Germans Press on in Flanders Front Amid British Resistance
British lines north of Bethune and along the Flanders front report stout German bombardment and growing artillery density. German offensives aim to push toward the Lys river and Bethune railhead, with Americans now in the northern sector. British counterattacks near La Bassee and Aveluy wood yielded some prisoners, as gas shells were fired in the forest sector.
