It was the biggest operation in which Americans had taken part and was marked' by terrific artillery fire. The Germans were everywhere outfought. The action' lasted two hours and was prefaced and followed by the heaviest artillery exchanges in which American artillery had yet taken part. The Americans In the front trenches fought with the utmost gallantry and refused to yield a single foot of ground. The attack was delivered early in the morning, under cover of a heavy bar rage fire, and the Germans were fa vored by a thick mist which hampered observation. ' ....

The cost of the new building is estimated at 10,000. The proposed mill will be. merely an addition to the present .Crown plant. but will . be devoted to milling wheat substitutes so that the wheat flour ca pacity of the mills will not be hampered as they have been by the demands for grinding the - fall harvests of barley. rye, etc Plans as prepared by C.

The company off! cials are now debating upon plans for machine installations and pending the selection of the most modern equipment that can be found details of plans will not. te puDiisnea. immediately upon selection of the mechanical equipment for the mill construction work will be rushed and the plans therefor revised in any minor detail necessary. Operation of the mill will not be started until sometime early next fall. it is not expected to be completed untn the first of the harvests for the present year- come in.

"We have withdrawn from Armen tieres. which Is full of gas." said Halg. "The battle Is continuing on the whole front from the Lm. Bas ses canal to ' the Ypres-Comines canal. There Is severe fighting in the neighborhood of the Lys and Lawe rivers, from about Lestrem to Armentieres. "North of Armentieres there is little change. In- the neighborhood of Ploegsteert. Messines and Wytschaete there was heavy fighting until a late hour last night." In his night report to the British war offlce, Field Marshal Haig said that heavy fighting developed all along the line. ""North of Armentieres the weight of the enemy's assaults pressed the British troops back. to a line run ning through Wytschaete, the crest of the famous Messines ridge, and Ploegsteert," Field Marshal Halg stated. "German Infantry forced their way into Messines, but were driven out by a counter attack. South of Armentieres the Germans, after a prolonged struggle, established them selves on the north bank of the Lys river at certain points east of i-staires and In the neighborhood of Bsc St. -Msur. "The Germans crossed the Lawe river at Lestrem, but later were driven from the . village and back across the stream. "Between Kstalres and Glvenchy the British positions were all main tained. (All of the towns and villages mentioned by Haig are near the Franco-Belgian frontier. Messines Is seven miles north of Armentieres. Wytschaete is Ave miles south of Ypres. The Messines ridge lies be tween Wytschaete and the town of Messines. Ploegsteert is three miles ncrth of Armentieres. Estaires is seven miles southwest of Armen tieres, and Bac St. Maur is tour miles southwest of Armen'.icres.) Simms' dispatch shows that the British, after evacuating Ar- r menticres officially announced by Haig retired at least four' and a half mles northwestward. Their counter attack threw the' Germans back a portion of this distance. La Creche is four miles and a half northwest of Armentieres, on the Bailleul-Armentieres highway. Steenwerck is tlie same distance from Armentieres and a mile and a half soutjh of La' Creche. Nieppe is midway between La Creche and Arnlentieres, on .the Bailleul-Armentieres highway. Messines is four miles ' due north, of Armentieres, and Wytschaete is two miles north of Messines. Ploegsteert is midway between Messines andi tieres. Afmen-. ONDOX, April 11. (U. P.) Crown Prince Ruppreeht was , I t continuing his northern offensive today on the entire? 20 mile front from the La Bassee canal to the Ypres-Comines canal. In making this announcement, Field Marshal Haig reported -there was particularly severe fighting along the Lawe and Lys rivers, from Lestrem to Armentieres. Lestrem is on the Lawe, about a mile south of its confluence with the Lys, and is nine . -miles southwest of Armjntieres. " ; j The drive on this front has become, within. the Jast two days, equal in importance to the original offensive farther to the southii which began on the 50 mile front from Arras. to La Fefe. The particular objective of this new offensive is now. believed to be the splitting of the British line along the Lys river, with the rolling back of the northern portion of Haig's forces on the North sea (Coorlivtol wm faa Two.
