HARD FIGHTING STILL PROGRESSES ON LINE
 IN FLANDERS REGION
TWO ENEMY DIVISIONS IN ATTACK WHICH NETTED SMALL GAIN ARE PUNISHED SEVERELY - GROUND RETAKEN
 IN COUNTER ATTACK.

Heavy fighting, although on a comparatively narrow front, is continuing in Flanders, where the Germans began yes terday another attempt to drive a wedge into the Entente lines and outflank the hill positions southwest of Ypres.
 This attempt failed and only a temporary success was ob- tained by the enemy in gaining a foothold in the Allied front line at points between Voor- mezeele and La Clytte.
 Last night the British and French drove back sharply at the Germans and busted them from the small bits of territory they had won. Heavy casualties were inflicted on the two German divisions which were engag- ed in this operation.
 Notwithstanding their heavy losses the Germans seem reluctant to aban- don the effort and this morning found them renewing the attack to the north of Kemmel, in the Vierstraet region. A heavy machine gun fire forced the British line back at one point, but the recession was a slight one and the ground remained disputed territory. The fighting was continuing here when the day report from British headquar- ters was dispatched.
 The British are continuing to inn prove their positions in the Somrne region on the high ground between the somme and the Ancre. Further progress was made there during the night. There was local fighting in the Bucquoy region.
 Seemingly the Germans are attack ing in the hope of driving the Allies back toward, the Kemmelbeek river and it's branches or beyond Poperinghe and thus outf1ank the heights running west from Mont Kemmel. Very heavy losses were inflicted on the enemy an his previous strong effort to penetrate this line and the line about Locre and it's adjoining hills. It may be that the attack is only a mask for a stronger effort elsewhere, although to break through the Vormezeele-Lccre- line might be of marked advantage to the enemy.
 Elsewhere in Flanders and in Pic ardy the infantry has been inactive. The big guns, however, are roaring without cessation, especially north and south of the Avre, east of An1iens. l Aerial fighting is most active and in 8 big air battle near Dousi, British avi- ators brought down eight of the enemy without any losses. Four more Ger man machines were brought down at other points.
 Bad weather prevails on the Ameri= can sectors in France. Northwest of Toul an American patrol has been ambushed by the Germans. In this sector also American heavy artillery has been in action for the first time.

STOREHOUSE FIRE IN NEW HAVEN IS
 DELAYING TRAINS

Fire which broke out at l2:l0 o'clock this afternoon in a storage supply house of the New Haven rail- roads yards, in New Haven, was the cause of a general hold-up of traffic over the main line At 2 o'clock the blaze was still raging, and the amount of damage could not be estimated The origin of the flames is un- known.
 The building burning this afternoon is a. one story wooden structure 100 by 50 feet. It was used as a store house for equipment, and was erect ed on the site of a similar structure which was destroyed by fire two years ago.
 Early this afternoon the firemen were fighting the flames with great yigor. and traffic on the main line, although considerably hampered, was not stopped entirely. It was said in New Haven that main line trains would not be held up completely un- less the fire spread in the direction of the tracks.
 The storehouse was located in the railroad yards just west of the pas senger station which was burned to the ground yesterday.
