Germany Is believed to be staking tho
Issue of her offensive campaign In France
on the battle of the River Lys. Success
thero will undoubtedly be followed by ef
forts to push through to the north French
coast. A decisive victory by the Allies
will be followed by the abandonment of
the northwest part of Belgium at least.
Indications of the beginning of such a
movement have already been reported
from Holland, as well as by airmen of
tho Allies, who have flown over the Ger
man lines alons the entire battle front.
Telegrams from Rome say Italian mili
tary experts are of the same opinion and
believe the German threats of an In

The cruiser Good Hope, flagship of Hear

Oltlcorn of the Schcrnhorst expressed
the belief today that almost 1000 British
officers and sailors were killed In last
Sunday's engagement.
Tho Monmouth, which was sunk, car
ried a complement of GTS officers and
