markably persistent offensive in bliz-
zard-swept Flanders and her stability
after her hasty defense along her east
ern frontiers, were issues the outcome
of which was still undecided today in
the great European war.
In Flanders the allied line refuses to
yield, while in the east the Russians
continue to push forward. The battle
line In France seems for the time be-
ing forgotten and the actions there
probably will continue to be of a
sporadic nature until the allies in
Flanders prove conclusively that they
can not be battered in, or until the
Germans prove that they can.
Month Of Futile Fighting.
A month Of futile fighting, entailing
losses the extent Of which perhaps
never will be fully known, has not con-
vinced German leaders that the French
coast towns are unattainable; while
snow. rain, wind and cold have tried
the troops severely.
How valiantly the Germans have
been meeting death in what, to date.
has been a hopeless task, is recounted
by the British army's official eye wit
ness at the front, Colonel Swinton.

around Ypres. said: Their dogged
perseverance wins our heartfelt ad-

Disagree A. to Moves.
Berlin is interpreting the retreat of
the German forces from Warsaw as a
strategic masterpiece much the same
as the allies hailed the retirement OF
General Joffre in the early stages in
the invasion Of France. but the Ger
| man people, according to travellers
reaching here, are expressing char
grin at the retreat.
It will be recalled that similar criti-
cism was voiced when the French and
British armies continued to fall back
That this was a strategic move sub
sequently was proved. and according
to those recently who have been at the
German capital. the German army In
the east must similarly Justify its &C
