kaiser's Dream of
Flanders Control
Brought to an End

London, Oct. IS.-The German
dream of dominating the Flanders
coast has come to an end, the morn
ing newspapers say. and they speak
of Thursday as a memorable day IN
the war.
The Belgian coast ports. says the
Daily Telegraph. we're symbols OF
the enemy's U-boat campaign and
the threat to Great Britain. The
evacuation Of these places, il add5.
is doubly humiiiating and morally
Tuinous for the authors of the war.
The Daily Mail, after describing
Thursday as the best day Of Tie
war. says that b. the rescue Of
Lille the British nation and army
has been able in some measure to
repay the debt they owe TO France.
adding:
1t is equally glorious that the
British navy has been able TO res
cue Ostend and TO restore to King
Albert and his people the coast for
which they battled so long"
Paris, Oct 18.-Lille, Douai and
Ostend. three great cities, have
been delivered from the enemy.
This is the most glorious day for
the allies since the battle OF the
Marne and it fittingIy terminates q
wonderful battle of three months,
which was opened by General Man
gins victorious counter offensive on
July 1S.
Many cities have been liberated
and hundreds OF square miles OF
territory retaken. The results have
been splendid But the victory in
Belgium Is not all. The British
south Of lie Cateau have broken
into the German positions and now
threaten the Hunding line. The
whole German defense system east
ward to the Meuse il in peril
As the first result of the forcing
of the Germans back to the Ghent-
/ urnai-Valenciennes line during
Yesterdays fighting has been to sap
the eneny's defenses before they
have been able to reach them fur-
ther south. 1t may be said that the
prospects OF the future are even
more important than the actual re
suits attained.
The road to Brussels is open. Ac-
cording to latest advices the French
and Belgian armies are advancing
rapidly towards Bruges and Ghent.
. The capture of Ostend makes i
possible to land reinforcements and
I throw forces against the eXtrem ,
right Of the German army.
