enemy.
Coincidentally with this pretentious
assault, the Germans surged forward
further north and again began ham
mering at the approaches of KENNEL
and the neighboring high ground.
Reinforced by French troops, the al
lied line is holding hard against fur
ther incursions by the Germans from
the region of La Bassee to the north
of Ypres. Everywhere the Germans
have struck the line in an endeavor
to press back the defenders they have
been repulsed with heavy losses. and
have succeeded nowhere in gaining
further ground.
Attacks of an extraordinary violent.
nature are being thrown by the Ger
mans on the ten-mile front between
Givenchy and Robecq, where an en-
deavor is being made to cross the La
Bassee canal and bend southwark the
salient which now outflanks the inn

Germans would jeopardize the entire

where the Canadians are holding
forth.
Following the usual custom prior to
the launching of an attack, the Ger
mans thruout Wednesday night liter
ally rained shells of all calibers be-
tween Givenchy and Robecq, the firing
by daybreak having reached the In
tensity Of drumfire. Large quantities
of gas shells were intermingled with
the high-powered missiles.
During Thursday, midway between
Bailleul and Ypres, the Germans Wig
orously attacked the British positions
south of KENNEL, which the British
had recaptured from them Wednes-
day, but were unable to gain any ad-
vantage in the face of the strong de-
fense.
Considerable fighting has developed
along the front in northern Flanders
between Langemarck and Kippe, held
by the Belgians.
East of Amiens, along the Avre riv-
er, the French have made successful
attacks against the Germans on sew
eral sectors, capturing the greater
part of the Senecat wood and also ad-
vancing their line east and west of the

their behavior is admirably In their
relations with the British and French
they are cordially sympathetic.
He said zone rarely meets an
American soldier in France who
doesn't smile and wave his hat. The
only sad Americans there are those
who fear they may have to come
home before the job is done. The
big thing for America to do is to
support the war, financially and with
