BATTLE CONTINUES
 WITH GREAT v|G0R
Following Slight Retirement, British Are Offering Resistance to Ger
 mans Near Ypres.
Associated Press dispatch.

Associated Press dispatch.
 New York, April 18.- The great battle in Flanders and south, across the French border, is continuing with undiminished intensity.
 Having retired east of Ypres, the British now are offering desperate resistance to the Germans who are menacing Ypres and Hazebrouck, an important supply base to the south west
 French troops have come to Gen. Haig's assistance and are fighting by the side of the British in stemming the tide east of Hazebrouck.
 The heaviest fighting of the past twenty four hours has occurred along the Lys on front of fifteen miles from west of Merville to Wytschaete. The British took the offensive and re- gained Wytschaete and Meteren yes terday, but the Germans counter at tackled and forced them to retire again.
 Along the remainder of the front the enemy threw wave after wave against the Franco-British defense, but 1t did not falter, the Germans gaining nothing for sanguinary losses.
 Correspondents report the British are retiring east of Ypres to prepar- ed positions along, or close to the line from which the offensive was landed in 1917..
 On the remainder of the British front, on the Picardy battlefield and in French sectors there is no infan- try activity.
 In the Lorraine sector the Ameri cans penetrated the third German line and are in unmolested possession of No-Man's Land.
 Fifteen British, three Italian and one French merchant vessel were sunk by German mines or submarines during last week.

of the latest kind of machinery for
repairing Ford cars. One especially
important piece of this equipment is
a combination bearing burning in,

curately and better than by hand.
Several other pieces of machinery
of the highets type has been INSTALL
ed at a great expense in order to
make the work on Ford cars the best
that modern science can put and to
save as much as possible in repair
bills for the owners.
These devices are all authorized
by the equipment department of the
Ford Motor Car Co., of Detroit. and
are only found in the better equipped
shop for Ford repairs. This garage
specializes on Ford cars only. No
other repair work is done.
Special offers are made to accom-
modate owners of delivery cars who
can not spare their car any length
of time whereby they can rent an
engine at a moderate cost to use
in their car, while having their own
engine overhauled or repaired. The
same thing applies to rear axles.
Macs garage is also the local sales
station for Hassler shock absorbers.
