Make Violent Attack
on Allied Lines.
CALAIS STILL THE
GERMAN OBJECTIVE
Teutons in East TO Stay on De-
fensive Until Port Falls.

London, Nov 2.-Alternate advances
and retirements in the battle line ex-
tending from the North sea to the
German frontier again are chronicled
in official statements of the struggle
in the western arena of the European
war. The Germans again have at
ment on the entire front from Nieu-
port to Arras and have delivered
violent attacks at other points of the
line of battle.
From Nieuport to the canal of La
Bassee there has been alternate move
ments of advance and retirement dur
lng the last twenty-four hours, ac-
ording to the French statement. To
the south of Nieuport the Germans,
who had occupied Rampikapelle, were
lriven out by a counter attack.
Unofficial reports emanating from
Holland INDICATE that German re-
tirement from the coast south of Os-
tend is imminent and it again is re-
ported that the invaders have evacu-
ated Ostend. These rumors, how
ever, re not confirmed from Berlin,
which alleges some advance along
the Ypres line.
French Admit Losses.
The French admit the loss of some
points of support to the south of
Ypres, notably Hollebecke and Zand-
worde, but reports some p-ogress to
the east of Ypres, in the direction of
Paschendaele.
The reported retreat of the Ger
mans across the River User, in the
face of stiff cannonading by the al
lies, has done much to improve the
spirits of the French, who believe it
marks the first stages of an impend-
ing victory
Much interest also is taken In the
Ypres. Ypres, according to military
men, is the center of the German po-
sition between Lille and the North
sea and unless assured of its posses
sion they are inclined to believe the
movement with Calais as the German
objective will fail III Ypres is con-
quered the Germans say it will open
the route to the heights of Stomer,
twenty-five miles from Calais.
Important positions between Nieu-
port and Ypres are now held by the
allies.
Lille Said to Be Free.
The French say they have repulsed
with heavy losses to the invaders all
attacks between La Bassee canal and
Arras. The city Of Lille is declared in
special dispatches again to be free OF
German troops and its citizens are so
confident the Germans will not return
that plans are being made to resume
the usual civic functions.
That Germany by no means has
given up it's determination to take
Calais is indicated by the significant
report from Berlin, by way Of Copen-
hagen, that the German general staff
has decided that the army in Poland
shall fall back to the frontier of Sile-
sia and remain there on the defensive
until the battle in Flanders ends with
the capture OF Calais.
Such movement would release
three or four army corps to be trans
ferred from Silesia to reinforce the
German lines In Belgium.
One report OF the evacuation Of Os-
tend by the Germans. which is not
confirmed, says the Germans have re-
tired to Zeebrugge, where they are
placing heavy guns, with a view to
utilizing this place as a naval base.

The Sundry Civil Bill.

important projects being provided for, in

all is the grant of 100000 for the Lin

delays has been started and will call for
annual appropriations without remission

Waiting on Carranza.

formal statement from the constitution
alist leaders in Mexico regarding their
participation in the conference which
seeks a solution of the veXatious prob
lem in that republic From day to day
some positive announcement from Car

ing, though unveriried reports have been
received indicating that the constitution
alist chief scorns the proposal to take
part in conference which may not yield
him the domination over Mexican affairs
tor which he has been striving for year.
Carranza is about to visit Torreon, where
he will confer with Villa, and on the out
come of this conference much will de-
pend. 1t is known that the relations be-
tween the two men are severely strained
and a break between them is by no means
unlikely. Such rupture would seriously
complicate the situation, already SO diff
cult, by confronting the mediators with
an additional factor of possible disturb
ance. MEANWHILE an awkward situation
arises with reference to the deportation
OF arms from this country for the aid of
the constitutionalists, which is said to be
regarded by the mediators as inimical to
the chances of early adjustment. No
way has been found to prevent this traffic
