Franco-Belgians Hope to
Take Advantage of Kai-

~ FRANKLIN P. MERRIck.

PARIS, Nov. 4.-TAHng advantage
of the discontinue of the Germans,
the allies are assuming q vigorous Of
fensive along the entire line, and vio-
lent fighting is reported from the
North Sea to the Vosges. Roughly, the
regions Of battle are as follows:
North and south of Ypres. In this
region the allies claim to have gained
ground by following up the Germans,
who were compelled to retreat when
the dykes, lying parallel to the User
river were cut by the Belgians.
In the district lying along the Lys
river, near Lille, and north OF Arras,
German attacks having failed in that
area. the allies turned upon the invad-
ers with series of fierce counter at
tacks
Near Roye, where the lines have
a fortnight.
Along the valley of the Aisne, es-
pecially in the territory around Vailly
where the Germans have given the
French considerable trouble. 1t was
in that region, that the French being
attacked Unexpectedly, were driven
southwark across the Aisne river.
In the Argonne. where artillery is
playing an important part in the hos
tilities.
Along the Meuse valley, Verdun-
Toul line, where the Germans have
struggled in vain against the strong
French forces.
In the Moselle valley. especially in
the region of the Pont-A-Mousson,
southwest OF where the French are
pressing forward with the utmost Wig
or. 1t is possible that the French
general staff may have decided on a
hard offensive movement in an effort
to compel the Germans in France to
fall back.
The operations now in the Flanders
lowlands along the User are at stand
still. The low-lying ground is covered
with water from the severed dykes.
Rush More Troops.
The allies have lost some prisoners
In the fighting near Roye.
1t Is evident that Germany is max
Ing every endehvor to rush fresh troops
to the firing line in western Belgium
The German barracks in captured Bel
gian cities, and the railway and tele
graph patrols have been reduced to
minimum in order to allow every pos
sible man to go to the front.
Some believe that the Germans have
definitely abandoned their attempts to
get to Dunkirk and Calais.
The activity of the German fleet in
the north Sea makes it advisable if
not necessary for the Germans to
maintain a base in northern Belgium
as near as possible to the French line.

The return of Bots Penrose to the

The Republicans made big gains in
