in an effort to check the Germans, will have an important bearing on the success of the retreat, if the, flooding can be made in time. It was by this means that the great German offensive through Belgium in October, 1914, was stopped and the Channel ports west of Ostend were saved, But the work of inundation is difficult. During the World War, the Allies began their Yser flooding operations on Oct. 26, 1914; but it was not until Oct. 20 that the sea was induced to rush through the destroyed sluices, helped by a ‘gale.

12 miles south of the coast, until four days later. The Allies now have this experience to help them, but they are meeting more devastating opposition now than then. Desperate French fighting in the vicinity of Lille is delaying the encirclement movement by the Germans, but a prolonged fighting here cannot be expected. Lille is beyond the effective range of the guns of the Allied warships along the coast. If the French can get most of their

ready at signal to blow up everything which might be useful to the Germans. How many men were trapped, how many were in the ‘entire northern army, remained a military secret, as did all details of exact movements. The slightest hint now might cost the lives of thousands or tens of thousands of brave men. But estimates of the total force ran as high as 600,000. Even after the Belgian King’s surrender, which left the Allied flank open for the Germans, there had been hope that Gen. Maxime Weygand, Allied Generalissimo, would o:der a counter-attack from the Somme to rescue the trapped northern Army. It. was realized today that unless a. miracle “‘occuired there was no hope. Weygand, ‘newly put in command ‘at a critical hour, had decided it was believed here, and decided rightly, to leave the northern Army to its doom. ; -In the Ypres trap were more Frenchmen than Britons. There were Frenchmen whom Weygand bad known since boyhood, with whom ‘he had fought and wined and dined. . He .was leaving them to their fate, it was indicated, because in. the higher interests of victory tnere was nothing else to do. An unorganized. counter-attack would mean the sacrifice of more men than could be lost in Flanders, and & perhaps fatal weakening of the Allied lifeline on’ the Somme.

They told of endless days of fighting against hopeless odds, or ever new and ever stronger German divisions walking blindly into their machine gun and artillery fire, of using piles of German dead in lieu of. sandbags as they retreated, of thrusting back in sudden wasplike counter-attacks, and then restarting the slow, long retreat.
