Paris, Nov. 16.
The communique issued this afternoon states that along the Yeer Canal to above Dixmude there was nothing but a simple cannonade yesterday. There have been further floodings, and the country submerged now extends from south of Dixmude to within five kilometres of Bixschoote. The enemy's troops endeavoured to cross the canal between Dixmude Canal and East Bixschoote; they have been wuned back beyond the bridges. A German regiment was annihilated south of Bixschoote.
Two German attacks southward of Ypres were repulsed. In the evening we assumed the offensive and recaptured the points d'appui which the-enemy took days ago.
Between the Lys and the Oise only small engagements took place. We made partial progress with our approach works.
There have been uneventful cannonades along the Aisne and in Champagne. The enemy re-attacked St. Hubert but without success.
A German coup-de-main in the Forest of Apremont failed.
