GERMANS BEFORE WARSAW
Both Sides, Claim to Have Gained
Advantages, but Little Really
Is Known.

London, Oct. 16.-The Germans are
before Warsaw. Fighting has taken
place only eight miles from that city.
While their advance to the Niemen
was a failure, the forces Of Emperor
William apparently have retrieved
some defeats of the Austrians in Cali
cia and have advanced as far as Jaroz-
lau, II miles northwest OF PrZemysl.
The German plan seems to be to
have two armies advance along the
left bank of the Vistula river while
two other armies swing around on the
right bank to take the defenders OF
Warsaw on their flank. This, accord
ing to Russian accounts, suits the Rus
sian general stan, who are said pur-
posely to have withdrawn to the Wis
tula so that they would have the rail-
ways at their back while the Austro-
German forces would have to advance
great distances on roads which at
this time Of the year are little more
than quagmires.
Both sides claim TO have gained ad-
vantages in the preliminary lighting
but these victories and defeats can
have little effect on the general result
OF the battle in which 1t is estimated
nearly 100000 men are engaged
The Russians, II is said, have 2,500-
900 men and the Austro-German force
is declared. to total nearly 100000
The armies cover front of nearly 800
miles.
The battle on the East Prussian
frontier has ceased. The two armies
are facing each other across the Dor
der, both doubtless being satisfied to
remain where they are until the chief
battle in Poland is decided.

Antwerp Losses Denied.
Bordeaux, Oct. 16.-High officials
deny the correctness Of the German

left in fight nor retreat and say that
1t merely carried out a necessary
operation.
It is also denied that the Germans
captured many prisoners. They lost
many men by the sorties OF the garri-
son until the heavy siege artillery
made any further heroism useless.
The stores OF grain had previously
been distributed to the poor. The only
war material captured were two how

now in Western Canada to make their

London, Oct. IA Reuter- dispatch
from Amsterdam says II Is officially
announced In Berlin that Ostend was
occupied by German troops on Thurs
day, and Bruges on Wednesday.
The war situation on the northern
frontier OF France is viewed with in
creased apprehension in well informed
circles in Bordeaux. 1t is feared that
the Germans will extend their sweep
OF the north coast to Dunkirk, and
even to Calais and Dover.

Is now feared that the entire German
line will advance successfully on

Allies Are Near Metz.
The steady hammering Of the allies
on the German left wing OF the French
battle front has brought them almost
within twelve miles of the forts at
Metz. In spite of this menace part OF
the German crown princes army
hangs on doggedly to the positions II

Threaten Crown Princes Rear.
The French are in possession OF the
route from Nancy to Metz as far as
Pagny, on the Lorraine border, and
menace the route from Verdun to

Claim Germans Fall Back.
Fighting is in progress along a bat
tie line extending from Ypres. in north
western Belgium, to the sea, according
TO the official French statement issued
In Paris.
Although the Germans have lost
ground along the Albert-Arras-Es-
taires-Ypres line, their retirement has
not developed into retreat. The in
vaders have fallen back into strong
positions. The allies seem to be on
the offensive all along the mighty bat
tie line with the exception OF the cen
ter, where the German lines are too
strong to be taken by storm. On the
eastern end OF the line fighting OF
furious character is in progress, espe-
cially in the vicinity OF Verdun.
