WAR MOVES SHOW GERMANS
PLAN DRIVE TO BOULOGNE
Advance on Calais and Dunkirk Apparently Abandoned
for Present-Kaser's Forces Struggle in
Net of Canals
By A MILITARY EXPERT

The drive of the Germans In Belgium,
now under the Duke of wurttemberg,
toward Calais and Dunkirk apparently
has been diverted and 1t now seems to
be their intention to push directly on
to Boulogne, further to the south, in
stead. They will probably throw their
main weight on the Dixmude-Ypres line.
The Dukes order that the army under
his command must hack its way through
to the Straits of Dover at ell costs will
stands, but the objective has been some-
what changed
Tho Germans discovered they have in
front Of them on the coast route
stretch of country every inch of which
they would have to carry by assault,
end their plan to hack their way across
It to get two very strongly fortified
cities apparently has been abandoned.
The proposed line of advance now seems
to be further to the th-southwestward
along between the River User and
Ypres Hazebrouok-st. Omer road and
the first objective is BouloBne and the
open undefended town.
On the Dixmude-Ypres front II is stat
ed that the Germans are preparing to
throw $4,000 men, and 1t is certain that
when the attack Is made concerted
action in support will take place from
the Lille district.
1t was at Boulogne that Napoleon
waited for an opportunity which never
came to invade England and the adj
vance on and the taking of that town Is
the scheme which naturally appeals to
the Kaiser.
The Duke of Wurttemberg therefore
will attempt to push back the allies and
thus, 30 he hopes. be able to walk into
Boulogne and later into CafNls and Dun
kirk. He will attempt to reduce those
strongholds with heavy artillery and
with the army flushed with the triumph
of having reached the Straits of Dover.

PARIS REPORTS GAINS NEAR
YPRES, ARRAS AND CENTRE

reported to be on the way TO the French
and Belgian coasts to form an unbroken
line from Dunkirk to Zeehrugge, a dis
tance OF more than 10 miles along the
North Sea.
on the line between Cambrin and Arras,
where the Allies have been engaged in
night and day attacks against the Ger
mans, there have been fierce assaults in
the region of Nilmy and Souchs. Both
these places have been damaged by
artillery fire. Fighting has been In
progress along this mighty battle line
for Il days and still the main lines
OF both armies are intact.
In the vicinity Of St Mihel, the French
are attacking with more vigor than ever
to dislodge the Germans from the posi-
tion which they took UP on the Meuse
Although outnumbered by the French the
Germans are putting UP a gallant de-
tense.
1t is asserted by some military experts
in Paris that the second big issue Of the
war-the attempted seizure of the North
Sea coast by the Kaiser-has been frus-
trated. The first was the attempted cap.
ture OF Paris.
However, the outcome In the western
theatre OF war especially In the north
ern sphere OF operations Is still in doubt
particularly so on account of the fresh
troops with which both armies have
been strengthened.

| PARIS, Oct. pa small contingent =,
Germans have succeeded, after terrible
devastation in their ranks, in crossing tbs
User, but instead of being an advantage
to them It is rather a danger az may be
shown before long.
| 1t is not sufficient in such ground n
have crossed river, stream or canal, for
the country Is nothing but n network ~
these. An army must avoid having its
back UP against one OF these streams.
As It now is, the Germans everywhere
are in danger of being driven into the
canals or waterways, and losing all tbeir
men and guns II they expect to be abIe
to carry on a warfare of trenches there
AS they did for a month in the valley Of
the Asne, they will again be mistaken
as in the French and Belgian Flanders
the ground is so wet that trenches three
feet deep have foot and a half of water
in them during the night.
To dig deep trenches, therefore. IA i'm
possible. The Germans apparently hav.
already realized It, and in a part Of the
country have had recourse to a new linz
of tactics, which is to shelter themselves
behind houses In some places long.
straight rows of workmen's cottages, eS.
pecially near coal mines, have been favor
able to this plan.
On several occasions throughout thss.
critical days II looked as II the Allies
must fall back and abandon the line of
the Yser Fighting along the whole line
has been of the most severe character
and losses are very heavy.
Monday afternoon events took n much
more favorable turn. The Germans en-
tirely failed to follow up their early
successes, and have been again driven
back across the User. Their furious at
tacks on the centre of the line nj
Pervyse, between Nieuport and Dixnude
also failed. Sunday night one German
regiment did succeed in passing through
wornout troops in front of Dixmude and
actually entered the town. Here they
were caught in close formation by ma.

General Punishment.
PETROGRAD, Oct. %.

Because of the activities Of German
and Austrian spies in Russia, the Gov
ernment has ordered that all subjects of
Austria and Germany must leave this
city and other districts within two weeks.
It is known that many secrets relating
to the military establishment have been
revealed to Germany since the war began,
and in many instances the German COM
manders have known what Russian
troops were at the front before that
knowledge has been given to the people
OF Petrograd.
German claims that cholera and dysen-
terry have broken out in the Russian army
are officially denied. II is stated that the
arrangements for caring for the Russian
soldiers are unsurpassed.
