the strain of continuous offensive

For this reason many observers

BRITISH AND FRENCH LINES STILL REMAIN INTACT


tion that an immediate withdrawal
from Ypres is contemplated by the
allies, at least not until they have
exacted from the enehy a great sac
rifice Of human lives.
The only point at which the Ger
mans made any gains was on the
hilly section of the front back Of
KENNEL HILL where the French are
standing At some points the enemy
was able to occupy portions OF the
line but from the greater part OF
these they were driven out by the
French who re-established their de.
fenses.
Frontal attacks on Ypres would
seem to indicate that there is little
confidence In the German general
staff that the Ypres positions can
be outflanked from the south. The
lines as they stand today are very
strong and withstood the onset OF
the Germans in 1914 when the Teu.
ton army was much different ma.
chine than 1t is today The bloody
repulse of the Germans in their
great plunge forward will mean much
in future operations in that sector
of the battle line.
When the struggle was going on
before Ypres, the British positions
from La Basse to Houthoulst wood
and from Lens to Vimy were de-
luged with shells but so far there
has been no infantry fighting re-
ported from that part of the front.
An attack on this salient in the
German lines is expected soon, how
ever, for 1t stands as a constant
menace to further advance by the
enemy.

Germany's armies are hurting
themselves against a granite wall
on the three sides Of the ruined city
of Ypres, After fighting of the
most terrific nature the British and
French lines are still intact and the
enemy has lost terribly in his re,
peated assaults against the lines
where the allies stand at bay.
The objective of the fighting that
now is going on is the capture Of
Ypres, where since 1914 the British
have held their positions. Two years
ago the allied lines were carried for
ward and the salient In front of the
city was wiped out, but from these
positions the British retired a week
ago to the trenches where they stood
during the terrific fighting in the
spring of 1915, when they stopped
the Germans in their first drive for
the channel ports.
The present battle opened with a
bombardment of the British and
French lines from Meteren to voor-
distance of twelve miles
Then came reports of a spread of
