The report also states that the
British have been succe-ssful in min

while a British aviator successfully
attacked the German airship shed at
Ghent.
The report follows:
"German attacks on Hill No. 60,
west of Zwartelen. which had stopped

Monday last, have since been renewed
several times.
"These attacks have all failed and
have now ceased for the time being
We hold the entire crest of the hill

attach great importance to it. There
was never any truth in the state

captured the position.
'"During the course of operations
the enemy tired shells of 17-lnch di

the neighborhood of La Bassee the
enemy exploded two mines opposite
our right. They failed to do any
damage.
"Our aviators having discovered

"We exploded there on the morning

French Steadily Cut
Into German Wedge
By FRANKLIN P. MERRICK.
'Special Correspondent International
News Service.)
PARIS, April 23.—Bit by bit the
French attacks are cutting Into the
German wedge at St. Mihiel. The
capture of two lines of trenches In
the forest of Apremont, which des
south of the German salient, Is re
garded here as most Important. If
these French can recapture tile
northern part of the forest, which was
taken by the Germans early In the
war, they will render untenable the
positions of the Kaiser's troops and
straighten out their line.
Fresh attacks by the French troops
in the forest of Ailly, south of St.
Mihiel, have resulted In the capture of
700 yards of German trenches, the War
OfTice announced this afternoon.
After Issuing a statement in the
forenoon that there was nothing to re
port, it gave out a communique this
afternoon telling of these new French
gains.
It admitted that in the Yser region
the French troops were driven back
by Germans using a large number of
asphyxiating bombs, but stated that
in a counter attack the French regain
ed their lost ground.
The text of the communique follows:
"List evening there were very
sharp engagements in Belgium. At the
bend of the Yser, to the north of Dix-
mude, Belgian troops repulsed an at
tack directed upon Chateau de Vlc-
ogne and inflicted heavy losses upon
the enemy.
"To the north of Ypres, the Ger
mans employing a great quantity of
asphyxiating bombs, the effect of
which was felt as far as two kilo
meters (more than a mile) in the rear
of our lines, forced us to fall back in
the direction of the Yser canal toward
the west and in the direction of Ypres
toward the south.
"The enemy's attack was checked. A
vigorous counter attnck permitted us
to regain the ground, taking a nufnber
of prisoners.
"In the forest of Ailly, near St. Mi
hiel, by an attack to the east and to
the west of the positions previously
captured by us, we took 700 yards of
trenches and captured 100 prisoners,
of whom three were officers."
The battle of the cliffs In Alsace Is
proceeding without cessation. This
campaign on the crests and In the I
valleys of the Vosges is waged under |
difficult conditions. It may drag ,
along for several weeks before a de
cisive result Is attained, but the |
French claim gains on both banks of
the Fecht River.

(Special Correspondent International

PKTROGRAD, April 23.—Weather
conditions In the Carpathians have
now improved to such an extent that
the Russians have been enabled to
resume their offensive against the
Austro-German positions at ITszok
Pass. The flooded rivers are subsid
ing and the Russians are making for
ward progress with their heavy ar
tillery.
Large Teutonic reinforcements have
arrived at Uszok and west and east of
the pass they are making frequent at
tacks agaiTiHt the Russians without,
however, forcing the Tzar's soldiers
to relinquish the positions they have
captured.
The Austro-German offensive from
the Dunajec has apparently been
completely checked, official reports
to the War Office state that the Rus
sians are pressing the enemy back
from Gorlice with heavy losses.
