All reports here are that the Allies have successfully withstood repeated and violent attacks. The official statement of the Belgian general staff indicates a shift in the scene of the German attack from the north coast, where they fought so hard and stubbornly to the vicinity of Ypres. This region it is declared, already has been the scene of violent attacks and counter-attacks in which both sides lost heavily. The expectation here is that the Ypres front now will be the storm center of the fighting, for a time at least, as the German objective appears to be the route to Saint Omer, in the department of Pascalais, twenty-two miles southeast of the port of Calais. The news of the french success around Ste. Marie-Aux-Mines and St. Die, in the Vosges region, was eager ly received here. The developments in this quarter assured the French of a solid position in a difficult region where, it is expected, they will win a greater success. President Poincare's visit to the battlefield in West Flanders where. at Fumes, while practically under fire, he and King Albert of Belgium reviewed the French and Belgian troops, caused some fears for his safety, but also admiration for his bravery. The President and Belgian King, together with the French Minister of War,. Alexandre - M U lerand, reviewed the troops from the town hall at Fumes whilea short distance away the railway station was under the heavy shell fire of the German artillery.
