International News Service Correspondent
Paris, Oct. 15.-That the 1anking
movement of the allies left wing is
making marked gains is indicated by
an official statement issued here this
afternoon. 1t states that the Belgian
town of Ypres, which is ~ miles
northwest of Lille and SO miles south
of Ostend, has been occupied by the
British troops.
This announcement, which is the
first official statement that has men
toned English troops as operating IN
this section, shows that the allies lett
wing has extended it's range OF work
from France into Belgium.
The occupation of Ostend has not
been officially reported here, but there
is no doubt in London official circles
that it will be accomplished within
very short time. The news OF the oc-
cupation of Ypres by the troops OF the
allies is believed to have an important
