fronts that has swept forward ta

junction with the French, attack-
ed German positions along a wide
front.at 3.50 this morning north
of the river Lys, while on the
Aisne the French also drove for-
ward. The offensive is the cul=
mination of the tremendously
heavy bombardment which Has
been in progress continuously for

Kntente offensive are the capture
of the Belgian North Sea coast,
which has been a base for sub-

pressed Russians, ‘

London:. The resumption of
the Allied drive in Flanders is
awaiting a hot sun. Movements
of masses are impossible jin the
seemingly bottomless mud. The
transfer of artillery nearer the
advanced line for future bayrage
fire could not be. accomplished
over the ooze. Until some of the

mud of the thirty-six hours’ solid

rain dries up the drive will be
apparently halted. In the mean-
time, however, the Allies are
withstanding fierce counter-at-
tacks ° delivered by the Germans
despite the morass of no-man’s-
land, The Diisoners taken in
the British Flanders drive are a
sorry lot..few having the hope
that Germany can win the war,
