The allies, according to officers re-

The Belgians now control the rail-

moving in that direction to continue
the battle which has been so well be-
gun by the allies
From Ypres down to Arras fighting
OF the severest kind went on all day.
For the most part it favored the al
lies, who not only held tenaciously to
their position but made colsideIsbls

Reports received from the shore

the fire and to its CALLING character.
The flank is thus thoroughly main

Yesterday and the day before the
enemy brought up heavy guns and re.
piled vigorously to the fire of Ad.
miral Hoods ships, The vessels re-
ceived only trifling structural dam
age. Today the opposition from the
shore has practically ceased and the
preponderance of the naval gunlers
seems to be established.
The casualties have been verv
slight throughout, but one shell, ex-
ploding on the destroyer Falcon,
killed one officer and eight men and
wounded one officer and fifteen men.
One killed and several wounded are
also reported from the light cruiser
