Germans Again RepuIsed

PARIS Nov German assaults

attempt TO take Ypres were repulsed
with heavy losses, according to official re-

been a failure insofar as capturing posi-

Severe fighting is still reported be-

fact that the Germans have been very
strongly reinforced IL is declared here
that they have been unable TO make any
material gains.
The lighting an along the line to

flooded the lowlands and this has ma

that the German attempt on the coast
has been definitely repulsed, and that
