Boulogne, March Livery German
battery in the Lombaertzyde district has
been reduced to silence and in addition
the Germans have lost all their batteries
standing in the Great Dune. All this
ground. once a German stronghold. now
lies between the two armies, forming
4 neutral zone.
Portions of the German line have been
heavily reinforced during the last twen-
ty-four hours and the invaders seem
determined to hold Ostend at any cost.
During the last few days. however. a
great change in the conditions OF the
ground has proved Of enormous help to
the allies in their advance. The Os-
tend road. recently completely inundated.
is now quite dry. and the same is true
Of much of the surrounding country.
This allows the allies TO operate infantry
mass movements.
steady series of French successes
is reported from the Champagne district
where the French position has been both
consolidated and widened. Violent and
continual German attacks have been re-
pulsed with heavy losses. according to
reports Especially has this been true
on the slope to the northeast OF Mesnil.
a strategical position for which the troops
have been battling for nearly a week.

gestions from non-belligerents on de-
struction IF property in Belgium.
Unless neutral nations are prepared

What retaliatory measures will he

OF Commons this afternoon.
He said that the governments intention
would become apparent when the council
order was published. and declined to
make any definite statement in the mean

Ha. ships for Blockade.
England has plenty of ships to make
the blockade effective, according to the
opinions expressed in the London press
today. The papers also state that Eng
land has no fear of their Harships suf-
ferinS from any German submarine at
tack
Prom the first il has been and 1t
quence of German aggression and
quence of eIIrman aggression and
lawlessness as little a burden on neu-
trail countries as possible" says the
Pail Mall Gazette.
The idea in the American press
seems to hold that we propose a long
distance blockade because We could
not make a formal blockade effective.
This is erroneous. We have plenty
of ships which we can use for this
purpose without the smallest fear of
their suffering from a submarine at
tack. We could do all we desire by
Il close blockade of German North
Sea ports and tiEhteniny up our con-
ira band regulations. but this would
make neutral ships and cargoes liable
TO capture and condemnation by n
prize court instead of being merely
detained"
