A LLIEH TRYING CAPTURE
BELGIAN NORTH COAST
London, Aug. 9.—The offensive
launched this morning by General i
Sir Douglas Haig, the British coni-1
mander, in conjunction with General
Petain, the commander of the French I
forces, against the German lines on 1
the Belgian front, is the culmination ;
of the tremendous heavy gun bom-j
bardment which has been in progress I
almost continuously in this area for
a week. The Intensity of the artillery j
drum tire which the entente allies j
had been demolishing the Teuton
trenches preparatory to today’s as
sault has been described by the Ger
man general staff as the greatest in
history of warfare, even surpassing
the terrific fire maintained at the be
ginning of the Somme and Arras of
fenses. Military observers have attri
buted two objectives for the entent
offensive—the capture of the Belgian
North Sea coast, which has been us
ed by the Germans as liases of their
submarines, and to assist the hard
pressed Russians of the Galician
front. The battle north of the river
Lys stretches from VVarneton, on the
Franco-Belgian border, to the North
Sea coast, the distance between these
two points being about thirty miles.
Included in this battle area is the
famous Wytscheate-Messines front,
where the British on June 7, after
exploding one million pounds of high
explosives under the German lines,
attacked on a nine-mile front and
captured the high ridge, several
towns, forty-seven heavy guns and
more than 7,000 prisoners.
