Anglo-Preach advance in Belgium eyes second phase drive
Weather improves as Anglo-Preach forces prepare a second phase against German positions near Ypres. About 6000 prisoners, including 100 officers, are reported after the first forty eight hours of fighting north and south of Ypres. German counterattacks in St Julien and Westhoek were only partly successful. Reports say German headquarters are shifting eastward. Clearer skies boost artillery and air activity. West Flanders fighting is seen as a prelude to Haig's large operations.
