PARIS, xVovemiber 25,

An official review of six weeks'' battle in Flanders has been distributed amongst the troops. It states that it resulted in the failure of the German attemipt to outflank and break through the Allies' lines. The Germans massed fifteen army corps under the Crown Prince of Bavaria and Generals yon Fabeek, yon Deinuling and the Duke of Wurtem.- l--berg. The allied forces were not as numerous as the Germians, but were considered sufficient. The Kaiser came to the front and arranged to proclaim the annexation of Belgium at Ypres. The review shows a generous: appreciation of the help of the British con. but the chief .burden fell on the French troops commanded by General Fooh under Field Marshal JofCre's orders with. General Castlenau comr commanding at Arras 'and General Durbal the Belgian forces, which also included French cavalry, territorials, marines and fusiliers.
