The latest official German communica tion claimed the recapture of Ilserne from the French, but the Belgian report, made subsequently, asserts that posses sion of the town waa won for a second time, and that the French were greetly assisted in the assault by Belgian artil- ery. Luieme, on the weatern side of the canal, has been a bone of fierce conten tion, having changed hands four times In the course of the present fighting. Its Importance la due to the fart that Its possession would give the Germans an Important hold on that side of the canal and would compel the alHee to readjust their line. That the possible outcome of the fight ing along ths Yser Is causing anxiety In England Is Indicated by the demand of the press this morning that the govern ment expedite the sending of a new army to Freno. A strong German offensive Is under way also at BL Mtblel. Thus the two points where the eOrmsn offensive ceased before Christmas on the Tsar and at Rt. Mlhtel have been chosen for the resumption of activities In the spring. It remains to be seen, however, whether these points have been selected ss feints, while the main onslaught la made elsewhere. The eastern front Is receiving scant at tention. Official reports merely speak of detached actions In ths region of the Carpathian passes. Britten Attacks ReawUed. BERLIN (By Wireless to London).
