reported today TO have withdrawn
their advanced line eastward from
Marlakerke and MiddeIIeirke because
Of the fire Of the guns Of the British
monitors. They have heavily en-
trenched themselves east Of the main
highway that connects ostend and
Nieuport and have. also fortified the
line from Wiiskerke southeast to
Thorout. The new German head
quarters IN the north is reported 70
be at chisteiies.
There has been no cessation Of the
violent fighting according to reports
received this morning at General
Gaiiieni's headquarters. The Ger
mans are continuing their attempts to
break through the lire from the north
toward Nieuport and from lille, but
at no point have they succseded.
The Germans are alto reported nc.
tive In the east along the hsights Of
the Meuss and near verdup, where
they are Smelling the small forts Of
the roul-verdun line.
Reports received here say that =
large portion Of Lille has been
burned. The town has been the
center Of fierce fighting between
British and German cavalry In which
there were many hand to hand en-
counters. The allies were finally
forced, however. to abandon the city

should be as perfect as students can

There Is, of course, danger that activi-
