 Special attention is directed to Ostend. There have assem- bled the greater part of the Bel gian army and about two thirds Of the British forces that escaped from Antwerp. It is believed that Germany is push ing forward te attaelz the city with the hope of capturing and using the port in her opera tions against England.
 A desperate struggle toskeep the Germans from the coast is inevitable. Today's reports in dldate that the German cavalry advance is less. than 30 miles kdistant from Ostend
