April 30.-(By the Associated Press)
The fourth German army heavily
attacked the Allied front in Flanders.
Prisoners captured have admitted that
the German intention is TO attempt to |
capture Ypres. Severe fighing is re-
ported in both the French and British |
areas. The attack extends over a front
of about Is miles.
British troops around Ypres several
times sent up IS. o. s." signals for
artillery support. The tremendous
German bombardments point to the
certainty of a German attempt to ad.

The Belgians on the Ypres front also
are reported to have been attacked.
General Assault Spurred.
The Germans have begun what SENS
to be a general assault on the British
hill positions on the KENNEL front

phase of the great drive in Flanders.
Apparently the crucial test of the Al

The preliminary bombardment, took

OF Bailleul, to Vormezeele, two miles
south of Ypres. Infantry attacks in
this area developed shortly afterwards
and the battle appears to have been
on in earnest when Field Marshal Sir
Douglas Haig's report was issued in
London.

TIE enemy has been striking with
great fury at Vormezeele the last

to drive in behind Ypres and break
