The bnttle In Flanders was
continued yesterday with tho
ferocity which hag consistently
marked this crucial struggle since
it began more than a month ago.
From French sources cume re
ports of minor advantages in the
fighting, but the great issue
there, as on the eastern frontier
of Germnny, still hung in the bal
ance. Ilerlln made the ttatement that
three British warships, part of the
fleet which had been assisting the
allies to stem the German onrush
toward the Kngllsh channel, had
been disabled.
Of greater importance to Great
Hritalu than any of the day's, pass
ing; events was Hie question of the
attitude in the world t ar to be
taken by the millions of Moslems
in its colontaK possessions. Re
ports emanating from Germany
were that the Moslems in some
instances, at least, were siding
with the sultan of Turkey, to
whom they owe spiritual alle
giance, as against Great Britain.
The German attack on the ex
treme west Is shifting slowly
southward In Belgium, toward the
French border. The country to
the west of Dlxmude has been
transformed, by the tapping of
canals and the heavy rains, into a
vast swamp in which heavy fight
ing is almost Impossible. South
of Dlxmude, the French war office
said today, renewed German ef
forts to cross the Yser canal were
beaten back, with the destruction
of a German regiment. The French
claim tho recapture of positions
taken recently by the enemy. Else-,
where along the lines the fighting
has once more relaxed, being lim
ited chiefly to artillery engage
ments. In London it is rumored that a
large force of Germans around
Dlxmude has been cut off by the
floods. The inundated country
now extends south of Dlxmude to
within three miles of Blxschoote,
about balf way to the French
border.
