GERMANS FAIL TO TURN

by the Germans to tu:E the flank of
the allies and obtain possession Of the
ports of Ostend, Dunkirk and Calais,
have been unsuccessful, for the Ger.

opposing allied army, which COMPEL

fighting.
In pitched battle west Of Lille, the
Germans were forced to make mark
ed retirement from Laventie in the
direction of Lille, and their occupation
of which last Saturday by 10000 men
appeared destined for short duration.

municated tonight: ION our left, &C.

We have held our own. At certain
points we have gained ground, have
occupied Laventie east of Estaires, in

Thursday night fire broke out in
the Grand Pacific Hotel at Bismarck,
burning the stairs and lobby and en-
tirely running the basement. The en-,

and for some time it was thought that
the fire could not be controlled and
that the whole structure would be
burned down. It did not prove as SER
ious as at first was thought and was
finally put out.
Miss Nina Stralee of the Grand the
atre who was in the building at the
time was overcome by the smoke and
slightly burned about the face but got
out without further injury

Germans Advance on Calais

Forces Retreat East
ward.

London, Oct. 16.-A Reuters Amstel
dam correspondent says:
"Sluis, Netherlands, reports fighting
in the vicinity of Bruges. After q
brief battle the Germans yesterday
opened the way to Bruges. They ar
rived at Bruges and Damme, four
miles northeast of Bruges, this morn
ing. They also appeared at Blanken
berghe, and are expected to arrive al
Ostend today (Friday)."
London, Oct. 1.-two great battles
one in Northern France and Belgium
the other in Russian Poland, both with
front of 300 miles, have reached
their height, but the public is allowed
only an occasional glance of their pro-
gress through official communications.
which frequently are widely at var
lance.
From French reports it appears that
the western battle is going slowly, but
surely in favor of the allies. Under
pressure of the allies, Germans who
had started to advance on Calais, and
other French coast ports, have been
forced to evacuate the left bank OF
Lys river, which is a considerable dis
lance east of the points of their ad-
vance guards week ago.
Farther east in the Lense district,
and southwark between Arras and Al
bert, where the Germans made their
initial attempt to work around the al
lies left, English and French have
made notable progress"
In the center the allies also advanc-
ed, particularly toward Croanne where
several German trenches are reported
to have been carried to the northeast
Of the road from Berryauback to
Rheims, to the north of Prunay in the
direction of Beine, which is southeast
of Rheims. All this shows deter
mined and partly successful attempt
to drive the Germans from Rheims,
which is under bombardment again to-
day. The famous cathedral is again
the target of German artillery.
From Battlefront, (via Paris), Oct.
1.-two thousand French cuirassiers
distinguished themselves by daring
feat in swimming the river Lys, deep
and swift completely outwitting the
