Paris, Ort. 22—There Is no
getting away from (he fact
IhH the combined Belgian, Brit

sisted by the British navy have
proved too much for the Ger
mans in their advance along
the shores 10f the British Chan
nel, and there i little liklehood
lhat the attempt will again be
made. Hammered by the guns
of Hie British fleet, and hurled
back by the bayonet charges of
the Allied land forces, (he
flower *of Hie German army
has been forced to fall back,
step by step, until instead of
being within sight of Dunkirk
and flie coast, they arc n'asv cas|
and son Hi of Burges, having
lost heavily in both men and
captured guns left behind
them. It is probably the first
time in history iliac dread
naughts have been used aga'lnsl
land forces, and the havoc
wrought by the big guns of (he
ships was tremendous, whole
companies being wiped out of
existence at one explosion of
the huge shells of the main
batteries of the ships.
At, the same lime the Germ
ans were being driven bark a
long the coast, the French
forces under General Pan were
executing a brilliant attack with
both cavalry and infantry oasl
of Lille, and the result is r
wedge driven into the Germ
an line, cutting it and separat
ing the different divisions.
Bruges was evacuated yester
day and today the division
headquarters at Ghent haw
been moved and only enough
soldiers remain in the place
to form a rear guard, the rrs|
of the army falling back co
wards Antwerp and the east
From Rotterdam comes word
that the Germans are moving
(heir biggest guns from Lei,g<
bo Antwerp. This move L
taken to indicate either Ilia1
Ihe Germans are preparing h
fortify that place, or use it a
a base against England.
