the great offensive opened on

LONDON Eng.. April 30. via Ottawa
The correspondents with the
British army agree that the enemy
yesterday suffered nothing less than
a disastrous defeat. It was the first
phase of the battle In his desperate
attempt to capture the line of hills
held by tbe allies which endanger
his possession of Mont Kemmel. The i
Germans have probably used 13 divis-
ions from the east of Tpres south-
ward In line of battle with two more
northward and the violence of the
gunfire was never greater or more
unceasing at any period of the war.
Bleedleit Day Yrt for Enemy.
The successful allied defence made
the day the bloodiest yet experienced
by the enemy as attack after attack
was smaahed by artillery and infantry
fire. The Germans had already Buf-
fered heavily on Sunday when their
concentration of troops was caught
and scattered by gun fire. Their
waves yesterday were mowed down
and the British wings and French
center neither bent nor broke.
