There were further indications to-

ALLIES FALL BACK UNDER
FIRE OF ENEMY; KAISER'S
ESOCCUPY DIXMUDE
French Official Statement Contains Admission That Set
back Has Occurred; Small Belgian Town Few Miles
Northeast of Nieuport Wrested From Germans; Nei-
ther Side Claims Important Changes in Situation.

The German war machine has bat
tered its way into the Belgian town of
DlNmude. To-day's official French
statement contains the admission that
the allies were obliged to fall back
from this point of vantage in the great
battle for possession of the eastern
shore or the British Channel AS an
offset the French war office states that
the allies forces have advanced along
the North Sea coast, pushing back the
Germans and taking Lombaertzyde, a
small Belgian town few miles north
east of Nieuport.
The warning nations awaited with
Keen suspense the outcome of the
struggle In Belgium, which for the
moment overshadows the conflicts on
the many other fields of battle. From
neither point came reports of impor-
tant changes in the situation.
The capture of Dixmude was the
first indication that the new attack of
the Germans. described as their su-
preme effort and as probably marking
turning point in the war had
brought definite results. Between Dix
nude and Ypres. which lies to the
south close to the French border, the
lighting had been most intense. since
the Germans elected at the opening of
the week to begin the new onslaught
with the help of their reinforcements
of fresh troops and new artillery. ON
october 15, during the advance on Os-
tend. the Germans occupied Dixmude,
but later were compelled to fall back.
The allies gained possession of the
town temporarily. but their presence
there was challenged repeatedly by
the Germans, resulting in some of the
most important and sanguinary fight
ing or the war. Whether the German
victory will exert an important in
nuence on the outcome is not as yet
disclosed.
No Change i'm Other Parts
Along the remainder Of the battle
line. says the French war office, there
is no change, except for slight prog
ress by the allies at few points. The
Berlin view of the situation, however,
is optimistic. Comment Is made there
OF the use of the expression good
advances" in the latest official German
reports concerning the fighting in the
west, being the first occasion on which
such terms have been employed in this
connection.
Paris also is hopeful as to the out
come in Belgium. Military critics
there take the view that the Germans
