward Scherpenberg from the northeast. and it may prove to be the beginning of further fierce fighsing ih this re- giOn.'

 Two of the patrols took a position on the right and left flank while the third. composed of eight men under cammand of Lieutenant Cassidy, exc cuted a clever turning movement and entered Anservillers hamlet from the rear ana fell upon the German ad- vance post. The patrol fired only one shot and then attacked the Germans with trench knives. A fierce struggle ensued. the Germans using the butts of their rifles against the American knives. The fight ended with the death of two Germans and the wound ing of their corporal who, with three other men were brought back to the American lines. There were no cas- ualties among the Ameicans.
