Fresh Gains by Entente in Flanders
The German reply to the papal peace note is released showing appreciation for the pope's peace idea and a pledge to support proposals compatible with German interests. It notes leaders were consulted in drafting the answer, but contains no definite peace terms. News from Flanders reports Haig holding ground after Thursday's great assault, with repeated German counterattacks repelled and British artillery supporting defense. The Ostend naval attack yielded three German seaplanes shot down, and Russian front movements around Riga-Dvinsk suggest possible line rectification.
