Belqians Re.take Yser Canal.


 LONDON, Oct. 27.-The allies sent strong achievements to King Albert and the Belgians then took the of fensive and have re-taxen the Yser canal, inflicting terrible losses upon the Germans, who were bayoneted and killed almost to man. The Germans had crossed the canal and were un- able to return to the supporting force on the east side and the force was cut to pieces.
 Canal choked With Dead.
 The Yser canal is running red with the blood of the dead and the num- Der of dead in the canal is so great that the waters have been forced ov- CT the banks. The German loss is estimated at fully 10000 dead.
 Beigians Have Lost Heavily.
 In the past ten days fighting the Belgian army, which numbers be- tween 6O,OOO and SO,OOO troops. have lost 10000 men killed and wounded. The fighting in Belgium has been the most desperate of the war to date and many men have been slaughtered.
 Belgian Cannon outranoed.
 The Belgian loss was largely due to the fact that they are using cannon that is outranged by the German field guns and until the arrival of British and French guns the Germans had 1t all their own way. but the French seventy-fiver is stated by army offi- cers to be the best field gun in the world and makes short work of the German batteries when they are brought into the open. The Krupp howitzers, however, have the range of the French guns, but are less ser viceable because of the great weight and high angle, which make them impossible of use at short range. British Fleet Withdraws From Coast.
 The admiralty has announced that the British warships which have been aiding the land forces along the Bel gian coast have withdrawn. It is believed that the action was made necessary fearing a submarine raid and also that the German Zeppelins might drop bombs upon the big super dreadnoughts, which must be kept in. tact for the expected assault by the German fleet.

NAVY SOON ID TEST
 MATANUSKA COAL

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-The navy department is about to begin anoth- CT test of Alaskan coal to determine. if possible, its fitness for use by ships of war.

The tests will consist of an uninterrupted per iod of seven days in port. when steam will not be put upon the main en- zines for any purpose; a 24'hour run st sea with not more than three fourths boiler power. at . speed of about fifteen knots: . four-hour run under full boiler pressure at twenty knots, and a forty-eight hour run at ten knots.
