Bloodiest battle of months in Belgium near Ypres
Reports from London and Paris describe the fiercest fighting of the war as German forces attempt to seize Hill Sixty near Ypres. British counterattacks are costly, with thousands dead or wounded on both sides. The British BEF has expanded to about 750,000 men, and Lloyd George defends manpower and munition needs while promising curbs on liquor to aid war production. The note from Washington rebukes German claims on U S neutrality and reiterates no embargo on arms while preserving neutral rights.
