GERMANS IN LORRAINE
BLOCK FRENCH ADVANCE
Strong Fortifications Erected Where
Invasion Was Planned.
LONDON. Sent. q.


All reports received from the battle
fields of France Indicate that the blood
lest conflict of the war maybe in progress
today. The War Office refuses all com
ment except to say that the British and
allied lines are holding, and that the sit
uation is unchanged
Unable to shell the Allies from their
positions on the left centre, the Germans
have resorted to the bayonet. The
French and British troops have met them,
steel to steel, and IL is certain that enor-
nous losses have been sustained.
The German attacks have been re-
pulsed. 1t is declared, and though the
casualties of the Allies may be stagger-
ing, the losses of the troops of the
Kaiser endeavoring to pierce the allied
lines must have been even heavier.
The advance of the French lines TO Las
signy has revived the belief here that
the determined movement to envelop the
army of General Won Kiuk may yet be
successful. In spite of a counter attack,
which reports indicate the Germans in
stituted, the French lines we're extended
eight miles west of Noyon evidently as
part of a movement toward Roye
bringing the Allies nearer a position for
a successful movement upon the German
rear.
The original line of the French often
sive into Lorraine is now blocked by
the Germans. This is indicated by the
information which has reached the
are being erected around Define and
south of Chateau Salins. This was the
line of the French advance in the in-
tial movements, and the German forces
are reported as being strongly en-
trenched there.

Paris. Nov. 3.--That the allies hold
positions In western Belgium ana
northeastern France that are prLc-

made today by French officers who
have just returned from tn front on

tho German offensive no matter how
aga ressive will be unable To break
through the allied front. The fury OF
the attacks around Ypres Is now be-
ileved to have been inspired by the
presence OF Emperor William. who is
reported to have visited the battle
zone To infuse spirit into the soldiers.
