The hinges on which the Brit

The hinges of the Flanders re-

A stretch of Is miles, between

firmly held by the British. Its

with retarding the enemy drive in

WASHINGTON, D. c., April ~.
Both the state and navy depart
ments anticipated early today that
they would be advised before
night as to the reported landing
of American marines at Vladi-
vostok.
It has been known for some
time-tho confidentially - that
the United States was represented
in the squadron lying off the ST.
berian port, but officials sug-
gested Americans would not land
there unless American lives as
we'll as property were endan-
gered.
1t is anticipated that the re-
ported American action will be
seized upon by Lenine and his
pro-German agents to inflame
the Russian people. This will be
offset, however, by an American
statement as to the necessity for
the action.
Anarchy has been rife at Vladi-
vostok, and it is assumed that
Americans would join the Japan
csc and British only in case OF
extreme necessity.
The reported landing does not
mean that this country has chang
ed its policy toward the recent
proposed Japanese Intervention In

The battle around Armentieres
is less severe and on a smaller
scale than that for Amiens. The
former really is two independent,
synchronized battles, pinching off
Armentieres by an attack on a
ten-mile front south, and on a
six-mile front north of the city.
Some German prisoners taken
at Vimy declare there was no

ones. They were ordered to push
on as far as they could.
Further battles similar to this
are possible during the lulls on
the main battlefront.
