nous. German officer, captured yester-
day, estimates that there have been $780,

ton of Ostend in northwest Flanders
alone. Whole batteries and battalions
cave been annihilated by the shell fire

tracks remain exposed above the flooded
area. The shattered German regiments
are being given no time to reform and
amalgamate. They are abandoning their
wounded guns and transports. Unless
their fleet comes out to create diver
sion they will be driven from the Belgian

RUSSIANS DENY THEY
OPENED HOSTILITIES

Petrograd, Nov 1.-The following
official statement was given out to-
night:
THE communications from Berlin
and Vienna agencies saying that the
Russian fleet opened hostilities against
the Turkish squadron are common in
ventions. They are trying manifestly
to lead into error public opinion in
Constantinopie which is purposely be-
ing kept in ignorance concerning the
perfedious attack on our coast by
Turkish warships under the command
Of German officers.
',rhe same proceedings were employ
ed when Germany declared war or
us, it being said that Russian soldiers
invaded German territory, while as a
matter OF fact not a single Russian
soldier crossed the frontier before
was was declared.
Previous to the Turkish hostilities
our fleet undertook no action. 1t is ev-
ident that If the initiative had been
taken by the Russian fleet, tho bonn
harding of the ports and the sudden
attack of the Turkish fleet could not
have taken place"
