The wedge driven IN between the fort
ress of Lille and German submarine
bases on the Belgian coast is being wild
ened rapidly. The Belgians are encircling
Roulers, on the railway line from Lille
to the submarine bases of Ostend and
Zeebrugge. Farther south, the British
menace Menin, junction point on the
same railroad, and are along the Lys
river west of Menin for distance of five
miles. The forces of King Albert are
overcoming heavy counter-attaeks by the
enemy. 1t appears that the railroads
forming and within the triangle of Lille,
Ghent and Bruges will soon be lost to
the Germans, bringing about the eyacua-
tion of 0stend and Zeebrugge.
General Bertholet resumed his on
slaughts against the German lines be-
tween the Vesle and the Asne in the re-
gion west of Rheims. The French are
marching toward the eastern end of the

the French have captured more than 49,
900 prisoners and in excess of three hun
dred guns on this front. East of the Ar
