A delsplatoh from Paris says: The anbillwex‘y attack by the Germans is centred on Ypr-els in the north and on the allied lcine near Soissons, where the west flank hinges. on to the centre. These long range at tacks are the only incidents of the fighting thought; worthy of report by the French Government.

Elsewhere in the town there has been little fighting. Tremendous losses suffered byboth sides. the exhaustion produced by weeks of night and day fighting and sapping‘ the suffering caused by floods and frost have brought about, for the time at. least. a. situation which the Government refers to lvaeo‘n'icallyfius “calm.” The soldiers on both sides have kept to the trenches, having neither time nor energy for other labor than to make life barely en- durable.

The “Continever tent,” as it is styled. is really a hut with vertical sides and slightly sloping roof, made of wood covered with rein- forced canvas. The chief superior- ity of the tent, beyond its comfort, lies in the fact that it is so conâ€" structed that it can be put together or taken down in a few minutes The War Office has given a contract for 10.000 of these tents, and it is hoped by Mr. Aylwin that his de- monstration before Canadian offi- cers will result in further orders. Sample tents erected in Green Park. Piccadilly, and used by the Terri-torials, showed that both men and horses were better protected than under canvas.

SUW LAND MINES IN OSTEND DUNES A despatch from the Hague says: The Germans are mining the dunes near ()‘st/end and northward co the Dutch frontiex. A Dutch military expert; says: Enemy Said to Be Preparing a "Surprise" for the Allies in Belgium. “Military men have been sur- prised thait hitherto we have heard so little of German land mines. Perhaps it is because the allies have not, yet, penetrated to German soil. Although after the battle of the Marne they reached a position that had been occupied by the enemy, it must, be assumed that the Germans had not time to mine the ground. Now in the north-west- of Belgium it looks as if the Ger- mans were preparing a, mine surâ€" prise. The whole dune region. which is about fifteen miles wide, has been declared forbidden ground not only to civilians, but to the soldiers and ofiicens of the German land forces, who are allowed them only on special permits from the marine brigade, under Whose juris- diction that territory has been placed. ' . .n 1 1 ' ,J ,, ...... “From a. fugitive who has arrived in Holland, we learn that active digging is proceeding in the dis- triot. “Isolated German land mines consist of cylinders filled with shells or bombs and strong explo- sives. 'llhe cylinders are fastened to chains abourt ten feet long which are firmly anchoredjn the ground. “Through electric connections the mines can be exploded at a great distance. Gunpowder placed near the mines is fired by the elecâ€" tric current, and the resulting exâ€" plosion causes the cylinders to leave the ground to a. height of five or six feet. Then the shock caused by the resistance of the anchor causes the dynamite in the cylin« ders to explode and the charge spreads in all directions horizon- tally.” Germans Found Warships ,Wel'c Spar-ing Streets on Sea Front. A despatch from London says: “A week ago,” says the "Daily Mail’s Dunkirk correspondent, “the- Germans noticed that the fire from the English warships spa-red the. houses on the sea front at Middelâ€" kerke, whereupon they took up quarters in them. This fact be- came known to the British. who suddenly bombarded the houses from fiVe ships at once. The G012 man casual-ties were enormous, the dead alone being estimated at 1,700.” The correspondent of the Times in West Flanders relates fur- ther indications of an impending German retreat from the line they are now holding.
