Ottawa, April 1s.-The British bat
tie line is more secure than it has
been for days, justifying the belief
that the enemy may be held in their
present positions, says a Reuter- dis
patch received from London today.
The change OF front OF the German
attack 10 the region between Civ
enchy and east Of Robecu found no
weak spot in the British resistance.
the dispatch says. There was only
one point in the new battle area
where the enemy gained anything,
this being opposite the hill OF Hinges,
where he succeeded in bridging La
Bassee canal. but the Germans who
crossed came as prisoners.
This new German attack in the
direction Of Bethune'' the dispatch
continues. Els obviously intended to
protect his hanEs If he wishes to
drive farther northward. The enemy
is trying TO secure La Bassee canal
with the object OF safeguarding his
troops around Bailleul and stimuli
taneously imperilling the British in
the french coal field near Bethuue.
The arrival OF the French support
Is regarded as most important. They
are described as splendidly seasoned
men. The sight OF the long blue
lines marching up the roads hearten-
ed the British. giving them q fresh
sense OF security and the news Of
the French aggressive stroke south
Of AmienH still further heaFtened the
anxious watchers. at home. The
British withdrawal east Of Ypres
was due 70 the German advance from
the south along the Lys valley,
threatening communication OF the
Tpres army. Thus the distance that
-
the enemy looked like breaking
through the lfastel- KENNEL line and
heights has been reduced. The result
Of yesterdays fighting shows the
enemy looks less like breaking
through than IL did.
They are no nearer possession OF
the important heights between them
and the coast They failed to get
Givenchy and are still no nearer
HazebrOucks whose capture is neces-
sarv TO the enemy plans.
Before Mount Kimmel. the rugged
wood hfil that has already cost tho
enemy 90 dearly. their masses are
advancing openly and are moved
down The enemy here is trying 20
break away beyond Meteren and
west OF Bailleul Although we
abandoned Meteren and Wytschaete
the enemy's position is most uncom-
Portable.
The German outposts were unable
to advance beyond the north side OF
Meteren- It cannot be said that the
general situation is less anxious but
there iE undoubtedly increasing
confidence in the united command.
There is still expectation OF renewed
thrusts at Amiens and the French
correspondents speak OF the
enormous enemy concentrations be-
tween Arras and Amiens."

EIy dear cousin,

My dear cousin,
AS l receivedyour card yes
t&rday I will answer it to-day with
8 short letter. This leaves me well
and enjoying camp life as could be
expected, for you know that no enc
could enjoy themselves in the army
1t this day and time, for they just
drill and hike us pretty near TO
death and it is OH SO hit down here.
You can just imagine about how
hot 1t is as it has been ell the way
from I16 to 124 degrees; and you
can imagine how that would be
when you have to hike Is miles q
day with pack on your back.
You know I was pretty tough be-
fore came to the army but this has
sure got my goat.
And if the army don't make a
H!an CT anyone now, it is nc use for
them to try and make man OFT Of
themselves when they come back.
Believe ME, if l was at home l
would cut cord wood, farm CT do
anything that was to be done. Now
this letter is meant for you and Is
aac both.
sure would like to be at your
place where 1 could get q good
square meal once more. For l
always did get good things to cat
there. Tell Isaac 1 would like TO be
there to help him cut corn. l never
would cut corn before but believe
now that can cut corn as good as
any body and tell him I said to re-
member me also in his little family
prayrs at night. AS no one knows
1t may do US some good. 1t won't
DC long before I'll be across the
deep blue sea with the rest of the
boys. And thenit will not be much
longer before we will be back home
as I don't think the war will last
much longer.
Tell all the children hello, for me
