BR|T|sHERS FOIL
GERMAN ATTACK
DESPERATE ASSAULT ON YPRES
REPULSED WITH HEAVY
LOSSES TO INVADERS.

London, Nov. 17.-Colonel E. ID.
Swinton, the official observer at the
British headquarters, gives today fur
Their chapter in his narrative of opera
lions at the front, bringing up his &C
count to November IS. His latest re-
port describes the fierce attack Of the
Prussian guards on the British lines IN
the neighborhood of Ypres.
Colonel Swinton's report, issued
through the official press bureau, fol-
lows:
''The diminution in the force of the
German rush to the west has not :ast-
ed long. The section Of the front to
the north of our forces was the first
to meet the recrudescence Of violence,
in the shape of an attack in the neigh
borhood Of Dixmude and Bixschoote.
Our turn came next After eight
days of comparative relaxation, we
we're under constant pressure from
Tuesday, November 8, to Tuesday, the
tenth. The next day saw repetition
of the general attempt of the Germans
to break through our lines to the
French coast. Hr .s"149f
what was realized might happen,
did happen. In spite of the immense
losses suffered by the enemy during
the five day attack against Ypres,
which lasted from October 20 to the
second Of this month, the cessation of
their more violent efforts on the latter
day did not signalize the abandonment
of the whole project, but merely the
temporary REIMBURSEMENT of the main
offensive until fresh troops had been
massed to carry on what was proving
to be a costly and difficult operation.
Meanwhile the interval was employed
in endeavoring to wear out the allies
by repeated local attacks of varying
force and to shatter them by pro-
longed and concentrated bombardment.
BY the eleventh, therefore, it seems
that they considered they had attain
ed both objects, for on that day they
recommended the desperate battle for
the possession of Ypres and its neigh
bOrhOod.
Through the struggle has not yet
come to an end, this much can be said:
The Germans have gained some
ground, but they have not captured
Ypres.
elm repulsing the enemy so far, we
have suffered heavy casualties, but
battles of this fierce and prolonged
nature cannot be but costly to both
sides. We have the satisfaction OF
knowing that we have foiled the
enemy in what appeared to be at pre-.
sent his main object in the western
theater of operations and have inf1ict-
ed immensely greater losses on him
than those we have suffered"
