French Attack Near
British go Forward.
t (William Phillip Simms)
AT THE BRITISH FRONT, May 21 French troops,
attacking brilliantly near the Belgian border today re
took Lochre, Hospice, Brulogze, the entire wood south of
Brulogze, crossroads and several farms, advancing their
lines cast of Hill Fourty-four. They took 500 wounder
prisoners. French casualties were slight. i
The attack greatly improved the French positions
around. Mount Rouge and Mount Scerpenberg. The
French suddenly threw themselves on the Germans, on a
three mile front, with the result never doubtful.
British troops advanced their lines on a 600 yard front
between Avcluy wood and Rebutcrne, diminishing a sharp
dangerous salient and occupying four enemy posts.. A
hot counter attack was repulsed.

WASHINGTON. May 21. Amen
ca's first field army of approximately
20U.000 men has been formed In
France. It consists of two army
corps of three divisions each', with
Colonel BJornstad as chief of staff-
There are startling- revelations of gi
ant strides toward Franca made by
the army. It is disclosed today that
the American army In France wilt
equal the British facing the Germans
within two or three months, unless the
British are greatly ' reinforced mean
while. ' ": ' j'
American forces are likely to ap
proximate Haig's present - forces by
August 1. This is learned from au
thoritative circle here.
The brigading of Americans with
the British continues. Presumably
the national army men are the ones
brigaded. Tbe field army is formed
from seasoned troops which have been
in France for a long period.
