(United Press Association —•'Copyright.)
Australian and N.Z. CaWo Association LONDON, May 21. The United Press correspondent reports:—The French attack on the Belgian border was brilliantly successful. They recaptured Locre hospice, Brulooze, and the entire wood southward of Brulooze, advancing the line some distance and taking prisoner five hundred. They greatly improved the position in the neighborhood of Mont Rouge and and Scherpenberg. The French casualties were light. The French suddenly fell on the Germans along a front of between two and three miles. North-east of the Merville-Lamotte road the British advanced their line on a six hundred yards front. Local fighting is developing.
