GERMANS STRIKE WESTWARD
AFTER CAPTURE OF BAILLEUL
Trying to Push on to Hazebrouck, the
Railway Centre Eight and
Half Miles Away.
WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
FRANCE. April 16 (Associaied
Press) .-Bailleul. eight and a half
miles east Of Hazebrouck, in Flan-
ders, was captured and occupied by
the Germans last evening when the
enemy also seized Le Revetsberg
Ridge. east Of the town. As result
the British pulled their lines back
northward somewhat to positions
running east and west little above
Bailleul and Je Revetsberg.
Fighting is continuing in this sec
tor, with the Germans trying to push
westward toward the railway centre
OF Hazebrouck.
The loss OF Ballieul was not unex-
pecte.L for It's strategical value could
not compensate for the lives It would
cost 20 retain II in the face OF the
terrible onslaughts tho Germans
would be able to bring TO bear
against II.
Last nights attack was preceded
by a very heavy bombardment from
German guns OF all calibres. After
this intense preparation the enemy
nung into the line the Alpine Corps.
the 117th German Division and the
Eleventh Ba' 1rian Division, and bore
down on the defending positions
along the front from Mount de Lille
high ground just southeast OF Bail
ieul--to Cruclhx Corner. an elevation
on the Bailleul- -Neuve Eglise high
way, about 1000 yards west OF the
latter place.
Desperate fighting ensued. but tho
battle-weary defenders, despite their
gallant resistance, were unable TO
withstand the shock from overwhelm-
Ing numbers OF fresh troops. Slowly
the British line fell back, but I'M
broken and in good order. until they
reached their present positions. where
they held.
About the time the Germans surged
forward against Bailleul they also
attempted TO advance by two attacks
southwest Of Bailleul Just opposite
the northeast corner OF the forest Of
Nieppe. These drives were preceded
by heavy mine-thrower preparations.
One attack was driven back by ar
ullery fire before the opposing in
nntry came TO close quarters, but
the others materiallzed.
The Germans hurled thmeselves
against the British furiously. but
without avail, for the line held and
the attacking troops were forced to
fam back.
The attack in the Bailleul sector
had been boiling all day and had
been expected TO break at any mo-
ment. The Germans continued to
pour northwestward along the roads
leading to Estaires and again the
British Flying Corps did great work.
The intrepid flyers kept up an un-
ceasing machine-gun and bombing
warfare against the enemy transport
and troops, flying at a very low
altitude.

GERMANS EXPECTED TO HOLD
AMERICAN TRENCHES.

The prisoners captured by the
Americans were mostly men under
twenty years OF age. They carried
two days rations and intrenching
tools, and said they expected to oo-
cupy tho American front line posi-
tions. Most of them complained
about the German food, The bread
which they carried was almost black
and they eagerly devoured tho white
bread offered by their captors.
The prisoners said the attack was
made by picked men OF four
companies, two from the 272d Regi-
ment. regular reserves; one OF
shock troops and one OF pioneers.
Some wore belts with n large buckle
bearing tho inscription "Gott Nit
Uns." Several carried long trench
knives resembling daggers.
A large percentage OF tho American
troops participating in this engage
ment were sons OF foreign born par
ents, some OF them being only leven-
teen or eighteen years old. They are,
however. hardened to trench warfare
and absolutely fearless. There is
nothing tboy like better than n chance
