ROAD FROM OSTEND TO zEEBRU6GE X FORTRESS LINED WITH MANY GUNS

Belgian Army Headquarters in Flanders, Sunday, Oct. 27-CBy the Associated Press)-The road from Ostend to zeebrugge. which the Ger mans recently held is one continuous fortress with many guns silhoutted against the sky. The number of guns increases as the fortified line hears Zebrugge.
 The Germans evidently meant that this line should be 8 permanent one. One concrete block remains unfinished and there are other evidences that the Germans started work on new forti- fications as late as one month ago.
 The town of Blankenbergh, between Zeebrugge and Ostend, is virtually undamaged, but deserted. All the buildings have been stripped of cop per and iron.
 Ostend, from a distance, looks ex- actly as on fete days in times of peace.
