GERMANS OPEN
NEW PHI HASE IN
FLANDERS DRIVE
Apparently Crucial Test of Allied
Holding Power in This
Area Is at Hand
BOMBARDING HAS BEGUN
Enemy Striking With Great
Fury at Voormeceele for
Last Few Days
(By Associated Press)


d, The Germans today began what
seems to be another assault on the
British positions on the KENNEL
front southwest Of Ypres, opening a
new phase of the great drive in Elan
ders. Apparently the crucial test Of
the allied holding power in this area
is at hand. H.
The preliminary bombardment,
started in the early morning, took in
a 10 mile front from Meteren, west
of Bailleul, to Vormeceele, two
miles south of Ypres. Infantry at
tacks in this area developed shortly
afterwards, and the battle appears to
have been on In earnest when Field
Marshal Haig's report was issued in
London at noon. ~
Striking with Great Fury
The enemy has been striking with
great fury at Voormeceele for the last
two or three days, evidently hoping
to drive in behind Ypres and break
up the order of the British from the
further portions of the Ypres salient,
which they have been evacuatinE.
General Arnin has successfully been
held on from this southern bulwark
Of this salient.
Further attacks in the Voormeceele
sector may accompany the delivery Of
today's blow, but the greatest force of
this thrust SENS likely to manifest
itself in the vicinity of Locre. The
French, who are holding the line at
Locre, fortified themselves late last
week by clinging to this village, al.
though more than once driven out by
savage thrusts. Another attack which
was launched yesterday afternoon
was promptly repulsed.
TO Mask Real Purpose
Probably to mask their real pur.
pose the Germans bombarded the
southern portion of the Lys battle
