a change is impending in the pro

where, for weeks, tle hostile armies

the senator from r. W Patterson a
passenger on the Metapan, who said
officers of the Condo forced five Ger
mans on the vessel to sign parole
agreements binding them not to fight
against the allies in the European

The letter set forth that the Condo

Two armed officers and two sailors

Mr.. Patterson said the CAPTAIN and

London.-The third act of the war
in the western theater has reached
critical point The first act was the
German attempt to sweep through Bel
GUM and northern France upon Paris
The second act was the offensive as
sumed by the allies after General Won
kluck has stretched his army on the
German west wing over long line Of
communications that he could not
hold. The allied army pressed the
German forces back toward the Bel
gian border, compelling the entire line
from the eastern pivot of Verdun to
recede in order to maintain an un-
broken front and a possible line OF
retreat
The third act is the attempted adj
vance of the Germans along the coast
of Belgium and northern France, ap-
parently with the design of establish
ing themselves in the channel forts,
from which they could menace Eng
land.

German Artillery at the Front.


German Artillery at the Front.
The extreme western fighting line
now reaches from Armentieres
through Roulers to Nieuwport, which
is on the coast. about halfway be-
tween Ostend and Dunkirk. According
to the French official announcement
German heavy artillery, presumably
used in the siege of Antwerp, has
bombarded the front from Nieuwport
to Vladslo. which is about 10 miles
from the coast
The allies also have made progress
eastward from a point south of Ar
mentieres toward Lille on a line run
ming roughly to Arras. The report
tells of houseto-house fighting. in
which the allies are advancing The
battle has ragged around Arras with
out respite for 10 days and on the
part of the allied troops, with a per-
severance and a spirit which never
for moment have been relaxed"
The German official report covers
these operations more tersely. 1t says
that the attacks to the west and north
west of Lille have been repulsed with
heavy losses to the allies.
Situation Still in the Dark
The situation still is so much in the
dark that it is impossible to judge of
the exact trend of events.
In the western field of action. it
appears inevitable that there must
soon be some decisive result THE
flatness of the country seems to have
made it impossible for the two armies
to entrench and face each other with
out important changes in position for
weeks as they have done across north
ern France
The announcement that the Ger
mans have laid siege to the nelghOor-
hood of Belfort may mean that they
plan to attempt an advance on both
ends of what during the past month
has become virtually a long fortified
line.
German official reports say that the
exodus from Ostend is being repeated
in the flight of the inhabitants from
Dunkirk and Boulosne. While con
firmation has not been received here.
it is possible that the proximity of
the Germans has created panic at
those ports.
British Navy Helping Land Forces.
BY reaching to the seaboard, the al
lied forces have established close con
tact with the British navy, which is
on the extreme left of the line, and
seems, from the London view. for the
moment to block effectually further
German effort to turn this wing
That the Germans may have grasp
ed this is perhaps indica-eo IN the
otherwise unexplained appearance of
four of their torpedo boat destroyers
Saturday off the Dutch coast south
ward bound. 1t is suggested that the
object was for the destro-ers 20 con.
voy submarines which would dispute
the command of the sea on the Bel
gian littoral.
Should the German navy undertake
this venture, it would be confronted
with much the same proposition as
has met the British fleet since the
commencement of the war. and it
would assume the same risks of col
liding with mines heretofore faced
by the British alone, because the Brit
ish mine field stretches along the
British coast from Ostend southwark

not now be turned, the only alterna-
