GERMAN AND ALLIES HOSPITALS
AGAIN FILLING WITH WOUNDED
French Claim Gains Which Teutons
Dispute Kaiser Rushes Reinforce
ments to Flanders.

LONDON, December 1S.-Foot by foot
the allies appear to be forcing the
Germans out of their trenches in
Flanders and maintaining the pres
sure elsewhere on the front from the
sea to Switzerland. Although not very
marked advances are reported, the
French claim to have made some prog
ress and to have organized the ground
which they gained during the proceed
ing days. The Germans, on the other
hand, assert that the attacks by the
allies have been repulsed.
Wounded Fill Hospitals.
From the number of wounded reach
ing the hospitals of both the Germans
and the allies, it is evident that the
recent fighting in Flanders has been
of a more severe character than shown
in the official statements. Corre-
spondents report that the hospitals are
again filling up, while along the Dutch
border continuous firing can be heard.
The Daily Chronicles Dover CORE
spondent says the allies advanced to
Westende yesterday after the shells
of the allied warships made the Ger
man position there untenable.
In Belgium, French troops have
gained ground to the north of the road
from Ypres to Menin, and also on the
south and southeast of Bixschoote.
