the otherwise unexplained appear-

ers Saturday, off the Dutch coast,
bound south. It Is suggested that
the destroyers were to convey the
submarines, should they try to drivo
the British fleet from Its present po
sition.
Should the German navy under
take this venture, It would be con
fronted with the same proposition
that the British fleet has met since
the war commenced, as the British
mine Held stretches along the Bel
gian coast, from Ostend, southward.
If, as the Allies claim, their left
cannot now be turned, the Germans
lace the alternative of breaking
through the front.
That they have made a forward
movement Is evident, not only from
the newspaper dispatches but from an
official communication from Paris
Saturday, which stated that the Bel
gians had repulsed several attempts
to cross the Yzr river.
