 R0UT CONCENTRATED
Berliners Anxious Because War Office Does Not An
 nounce Victory.

London, Dec. 19.-The co-ordina- tion of military movements in the east and west which has been observ ed since the commencement of the war, is showin in a striking way in the offensive movement of the allies in Northern France and Flanders, ihaeping the Germans engagpd and preventing them from sending rein- forcements eastward. The allies claim gains in Flanders and France during the last few days which are said to counter balance the German advances in Poland.
 Progress of the allies in the vicin- ity of LeBassee, where the Germans had chung tenaciously to their posi- tions for so many weeks, is regard ed here as particularly noteworthy, as the German spear point there had presented an irritating problem. The advance of the allies thus far has been slow. but British military critics expect it to gain impetus.
