IN BRIEF SEA FIGHT

LONDON. October 81, 1857 a-m.-War-
ships of the British navy with their big
guns were sent to the coast to cooperate
in the movements against the Germans
at Ostend and other points. Apparently
the Germans heard of this and, according
to the Daily Mail, five German sub
marines were sent out to attack them
A scout and division of British destroy
ers went to the support o the larger
ships and attacked the submarines Mon
day. In the course of the action twelve
torpedoes were fired by the submarines.
but not one of them hit.
A Times dispatch from the French coast
SAYS it Is reported that Monday morning
when two British gunboats were engag
ing the German land batteries they were
attacked by German submarines. De-
stroyers with another warship came to
the assistance of the gunboats and the
submarines were driven off with loss.

REPORTS INDICATE GERMANS
RESUME DEFENSIVE IN WEST

LONDON. October 21, 1910 ANA
comparison of the official reports from
Paris and Berlin leads to the conclu-
sion that all along the western battle
front in France and Belgium the Ger
mans have resumed the offensive. but
with their supreme efforts directed
against the allies left
The news supplementing these official
communications, however. indicate that
on the left at least the allies are not
acting merely on the defensive.
The great turning movement Is un-
doubtedly developing through the corner
of Belgium bounded by France and the
sea. but the public remains in a haze
as to whether the turning movement Is
one on the part of the allies to get
around the German right flank or a Ger
man operation to envelop the allies left-
The impression grows that the Ger
mans are determined to add Dunklrk 70

ing desperate efforts to hurl back the IN
vaders. Late reports through Dutch
sources declare that the Germans have
been repulsed six miles from Ostend:
and that guns are now heard near that
city. Other late reports, which lack con-
firmation. state that the Germans have
a abandoned Bruges. If these reports are
true it would indicate that the allies are
meeting with some success IN their e1-
forts to reoccupy the seacoast
Fighting Centers Around Lille.
The movements along the coast con-
tinue to be moro or less in the nature
of reconnaissance movements, while the
aim of the fighting on the allies left
centers around Lille. which is because
its railroad and highway connections
are Of vital strategic importance to
the Germans. From Lille two roads run
out to the west-one northerly to Ar
mentieres. and the other souther1y to
Fournes, through a country which is
inclosed and thickly populated.
The French government contents IT.
seIf with the assertion that these roads
are held by strong forces of Germans.
while the Berlin communication claims
a victory on them. The operations along
these roads may also merely be
the Germans, but all reports agree that
the German resistance at Lille contin-
nes to be of the most stubborn nature.

WAR NEWS IN BRIEF.

Violent attacks and counter at
tacks for possession of the sea.
coast in the extreme north OF
France continue without decisive
results.
Only one official statement
that from Paris had come
through early this afternoon. It
threw little light on the situation,
being brief and referring to events
of yesterday.
The attacks of the Germans,
especially severe at Nieuport,
Dixmude and La Bassee, Tues
day. were repulsed, says the
French war office. There was no
noteworthy change elsewhere on
the battle front. News dispatches
indicate the sharpest fighting in
the vicinity of Lille, with a re-
newal of activity at vital points
all along the line.
Counter claims regarding the
situation in the east leave much
to speculation. There appears,
however, little doubt that the
German advance in Russian Po-
land has been so successful that
Warsaw is seriously threatened.
Przemysl, in Galicia, remains in
the possession of the Austro-Ger-
man forces. There has been a
renewal of activity in Eastern
Prussia without definite result.
A statement from Vienna, issued
yesterday, says that the fighting
in central Galicia has become
more severe, and that the Aus
trian attacks are progressing.
A news dispatch from Copen-
hagen says that German torpedo
boats have been engaged with an
in the Baltic, off the
Prussian coast. No details were
given.
Albania looms again as a pos
sible influence upon the attitude
Of Italy toward the war. The
Italian government today denied
that Italian troops had occupied
Avlona, which has been threat
ened by insurgents since the abb
dication of Prince William of
Wied. At the same time the
Giornale d'Italia of Rome de-
;lares that there is a state of
anarchy at Avlona; intimates
hat Greece is taking advantage
of the disturbed conditions, and
declares that the Italian govern
nent has notified the powers that
t will not tolerate a violation of
he integrity Of Albania.
Rome reports unofhcially that
he Anglo-French fleet is still
oombarding Cattaro, Dalmatia. |
