WAR SUMMARY.

They did apt pass! Simultaneous assaults by Von Hindenburg’e massed legions from north to southwest of Ypres on a IS-mile front have smashed against 4 solid wall of allied flesh and blood —and rolled back shattered. Latest official dispatches from allied headquarter* describe the German losses as severe and the British line as intact. Where the enemy succeeded in pentrating positions held by the French, they were almost immediately hurled out by counter attacks. Equal lack of success attended German efforts to advance on the Belgian front. Before Amiens, where American troops are holding an important sector, only artillery activity is reported. Germany’s latest claim in the Flanders fighting is that 7,100 prisoners have been taken since the storming of Mount Kemmel.
