LONDON, April 29. - By one of those back to the wall stands for which they have been famous in this " war, F`ranco-Brltish forces have sav- ed the situation ln the Ypres sector from turning into an immediate big success for the Germans after the loss by the allied forces of the dom- inating peak of Kemmel. Had the enemy been able to imme- diately develop his success in the Kemmel sector, as he attempted to ll do, the result probably would have 3, been disastrous to the allied troops in the Ypres salient. ` The British, however, held rm E` against the attacks which lasted all 11 day in the neighborhood of Voo1'mc- ts zeele, two miles south of Ypres, and, t5 the French were equally rm in de--` tending the line in the sector of Locre, west of Kemmel, protected by ` "' the heights of Mont Rouge and` Scherpenberg.
