The attack was made on a settle hitherto unknown during this war of major offensives, Field Marshal Haig's report from British. headquarters in France de scribes the German offensive as com- prising an intense bombardment by the artillery and a; powerful infantry attack -on a front of over 50 miles. Some of the British • positions were penetrated, but the German losses are declared to .have been exceptionally heavy. On no pant of the long front of the attack did. the Germans attain their objective. A despatch from British Army Headquarters in France says: The Germans on Thursday launched , a heavy attack against the British fines "over a wide front in and near the Gambrel, sector, and the assault bears, all the ear -manes of being the be .ginning of the enemy's much -heralded grand offensive,4Hard fighting is.proceeding'from 'a point north of Lagnicourt sbuthward to Gauche Wood, just below Gouzeau-` court, The attack was preceded by a heavy bombardment from guns of all. calilares,'and the duel between the op- posing heavy' batteries has been rock- ing the countryside for hours. - The Germans have ,employed gas shells freely, and a constant stream of high velocity shells has been breaking, with frightful concussion far back of the British lines.

URGE THE ,FARMERS TO GROW, I+LAX CROPS. A despatch from Toronto says; The defection of Russia deprives the allies of and gives to the Germans the larg- est flax -producing area in the world. In consequence there will be a tre- mendous demand' by the allies for flax, which is used extensively in the manu- facture of airplanes and other in- struments. of war, and the Provincial, and Federal Departments of Agricul- ture are now discussing plans to en- courage the production of flax in this province. The Canadian Flax -Grow- ers' Association recently called the attention of the authorities to the need for flax production,' They claim that flax does not exhaust the soil to so great an extent as barley or wheat, that profits are assured irrespective of weather conditions, that when flax has been pulled the land is in excellent condition for the cultivation of fall wheat, and that flax production on old sod land kills the destructive wire worm.

A despatch lions Washington says: -Seeset figures of the British Ad- miralty on submarine losses and world shipbuilding were made public here on,. Thursday by the British Embassy. They show that from both enemy action and marine risk on January 1, 1918, allied and neutral shopping had lost since the war began 11,827,572 gross tons, while shipyards outside of the Central Powers were turning out 6,606,275 tons. These figures, long withheld, are now made public, an Admiralty me- morandum says, because they will not stimulate the enemy and because they will impress upon the people the necessity of, United action in malting good losses by submarines. With them goes an appeal to British builders' to speed • up their efforts by bringing more men and women to work on the task, and -warning that the recent 'fall- ing off in British production must not continue. \ C ffes! 1 M$r+ .tt_ES 100. 0 m ESSEN • DVSSELDo.".F ceL06N6. epoNSI 1 4ca1-BLE6z • Atr:z 4 , • TREvESm5➢' )ortiol`i0/11--LE6 SAAP-15RUK A • MA,NNHet'4 eME'fZ 4 .K.ARLSRUtiE \, ,g{MetioRF 2 1 •BA,bsr� • orFat,, UYtG . rsatrteuRG Scene of British.
