0,000 Invaders.

[From the Bulletin Francais.]

Two million men were engaged on the German side in October
and November when the Kaiser's forces hammered at the
Allies' lines in an attempt to break through to Dunkirk and
Calais. Around Ypres alone the invaders' losses were more
than 120,000 men. These statements are made in a
semi-official account of the fighting in Flanders, which
takes up three pages of the Bulletin Francais, copies of
which reached THE NEW YORK TIMES on Jan. 11, 1915. As
translated, the article in the December Bulletin appears
below.

The hour has arrived when the balance of these last weeks can be
established and the results clearly seen. The formidable attempt by
the Germans, first to turn the left of ourselves and our allies, and
then, that having been prevented, to break through, has entirely
failed. By the effort the enemy tried to repair the defeats of the
Marne, and they have only added another check to the failure of
September.

Meanwhile, in order to invade our territory, according to their old
plans the Germans have neglected nothing. On the front that extends
from Lys to the sea they massed, in the beginning of October, fifteen
army corps, including four divisions of cavalry. Their army heads, the
Crown Prince of Bavaria, Gen. Deemling, the Duke of Wuerttemburg, have
multiplied their exhortations and appeals to the troops in the effort
to maintain the morale of their men.

We have found their orders on dead officers and prisoners, and always
they are the same. It is a question of "a decisive action against the
French left" or a question of "piercing the line at Dupres or Ypres,"
for, as one of these orders stated, "the decisive coup remains to be
struck, and to accomplish this the allied line must be pierced." This,
the orders stated, had to be accomplished at any price and in all
haste. They wanted a decision in the western theatre of war before
turning to the east.

Then the Emperor himself was with his troops, hoping to animate the
German soldiers with his presence. He announced to them that he would
be at Ypres on Nov. 1, and that was the date fixed for the annexation
of Belgium. In fact, everything had been taken into account, except,
of course, the victorious resistance of the allied armies.

To make possible this effective resistance it was necessary for the
Allies to oppose the enemy with a force which if not equal to th
