again today were filled wtih swirling
masses of fiercely battling troops as
the result of a new drive launched by
the enemy between Armentieres and
Messines this morning.
For hours the German hordes have
been flinging themselves viciously
against the defending lines, and by
sheer weight of numbers forced their
way forward at several points into
the British position. .
Messines, Ploegsteert and Nineppe
all had come within the zone of the
bitter fighting during the forenoon,
but; with the attacks and counter at
tacks in progress the situation was
changing so rapidly that it was im
possible to say at the time of the
filing of this dispatch (2 p. m. Wednes
day) which way the tide of conflict
was flowing.
ARMENTIERES IN SALIENT.
Today's push north of Armentieres
was a continuation of the new phase
of the great offensive which boiled up
yesterday between Givenchy and Ar
mentieres when the enemy surged
forward suddenly with fresh troops
and made a considerable dent in the
defending line.
If the enemy attack on today should
succeed Armentieres would. He in a

Regulation of Woolen
.; - Goods Prices Planned
Washington, April 11. Suggestions
that the government either take over
for distribution or fix prices on all
cotton and woolen goods were dis
cussed at President Wilson's weekly
conference today with the heads of
government war making agencies.
Heavy demands of the arnry and
navy, it', was said, will take such a
large percentage of the output of mills
that there probably will not be" enough
goods to supply all the requirements
..of the civilan population. Officials fear
that if some measures are not taken
to hold prices down and to assure
equitable distribution many persons
will be unable to obtain a proper
amount of clothing.
