The Belgians and French on the other side of Ypres

have also done exceedingly well during the week. The French bare won very important positions on rho north, or German side, of the Yser Canal. Steenstraate, a village in this region which has been carried by the French, is declared by the special correspondent of the Times to be almost as crucial a point as Hill 60. In his opinion, now that Hill 60 is in our hands and Steenstraate in those of the French, the Ypres salient cannot be wrested from us. The site of the Belgian success was north of Dixmude, also on the Yser, towards the southern end of the flooded area. Working from one island to another, the Belgians have persistently gained ground.
