eedly justifies confidence in this respect.
The appearance of French battalions
and batteries of 'seventy-fves' in the
ranks of the army which the Germans
are counting on cutting off from the
Allies cannot be pleasing to the enemy.
he Germans seem to be still finding
difficulty in getting forward their bat
supplies to all parts of the advance,
although they have heavy concentra-
tlons in several parts"
The day was satisfactory, the rec
ord balancing heavily in our favor" the
dispatch adds. "The German waves
dashed against our lines in half a dozen
places, but only at Beaver Hill did they
force US to yield ground, which was
counter attacked and regained.
Strike for High Ground
"The heaviest onslaughts occurred
southeast Of KENNEL Hill and west of
Merris, and there were two attempts
northwest of Wulverghem. The en-
emy's grand objective is undoubtedly
domination of the ridge system from
KENNEL Hill to Wytschaete. While
the Germans have not made any def
mite gains, their losses have been ap-
palling.

"The German attack against the Bel

Thrown Back by Belgians
"An intense, night-long lombard
ment was probably counted upon to
forestall all resistance, but the Ger
mans speedily found that they were
mistaken, for the Belgians put up a
fight ranking as one Of the epics of
their splendid war story, finally driving
back the Germans in confusion and
taking more than 600 prisoners. This
brilliant victory was on a stretch of six
kilometres between Langemarck and
Kppe."

Canadian Guns
Pour Endless Fire
On Foes Batteries
(By Canadian Press, lad. }

CANADIAN ARMY HEADQUAR-
TIERS, April 1s.-All night long Ca
madam guns, both heavy and light, have
been active against the enemy posi-
tions, shelling hostile batteries, routes,
railways and dumps, while time after
time hostile infantry positions, as
sembly areas and communications have
been swept with a harassing fire. In
deed, artillery activity recently has
been the main feature on the Canadian
front. There have been constant duels
between our own and enemy batteries.
A considerable amount of gas has been
used.
Early this morning we carried out a
small protector gas Dombardment

attempt to effect a crossing of La
Bassee Canal. The British were
holding well and inf1icting heavy
casualties on the enemy, according to
the latest report.
Coincidentally with this preten-
tious assault the Germans surged
forward further north and again be-
gan hammering at the approaches to
KENNEL and the neighboring high
ground.
When the correspondent visited
this neighborhood at III o'clock this
morning the British artillery was
sending back its thunderous answer
to the German challenge, and the
battle was in full swing.
Face Heavy Pressure
The attack between Givenchy
and st. Venant began at o'clock
after a heavy bombardment by the
enemy artillery lasting five hours.
Hard fighting developed immedi-
ately along most Of the line. 1t
was especially intense about Given
chy and in the Robecq-Locon sec
tor. The British were facing at
least $4,000 riflemen, who were
supported by great numbers of
guns and from $4,000 to $4,000
other troops, who go to make up
the compliments for the infantry.
The defending forces at Givenchy
had sustained numerous desperate
attacks and had held their ground
during the early hours of the bat
tie. At Hinges Hill, east of LOGON,
where the German line bulged out,
close to the canal, the enemy made
a particularly determined effort to
get across the waterway. Twice
the German infantry attacked here,
each time coming forward in four
waves. In one of these drives they
succeeded in getting some bridges
across the canal, but the only Ger
mans who crossed were those who
ran over and surrendered.
The British artillery and machine
guns poured a deluge of steel about

French Are Meeting Fresh Attacks
On Northern End of Battle Line

OTTAWA, April 18.-The French are
heavily in action on the northern bat
tie area, says Reuter- dispatch from
London to-day.
For the British infantry cooperating
with the French in the northern battle
area Wednesday was "a strenuous day."
"The enemy apparently is drawing on
fresh reserves" says another Reuter-
dispatch received tonight. "In the
course of the great battle more than
thirty enemy divisions have SO far ap
peared, and it is certain the German
command is exploiting every success
by the most prodigal expediture of
man power and not counting the cost.
Halt Terrific Attacks
I'm the great German attack of yes
terday our troops fought with heroic
valor against tremendous numerical
odds. They are fighting in the same
irresistible manner in the battle be-
tween Givenchy forest and Nieppc
now progressing.
"For nearly week the German gains
in the battle of Flanders have been
limited to the smallest extent. 1t has
been terribly costly advance at GER
tain points. If the enemy measures
the extent Of his gains by the price
paid he certainly must be looking
gioomily at the bold contours from
Cassel to Mcssines, which he must take
If he would win.
"The attempts to break through the
Belgian front south of the Houtholst
forest was probably inspired by tho
discovery of our withdrawal from the
Passchendaele region and consequent
assumption that there must be some
discrimination at this part of the line.
'The attack has been repeated to-
day, the enemy doubtless being morti-
fed at being defeated by about half his
own number.
Tanks No Longer Used
Apparently the tanks, armored cars
and cavalry have not been in action on
either side. We are now down to a
sheer contest for man power-a sway
ing, ceaseless attack and repulse, with
the vital issue carried in the anxious
problem of whether our powers of en-
durancc can wear down the repeated
bull rushes Of vastly superior num-
bers before a decision is reached.

One party of two hundred Germans
advanced at one time with hands
over their heads to surrender. For
some reason they changed their
minds abruptly and fled. They
were shot to pieces as they ran.
Cut Up by Infantry
There was also hard fighting
about Pacaut Wood, near the canal,
and between Robecq and St. We
nant, where the Germans hoped to
improve their positions in order to
facilitate operations to the north
and south. The attacks in this re-
gion were repulsed completely. A
concentration of enemy infantry in
Calonne, east of St. Venant, was
caught in the British artillery bar
rage and badly cut up.
British troops in the neighbor-
hood of Wytschaete this morning
we're continuing their all-night bat
tie with the Germans. A German
attack yesterday resulted in push

place, but subsequent British
counter-attack again drew the Brit

at one time a small body of British
infantry penetrated to the south
eastern section.

The British lost very small
piece of territory between Bailleul
and Dranoutre yesterday, but the
German attack here must be record
ed as a failure. Further westward
had fighting continued about Meter

ly was No Mons Land. A heavy

The DEGREES were adopted at 4

constituent members. The closing
hours of the session were full of ex-
citing scenes, including the attempt on
the life of NJ. Tseretelli.
NJ. T%chernoff, elected chairman of
the constituent assembly by the So
cial Revolutionists, declared that the
Constituent Assembly should immedi-
ately call a conference of all the En-
tente allies to consider war aims.
NJ. Tchernoff granted an interview
to a correspondent during the mid
night recess.
D you think Russia can continue
the war if Germany refuses peace on
democratic terms?" NJ. Tchernoff
was asked. He replied:
Everybody says that Russia can
not fight because of the extreme state
of Reorganization. All know that the
decision in this wal will be on the
western front.
But Russia can act as a magnet
to draw German forces and prevent
their being thrown over to the western
front. The Russian army may re-
treat, but in doing so, will benefit
the allies by diverting the Germans
deeper and deeper into Russian terri
tory, with no gain for them"
