Valparaiso report that an engagement is
now taking place off Yauyos, Peru, be-
tween British, German and Japanese war
ships. Press dispatches telling of pre-
vious German British naval engagement
are confirmed In the messages.
No details OF the engagement were
given. Closing reading OF the cable mes
sage seemed 20 indicate that Yauyos was
not the name of town off which. the
engagement was in progress. but a code
word which had been left blank OF mean
ing IN the firms code book. An inquiry
to the firms home office at London for
a translation OF Yauyos had brought no
answer late today.
This translation was substantiated by
the fact that the Peruvian town of Yau-
yos. first thought 10 have been Intended,

Germans Make Second Concerted
Attempt to Break Line of Allies

LONDON, Nov. 6-what has now be-
come another well defined stage OF the
battle in West Flanders. that Is to say. a
second concerted attempt OF the German
army to blast its way through TO the
sea, was flaming and roaring from
NieuBort to the French frontier today
without definite result so far on either
side.
Tho ~preR near the coast formerly held
by the extreme German right and from
which the invaders were forced by the
allies after many days Of hard fighting,
is held only by dead, wounded and dying,
the inunGation having made the vicinity
uninhabitable for the living and having
prevented an advance OF the British,
French and Belgian allies.

War Summary

Germany is striking another
mighty blow along the whole line
OF battle. Recrudescence OF ac-
tivity is indicated by today's Of
ficial French statement, which
mentioned severe encounters at
various points between Flanders
and the Swiss border.
Meanwhile fighting is proceed
ing actively by land and sea In
the new war zone created by Tur-
keys entrance into the conflict,
and British warship is said to
have met with disaster in the at
tack on the Dardanelles.
The battle in Belgium has re-
suited in no decisive advantages
on either side. The fiercest en-
counters center about a sharp
bend in the German line, form
ing a triangle with the northern
base at Dixmude, the southern at
Ypres and the apex at Roulers.
Reports from British and
French sources make the claim
that the German attack is weak
ening and that the allies now have
a reasonable hope of driving back
their foes to the interior of Bel
guim and thus compelling a gen.
eral retirement along the rest OF
the line.
German advices. however. Of
fer no basis for such conclusion.
Apparently Germans are bring.
Ing In heavy reinforcements, in
the determination of increasing
instead OF diminishing the fury of
their attack.
Along the rest of the line the
offensive generally remains with
the Germans. The French state
ment says that In the region of
The Argonne forest, in the Woevre
district, and further east. around
Nancy, there have been heavy en-
gagements, In some instances lead
Ing to bayonet encounters. No
important victories are claimed
by the French, although minor adj
vances are said to have been main
tanned at various points.
In the east the Russians claim
decisive Victory over the Aus
trians. They have recaptured the
Town OF Jaroslau, near the long
disputed fortress OF Przemysl,
Petrograd reports, capturing
5000 Austrian prisoners.
In Poland the Germans have
employed the same tactics as In
France by pushing forward their
troops as rapidly as possible, and
meanwhile fortifying a strong line
to the rear, to which they might
fall back. They have given way
TO these selected positions and the
Russians now face the same prob
lem which confronted the French
and British in France.
Russia is prosecuting vlgor-
ously the war against Turkey.
Petrograd adviees are that Rus
sian forces have entered Armenia
by two routes and that several
Turkish regiments have been
captured.

LONDON, Nov. 6.--The latest reports

that the Germans have retired from the

evidence that the German assaults are
becoming less intense and there are some
indications of the resumption of the Of

Belgians reported occupying both banks
Of the User and forcing the Germans in

In spite of these reports, however.
there is no disposition on the part of the
allies to be overconfident. Some hint Of
thi feeling is found in the interest in
