M. —Ger- man forces, as was predicted, have oc cupied Ostend, near the sea, where the Gerrryin right wing and the allies' left are struggling in the latest phase of what was once the battle of the Alsne. Reports reaching London say that German imagination has been tired by the taking of Ostend and the cry now is not only "On to Calais," but "On to Boulogne." What progress, if any, the Germans have made since they entered Ostend Thursday morning is not known here, but their next objective, apparently Is Dunkirk. Opinion in England seems to differ as to what part the British fleet would play should the battle con tinue to skirt the coast line and the reports that British dreadnoughts would hack up the French, British and Belgian forces from the Straits of Dover seem to originate in German sources. I/ondun papers generally deprecate the Importance of the German occu pation of the Belgian coast, pointing out that the British mine field pre vents the enemy's bringing ships to operate from the none too spacious harbor of Ostend. The fact remains, however, that as the fighting gets geo graphically nearer to England the public, heretofore discussing and speculating on a Zeppelin raid, is bound to ask itself what will come next. It Is unquestionably true that if Ger many is able to engineer submarine attacks from a base farther away, Ostend. If held by the Invaders, cer tainly would be of some strategic value. The allied left is holding its ground. At some points It is even moving for ward. having occupied Laventle, driv ing the Germans back In the direction of Lille. On the Vistula river the Russians claim to have repulsed a German at tack. Whether the German advance on Warsaw has been permanently checked only the future can show. One version has It that the Germans are preparing to winter In Poland. Ac cording to a dispatch from Petrograd, dated Friday, but received here to day. the Russians now have opened their attack aong the entire line.
