from London view, for the moment

should the German navy undertake
this venture, it would be confronted
with much the saIne proposition as
has met their fleet since the COM

aSslsl.ta the same risks of cOlliding
with mines heretofore faced by the
British alone, because the British mine
field stretches right along the Belgian
coast from OStend southwark.

The advance Of the German force
threatening the northern French sea
coast has been halted for the moment,
says the correspondent OF the Chron-
icle in northern France. The Germans
have suffered heavily in the recent
lighting and are now short OF mum
tons and stores. However, they are
preparing to strike a heavy blow. It is
probable that they will attempt to pen
citrate the defense Of Dunkirk. with the
object OF o~Verrunning the French coast
as far as Calais and Boulogne. The
heavy siege guns remain at Antwerp
and were being removed toward the
present German line, while large bodies
of German troops are being pushed
forward. A large force Of Germans is
conferred at Thourout, j miles south
