The principal scene of conflict is around La. Bas- see, virtually dominating Lille, Where the German «troops threw them‘slelves in masses against the allies. For the most part British troops are engaged here."Bo-th sides have suffered terri'bnly. The Black Watch and Royal Irish regiments have been in the thickest of the fighting, and the British casualty list is very great, although muoh smaller than that of the Germans, who encountered them in solid for- mation. There has not been a. minâ€" ute’s respite in the conflict except during the darkest hours of the night, but even then the' artillery of both armies kept up a continuous duel. The Belgians, in their encounter with the Germans, have thrust the invaders back. and at the concluâ€" sion of this fighting 1,700 German dead were found on the field. A despatch from Paris says: A German advance in Belgium is counterbalanced by French success- es in the region of Verdun. ’Dhe Kaiser's forces had slightly the bet- ter of the hard fighting at the ex- treme \VC'Slt of the line, but Gerri. Joffire’s troops dealt destructive blows toward the extreme east. The general situation, as indicated by the official reports. remains the sameâ€"incessant, violent fighting with no decisive outcome. Veering from the sea, coast and punishment by British and French naval guns, the Germans hurled an army against the Belgians defending the River Yser and were able to cross the Year between Nieuport and Dix- mude, at a point about six miles from the coastline. The Germans brought heavy guns from Liege and the Krupps determined the con- flict. It had taken the Kaiser's HARDEST F'GHT IN CAMPAIGN The Germans appeared at this point to have an inex'hraurSIbi-ble supâ€" ply of men, whom they did not spa/re. Everywhere, where one main fell, two seemed to appear to fill the gap. The allies, however, have at their disposal fresh troops, and succeeded in repullsling the Ger- mans whrncveu' they pushed a for- midable attack home. All the transâ€" port arrangements of the allied troops are working splendidly, and the men at, the from, are kept well $5841 and supplied wit/h ammunition.
