THE GERMAN RETREAT. United Pke*» Association. Dunkirk, May 20. The Germans carried out a retreat across the Yser on Sunday night, and swiftly and secretly the French occupied the positions. On Monday the ground 'was littered with German dead. The enemy initiated a counter-attack on Monthly night. Their artillery rained shells by the hour. The French defended the positions with great coolness, and poured a galling lire on the advancing infantry, and drove them back. A Belgian success on the eastern bank north of Dixmnde jeopardises the Germans’ positions, and if the wedge is driven in the enemy’s hold on Dixmnde will be untenable. The Germans continue to shell Ypres, but do not show any disposition to attack. PRESENT BRITISH POSITIONS. (Received 8.45 a.m.) Dunkirk, May 20. Tlie British further advanced on Tuesday night at La Qninqne and Ruedouvert, and the troops have since been entrenching and consolidating the new positions. The weather continues unfavorable.
