London, Sept. 14. Gen. Haig
reported "nothing of special in

Unofficial information has been
rife during the past forty-eight
hours that both the" British and
French armies on the western
front are feeling their way prepa
ratory to another drive.
The one dread they have of
making too quick an advance is
the news brought down by the
airmen who state that a consider
able portion of Belgium is being
evacuated of civilian .population
preparatory to an extensive rear
move of the army, and further
that there appears to bo vt on
foot by the Germans a svstem of
flooding the land, which would
