other points of the battle line, It
was claimed, also were checked, !,
.but it was noteworthy that no
progress anywhere was claimed.
It is naturally the allies conten-
tionthat the outcome of the Ger
man advance on the coast towns,
now seemingly in allegiance, will
be arepetition of the German
sweep on Paris-that twill end
with a retreat. All reports,
however, agree that the Germans
are bringing up all their availa-
BILE re-enforcements and that it
will require an effort as great as
any yet made to make them
withdraw.
The power of the English
fleet and EngIand's mastery
over the sea are slowly becom-
ing more and more factors in
the war. England has been fret
ting in the face of a situation
which so far has precluded any
general engagement with the
German fleet. Thus, the men
ton of British ships as being ac-
tive OFF the Belgian coast is
hailed with particular public
satisfaction.
All, reports that the allies had
retaken Ostend proved incorrect and
not much faith is placed in the
despatch fsaying they had occupied
Bruges If they have done so II
would mean that the German line
has been pushed so far back as to bs

LONDON, Oct 21.While
England today paid homage TO
Nelson, on this the anniversary
OF the battle of Trafalgar, the
forces of Germany and the allies
continued to fight back and forth
along the battle line in France
and over a web of waterways,
the presence of which seems like

name of the battle of the canal.
1t was a starneg colncldent
that Britain learned on Trafal-
gar day for the first time Off
cially. that the British fleet was
cooperating with the allied
army on the French coast and
that the unusual number OF
wreaths placed on the Nelson
monument were indicative OF
an expectancy that the day pos

cheering news for the admiral's S

upholds the theory advanced
