MAY DETERMINE FATE
OF GERMAN INVASION
Battle Around Ypres Continues to
Rage With Undated
Fury.
ALLIES LINE FIRMLY HOLDS
Despite Attacks of UnexnmpIed Vio-
lence, Franco-English Forces Re-
main in Control of Hey Situation.
Fighting Breaks Out Along Coast.

Paris. November 13.--The battle on
which probably depends tile fate of
the German invasion of Belgium and
northern FRANCE continues to rage with
Hnapated fury. Despite the masses that
are ceasclessly being hurled against
the allies, and despite the attacks OF
uneNampled violence the allies are
FORCED to sustain, they are said 70 still
hold the key position around rprcs.
The ancient city and the villages OF
lonneheke. Paschendaele and IIolle-
beke. within q radius oS six miles
constitute the dangerous salient or
wedgar thrust into the German line.
While ipres remains III the possession
OF the allies. military strategists say
that tao German advance toward the
coast by way OF Labassee and Bethunc
Will DO impossible, since their nurt,l
flank would be threatened By the allies
II the allies should succeed in adj
vancing further from Yprcs, according
to the officers. the Germans would b..
compelled to abandon Lille and vir-
tuaily give up hope or reaching the
coast through Artois.

more. but only to be hurled back a1uir.
The User Is u small stream, but II is
too deep to be forded, and. there orc,
passage over II must be made By pm
been destroyed. The throwing across
the stream OF pontoon bridges In the
face OF firing from thousands of we'll
posted men Is an exceedingly costiT
operation. but the possession OF the
User Is considered worth II, since il
facilitates the flooding OF tho country
as far as DiXInudc.
Tho struggle is not confined ~ tho
region OF DiXmudo and Ypres. II is
again breaking out afrcsh along the
seashore, where the Germans NJ. de-
clared to have been driven out III Lom-
hacrtzyde. and arc being slowly forced
toward Ostend. The Germans arc ,lid
to attach great Importance to the poe
session OF Lombaertzyde because It
commands the Newport region. and are
consequently making every effort to
regain il. Thus far their effort IL said
to have been without success.
Fog probably hampers both sides,
since there is no mention In any OF
the reports OF the nghting OF tho
allied warships boInbardng i.oni-
baertzydc and the Ostend road. which
In clear weather are well within their
range.
The Germans continue 20 attack the
British In the region of Armen,ieces
and Labussee without. II military OBJ
servers say, appreciably changing the
lines. 1t il thought, however, that
they probably are not putting forth
their full effort as the operations here
necessarily are subordinate TO those on
the IDrca poSitiou. ~
