now held by Germans in force. An
other port, reported occupied by
Germans with heavy forces is the
northerly seaport of Zaabrugge.
However, reports reaching here say
the Germans have found it imposes
BILE to push their advance south along
the coast because of the presence ir-
their path of combined Belgian
BritishFrench army.
The general situation is reported
as improving. The French right
wing, which has been driving back
the army of the German crown
prince, is combining with the right Of
the front center and both have sue
ceeded in advancing towards Ver-
dun. There is a growing belief here
that the French forces, who are car
