WITH THY BRITISH ARMIPS IN WRANCHE, April 14 (United Press).— Despite the mort desperate efforts to progress toward their first goal, the rmans apparently are stalled. \Hagebrouck, Bailleul, Aire, Lillerg and Bethune are still in possession of the British. The German blows aro growing “more feeble, while the Allied resit ‘tance is strengthening. The battle has slowed down, similar Ito the Picardy drive after the first week. Though the first phase seem- ingly has ended, the fighting contin- jues and undoubtedly will not cease for some time. But another critical per- og has been put behind the Allies, who are awaiting further onslaughts, }undismayed. Part of von Arnim’s Fourth Army and practically all of von Quast's ‘Sixth Army, comprising more than lewenty divisions (240,000 men) have been checked. | The British were the first to ad- mit the seriousness of the German J) assault, but scattered over the hun- dyed square miles of the Lys battle- field, the German dead reveal the price. \ Dead men and horses and smashed transport litter the approaches to| Bethune, St. Venant, Merville, | | Bailleul and Neuve-Eglise, as proof | of the prowess of the British artillery, | machine guns and low-flying airs | planes, | Bridges have been smashed almost as fast as the German engineers could rebuild them, Paved and macadamized roads are so phell- pitted, prisoners say, as to render the difficulties in bringing up guns and ammunition almost insuperable, The enemy troops are subsisting on “iron rations’—in the American army this consists of bacon, bardtack and coffee—kitchen arts having been unable to follow them for two days. Von Stattin's divisions, after a stiff struggle Sunday, won a few hundred yards in the region of ‘Meteren, Von Eberhardt’s storm stroops broke down, under hot Briti#h fire west of Nouve+ Eglise after a slight advance, Von Kraswel's attempt to retake positions north of Festubert failed with heavy losses, Northeast of Robecq the Brit- Ish recaptured a position on tho Clarence River, The battle has thus been reduced | to @ patoby struggle.
