INTIMATIONS

Ypres remained ours, and Calais and ufumbered by five, perhaps seven, to Paris and the war were saved.

On October 25th every Held gun in the Expeditionary Force was placed on an allowance of ten shells a day: a moment whien, ns Major Corbett-Smith, says in The Murne-and After," a hundred shells a day, weal have been all too little. In Major Corbett-Smith's owb words-Theru were no more shells for the howitzers, and eighteen-pounders in France, and the reserve at bomo was practically ex- hausted."

The right of the German Army was to be turned; and with that object the British Expeditionary Force was transferred from the Aisne to Xpres

For the Germans bad failed to capturo Paris; and, with their constant readiness of resourty, had thought out a new plan.

If they could break through the Frazeo Belgian-British line that ran down frosn the sea to La Bassoe, they would not paly destroy our army; the way would be clear to Calais, Boulogne, all the northern cosit af France. The would
