THE WAR SUMMARIZED Although the great German thrust launched last week against the Drit ish lines from Givenchy to Ypres has bent back the British front badly in this entire area the offensive here stands checked today and in immi nent danger of utter failure so far as larger results aimed at are concerned. field Marshal Haig's troop yes terday had to meet one of the sever est tests yet put upon them in with standing a German effort to broaden out the salient created before the early impetus of the German drive in the Lys battlefield was spent. They came through the ordeal with colrrs flying and completely stopped the German onrush. From Givenchy to St. Venant, an eleven mile sector on the southerly side of the salient, German troops were hurled in masseson the Uritish positions in an effort to break through to the southwest behind lie thune'and compel the British to fall back from Givenchy and along the front southward toward Vimy ride and Arras. The defensive line held firm de spite repeated desperate assaults which cost the Germans enormous losses and last night the battle had died down to an artillery duel. Corre spondents at the front declare the British front is now more secure than it has been for days. Further efforts probably of an equally determined nature may be ex pected from the Germans who are in too exposed a position from enfilad ing gunfire in their narrow salient to rest comfortably where they are. Indeed they resumed their attacks Buy Umbrellas lOQ ' -&k If r b - i&amwwmw i Vi 9 1'"" 'f1 " 5J:- B I H t"tr.''-''' wmmmm won't curl.
