WAR SUMMARY
BY J. W. T. MASON
Former London Correspondent
for the United Press.
New York, Oct. 15. vjeneral von
Boehm, coBimanding one of the kai
ser's armies in northern France, failed
in his efforts to block the southward
retreat of the allied forces from Os-.
tend, it was evident today.
The French occupation of
occupation of ipres
proves that the road Is open for these
i
sorely fatigued Belgians, with their
British reinforcements, to escape.
Ypres is 25 miles south of Ostend
and commands a junction of three or
four main highways from Ostend
south to the allies' military lines. Its ,
retention by the French is a threat j
against the southern flank of General
von Besseler'a German army. If the
Gallic forces can strike from Ypres:
toward the River Eys, which Von
Beseler is using as protection for his
left, the Germans will be forced to re
treat to avoid having heir wing
turned.
A Series of other similar strokes
and counter strokes are threatened
throughout the battle area in western
Belgium and northern France.
Sival Forces Nearly Equal.
From this give and take it appears
that the rival forces are about equal
in strength. Both are diviaeu. von
Besscler's victorious Antwerp army
has not "joined Von Boehm, to the
southward and, so far as known, the
Anglo-Belgian troops who fled the city
on the Scheldt have not yet united
with the rescuing .French corps.
If the British and Belgians are not
too much exhausted, they might, by
joining the French at Ypres, deliver
an attack in overwhelmingly superior
numbers against either of the two Ger
man commands. There is every indi
cation, however, that the Anglo-Belgian
army urgently needs time ior re
cuperation. It undoubtedly retains a
reserve of defensive strength but the
spirit for a determined offensive prob
ably must wait for a recovery from
the fatigue of nearly a foi tnignt's in- ,
cessant fighting.
- The Germans march to the tea will
give them no military advantage, if
the retreating allies escape. The most
they can accomplish by it from a strat
egic standpoint will be to force the
British to abandon Ostend, and perhaps
some of the northern French ports as
supply bases and choose others farther
to the southward.
Coast Occupation Impractical.
A German occupation of a North sea
or channel port, cannot threaten tl.e
English coast so long as the British
retain command ot the sea, rendering
it impossible lor German tians'.orts to
assemble for invasion, and seaboard
Zeppelin stations will be subject co de
struction by bombardment from the al
lies' warsiiips.
A permanent occupation of Belgian
and French coast towns, too, would se
been i i iously lengthen and weaken the tier-be-I
man batUe line, unless it coincided
with a retirement from the Uaiser'i
present position near the Aisne.
There may, however, be diplomatic
reasons for such a change in strategy.
When tlie time comes for peace nego
tiations, the Germans -vill be in a po
sition to demand much better terms if
they hold Belgian and French ports
than would be the case if they were in
occupation only of interior towns, j
since in the former instance Great ;
Britain, as well as ffrance, would be !
v'itally concerned, while in the Litter it i
would be only France1.
