Left Flank Gains.
BY Franklin P. Merrick)

By Franklin P. Merrick)
Paris, Oct. 14.-That the flank
movement of the allies left wing is
making marked gains is indicated by
an official statement this afternoon
1t states that the Belgian town of
Ypres, 81 miles northwest of Lille
and SO miles south of Ostend, has
been occupied by British and French
troops. This announcement, which is
the first official statement that men
toned English troops as in operation
ir this section, shows that the allies
left wing has extended it's range of
work from France into Belgium The
official statement follows:
"On our left wing, as far as Disc,
operations are pursuing their normal
course.
"At the center, the progress of our
armies in the region of Barry au Bac
is confirmed.
'On our right wing there is nothing
new.
''In the Belgium theatre of war,
in the region of Client, some engage
ments took place the nights of Oc-
tober IL and 13 and during the day
of October 13, when some Anglo
French troops occupied Ypres."

Three Million Men
Lined Up For Battle
(By Francis l.. Murray

Petrograd, Oct. 14.-The censorship
curtain closed down today over great
tattle raging along the Vistula river
where more than 100000 Austro-
German and Russian troops are be-
heved to be engaged in one of the
most bloody conflicts recorded in his.
tory. The war office merely stated
that fighting had developed along the
entire front. No statement was made
as to whether the Russian forces or
their adversaries had gained an early
advantage in the battle.
The rapid approach of winter has
added new horror to the fighting in
the forests of Russia. A correspon-
dent Of the Novoe Vremya, who was
with Rennenkampff's army during the
fighting in Suwalki district, reports
Red Cross rescue parties searching in
dense underground of the Augustowo
forest for wounded found a number
of bodies partially eaten by wolves.
In this region are vast tracts that
never were trodden by man before the
battle that resulted in the retreat Of
the Germans.

French Denials.
(By Franklin P. Merrick)


Paris, Oct. 14.-The following off
cial denial of the German announce
ment of victory over two French cav
airy divisions, and other German
claims, was issued here today:
"While it is not our custom to re-
ply to the inaccuracy of the German
press, it seems proper to denounce as
false news that has been published
in certain German newspapers con-
cerning the pretended destruction of
two divisions of French cavalry. This
information is absolutely erroneous.
The truth is that certain forces Of
French and German cavalry, with
their supports, have been engaged for
several days along the front of La
Basse, Estairs and Bailleul. The
German cavalry is assuredly as per-
ceptible as our own. One of the Ger
man divisions suffered particularly
because it was pursued during one en-
tire day by our aviators, who did not
cease to throw bombs uopn them. An
ether case is the Germans announce
they are undertaking the investment
of Verdun. The Germans have not
succeeded up to the present time in
hurting themselves against the forti-
fled positions of Verdun. They have,
however, made two futile efforts to
envelop at considerable distance the
French forces which are operating
around Verdun.

Fatal Ending Comes
