Georges, Westende, and also Bixschoote, Langcamark, Passchcudaclc. and Morsledo. Tho British are patrolling tho village of Westroosebeekto, near Passchendaelo, but the definite occupation of the village depends on the issue of the fighting in tho woods of the southwest. Tho Germans are now concentrating as many men as possiblo to regain tho territory lost. North-cast of -Ypres, says t«o correspondent, the Allies.are steadily advancing towards tho lloulers-Mflnin railway.
