Official Reports Differ.
The German official report, issued to-

had occupied Ramscapelle, which is on
the railway and canal between Nieu-

cial communication given out later
SAYS they were driven out by coun-
ter attack. The extension Of the flood

town. IL is believed, aided in making
the German positions untenable.
Evidently the battlefront, As whole,
remains much as it was when the Ger
mans, through exhaustion few days
ago, ceased their heavy artillery fire
for rest.
The French report tells Of various
advances and losses, but these usually
so far as distance is concerned, can be
marked in a few yards, and the ADVANCE
