ing the Germans out of Messines Ridge sector are mak-
ing satisfactory progress. Hill 63 and Plcegstert Village
have been captured while

Allied troops counter-attacked repeatedly to secure co
more room but without success. ' W
Later in the day Sir Douglas Haig reports the enemy th
counter-attacked on the sector north of Hill 63 also and
was repulsed after sharp lighting, The British line was pr
advanced yesterday from Nieppe easterly toward Ar- tu
mentieres as well as closer to the Messine Ridge. A Ger-
man retirement to east of Lysa Warenton seems inevit-
able, that will hardly satisfy the second British Army al-

ridge British troops have advanced beyond the line as it
extended bofore the Battle of Lys in April and are men- Sl
