CLAIM CAPTURE OF RouLERs
Statement Of Allies as to Important
Gain Is Met With Denial
From Berlin.

London, Dec. 11.-Roulers, until the
last few days headquarters of the Ger
man army staff in West Flanders,
has been captured by the allies.
The news was relayed here from
Amsterdam. The Sluis correspondent
of the Handelsblad is authority for
the report. Roulers is II miles north.
east of Ypres.
Armentieres, for long time held
by the Germans, also has fallen into
the hands of the British, according to
the Boulogne correspondent of Reu.
tiers. The dispatch says that the Ger
mans have been pushed back beyond
artillery range. Armentieres is nino
miles northwest of Lille.
The capture OF Roulers and Armen-
there's verifies the many reports that
the Germans are falling back before
the offensive movement of the allies.
This progress of the allies is indi-
Gated in the official report from Paris.
The movement was started two weeks
ago and has shown steady success.
One reason for the apparent weak.
ness of the Germans is that thousands
of men have been detached from the
French battle front to go to the aid OF
the kaiser's forces who have been
menaced by the Russians in the east.
