State Department Worried Over Status of Citizens in
 Countries Where Natural-

Washington, October 14-Consider- able concern was manifested at the state department today over the status of American citizens, both native and naturalized who were caught in bel ligerent countries at the outbreak of the European war and drafted for mili- tary service because their fathers were born subjects of such countries This has occurred in countries with which the United States has no naturaliza- tion treaties and has called forth this warning, issued to foreign born ele- ments in the United States by the de- partment against visits to Europe at this time:
 Held for Service
 The department of state has been in formed that persons born in this coun- try of Italian parents, when they re- turn to Italy are held for military serv- ice in that country Although such persons are born American citizens un- der the law of this country they are also born Italian subjects under Ital- ian laws, thus having a dual nation aiity. For this reason the Italian gov ernment claims their services for the Italian army when such persons are found in Italy
 The department also is informed of numerous eases where Italians who have been naturalized as citizens of the United States, and have subsequently, returned to Italy, have been held in that country for military service. There is no treaty of naturalization between the United States and Italy and under Ital-

A few days ago German cavalry were fighting as far west as Haze brouch and Cassel, but today, accord ing to the French official communica- tion issuedBlate today, the front of this battle extends from La Bassee through Estaires to Bailleul on the Belgian frontier, while across the border the allies have occupied Ypres. This is a distinct gain for the allies and shows that the German attempt to work around their left has failed, the German right being bent back toward Lille and Courtrai, both of which places the invaders hold with strong forces.
 DECISIVE RESULT
 LOOKED FOR SOON :. It is here the heavy blows which both sides hope will bring about a decisive re- suit in the long drawn out battle will be struck. It is for this reason that the Germans will be able to make their way to Ostend, although even there some troops have been left to inhict what dam age they can before joining the larger body further south
 The censorship has prohibited any mon tion of the operations to the north of Ar ras which probably is responsible for the belief that the allies have prepared what one military critic declares is "a smash ing blow, which will be the more crush ing in its effect the longer it is delayed
 Of the recent fighting elsewhere the French communication simply says that the operations are proceeding normally on the left wing as far as the Disc, that the allies progress in the Berry -au- Bac re- sgion Is confirmed and that on the right wing there is nothing new.
 For the first time the French general stan takes notice of and denies some claims put forth by the Germans. It is denied that two French cavalry divisions have been destroyed and it is asserted. on the other hand. that aviators. with French cavalry, Inflicted heavy losses on etne German cavalry It is declared also that the Germans have not come into touch with the fortress of yerdun and that attempts to do so have failed, while in their effort to cross the Mouse at St.
