In its report of the recent fighting in Belgium, the Times says
the enemy’s most furious attack along Yser canal was at Ypres,
where a quarter of a million Germans, for five critical days, were
held back by the British, The enemy’s artillery attack was
terrible, but in infantry attacks by the British the Germans fled,
throwing away their rifles as they ran. Many hundreds were
captured and many thousands killed and wounded. The German
artillery continued its attack until Friday, when British reinforce-
ments arrived and the situation was saved. The Germans fel}
back fifteen miles. As the result of one night’s fighting, the
bodies of 2,500 Germans were found in the canal, In effecting a
crossing of the Yser, five thousand Germans fell, while the re-
mainder were forced to retreat after crossing.

the battle of the Yser. The crossing of the river, from which they
