(BY ASSOCIATED PRESS) Seven days after the Germans had launched their gigantic assault against the British lines between Lens and Ypres, the momentum of their attack has been broken, and the waves of the | Teutonic forces are recoiling before the rock of the British defense. While the Germans have made gains of ground and have driven a wedge into the allied lines to a considerable depth, they seem to have failed in their atempt to break through or take important railroad junctions. During the last day there have been bitterly fought engagements at four | ¢ places, all on the northern side of the salient to the south of Ypres. Seven assaults against the British trenches at Merville, near the Apex of the triangular dent in the British line, have been hurled back by the British. Meuve Eglise, on the extreme southwestern spur of Messines ridge, has been taken by the Germans after a struggle which will go into history as one of the greatest of the past week, British Hold Well The British, however, have not re- tired far, and it is probable that they will at once organize a counter at? tack to force the Germans out of the town, which, if held, might be a “kick- ing off” point for an attack which might out flank and make untenable Messines ridge, the key to the British positions about Ypres. Bailleul and Wulverghem, between Neuve Eglise and Merville, also have been the scene of hard fighting, but except for Neuve Eglise, the northern side of the salient has stood firm. On the southern side of the salient, according to Berlin, fierce struggles have been fought. It has been the German plan of|2 campaign since March 21 when the great offensive started, to strike hard at some particular section, and if that blow was parried, to turn powerful attatks against some new point. This proceedure probably will be followed in the next few days by a new assault somewhere south of Arras, An attack north of Ypres is hardly possible, for the lowlands of Belgium are as yet too waterlogged to permit active opera- tions. An attack on Arras would entail the hurling of troops against Vimy Ridge, the labyrinth and other formid- able military works protecting that city. New Hun Attack Expected. It may be that the savage fighting reported at Hangard-En-Santerre, to the south of Albert and on the center of the line facing Amiens, may mark the begining of a new attempt to sweep westward toward Amiens. So far the fighting has brought the Ger- mans only losses in men and ground. Further south, near Montdidier, there has been intense artillery firing, but the Germans have not attempted in- fantry operations in this important sector. German troops have entered Hel- singfors, the Finnish capital. It was reported last week that the Russian warships which have been there had made their escape and had reached Kronstadt, the great Russian naval base. American. forces near Toul are standing firm. before heavy attacks by the Germans and have held their lines Intact in. spite of all the weight of men and metal the enemy has loosed against them. The Germans. have lost heavily. a The constant German attacks in this sector may have some bearing on the development of the German offen- sive campaign and much interest in the situation throughout the region held by General Pershing’s men is evi- denced by the allied leadérs.

The day was marked by numerous clashes between counsel for the gov- ernment and the defense. The next clash came when counsel for the government asked the court to excuse Isaac Swanson, a riveter em- ployed by the Chicago shipbuilding company, for the reason that he was slightly deaf ani lacked the necessary educational qualifications required by the staute. “Fitted to Pass on Issues” “I vigorously object to this man being excused” said Attorney Vander-, veer. ‘He is a workingman and pecul- iarly fited to pass on the issues whi will be presented in this trial. He can- | not be disqualified from jury service because he does not possess a fine ed- ucation. | ‘If the government is going to 0»- ject to every workingman, then we will object to every man offered be- longing to the money ¢ and we will never get a jury. This is simply a clas objection on the part of the gov- ernment. My clients will not get a fair! trial if. the government is going to} bar evérybody. as. jurors except as- trologers, astronomers and those with scientific educations.’ Judge Landis took the question un- der consideration and will give his de- cision tomorrow. Examine German, George Link, of Peru, Ill., another venireman, said his parents were Ger- man and thet he was opposed to this country entering the war until after war was declared, but said he now up: held the government's action. He was temporarily passed by the govern- ment. Just before court adjourned Attor- ney Vanderveer asked Judge Landis; for an order giving him permission to inspect all documents and letters tak- en from the defendant by the govern-| ment for use as evidence in the trial. | Attorney Vanderveer said: “Our witnesses have been followed, ‘Coincident with the report of the accep ince of the resignation of Count in, the Austor-Hungarian pre- mifér, comes a report of a sefious oMt: ibreak of the Czechs at Prague, which for many months has been reported to be seething with anti-pan-German- a: Bohemians, or at least the Czech ity in that country, objeet to the 1 of .a- German government Gs {hen bt the fine may be more than ess wit appeared.
