SEVERE ENGAGEMENT
ON BELGIAN BORDER
Teutons Assume Offensive, but
French Claim Victories,

London, Oct. 22.-While England
paid homage to Nelson on the ami
versary of the battle of Trafalgar the
forces of Germany and the allies con
tinued to fight back and forth along
the battle line in France and Belgium,
to the south from trenches, woods
and villages, and to the north over a
web of waterways, the presence of
which seems likely to give the strug.
gle there the name of the Battle of
the Canals.
1t was a strange coincidence that
Britons learned on Trafalgar day for
the first time officially that the Brit.
ish fleet is cooperating with the al.
lied army on the French coast
What units of the feet are harbored
in the Straits of Dover, at times
throwing shells into the German col
umns operating on the French side
of the waterway, are not known, but
the presence of gunboats has been
mentioned, which upholds the theo
ries advanced soon after the Ger
mans took Ostend that the British
navy has taken charge of the extreme
left of the allied line
Sea Mastery New Factor.
The power of the British fleet and
Englands mastery over the sea are
slowly becoming more and more fac
tors In the great war. England has
been fretting in the face of a stu
tion which so far has precluded any
general engagement with the German
feet. Thus the mention of British
ships as being effective off the Bel
gian coast is hailed with particular
public satisfaction
A decided bend has been made in
the German line in the neighborhood
of Roulers, as compared with the line
from Ostend through Ypres to Lille
Official advices indicate that alons
the whole western front the Germans
have assumed the offensive.
On the allies left wing news dis
patches would indicate the allies are
doing more than acting merely on the
defensive, notably near Ostend.
French Tell of Gains.
The French official statement says
the attacks by the Germans on Nieu
port, Dixmude and La Bassee were
repulsed by the allies with great en-
ergy. The statements say at othel
points the situation is without notable
change. Berlin officially reports tha
German troops advancing along the
coast from Ostend met hostile forces
near Nieuport, on the User river, ant
adds that west of Lille, where fight
ing has been in progress since Sun
day, the attacks of the allies were re
pulsed with heavy losses to th'
enemy.
The impression grows that the Ger
mans are determined to add Dunkirl
to the line Of seaports now held alons
the Belgian coast and that the allies
are making desperate efforts to hur
back the invaders. Reports COMING
from Holland declare the Germans
have been repulsed six miles from Os
tend and that guns are heard neal

He stopped to look at the man and
found no sign of life. He loosened
the collar and clothing and felt over
the heart. This was enough for the
crowd. Instantly, almost miracul-
ously, the lamp standard was sur
rounded by an eager, chattering mob
of hundreds. There were bare-head-

gowns, men in evening clothes, or

boys and char-women, rubbing ell
bows in the common bond of curios-
ity. who is he? What is he? What
happened Is he dead? Was it taxi;

queries came from everywhere. And
in answer there were a hundred
wrong explanations. Nobody really
knew what had happened, for the
street car was gone and nobody had
any idea of the mans identity.
Suddenly a little man with chin
whiskers wormed his way important

BY CARLTON TEN EYCK

New York, Feb. Ito, why should
the spirit of mortal be proud? This
thought came home to many a
Broadwayfarer the other night, along
with the realization that the Old Man
with the Scythe is no respecter of
time nor place. It was just at thea
ter curtain time and Longacre Square
was filled with it's nightly hurTying,
busting throng of pleasure seekers.
High hats glistened, ermine cloaks
flashed an occasional glimpse of
cleaning shoulders and alabaster
necks; taXicabs whizzed and whirred
madly around corners, while the
white-gloved traffic policeman had to
wig-wag all their fingers at once to
keep things moving and protect pc
destrians from the vehicular lugger-
nauts. In short, it was a typical
Broadway night at the rush hour,
with wealth, fashion, beauty and
pleasure rampant on a field argent.
Had some modern financial duke
perched himself high in a Widowed
niche" of the Astor and shouted:
ION with the dance, let joy be uncon-
fined" it would not have been out of
the picture.
In the midst of the hub-bub, wo-
mems shrieks were heard and a
Broadway surface car was halted
precipitately at Forty-fourth street in
the very center of the pleasure seek
ers. The screams came from the car
and were occasioned by the collapse
in the aisle of a man. The car crew
picked up the fallen man and carried
him to the street, where he was laid
out on the concrete base of one of
the white Hghtc." Then the car went
on its way. There was not soul
about who knew the man and no per-
son in authority was left with him by
the street car men. They simply laid
the man in the middle of Broadway
and went on about their business.
