Ho Statement of Xesolta, Zs Made
as Battle Has Hot Tet Ended.
London, May 21. (I. N. S.) The
mightiest counter dtive attempted by
the crown prince this year was stifled
in its Inception Sunday by a volcano
of French shell fire. It was to be a
powerful massed attack prepared by
drum fire of trcavy shells and asphyx
iating projectiles on a front of 10
mites. The storming columns were not
able to leave the trenches. In Isolated
sectors Teuton waves swept on, defy
ing the French barrage. The net result
was the gain of a footing In French
advanced elements of 200 meters.
Like a young typhoon, the British
artillery blustered into action shortly
after midnight. By the time dawn
ushered in the sixth Sunday of the
battle of . Arras, Halg's big guns
preached a thunderous, deadly ser
mon to the foes.
The latter, as If sensing the de
cision near, ranted and foamed back
through hundreds of mouthpieces of
f lre-belchlng cannon.
British Hake Fleroe Attack.
The morning was still young when
the British leaped across the parapets
and dashed forward In fierce on
slaughts against the last bastion of
the line that bears the name of
Wotan, "god of death."
All through the day raged the fifth
great battle for the Teuton auxillary
posltlon stretching due north to soutr.
from Drocourt to Queant. From the
hamlet of Acheville down to, the
region of Queant the British guns had
honeycombed the Teuton position.
From both wings and in the center
the infantry stormed forth to pierc-j
them.

No Announcement By Kalff.
Sir Douglas Halg, following his
custom of not reporting infantry bat
tles until they are ended, makes no
reference to the new British assaults.
Saturday evening the British at
tacked vigorously around Monchy, th
head of their wedge southeast of
Arras. The German war office as
serts these attacks failed.
Sir Douglas, on the other hand.
told Sunday of the shattering of :i
German attack southeast of Epehey,
northwest of St. Quentin.
In the western Champagne, where
the Teutons face the French, the big
guns have begun to boom again at al
most maximum "lung" power.
Berlin announced that the crown
prince's troops held their gains south
of Leon, near Bray, against a strong
French attack.
General Petain reported the repulse
of. several Teuton - assaults and a local
French gain to the southeast of Moulin

east of Gorlzla and pushed on further
on the strategically important hill No.
652.
Austro - Hungarian troops were
thrown into the counter attacks in
dense masses, Rome reports, but failed
to recuperate any of the lost ground.
General Cadoma's troops added to
their capture both in prisoners and
war material.
The Petrograd war office announced
Sunday the repulse by the Russians of
two German attempts at an offen
sive. One was made on the northern
end of the eastern battle line near
the village of Kalnzem, below Riga.
and the other on the Roumanian thea

both cases the Russian artillery fire
broke up the German advancing col
umns before they could actually de
