OF action In great force. thus dispros.
ing the reports that all It's horses
had been rendered useless owing To
the epidemic OF CHAMBERS.
The Allies extended front has met
with vigorous counter attacks on the
part OF the Germans, who seem to
have weakened their position on the
center OF the battle line In order to
throw heavy masses OF men against
the right and left wings. The Allies.
although forced back short distances
at some points on their left. have
been generally able to hold their own.
The eastern wing also was the
scene OF severe combats. but there the
battle was between infantry and ar.
tillery. and the Allies we're able to
push forward.
stiii Quiet on Center.

been deeply entr,nohed since the COM

boom ~ guns.

the British and French general staffs
asking immediate steps be taken to

by its own efforts and that the allies
can now spare enough fresh troops
TO undertake q thanking movement In
force from the west coast, which
would compel the Germans to evacu'
ate Brussels and to lift the siege OF
Antwerp.

the Allies that their possibilities for
such movements will increase while
those OF their opponents decrease.
