though the official communications do
not spread much light on the situation
in West Flanders. other reports ema-
mating from Holland indicate that a
German retirement from the coast
south Of Ostend is imminent, and it is
again reported that the invaders have
evacuated Ostend. These rumors, how
ever. are not confirmed from Berlin,
which claims some advance along the
Ypres line.
The city of Lille is declared, in spe-
cial dispatches, again to be free of Ger
man troops. and its hopeful citizens are
so confident that the Germans never
will return that plans are being made
to resume the usual civic functions.
That Germany has by no means given
up its determination to take Calais is
indicated by the significant report from
Berlin, by way of Copenhagen, that the
German general staff has decided that
the army in Poland shall fall back to
the frontier Of Silesia and remain there
on the defensive until the battle in
Flanders ends with tho capture of Ca

Whether from Bruges this line ex-

WAR NEWS IN BRIEF.
The story of the European wa

The story Of the European war
again was slow in the telling to-
day, but such fragments of news
as the censors permitted to pass
indicated that along the North sea,
the chief point Of present concern
for the nations involved, it was
still battle of give and take.
OF immediate interest was a
semi mi-ofhcial note from Rome indi-
eating that Italy might take a
more definite stand in the strug-
gle.
1t is said that the Island Of
Saseno, commanding the harbor
of Avlona, Albania, ownership Of
which has long been disputed by
Greece and Albania, has been
seized by Italian forces.
The French war Office, in to-
days official statement acknowl-
edges that the fercest German
onslaught, shifted a few miles to
the east and south from the coast,
has met with success at points.
In the east the battle of mil
lions continues without definite
result.
Early advices telling of Tur-
keys attack on Russian ports and
vessels apparently placed the re-
sponsibility for hostilities on the
porte, but in Berlin it is stated
that it was in reality Russia
which started the war.
Action of the British govern
ment in holding up American YES
sells on the high seas led today to
a formal protest from Washing
ton. The immediate cause was
the OBTAINING at Gibraltar of the
American vessel Kroonland with
