The position Of the Germans is such
that only the sternest defense will
avail to check their threatening ad.

Al other points along the battle
line the Germans have made i'm
portant gains. At ViIlers-Breton-
reUx the British have held their lines
and completed the work of clearing
out the last German positions on
the ground held before the German
attack on Wednesday, but Hangard
apparently is still in German hands,
and the 7eutons have forged ahead
just to the north Of this village, and
are reported to have launched at
tacks on the town CT Cachy, without,
however, having occupied the place.
Further south, Immediately north
Of CasteI, the Germans have pene-
trated the village of HaiIles and are
in possession of Hill 81, south Of the
VILLAGE. The French have counter
attacked on this front and reeained
ground.
At no other points has the enemy
advanced. although bitter fighting
has been going on in many sectors
in both the Somme and Armenteres
battle areas.
There have been artillery dueIs at
various points along the French
front to the south OF the Somme,
as we'll as positions further south.
Only the usual patrol engagements
have been reported from the Italian

WASHINGTON, April 26~Strong TO
Inducements came to tho nations third
popular war credit to-day as result
Of the celebration OF Liberty Day with
parades and demonstrations In practi-
cally every part Of the country, and the
campaign, now three weeks old- WAS
given new impetus for the final week,
which starts next Monday. Total SUD-
scrtpions Of zoos, $50, 200 were reported
tonight by the treasury, but THIS rep
resented pledges received by banks ana
trust companies up to the opening OF
business to-day, and to-day's business
will not be tabulated entirely BEFORE TO-
morrow night.
The loan period Is IS per cent over,
and only CT per cent Of the three Dill
lions sought has been subscribed THIS
is the consideration which prompted
officials to send out word to local COM
nlittees to exert every bit Of energy to
harvest moro subscriptions. On tho
other hand, 1t Is recalled that when the
second Liberty Loan campaign was
three fourths over only 81 100000
subscriptions had been reported OFF,
cially, and more than $a4oo,ooorooo
pledges rolled in during the last week
In many communities to-day only
banks were open for business, ana
these were kept busy all day taking ap-
pications for bonds.
President Wilson, who proclaimed this
Liberty day, spent the afternoon TO-
viewing the long procession OF 10000
government clerks and other washing
ton citizens, with few soldiers, which
filed up Pennsylvania avenue for moro
than three hours and half.

WHOLE YPRES POSITION
Continued from FIRST Page.)

Ypres position is in peril from the
German drive northward from the
IowIands lying to the west OF Ar
mentieres.
The Tcutons launched terrific at
tacks along the whole Wytschaete-
Bailleul-Meteren line Wednesday,
apparently for the purpose of find
ing a point which might yield. They
evidently found that spot in the sec
tcn OF the front held jointly by the
British and French troops, and
against it they hurled fresh diV-
slons which fought their way for
ward all day thursday, until at
nghtfail they had surrounded kem-
mel Hill and isolated the French
troops holding the position.
All night long the fight went on,
and it was not until Friday that the
Germans succeeded in storming up
the slopes Of the height.
The loss Of KENNEL Hill is seri-
Gus, for it overIooks much Of the
Iowlands lying back Of the Allied
lines in the Ypres salient. The hill

west of Ypres, and completely out
TANKS tho British on the northern
slopes OF Messines ridge. to which
they we're forced by the German as
sauIts of two weeks ago. The line
to the southwest, toward Baillcul,
apparently is in no particular dan
ger at present, although the village
of Dranoutrc has been lost to the
enemy.
So important is the possession Of
KENNEL Hill that the Allies must
launch counter-attack to recap
ture it, and the French have begun
a savage attack on the height. IF
the Germans continue to hold It,
and either consolidate their lines or
push en-, the Allies will be at great
disadvantage in future engage
merits.
The latest reports from the scene
of the battle are that the Germans
are attacking on a line from La
Clytte to the Ypres-Comines Canal.
LaClytte is about a mile and half
north of kimmel Hill, and is six and
onc-half miles west of the Ypres-Co-
mines Canal, which runs almost due
south from Ypres.
The evident purpose Of this attack
is to roll up the Allied positions
