POURING TROOPS
INTO FLANDERS
GERMANS ARE MAKING DEsPER-
ATE EFFORTS TO TURN THE
ALLIED FORCES BACK.
Fighting Continues in the carpathians
Despite the TorrentiaI Rains, the
Russians Claiming to Have
Made Advances.

The Germans are pouring troops
into Flanders to press the attack
which at the beginning has forced
| the allies back to the User canal to
the north of Ypres.
This movement, according to re-
ports reaching Holland, has assumed
even greater dimensions than those
which preceded the battle that ragged
for more than two weeks in this same
region last October. On that occasion
the operations ended in the discount
ture of the Germans, who had de-
! clared their intention of pushing their
way through to Calais.
1t appears that the Germans have
similar aim at this time and have
set out to capture Ypres, which is de-
scribed as the key to the French
coast ports.
While the attack originally met
with considerable success, DUE &C.
cording to the allies reports, to the
use by the Germans of asphyxiating
gases, it is said to have been already
checked. The Canadians, who held
the extreme left of the British line
and were forced to retire when the
rest of the front was pressed back,
made a brilliant counter-attack, re
gaining most, il not all, the ground
which they had conceded and retak
ing four guns which they had left in
the hands of the Germans. In the
words of Sir John French, they saved
the situation.
In the meantime fighting goes on

FOR SUNLESS WINDOWS

IL often happens that the woman
who loves plants has no sunny win
dow in which to grow them and under
the impression that they cannot be
successfully grown without sunshine,
she does not attempt their cultivation,
thus depriving herself of great deal
