entering the final stage OF their attempt
TO seize the coast. II IL this last stage
that is most hazardous for them
During the last three weeks have been

must traverse In order to reach Calais
and Boulogne
Two courses are obviously open to the
Grand Duke OF Wurttemburg. Tho first
is to make straight FIR Calais. either
destroying Dunkrk on the way or de-
tachng a force TO surround II, and then
TO march on through Hondschoote,
Bergues and Gravelines.
The other course, which many well In
formed persons who passed through here
from the front think will be followed, is IA

OF success The huge hOwitzers without

of travel which is fatally slow. Like

PARIS, oct. 2s.--Gen. Joffre's des-
patches to-day strengthen the belief
that the German attack in Flanders and
France has passed the crest of power
and is slowly weakening
The official reports were more IA
voraDle than at any time since the Ger
man armies began their new advance
fifteen days ago after the occupation
of Ostend. Last night and to-day the
Kaisers troops were not merely checked
but were hurled back.
The allies gained ground in Belgium
to the north and east OF Ypres. driving
IA wedge further northward between the
German forces near the coast and forces
operating from Client and Brussels. The
a'iies outfought tho Germans and adj
vsnced in the region of La Bassce, tho
point for many days OF incessant and
violent effort by the Germans to cut tie
allied line in two. Elsewhere along the
west flank the allied line remains un-
br, akabe.
The official statement that the Ger
man onslaught is moderating, together
with unofficial dispatches asserting that
the Germans cannot maintain their at
tack. warrants the conjecture that the
Russian victories in Poland, tho adj
vances OF the French in Lorraine and
Alsace and tremendous losses in Killed
and wounded in Belgium and northern
France are compelling the Germans
once more TO abandon an offensive cam
paign and are forcing them to prepare
to defend their own territory. 1t is
reported that the invaders have lost
$4,000 killed and 10000 wounded in Bel
GUM alone. while their losses in France,
especially near La Bassee, Lille and Ar
ras have been enormous.
Tho dwindling OF their chances in Bel
GUM may have produced the new at

The news from the battle line north,
east and southeast of Verdun continues

WASHINGTON. Oct 2s.--Determined to

however, there was an official admis-
sion OF retreat.
The statement given out says that
fresh Russian forces advancing from
1vangorod. Warsaw and Novo Georg-
ievsk have obliged the German armies
TO withdraw. after having repulsed all
former attacks. The statement con-
tinues:
AT first the Russians did not follow
and the withdrawal of our troops took
place without difficulty. Tho reserve
troops will change their formation ac-
cording 10 the situation"
other statements issued in Berlin and
Vienna merely summarize the situation
in the east by saying that very severe
battles are being fought along the River
Vistula and the River San. the point be-
INK made that the Russians are In
greatly superior numbers
The military expert OF the Berhner
Tdgebidtt does not deny that the Ger
mans are retreatlng from Poland. and
adds:
1T is TO be hoped that the leaders Of
the allied Austrian and German armies
will be able to cooperate fully against
this Russian movement. The bravery Of
the allied troops gives ground for the
expectation that an advance against the
Russian petitions on the Vistula will be
renewed"
