Fnder cover of a ttomendous bom-bHi-dinent

tho Germans yesterday mailo it deter

The Ilritish olllclal. Issued lasl night,
says:
"Karly this morning the Herman dis
charged gas ngulnsi our line to the
northeast of Vpies, accompanied by a
lieivy bombindment. Kxcept at u few
places where they were driven back be
fore lln-y reached our line, the German
Infantry wus prevented from leaving their
trendies by our tire, our line everywhere
remained Intact.
"During Hie day Hie Herman artil
lery was unusually nrthe to Hie cast
of Ypies as also against our trendies
tn the west and south of Messllies. The
Hermans, early tills morning, blew up
two mines In fiont of our trendies east
of Armcnlleies. Their Infantty attempted
to occupy llio craters, but weie driven
off by our rllle lire."
Successful icsults fioin the operations
of the Ftench artillery aie announced
in today's var oltlce communique from
Paris, which, however, admits tli.it the
French Hoops had evacuated a position
on the north hank of tho Alsne after
