Germans Enter Allies Lines.

London, MAY 9-The Germans, in
heavy local attack on the Flanders
front between La Clytte and Vorme-
zeele, succeeded in entering the Fran
co-British line positions front, in the
center, after heavy fighting.
Field Marshal Haig'S report says:
THE enemy launched a strong local
attack against the French and British,
troops holding the sector between La
Clytte and VOrmeZeele, and in the cen
ter of his attack succeeded, after
heavy fighting, in entering the from:
line of the allied positions at certain
points.
Fighting is continuing in those 10
calities. At other points the enemv's
attacks were repulSed.
by successful local operation the
French troops advanced their line over
night south of the La Clytte and cap
tured prisoners.
From the remainder of the British
front there is nothing of special inter-
est TO report"
after a heavy hombardment on a
infantry launched an attack south of
DickebuSch lake, which lies between
Ypres and KENNEL" says Reuters
correspondent at British headquarters
'The attack apparently was only in
divisional strength, but it may de-
velop larger proportions. The enemy
seems ia have penetrated our front
line between the lake and Ridge wood,
and some parties of Germans are re-
ported in the eastern wood itself The
fighting continues in fine weather and
under good visibility.
1--WE still hold the major part of the
wood and also Kleine Vierstraat. The
technical objective of enemy operation
seems to be an attempt to clear the
way for thrust toward Scherpem-
berg FROM the northeast, and it may
prove to be the GINNING of further
fierce fighting in this region"

Weather the Storm.
London, March 9-The action o.
General Maurice, former chief direc-
or of military operations at the war
rffice, in impunging the veracity OF
ministers of the government, has ere
ated a most serious political situation.
1t is one of vital importance to the
cabinets existence, according to the
views expressed by the morning news
papers.
In a letter to the press, General
Maurice charged David Lloyd George,
the premier, and Andrew Bonar Law,
chancellor of the exchequer, with hav-
ing made misstatements in the house
on military matters.
Mr.. Bonar Law told the house the
government proposed a court of hon
or to investigate the charges and to
have the question of discipline involv
ed dealt with by the army council.
H Fl. ASquith, former premier pro-
posed a parliamentary investigation.
The government has decided to treat
Mr.. Asquith's motion as a vote of cen
sure 1t has issued call to its sup
porters to attend the house today for
a division.
This is taken to imply the proposed
inquiry, whether by judges or parlfa-
,lentary committee, has been abandon
ID and the affair left entirely to the
Judgment of the house.
According to the Press Association,
the proposal to refer the Maurice af
fairs to two judges may be regarded

not appeal TO the house, and its re-
lection by Mr.. Asquith and his fol-
lowers rendered it worthless.
