Capture of Xcuvc-Kgli.se is of minor impor tance, as tlie city has been fought over and has changed hands so many times its defensive value is nil. Tlie 'fact the Germans have been hcW on all other parts of the Flanders front and the British have been able to improve their posi tions by counter-attacks indicate I dwindling in the force of enemy I nssaults. ,TU i Hindonburg has fuilcd to attains - his ambitious strategic arid geographical objectives. He has been unable to split Haig's armies and has captured none of the im portant citic3 for which he was driving Hazcbrouck, Dailleul, Aire, Lillers and Gcthunc. The Germans nre continuing their attacks against Apremont forest, east of St. Mihiel. in, the Toul sector, untl have attdmrftcd to storm Franco-American positions north of St. Mihiel on the right bank of the Meuse. AMSTERDAM, April 15. "The full strategic plan has not been accomplished," declares the Frankfurter Zeitung. "The battle apparently does not produced the desired result,' London, April 15, The Germans have been driven back with heavy losses in violent lighting northwest of Merville, Mar shal Haig reported today, announc ing also that he had yielded Neuve; Eglisc, a battle storm center which no longer has defensive or strategic value. (Merville is an important railway center, taken by the Germans last week, a few miles southwest of Ar mentieres and west of Lille. Kcuve 1 Eglise lies between four and five miles north of Armentiercs and the same distance east of Bailleul. It is in Belgium near tho French frontier. The Germans have been de livering hard blows in the Neuve Eglise sector in an effort to outflank the British positions on the high ground of Messines Ridge. The vil lage has changed hands several times.) Violent fighting is continuing along portions of this line, but, uc cording to dispatches from the British front, the Geman attack are btcoming more feeble, while the British resistance is strengthening. This is borne out by General Haig's ofllcial report, in which says that seven successive enemy attacks northwest of Merville (in the fringe of the Nicppe forestj broke down. One of thesa ottacsi . consisted of five waves of infsntrj. t Tne Cnemy, It IS belteVCtl, ! continue to drive at Bailleul, on,'tf northern edge of the Flaniira i salient; at St. Venant, in the cMsJ, and al Bcthunc. on the soutSttftA .., a ., - tu'e' l"r le" a'B But the heaviest assaults urn s ii pected to be switched against Tiwf itself or southward against Vijr and Arras.
