London. Nov (s:ib y. m.)--No
decision has yet been reached In tho
battle IN the sand dunes of west
Flanders. and the opposing armies
now stand virtually as they have
stood for many days.

No Success nj Ypres.
Around Yprcs, the Gerinun often
sivo, according TO the accounts OF the
allies. has met with no success. In
fact, II seems that all along the linc
there has been merely repetition of
artillery duels, and infantry attacks
and counter-attacks. which some
times succeed but more often do not.
On the frontier east more sweep
ing movements are being made by
tho opposing armies. The Russians
from all .geports. have driven back

from cast Prussia and are now
STRENGTHENING out their line for a more
vigorous offensive against the Aus
trians who have been trying to beat
their left wing in Galicia.
Hope Lies In Russia.
Il Is to the battles In these regions
that the British military men are now
looking for they declare that II the
Russians can keep up their success
ful lighting against the Austrians and
Germans, relief Will come to the all
lied armies In the west because Of
the necessity for Il withdrawal of Ger
man army corps from France and
Belgium to protect silesia and east
Prussia.
These military observers express
the belief that the Turkish threat
against the Russian Caucasus Will
weaken the Russian arnies by with
drawals from Poland. but the Rus
sian authorities say that the advent
of Turkey into the war already has
been discounted and that they have
sufficient troops to deal with Turkey
on the spot.
Conflicting Reports.
The first reports OF the lighting be-
tween the Russians and the Turks arc
as conflicting as were the first Aus
trian and Russian accounts of the
In Galicia. Each contender
claims to have invaded the Others
territory and TO have defeated his
frontier armies. These fights. howev-
or, probably have been only advance
guard affairs and II IL thought here
that some time may elapse before
pitched battle takes place.
