apparently is under way in Flanders.
where the right flank of the German
front is anchored upon the sand dunes
and fiat fields that skirt the North sea
coast. The terrific battle of big guns,
raging for days past, has been sue
rceeded by charge of infantry and
the combined British and French
force is sweeping forward over the
strongly fortified Teutonic lines.
Germany is battling with despera-
ton probably unparalleled in the war
to hold her lines in Flanders Not.
outstanding the heavy handicap
which the weather has imposed the
entente forces have made good their
most important gains and apparently
are only awaiting clearing conditions
to blast their way further into the
Teutonic front.
1t is assumed that war council
~of the high military and naval lead
ers in Germany called by Emperor
William to meet in Brussels had as it's
objective an analytical survey of the
offensive, which, if carried out as
planned by the allies, would menace
the German holdings in Belgium, and
especially along the coast.
Ten or more villages and towns
and more than $500 prisoners were
the net result of the first day of the
Anglo-French drive on twenty-mile
front against the German positions in
Flanders. Some of the villages cap
tured have been in German hands
since the invasion of Belgium.
On the Russian front the Austrian
crown land of Bukowina again has
been virtually overrun by Austro-Ger-
man forces, which were enabled to
advance by reason of the recent dis
astrous break in the Russian lines to
the north. Czernowitz, the capital,
once more is in Austrian hands.
