To-day's war news gives fresh indications of a 'pending change in 'tie German plan of campaign in. the Franco-Belgian theatre. Formidable field positions are being prepared in the vicinity of Waterloo, indicating a retreat from the front to strong defensive lines,'while there is also reported a significant movement towards ; Soissons, around which position, there has been experienced all along the most protracted struggle of the war, In the meantime, the Germans are en■gaging in a violent artillery attack on that portion, of the Allied lino which stretches from Nieuport to Ypres; their hold on the Yser is weakening, however.
