BALANCE OF Gil FAI TIE ALLIES Latest Offensive Move ment of Germans in Belgium and France Determinedly Met THE FIGHTING ON YSER RIGHT BANK While Paris Admits Allies Have Not Regained All Lost Ground in Valley of Yser, Their Known Gains Give Hope of General Success Paris, Nov. 2, 6.50 A. M.—The al lied troops, according to official infor mation here, are still determinedly meeting the latest vigorous offensive movement of the Germans in Belgium and in Prance.

While it. is admitted that the allies have not regained all of the lost ground in the Valley of the Yser, their known gains in that region give every hope of a general success. In the vicinity of Nieuport and Dixmude the enemy has been repulsed beyond the railroad while the inundation effected between the Yser and tile Nieuport-Dixmude line has rendered the ground so swampy that the German trenches have become un inhabitable. This last fact is noted in the latest Belgian official statement. • Allies Surround Poelkapello Referring to the developments on I the line from Dixmude to Ypres the I Belgian statement is precise in its an nouncement that Poelkapelle has been ! surrounded by the allies.
