Incessant German attacks on tho

Ypres-Comines and La Basseo
canals continued all day yesterday
and were still being pressed last
night.
The British gave up the gas-envel
oped ruins of Armentieres and
withdrew so that their front here
conformed with the new lines on

the Allied forces were withdrawn
about two miles, to beyond Estaires
and Steenwerck.
North of Armentieres heavy as
saults on the important Messincs
Ridge were repulsed with great
loss to the Germans. For thei..
sacrifice they gained only a small
piece of ground at Ploegsteert
Wood.
At Hollebeke, the northern end of
the battlefront. the Germans
came forward in massed waves
which the British artillery cut to
fragments.
Wytschaete changed hands several
times in fierce hand -to-hand con-
f1icts, finally remaining in British
possession. The enemy for time
held La Crech, Nieppe and Hol-
lebeke, but was forced out again.
Berlin claims the capture Of 10000
prisoners, including a Portuguese
general, in the new offensive.
General Sixt Won Arnim commands
the enemy forces in the northern
half of the front and General von
Quasi in the southern.
The Germans are using enormous
quantities Of gas shells. The
whole region is heavy with the
poison. Marshal Haig reports
Armentieres was "full of gas
when evacuated.
The enemy since the beginning of
this new battle has pushed for
ward about six miles in the fiat
country between the Messines
Ridge and the high ground around
Givenchy, but has failed to shake
the British grasp at either end of
the line, or to win any command

These figures will rise rapidly within

individual banks and trust companies
get into the habit of reporting
promptly.

0versnbscribing the third Liberty
Isan for s3,0o0,00o, 900 is the task
that lies ahead of the American people.
Though an improvement over the
totals for the first four days in the
second loan, the official figures in
dicate that the striking total for the
Second Federal Reserve District,
which includes New York, cannot be re-
garded as a barometer of what the
rest Of the districts are doing.
Subscriptions for the first four
working days of the campaign, reported
b. banks and trust companies in ten of
the Twelve Federal Reserve districts,
amount to~S:z5,s 900.
These represent pledges backed up by
initial payments, but since many
banks reports we're not included in
this total, and two districts, Philadel-
,phia and Minneapolis, were missing
from the tabulation, it is believed the
actual total is near s4O0,000,000.
The New York district alone reported

on the other hand, reported only

this was an error in transmission.
