EAST PRUSSIA

ever We're hurled back and prevented
from gaining further ground. An
immense loss was inflicted upon the
Germans, 100 of their dead being
found on the ground behind our
front trenches alone. The casualties
suffered by them in advancing to
our line under direct fire must have
been enormous. Our casualties also
were heavy. The action of our troops
on this, as well as previous occa-
sions, can not be praised too highly"
They say, however, that the Rus .
SLAMS are not to be tunrned from
the plan, which it is believed to be
an attack on Danzig. They argue
the Germans either must allow East
Prussia to be overrun a second time
or bring up achievements and that
thely can hardly weaken their army
along the Polish frontier, for that
would leave Posen and Silesia open
to invasion The allies naturally, are
hoping an effort will be made to re-
lieve East Prussia at a sacrifice to
the German armies in Belgium and
France.
In any fighting in their own coun-
try the Germans will have the ad-
vantage over the Russians, as they
have network of strategic railways
to move troops quickly and they use
motors to a larger extent than their
opponents.
Military men are watching opera
tons in this region with deepest in
terest In West Flanders the Ger
mans do not seem to have improved
their position to any marked extent.
In. fact, an unofficial report from the
north of France tonight says they
have again lost DiXmude, which they
took last Tuesday; that their at
tempts to break down British resist
ance around Ypres failed, and that
their attack in the vicinity of La
Bassee met with no greater success.
A German official report again says
the German attacks are progressing
and records the capture of some PR
soners. On the other hand, a French
official statement declares all Ger
man attacks have been repulsed and
that an advance has been made by
the allies nearly everywhere Vienna
admits the Austrians have evacuated
eastern Galicia, but an official state
ment says the Servian resistance has
been broken. The Austrians have
crossed the Danube driving the Ser
VANS back into their own country.
Vienna also reports the Austrians
have now turned their attention to
the Montenegrins, endeavoring to
force them back. According to a
Montenegrin report they have failed
Accounts from this part of the world
are so contradictory, however, that
the only thing clear is that the Aus
TRANS are sending south reinforce
ments, and have virtually cleared the
country of the enemy.
The Germans had not long in which
to congratulate themselves on the seiZ-
ure of the mass of ruins of the once
! ill-starred Dixmude. They were
SPRAYED with shrapnel and high ex-
plosuNe shells until determination
threatened them. The appearance OF
French marines in bayonet charge rap
| idly convinced them that the death rate
would be too high if they remained
Hence Dixmude is ours again.
THE Germans made slight advance
against Ypres but it is doubtful if they
hold the village of st. Eloi.
AT La Bassce the Germans are at
tempting to drive a wedge into the al
lied line by a heavy concentrated gur
fire. There has been a considerable
bulge in the line here for some time bu
the allies hold their position on eithel
flank"
