War SUMMARY

The great double German drive In
the Somme and Armentierea sectors.
which began Wednesday morning. has
developed into a terrific struggle. The
tide OF battle has surged to and fro
during the last two days. with the de-
cision still III the balance. The
British having been forced back out
OF Villers- -Bretonneux. launched IA
counter attack and swept the Germans
back almost to the lines which were
held before the present fighting began.
The French have been driven back out
OF Hanghrd- En- -Santerre. but are hold
Ing their positions close by. while on
the line southwest OF Ypres the British
have been compelled To withdraw
slightly before furious attacks along
the Meteren- BaillcuI- Wytschaetc line.
Wounded Americans are arriv-
ING at . hospital behind the French
lines in the 0orns sector, showing
that General Psrshinp's mon are
bearing their share Of tho burden
Of the great battle.
Notwithstanding the frantic prcpar-
atlons made by the Germans for q con
tinuhnce Of their drive toward Amiens
and the extreme violence OF the fight
Ing. their gains thus far in that region
have been very small. Along the line
from Albert south to Castel except at
Hangard En- Santerre the German as
sauits have been turned back by the
allied forces. which are strongly post -
ed on the higher ground to which they
retired during the last days of the Ger
man drive In PiCardy.
Heavy Force in Attack.
II ig unofficia!ly reported that four
| to six German divisions, or from $4,000
| to 1900 men have been hurled at tho
British and French lines near Ypres
The retirement OF the British in this
| sector must have been small. for there
| are no great gains reported by Beriir
| 80 far II was rumored Thursday that
! Mont KENNEL, a dominating height
| north Of Wulverghem. had been taken
| by the enemy. but this has not been
| confirmed.
THAT only slight gains have beer
made anywhere along the two fronts
which have been subjected to attack IL

three weeks the Germans have hurried

divisions to the points where they hav,
