The above is a plan showing the areas most affected in the present hostilities between the British, French and Belgian troops and the German forces. Latest advions are to the effect that the great battle continues all along the line. The allies, having repulsed all the enemy's attacks, have taken the offensive at various points on the Left Wing: The Belgians are occupying strong positions on the Nethe, having repulsed two attacks with heavy losses to the Germane.
