Weary British Battle
Desperately, But Fresh
German Troops Gain
By the Associated Press.

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
FRANCE, April 16.-Bailleul, eight and
a half miles east of Hazebrouck, in
Flanders, was captured and occupied by
the Germans last evening. when the
enemy also seized lie Revetsberg ridge,
east of the town. AS result the Brit
ish pulled their lines back northward
somewhat to positions running east
and west little above Bailleul and
LIE Revetsberg.
Fighting is continuing in this sector,
with the Germans trying to push west
ward toward the railway center OF
Fazebrouck.
The loss of Bailleul was not unexpect-
ed. for its strategicai value could not
compensate for the lives 1t would cost
to retain it in the face of the terrible
onslaughts the Germans would be able
to bring to bear against it,
Last nights attack was preceded by
guns of all calibers. After this intense
preparation the enemy flung into the
line the Alpine corps. the 117th Ger
man division. and the 18th Bavarian
division and bore down on the defend
Mount de Lille-high ground just
southeast of Bailleul--to Crucifix Cor
ner, an elevation on the Bailleul-
Neuve Eglise highway about 1000 yards
west of the latter place.
Fight Is Desperate.
Desperate fighting ensued, but the
battle-weary defenders, despite their
gallant resistance, were unable to with
stand the shock from overwhelming
numbers of fresh troops. Slowly the
British lines fell back. but unbroisen
and in good order. until they reached
their present positions. where they
held.
About the time the Germans surged
forward against Bailleul they also at
tempted to advance by two attacks
southwest of Bailleul just opposite
the northeast corner Of the forest of
Nieppe. These drives were preceded
by heavy minenwerfer preparations.
One attack was driven back by artil-
lery fre before the opposing infantry
came to close quarters, but the other
materialized.
The Germans hurled themselves
against the British furiously, but with
out avail, for the line held and the at
lacking troops were forced to fall
back. The attack in the Baflleul sec
tor had been boiling all day and had
been expected to break at any mo-
ment The Germans continued to pour
northwestward along the roads lead
ing to Estaires and again the British
dying corps did great work. The in

Settlement of this controversy
which has held senate attention fol
several days, cleared the way for

Besides disposing of the draft age

important amendments to the army
bill.

and effecting rights of neutrals under
the draft law.

come American citizens shall not Dc
eligible for citizenship if they claim
exemption from the draft This pro
vision was adopted as substitute FOL
an amendment provided by the state
department which provides for eA
emntion from the draft of all citizens
of neutral countries.
The question of extending the draf
age limits occupied almost all OF th'
session. A proposal by Senator
Hardwick of Georgia that the pres
