Six Days of the Worlds War
OCTOBER f6.

In the northwest of Belgium the Ger
mans are rapidly bringing their forces
to the coast. They have occupied Bru-
ges, about IA miles east Of Ostend, and
have appeared at Blankenberghe on the
North sea. some IL miles northeast OF
Ostend. In the meantime. however. the
allies have thrown a strong lire out to
the south, with the object of shutting
off Calais and other French ports on
the English channel. The allies occupy
Ypes, and their line Is believed to ex-
tend almost directly northward OF
Nieuwport. This territory, within the
next few days. doubtless, will be the
scene of heavy fighting II the reported
plans of the Germans are carried out.
The latest French official statement
announces gains on many points on the
front. including the taking of Estaires,
an advance of about two kilometers in
the center of the north and east of
Rheims, and a further advance on the
heights of the Mouse to the south of
st. Mihiel Reenforoements have reach
ed both the Germans and the allies
on their right and left wings, respecti-
vey, and these need only to be placed
in their proper positions the front
for the blow to be struck which may
prove to be a decisive stroke for one
side or the other. Petrograd reports
no change ON the eastern Prussian and
and central Vistula fronts, but claims
a victory for a Russian column over the
Austrians south of PrZemysl Vienna
reports that according to an official
German communication the Austro Ger
man armies have relieved the fortress
of Przemysl. The bombardment of
Rheims continues, and the Rheims ca
thedral has been subjected to another
shelIing. Already the revolving forces
in South Africa under Colonel Maritz
have been engaged by column of the
Union of South Africa troops and so
of the rebels captured.

troops of Emperor William last Thurs
day according to German official re-
port arriving from Berlin by way of
London. If this report is true the Ger
mans have reached the goal for which
they aimed Immediately after they cap
tured Antwerp The forces now, are
only SIS miles across the sea from
Dover and lis miles from London. On
their way to Ostend the Germans also
took Bruges which previously was re-
ported to have been deserted and where
no resistance was expected. The lat
est French official report does not touch
on the movements of the Germans and
the allies near the Belgian coast line,
where the one army has been trying to
gain firmer foothold and the other to
throw back the advances. OF the hostil
tiles in the west it merely says the
fighting continues vigorously and that
in the vicinity of Lille ground has been
gained by the allies. Farther to the
east along the battle line that now
stretches from the North sea to the
Swiss frontier a repulse of the Ger
mans near Malancourt is chroncled
A newspaper dispatch says that a Ger
man column has been hurled back with
heavy loss in the Vosges. Another re.
port has it that the Germans have beer
driven from Lille. Fighting still Is go
