There is no activity in Ypres and district, but in the northern part of West Flanders fighting has been resumed with, intense violence. The artillery fire on land is terrific, while British warships are throwing shells into the German batteries. The Germans, fearing the possibility of troops landing in their rear, have sent forces from the Yser and Ostend to Heyst and Zeebrugge, on the extreme north of the Belgian cosst. Many Germans are dying from disease, and numbers are deserting. The Germans also find it impossible to adequately feed their armies, and they are ill— . prepared for winter.
