Paris, Nov. 10. - Victories were
achieved by French and British armies
at points in the battle front from Dix.
nude, in Belgium, TO the right wing
of the French forces in Alsace.
Gains of Importance were made be
tween Dixmude and the river Lys,
where the allies drove home smashing
onslaughts after having defeated the
aggressive maneuvers of the Germans
Between DiXmude in Belgium and
the region of Armentieres in France
German columns of an estimated
strength of 100000 attempted three
main operations-to cross the User
canal at DiXmude, to drive the allies
from the fortified heights and woods
south and east of Ypres and to batter
through the French and British line
holding the river Lys and advancing
from Armentieres toward Lille.
The official reports of these battles
state that the German attacks were
repulsod and that the allies main.
tanned their ground between the Lys
and Langemarck and made an i'm
portant advance between Langemarck
and Dixmude.
The communiques assert that tn
allies have made slow progress all
along this line as the net result of
forty-eight hours of fighting.
Farther to the south, along the west
flank of the river Disc, a heavy fog
interfered with military activity, and
it appears that the conflict in this
gion has been much less violent than
for several days.
East of the Disc and northeast Of
scissors, along the Aisne, the allies
are reported by the government to
have continued their slow progress
and are strengthening positions wrost-
ed from the Germans in the past week.
On the rest of the battle line through
Rheims and the Argonne to Lorraine
there were no important movements
by either side. In Alsace the Germans
launched an attack against the pass of
Sainte Marie but were repulsed. The
official news indicates that the French
line between Verdun and Belfort is
effectively protecting the barrier for.
tresses and is maintaining foothold
in Alsace
The outstanding feature of the I'M
official reports is that the Germans are
beginning to send army corps to the
Russian. frontier and that there are
fresh indications that the Withdrawal,
of the German armies in southern
Belgium and northern France is yerv
near at hand.

In those eighteen days the grand
duke has driven them more than $50
miles, so that advance guards occupy
strategical positions over the frontier
of Posen and Silesia. This applies to
the operations of Russia's central
army, whose primary object is to
seize Posen and Breslau. To the north
in East Prussia and to the south along
the upper Vistula toward Cracow the
advances have been less rapid but
equally irresistible.
1t appears from the official reports
of the Russian general staff and from
the dispatches of correspondents Of
London newspapers that the German
troops, retire ting in the north center

outer defenses of the German frontier
and prepare to block the Russians
