German Attack Severe. i
The German attack has been par-
ticularly severe in the West, where
their right wing, strongly re-enforced
by fresh troops, is attempting an ad-
vance against the Belgians who are
holding the Allies' extreme left. This
left rests on the coast and is support-
ed by English and French warships
and by Anglo-French troops, which
form a front extending from a point
somewhere in the vicinity of Dixmude,
southward to La Basse ('anal. Both
sides claim successes, but the French

the Russian left wing. The Austrians,

Torrential rains have been falling

fighting, making the flat country a

of German guns extremely difficult.
