Berlin, via London.--German gen.
eral headquarters reports as follows:
THE fighting on our right wing
made only very slight progress, ow-
ing to the u~nfavorable weather, but
In the course of a difficult prelimin-
airy encounter we captured several
hundred French and English soldiers
and two machine guns.
In the forest of Argonne we sue
ceeded in blowing up and capturing a
strong French position of support.
The report of the French that thew
had dispersed a German division at
Goincourt department of Meurthe-et-
Moselle) to the south of Larfal. is
an Invention. On the contrary, the
French suffered considerable losses
here, while We did not lose a single
man.

FIGHTING NEAR BETHUNE
Allies Claim to Have Prevented Ad-

er's Troops Hold Dixmude-cruiser
Emden Destroyed by Australian
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. in East Prussia.

Northern France, Nov. 13.-The
battle from Dixmude to Arras is ter
rife, writes a correspondent in the
field. Churches topple down and fac
tories burn with every fresh explo-
sion Of a shell. No tower which
might be used for observation is all
lowed to stand. Explosive shells are
fired at these observation points and
incendiary bombs are dropped on fac
tories.
The aeroplaneS are utterly unable
to face the westerly gales which
have followed the period of mist that
made them almost useless and helped
the attacking force to conceal its
place of concentration. At the same
time nearer to one another than at n
previous period.
Strong at Unexpected Points.
The tactical fighting has brought
out quite unexpected strength at par
ticular points of support. Owing to
the small detachments into which the
troops are divided the ground offers
natural places of concealment, and
with the protection of a wood or a
quarry a battery or two may find
itself unassailable.
Attacks a be organized indefinite
ly until the place becomes untenable
by reason of an advance in force by
either side.
The Germans never have shown
more amazing skill in the discovery
of such positions than in the last few
weeks. Their attacks from such CEN
tiers are delivered with great bravery.
Hard Battle Near Bethune.
A correspondent of the London
Times, describing a battle near Be
thune Tuesday night, says the allies
won a brilliant victory in that region.
He reports that the Germans ad-
vanced in the early hours of the morn
ing, taking advantage of darkness and
mist. They found their way barred
by barbed wire entanglements. The
British infantrymen responded with
heavy rifle fire.
Then artillery was hurried to the
front. Shell, shrapnel, machine guns
and rifles moved down the Germans,
cutting lanes in their ranks. When
the order was given to charge the
British answered magnificently, driv-
ing the Germans back at the point
of the bayonet and capturing four
small howitzers and a large number
Of prisoners.
With Dixmude in their possession,
however, the invaders are less than
fifty miles from Calais and much
nearer Dunkirk, and the fight they
have been putting up in the face of
tremendous losses seems to bear out
what had also been said, that they
will NOS abandon this struggle to
reach the coast unless they are ut
terly crushed.
The Germans r nc longer utiliz-
ing green troops in the West Elan
ders region, but have brought up the
pick of their army, including some
Prussian guards, who attempted an
offensive movement against the Brit
ish, but without success.
