A great battle to determine whether the advancing German host will be stopped in Western Belgium or push on into France, seizing Dunkirk and Calais on the strait of Dover, must come soon and quite possibly is being fought to-day. Official intelligence is markedly meager to-day and this in variably is the case when the belligerents are particularly active.

The allied troops have occu pied Fleurbaix and the immediate approaches to Armentieres, it ii announced, while further gains are claimed in the region of Arras and the vicinity of St. Mihiel.

Vienna states officially that fighting continued Thursday alo tg the entire battle front from the southeast of Przemysl to the mouth of the San.
