WAR NEWS IN BRIEF.

This afternoons official report
from Paris says that the allies re-
pulsed German attacks between
Arras and the Oise, and that cav
airy engagements continue in the
region of La Bassee, Estaires and
Hazebrouck.
Special attention is directed to
Ostend. There have assembled
the greater part of the Belgian
army and about two-thirds of the
British forces that escaped from
Antwerp. It is believed that Ger
many is pushing forward to at
tack the city with the hope of
capturing and using the port in
her operations against England.
Today's reports indicate that
the German cavalry advance is
less than thirty miles distant
from Ostend.
Little is known of the situation
in the eastern theater of the war.
Petrograd is silent on recent de-
velopments. The Russian war
Office explains this silence on the
ground of strategy. Vienna
claims that the Russian attack
on Przemysl, the strong fortress
in Austrian Galicia, has failed.
Berlin asserts that the Russian
advance on the East Prussian
frontier has been checked, while
the Germans are steadily working
eastward in Russian Poland.
German airmen dropped two
bombs in Paris this morning. The
missiles struck in the yards of the

The Athletics. champions of the
American Base Ball League, twice van
Quished by the Boston Braves. went
to grips today. with the National
League winners in the third battle OF
the world series Some 81. 900 wildly
enthusiastic spectators saw the Ath-

Boston ball field to stave off a third
defeat, which would all but end their
chances of bearing off the world cham
pionship.
The Bostons, inspired by thousands OF
the home folks that filled Fenway
Park, tried for a third victory with
the same keen pursuit of conquest
that enabled them twice to toppie
over the American Leaguers on their
own bai1iwick.
We've got the jump on the Athletics

speed to catch US now," said Manager

Capt. Ira Thomas of the Athletics, "and

third straight beating"
Boston was plain base ball crazed to-
day. Hundreds swarmed all night at
the gates of Fenway Park. Within an
hour after the unreserved stands were
flung open every seat was taken and
scores lined the backfield fences and
pressed against a guard fence erected
around the rear of the outfield. Once
the crowd broke the wooden barrier
and mounted police had to drive the
people back into the inclosure. A force
Of carpenters repaired the fence. All
this was three hours before game time.
When the crowd was not surging 1t
