Summary by Associated Pros
The loss of KemmeM Hill has
dcntly failed to discourage the atlled
resistance on the Ypres region.
Tbe allied line haa atltoned and
held tho enemy everywhere, and no
gains at any point have been made by
be Germans since yesterday morning.
Military observers have generally
forecasted the eventual abandonment
of the Ypres salient as n result el tho
loss of Kemmel HilL
Should this become necessary tho
lom of Kemmel has not destroyed tho
dcfonblve value of a string of hUia to
the westward, which are the backbooV
of tho Handera position. Meanwhile
the cost in men to the Germans to win
the mere tactical advantage' has boon
enormous.
On the Somme battle front tho allies
have been even more successful. The
Gernuin position near Haagard la very
precarious. Their forces have bean
diivcn already from a portion of tho
village. 4,
