A despatch from Paris says: The |] Mtempts by the Germans to turn jhe flank of the allies and , tbtain session of the ports of Ostend, nkirk and Calais have been un- successful, for the Germans came face to face with a strong opposing allied army which compelled them to fall back after severe fighting. What is known as "the marching wing" of the allies is continually in contact with the German troops and completely covers the approach to * the coast towns. When thev- fought & pitched battle west of Lille the Germans were forced to make a "marked retirement from Laventie in 'the direction of Lille, their occupa- 3 tion of which by 30, 000 men. was of B: short duration. The line of the "battle of the 'north' extends 'over the most Historic ground in Flan- ders; where, on:the 'Field of Cloth |* of Gold," Francis 1, and Henry VIII. had their celebrated meeting in 1520. Owing to the sinuous char- acter of the line of battle, the total length of it from. the coast of Bel- glum to the Swiss border now reaches nearly 360 miles. Belief in their final success appears to have taken a firm hold on the allies, All the men display confidence in their . oommanders, who are doing every- bhing possible to spare their troops. The allied soldiers are fighting with vigor. They often perform marches which seem beyond human power, while on the battle field their ardor is unrestrainable. This is made evi- dent often when' small detachments act apart from the: 'main bodies, French dragoons recently were en- trusted with the task of covering the passage of a river by artillery. ey met a body of German Hussars in a clash. Both sides charged si- multaneously, and the melee lasted ten minutes, 'during which the men slashed and 'pierced each other with swords and lances amid the crack of 'officers' revolvers. Finally the hussars broke' ranks and galloped off, leaving many of their men on the field. "The dragoons also' suf: . fered severely, but attained their " object--that of securing a safe pass- age for their comrades. : et Va y Sentenced fo Death. A despatch from.
