FATE OF CALAIS IN BALANCE
LONDON, April 28. The official
statements concerning the fighting In
to rletnlty of Ypres are contradic
tory. It would appear that tbe Ger
man offensive north of that .city
which resulted In the recent gain
of nearly three miles, nas reached Its
limit, and that, although the Ger
mane hold most of the ground they
rained the question now is whether
they have sufficiently consolidated
tbe line to retain It."
The rush ever, the British troop ere

art striking toward St. Jul'an, whlrh the
Germans captor''., while lh Frvnch. on
