Allies’ Patrols. In western Belgium patrols of the allies are reported to have penetrated into the region of Ostend. This re port, if correct, would indicate that the Germans have abandoned all attempts to proceed along the coast and are to day concent: ting their attacks on Ypres, which is said to have been so devastated by artillery fire that the city has been deserted by its civilian poopulation.
