BV one or those pack-LO-ule- wall" stands, for which they have been famous in this war, the Franco-British forces have saved the situation in the Ypres sector from turning into an i'm mediate big success for the Germans after the loss by the allied forces of the dominating peak of Kemmel.
 Had the enemy been able at once to develop his success in the Kemmel sector as he attempted to do, the re- suit probably would have been disas- trous to the allied troops in the Ypres salient. The British, however, held firm against the attacks, which lasted all day yesterday in the neighborhod of Voormezeele, two miles south of Ypres, and the French were equally firm in defending the line in the sec tor of Locre, west of Kemfnel, pro tected by the heights of Mont Rouge and Scherpenberg.

 The next day or two probably will decide whether the allied command will attempt to cling to Ypres and the salient which en- circles it to the immediate rear |'N of the Ypres positions. A British withdrawal from the salient has been predicted by many of the military observers, although the British war office has declared such move was not necessarily forced by the loss of Mount kem- mel
