ing on East Frontier.

On the Battlefront, via Paris, Oct.
27.-The Germans are bombarding
Newport. After forcing crossing of
the User in great force between Dix
nude and Newport, 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,
held and met the attack with furl-
Gus counter-assault.
But the Germans were able to bring
up their heavy siege guns, and about
noon a violent fusillade was directed
from the German batteries on the Bel
gian 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.
Frightful destruction of life was re-
corded in the history-making battle of
Flanders.
While the Germans have driven for
ward at one point in Belgium, the al
lies have forced an advance at an
other, until the once jagged line now
shows great bends and sharp angles.
A decision in this conflict is as far dis
tant as when the Germans occupied
Ostend ten days ago.
Dunkirk and Calais Safe.
For time at least Dunkirk and
Calais, the detectives of the Germans,
appear to be safe.
Word from the front to Berlin by
wireless says that Verdun is doomed
and its fall is expected by the Ger

that capture of the~fortress is immi-

the great guns are now playing on
the main defenses and that Verdun is
to meet the fate of Liege, Namur,
Maubeuge and Antwerp.

The majority of the chiefs remained

considered by them in case the last

In regard to the protest that the
Vilistas have made in regard to the
early evacuation Of Veracruz, I am
not in a position to know anything
about it. Such a protest would only
show a lack of honor and patriotism
on their part and my feelings lead me
to reject the idea that any Mexican
citizen would harbor such an intention.
The essential point IS the evacuation
of foreign troops from a part of Our

for settlement.
