GERMAN ARMY BACKED AGAIN

Give Up Attempt to Reach the
Belgian Coast.
London, Nov. 4.-That the German
army has abandoned its attempt to
hack it's way along the Belgian coast
to Calais is agreed by all the official
reports tonight.
A combination of inundated country,
the remnant of the Belgian army under
King Albert, and the activity of the
British warships seemingly all contrib
uted toward ending the costly struggle.
A Berlin official report attributes
the failure of the Germans entirely to
the flooded state of the country, where
the water in places is over a mans
head, but it declares that the army
of Emperor William withdrew in good
order and without losses.
