The battle of Flanders, which began on April 0th, still

continues to rage fiercely. Our withdrawal from Armentieres on April 10th enabled the enemy's Sixth and Fourth Armies to join hands and enlarge their new salient, On Thursday week the enemy attacked on the whole front. He was firmly held on the south by the Slat Division, pivoting on Givenchy. To the west he advanced along the Lys through Estaires to lilerville. On the north he compelled us to withdraw from Ploegsteert Wood, but he failed to make any progress on the ridge between Messincs and Hollebeke.
