and French forces attacked 1T dawn this
morning on n wide front in Flanders.

OF the three nations went over the top

There was no preliminary lombard

priscd the enemy.
In the British formation were some
of Great Rritain's best troops, and the
forces of the French were of the famous
lighting organizations The Germans
are perhaps prepared to retire to the
Client line.
BY the fury with which the attack
was launched it is evident that the
fighting arnAies are not paying the
slightest attention TO the peace talk
They smashed forward with all tho dash
