FROM MONDAYS DAILY
London, Old. ‘.'tS—The War
Office announced this morning
that the German forces in West
Flanders are now in retreat-,
having been forced back from
the coast by the combined ef
forts of British and French
vessels and the Allies forces.
V! Lille, however, they are nua-k
ing a determined effort, to
pierce the Allies' left wing.
They are throwing every man
available against the line at
ttiat place, realizing that if they
lose there they will be compel
led to fall hack on Antwerp,
leaving their right, wing open
to turning. From Rotterdam
comes word that the Germans
are working thousands of men
at. Antwerp in preparing the
fortifications of that place for
a seige if they are forced to fall
hack to that place, and the
bridges on all the rivers and
canals leading to that place

Allied advance.

the almost super-human ef
fort-; of the Germans to break
the French line at Lille, they
have been able to accomplish
nothing. Hundreds of thous

in the effort. French, English
onj Belgians are fighting side
j by side, and prove a veritable
stone wall as far as the Ger
man attempted advance is con
cerned.
