AT THE BATTLE FRONT. october
u. Via Paris. October 13.-The battle
field northwest OF Lille was the point
of greatest interest in today's continu-
alton of the great conflict. which al
ready has lasted twenty mine days. The
cavalry of both armies has swept about
the country for days, seeking to go
through or around the opposing lines,
and everywhere has encountered the
forces of the enemy.
A successful ruse, carried out by a
detachment of French infantry in the
vicinity of Lens. is related in the orders
OF the day. Having been ordered to
hold position, the small squad did 80
throughout the day. but at dusk the de-
tachment was compelled to retire be-
fore an overwhelming force of Ger
mans. Reaching a country estate, the
French commander placed a number of
men in the last outlying houses. with
orders to remain there until they heard
the bugle call. The rest of the party
took up position a quarter of a mile
further on in the open country.
