an denied any knowledge of the

Yesterdays news from the
front is to the effect that Ger
many is trying an offensive on a
small scale covering a five mile
front southeast of Ypres, and
they have met with some sue
cess by penetrating front line
trenches, but over the greater
part of the field of combat they
were repulsed.
AS usual the enemy began
the attack after a heavy pre-
liminary bombardment. The
groun9s gained is south of
Dickebusch lake and in Ridge
wood, around which place hard
fighting was continued at last
accounts. The objective of the
enemy seemed to be the pushing
toward of his line in this region
to still further outflank Ypres
on the southwest and press on
towards Poeperinghe and the
railway line running between
the town and Ypres.
Artillery duels continue on
the remainder of the lines on
the Flanders front.
General Haig says that by
successful local operations the
French troops advanced their
lines during the night south of
LaClytte and captured a num-
Der of prisoners. On the re-
mainder of the British front
there is nothing of especial in
terst at this time.
More than half a million
American soldiers are now in
France, according to a state
ment made by Secretary Baker.
The statement that mis- forecast
to Congress in January that
100000 soldiers of the United
states army would be in France
early in the present year now
has been surpassed.
