[Illustration: AT YPRES, WITH THE BRITISH: THE FRENCH NAVAL BRIGADE
CHARGING.]

Much hard fighting on the Yser and elsewhere in West Flanders has fallen
to the lot of the French bluejackets of the Naval Brigade, a strong force
of whom were brought up from Brest to reinforce the Belgians in their
defensive battles near the coast after the retreat from Antwerp. Attacking
side by side with the British, they retook Ypres on October 13, and after
that held Dixmude for weeks.

HOUR.]

"The Kaiser," according to an American who was recently permitted to visit
the Imperial headquarters in a "small city" on the Meuse, is a good deal
altered in his appearance. "He wears a dirty green-grey uniform, and has
an intense earnestness of expression that seemed to mirror the sternness
of the times." He "lives in a little red-brick house such as one would
rent in a London suburb for L50."
