Summary Of Events.)

The Germans have undertaken
a general offensive movement
along the line extending from the
mouth of the River User on the
North Sea, to the River Meuse,
and while they have compelled
the Allies to give ground in some
places, they themselves have lost
positions in others.
Generally. however, there is little or
NO change in the situation, the lines
swinging and swaying as they have
done for weeks. Although it is now
Just two months since the Allies con-
centrated on the Franco.Belgian from
tier to oppose the German advance,
and the invaders have been almost to
Paris and back in the interval, no de-
cisive battle has been fought. Neither
side has destroyed or even partly de-
stroyed an army. Even the Belgian
army escaped almost intact after that
country was overrun by the Germans
With Fury and Tenaeity.
The battles on land are being con-
tested with fury and tenacity which
would indicate that strategic import
ance is being attached to the posi-
tions held by the opposing armies.
When town is reached, street fight
ing generally develops. One side
gains an advantage only to lose 1t
when the other side brings up re-
endorsements.
Heavy Rains Along Coast.
Torrential rains have been falling
recently near the scene of the coast
fighting. making the fiat country n
= sea OF mud. and this. with the net
work of canals, makes the movement
OF German guns extremely difficult.
The Germans. however. are still
bringing up re-enforcements. mes
sage from Amsterdam saying that
troops are steadily moving westward
between Weterend and Termonde to-
ward the French frontier. II was
added that the men were OF all ages
and were accompanied by heavy guns,
supposedly for ostend.
German Attack Severe.
The German attack has been par
ucularly severe In the West. where
their right wing. strongly REINFORCED
by fresh troops. is attempting an ad.
vance against the Belgians who are
holding the Allies extreme left. This
left rests on the coast and is support.

sides claim successes. but the French

been compelled TO fall back.

London. Oct. 27.-The battle for the
Straits OF Dover, one of the most san.
culinary of the war, is continuing with
unabated fury, but thus far without
either side gaining any decided advan.
tage.
The Germans. who at terrible cost
in life succeeded last Saturday in
crossing the User between Nieuport
and Dixmude. have not been able to
make further progress, as the allies.
according to a report Of the German
general headquarters. are obstinately
defending their positions.
1t is the same further south around
Armentieres, Lille, La Bassee and Ar
ras. The opposing armies are deliver
ing fierce attacks, gaining or losing
few miles or less of ground with sacri-
fices in life that are appalling. The
whole countryside is fairly reeking
with the blood of thousands Of killed
or wounded. In the towns and villages
with which the country is crowded, and
most Of which have been laid in ruins
by the artillery, most desperate fight
ing has occurred when the cavalry and
infantry come into contact. Both sides
speak Of the heavy losses they have
imposed on their adversaries but say
nothing of their own dead or wounded.
The British fleet which did such exc
cution in bombarding the German
flanks as they advanced along the
coast, seems to have withdrawn. The
Germans say this was because their
artillery was beginning to reach the
ships. The belief is expressed here.
however, that the fleet will be able to
render untenable German occupation
of any part Of the Belgian or French
coasts. The opinion also is expressed
here that the operations of the allied
vessels in the North Sea. off the Bel
gian coast and in the vicinity of the
Straits OF Dover. may cause the Ger
man fleet to come out and give battle.
In naval circles here II is considered
that the German submarines. although
they have proved deadly to ships
steaming slowly. will not be SO effect
i've against ships steaming and maneu-
vering at high speed and in shallow
waters, as the British monitors and
their auxiliaries have been doing.
There is some talk of the Germans
bringing their 42-centimetre guns to
the coast to use against the allies war
ships. but the British sailors are cred
tied with saying that their vessels can
prevent these guns being put in posi-
tion. They claim that. even though
they be mounted, they will not be so
deadly against fast-moving target. rs
they were against the stationary forts.
which they destroyed SO easily.
while this life-and-death struggle is
going on In the west. the French have
become more active In the east. along
the Alsatian border. and are said to
be making preparations and getting
honors In view OF possible attacks by
the Germans. with their big howitzers.
