(By Karl II. Won Wiegand.)
Berlin, by wireless via Say
vile, Oct. s. - Optimism
breathed from every line of the
government report issued here
today, summarizing the war sit
uation.
Attention was first called to
the persistent activity of the
kaiser's cruisers in foreign
waters. That the allies would
quickly wipe out Gerrnany's navy
was predicted early in the war,
II was recalled. Yet, it was
pointed out, not a single Teu-
tonic fighting vessel of inn
portance had been lost.
On the contrary, the world was
reminded, the cruisers Goeben,
Breslau, Emden, Karlsruhe,
Leipsic, Scharnhorst and Gneis-
enau have not only escaped but
have wrought immense damage
to the allies shipping.
Attention also was called to
the fact that the allies attempts
to force the sultan to reopen the
Dardanelles had all failed, de.
spite the fact that the Russian
ambassador at Constantinople
in particular, was furious at the
embargo placed on the exporta.
ton Of his country's grain crop
and the importation of arms BY
the southern route.
The Turkish navy, recently in
creased, IL was stated, was ex
pected shortly to attack Russia
by way Of The Black Sea.
AS against this, the German
government issued an optimistic
statement. IL referred TO Ger
man gains in France.

This Claim Is Based on the
Large Number Of Reserves
Among Prisoners
FIGHTING is FIERCE
BUT is NOT DECISIVE
German Movement Indicates
Intent to Destroy Railroad
to Brussels
(By william Philip Sims

Paris, Oct. 6.-An attempt by the
German right wing at an encircling
movement of its own was suspected
here today from reports Of the presence
Of Chlans near Lille.
Experts inclined 10 think this was
merely reconnoitering force but in
view of the fact that Lille is on the
main railway the allies would have to
use to relieve Brussels and Antwerp, it
was also thought possible the Germans
planned to destroy the line,
Today's official statement was gen.
orally encouraging.
Fierce fighting was still in progress
about Arras but the Germans had made
no substantial gains,
Between the Somme and the Disc the
conflict continued with alternate ad,
vances and retirements but thus far
without any decisive advantage to
either side.
Many second-Liners.
The Germans had been repulsed in an
attempt to break the French line at
Lassigny. This attempt, had II sue.
ceeded, would have endangered the Gal.
lie left.
AT headquarters it was said the re.
newal Of the German offensive need
cause no alarm, though II was expected
the kaiser's troops would endeavor TO
continue aggressive tactics as long as
possible,
That they were at the end Of their
resources, so far as men were con.
cerned was considered established by
the number Of their reserves and second
liners among the prisoners taken by the
allies.
"On our left, - said the text Of the
war Offices statement, "the front is
becoming more and more extended.
Unchanged at Arras.
'Somo German cavalry forces Of
large size have been reported In the
enyirous Of Lille, advancing ahead of
bodies Of the enemy which ara engaged
In movement to the nofthward Of the
line Of Tourcoing and Armenters,
Around Arfas, on the right bank Of
the Sommc, the situation Is unchanged.
Between the Sommo and the Disc
there have been alternate advances and
retrements.
% Near Lasgny the enemy attempted
fierce attack which failed.
"On the rlgh bank Of the Aisne,
north Of scissors, we have advanced
slightly In cooperation with the British
army. Likewise we have made some
progress In the region Of Bcrry.Au.Bac
