mans are still striving to break down
the Allies defence along the Franco
Belgian frontier.
The line from the coast to Nieu-
port, which has been receiving less
attention since the German began

Ypres, again has been subjected to a
violent bombardment. South OF DIX

London says Germany's remark
ably persistent offensive in blizzard
swept Flanders In the west and the
stability Of her hasty defence along
her eastern frontier were issues the
outcome Of which still was undecided
In the great European war.
In FLANDERS the allied line refuses
to YIELD, while In the east the Rus
SLAMS continue to push forward. The
battle line In France seems for the
time being forgotten, and the actions
there probably will continue to be OF
sparodic nature until the allies IN
FLANDERS prove conclusively that they
can not be battered in or until the
Germans by some mighty effort, prove
that they can.
A month Of futile fighting, entail
Ing losses the extent OF which, per-
hans, never will be fully known, has
net convinced German leaders that
the French coast towns are unattaln-
able, and while snow and rain and
wind and cold have during the past
few days so tried the troops as marx
ediy to reduce their fighting capacity
there Is nothing to show that the In
vaders will not try again.

.eFrom Nieuport to Dixmude and
IN the region of Ypres the cannonad-
ing has been resumed with greater
violence than in the preceding days
On the canal to the south OF. Dixmude

the work that the Germans were en-.

the inundations. The enemy was
PEELED to evacuate portion OF mis-
trenches which had been filed by the
waters.

Berlin reports: "The situation IN
the western area Of the war seems
almost to have been forgotten In Ber-
lin In view Of the German victories
In the east and because Of the lack OF
fighting in Flanders owing to bad
weather.
whether the latest German vic
tories In the east have stopped the
Russian advance can not yet be fore
told. but German military officials say
they undoubtedly have resulted In
giving the Germans an excellent
strategic position and at the same
time Increasing the difficulties OF the
enemy's situations.
