The artillery duel continued through
the night. The German fire seemed to
be directed chiefly toward emptying
the outlying villages and every road
into Antwerp was choked with refu-
gees. There is no doubt that many
alarming reports of the German opera

Holland. We cannot give definite in
formation from here on account Of the
prohibition against news which might
be useful to the enemy but 1t can be
said, with official sanction that the
position while calling for the utmost
vigilance and efforts is not alarming.

quarters while In others they have
inflicted loss. The general balance in

Of the Aisne must soon have an end,
says Lieut.. Col. Rousset, the military
critic of the Petit Partisan, comment
ing on the last two official conmmun-

"The two armies," says Rousset,
have fought for many days with fury
on an enormous front, but while we
have made progress daily upon two
wings to the north of the river Somme,
and in the south of Woevre, the army
Of the enemy is exhausting itself in
vain efforts to check our advance.
"The situation even though it can
still last some time must inevitably
end by the definite retreat of our adj

cannot indefinitely preserve the defen-
