Germans Claim Yser Bank Abandonment Amid Ypres Push
Berlin and allied bulletins report German forces abandoning the left bank of the Yser and retreating northeast toward Calais while claims of Allied setbacks near Ypres and Arras spark a volatile report cycle. The center shows some progress near the Aisne as German assaults falter north of the Lys.
