New Allied Actions Mark Three Desperate Battles
The article outlines three major Allied efforts in spring against German lines in France and Belgium. It notes heavy losses at Neuve Chapelle, a British advance capturing Hill No. 60 southeast of Ypres, and subsequent German counter offensives near Ypres with gas bombs and reinforced fronts. Canadian troops are praised for valor, while German and British reports claim fluctuating gains and retreats. The piece mentions ongoing German naval activity and questions about Italy’s armistice talks, with little solid progress toward a decisive outcome.

Canadians Counter Attack in Ypres Front Advances
In the Flanders battle the German assault continues with undiminished fury as Allied lines around Ypres hold. Canadians holding British sections counterattack and reclaim ground, while French and Belgian forces retreat across a canal but recover. News from Dunkirk and Calais tantalizes but remains secondary to the broader, ongoing struggle beyond the English Channel.
