A eiy severe attack against
the portion of the line held by the.
First Army Corps before Ypres was
delivered on tho 11th by a Prussian
iiianl Corps. The emmy made an
especial effort on this occasion to
break the line, which they hopel al
ready hail been weakened by attacks
of Infantry of the line. The facts
briefly are as follows:
Our troops were subjected to the
he.ilet bombardment that we have
yet experienced from dawn for three,
hours. This was at once followed up
by All iiMtault In force, carried out
by the Klr.t and Fourth Brigades of
the Prussian Oturd Corps.
It Is understood that these picked
troops had been brought up specially
to act against us In order to forco
Ihelv way through at points where
previous efforts mude by tho Infantry
of the line li.ul failed.
The attack was pressed with ths
create.t braver and determination.
Owing to the gallantry of our troops
nd their pendld resistance against
Krtat odd. the attempt to penetrate
to Ypres was repulsed, hut the weight
of the enemy's advance enabled them
to break through our lines at three
points They were, however, hurled
hack and prevented from gaining
further ground.
An Immense los has been In
flicted in the Hermans, 700 of their
dead having bee n found on the.
ground behind our front trenches
alone. The casualties nuffertd by
them In advancing up to our line
under direct and enfilading ttre
must have been enormous. Our
casualties also were heavy
The action of our trocps n this
ns well us on previous occasions
cannot be praised too highly.

On the branch of the Yser Canal

nnd we have taken 700 prisoners.
During our attacks on Ypres, which
hnve progressed favorably, another

Fierce French attacks to the

N'oitTimiN France. Nov. 13. Our ad
vancc. has been curried beyond the treach

was retuken eurly this morning, one day
after Us capture by the enemy. These
two events mark a certain away of the
roast battle In our favor, but u tremen

even over the ruins of .Nlcuport, where
there had been calm.
There Is no day to day gauge of suc
cess or failure. Many men who have
taken pan In the three weeks of dny ami
night lighting, oscillating this way and
that over four miles of country, can
Kiareely believe that either victory or
defeat Is possible. In one of the later
engagements near Ypres the Hermans
felt the full penalty apparent success can
bring.
A considerable body of Infantry forced
lis way past some of our tienches, and
their otltrcrs puthed them on In the hope
that a gup hud at laat been made. It
had, but it soon closed up behind and the
men had no option hut to surrender and
1,300 prisoners were taken. The men had
fought well and proved, not for the llrt
time -lt Iter, that it is quite a mlntake to
suppose that Gorman Infantry cannot on
occasion light In open as well as close
order,
Hut In spite of their manifest fighting
qualities one of the men, who spoko good
Kngllxh, expiessed envy of our men. "You
see," he said, "we alwnjs fight In front
of olllcors with loaded plutols, who shoot
w If we rotlru. You tight uloug-wlth your
frlrcrs." The imin showed a nort of
hopeless, acceptance of a fact. He had ap
parently us little rancor against his cap
tors as ugrfliut the otllcers.
At about the Mine time this ruptur
was made about S00 of our ttoops were
forced to surrender in the flooded country
further north, The advance was ilushlng
snd successful, hut at u critical nurlud tha
supporting column found Itself so Inferior

In Maxims that a retreat was necessary. !
In this way are matters balanced In Oil
quick oscillation of fortune.
It Is dlttlcult even for those who are
fighting and have tho fullest Information
to know of the measure of success or fail
ure, but In Judging the results the people
at a distance are perhaps prone to exag
gerate their value. The town of Dtxtnudo.
for example, may be described as a dust
heap In a marsh, a point In strategy of
no consequence whatever.
The walls are often worse than noth
ing. Success means an advance from the
trenches, which are so far in front of the
town that the enemy's guiw cannot reach
them. These trenches, In spite of the
expanse of barbed wire laid by engineers
who know the skill of the spader's work,
are themselves tenable ugalnst artillery
tire only under certain favorablo condi
tions of alignment.
At the moment our ndvance, If held
good, should make Ypres. the latest vic
tim, safe from further peril, but the finest
buildings have already suffered,

North France, Nov. 13. The Oermans
did not have much time in which to con
gratulate themselves on the seiiure of the
mass of ruins which was once the town
of Dlxmude. Towns aro more dangerous
to hold nowadays than forts.
After the Hermans had taken the place
they were sprayed with shrapnel and their
ranks shattered by high explosive sh-lls
until they were threatened with extermi
nation. Then the French marines made a
bayonet charge which was successful and

to the south remains obscure. It seems
the Hermans mudo a slight advance be
fore Ypres, but It Is doubtful If they hold
the village of Saint Klol, as they asserttd
In their olllelal statement.
The Hermans ut L.a liaxsee, as at Ant
werp, are trying to drive a wedge Into
the Allies' linn by concentrated heavy
gundre. It Is known that Herman heavy
guns nre at Hlvenchy, from which placet
they are bombarding llrthune. In a
month the Hermans have gained about
three miles
At this rate It would take
them nearly two years to reach Calais
sixty-three miles from l.a nnxsee.
At I-a llaxsee there has been for a long
time u considerable bulge In the Allies'
line north and south of that p'are, but the

NonTHKRN France, Nov, 13. Fierce as
the lighting around Ypres has been for
the lust week, the Oerman effort Is not
yet exhausted. They have renewed the
attack at Nleuport, profiting by the fact
that a strong southwesterly gale has
prevented the monitors for two days from
coming near enough to bombuid their
positions north of the town.
They are delivering fierce ossaults. On
the outskirts of Ypres they have been
thrown back 600 yards across the Yser.
Sunshine has given place to cold, driving

winds, chilly rains and mists, yet the
Hermans continue In foul weather as well
as fine to throw themselves again and
again on our line, rolling along It and
seeking n gap or a weak spot. A high
Ilelglati olllcnr said to me:
"Tho Hermans are stronger than we ex
pected, but there can be no doubt as to
the tlnal result. We have no Illusions iut
to the tremendous efforts which will be
necessary to achieve It."
A, diary found on n Herman officer
kilted near the Yser contains passages
which state thnt the care of the Rerms.ii
wounded leaves much to bo deeilred and
that other conditions are bad. One pas
sage leads:
"It Is Impossible to get regular sup
