German Drive Held Up

Although the mighty assaults e the
las, twenty-four hours on the Flanders
battle front were marked by eNtraordI-
nary violence. the Germans have failed
To advance their lines anywher" and
losses that they suffered were called
very heavy by l''ejd Marshal Ilaig
i'm dispatches to the War OftiCc. The
German attacks were extended all the
way To- the positions held by The Bel
g an army along "a front from fourteen
TO sixteen miles.
The Germans were trying iu fins back
tho British flank from the hill positions
southwest Of Yprcs but their efforts all
ended in failure, aud when darkness
brough an end to the fighting the field
Of combat was covered with German
cDrpScs and the German Ines were just
where they had been in the morning
when the assaults began.
The comparative lull continues upou
the P'cardy battle front teast Of
AmiensD, but the sheilug has been very
heavy ON both sides Sharp local at
tacns were delivered on the southern
flank Of the German salient. The Ger
mans tried to force their way over the
Oise River, but were thrown back,
il was a noticeable fact that the
German War Office aid not make a
single claim as to ground gained nor
did /. mention their attempted efforts
10 throw back the Allied lines along
the Franco-Belgiau frontier.
