Paris, Oct. 27.-The Germans are
bombarding Nieuport. After forcing
crossing of the User in great force
tetween Dixmude and Nieuport the
main body pressing back the main
Belgian line about six miles south of
the latter city, the invaders advance
was halted when the bending allied
line stiffened and held and met the
attack with furious counter assault
But the Germans were able to bring
up their heavy siege guns, the "Jack
Johnsons" and "Sam Langfords," and
about noon a violent fusillade was di-
rected from the German batteries on
the Belgian positions on the outskirts
of Newport. Scores of shells burst
over and in the seaport city, and the
din, which rose even above the roar
of the general battle being fought
along the User, was frightful.
The midnight official communique
issued by the war office at Bordeaux
in conveying the startling news of the
attack upon Nieuport, adds that the
German effort against the allies po-
sitions as far south as Dixmude con-
tinued with unabated fury all during
the day, but according to the French
official estimate "it does not appear
to have accomplished any result
whatever"
Frightful destruction of life was
recorded in the history making Bat
tie Of Flanders, in which the most
deadly engines of war are engaged.
In the air, on the land and on the sea
these great war machines today con-
tinued to sweep desolate Belgium, rip
ping great pits, tearing burrows of
death and shattering with enormous
projectiles whole groups of the ene-
my where they struck.
Night attacks of great ferocity have
Eeen delivered along the entire front
between La Bassee and the Somma
by the Germans, but the allies, act
ing with great resourcefulness and
valor, have been able to hold the in
vaders to their positions.
While the Germans have driven for
ward at one point in Belgium, the
allies have forced an advance at an
other until the once jagged line now
shows great bends and sharp angles as
as result of these isolated successes.
AS yet, however, no general yielding
has been recorded and decision in
this, the greatest conflict in the war,
is as far distant as when the Ger
mans occupied Ostend ten days ago.
For the time at least Dunkirk and
Calais, the objectives of the Germans,
appear to be safe.
