Then eame reports of a spread of the light ing around tin- eurve in the line in front of ^ pros nniil the llelgian ar mies, north of i lie eity, were involved.

The Held marshal'* statement said that tin' Teutons had -pa id a great price a lid had gained virtually nothing. The buttle still continues along the front, hut there is little indication that an immediate withdrawal from Ypres is contemplated hy the allies, at least until they have exacted from the en emy a great sacrifice of human lives. The only point at which t he'( ?crman.s made any gains was on the hilly sec tor of the front hack of Kcmmcl hill, where the French arc standing.

Frontal attacks on Ypres would seem to indicate that there i* little confi dence in the (Jeriuan general *tatT that the Ypres positions can he outtlanked from the south. The lines as they stand toda.v are vcr.\ strong and with ' stood the onset of the ({ertnans in 1 ! > 1 -I when the Teuton emperor's army was a much different machine than it i* to day. The bloody repulse of the Ceruiatis in their great plunge forward will I mean much in further operations in t ha t sector of t he ha 1 1 le line.
