successes. According to the latst

towns Of BailieuI, WulVerehem and
Wytschaete are in German hands,
and, more important still, the Teu-

that wascd along the battle line

Wytschaste. Ncuve Eeiise was ta-
ken Monday. but 8aiifeul held out
until fresh masses Of German troops
were hurled INTO the tray and
charged repeatedly on the tired de-
tenders. The sar;e story might be
told OF Wuivc:ghem and Wytsch'
aese, while the battle for Mess'nes

Intensity. =.
The Germans have not attempt
ed to advance their wedge further
into the sriSsh lines, for no new

voted their sole attention to the
work Of widening out the salient and
striking at MessInes ridge and the
railroad running about SIX miles

the key to the Ypres sector. ard IT'S
