FRENCH REPORT DENIES
DESTRUCTION OF Two OF
ITS CAVALRY DIVISIONS

Paris. Oct. IA, $40 Z. M.-The fol
lowing official announcement was given
ont in Paris this afternoon:
'ln the Belgian field of operations
there We're some encounters during the
night of October 1913 and during the
day of the 18th in the region around
Ghent. English and French troops have
occupied Ypres.
"First-on our left wing, as far as
the 0ise. the operations are developing
normally.
"Secoud--On the center previous re-
ports of the progress of our armies in
the region of Berry -au-Bac have been
confirmed.
"Third-On our right wing there is
nothing new.
German Press News Denounced
"While it is not our custom TO reply
TO the inaccuracies of the German press,
it seems to us proper to denounce the
false news published in certain German
newspapers concerning the pretended
destruction of two divisions of French
cavalry. This information is absolutely
erroneous. The truth is that certain
forces of French and German cavalry,
with supports, have been engaged for
several days along the front alt LA
'Bassce, EStaires and Bailleul. The Ger
man cavalry succeeded in making a Very
slight advance between the canal of La
lBassee and the Lys, but they were
obliged TO draw hack in the territory
north OF Lys.
1.-The losses sustained by the Ger
man cavalry are assuredlv as percept-
Ihle as our OWN. One of rhe German iii,
visions suffered particularly because
i; was pursued during one. entire day
by our avitors, who did not cease to
throw bombs down upon the German
troops.
Verdun Report Also False
Another case is the fact that the
Germans announce they are undertak-
ing the investment of Verdun. In this
instance, also. to learn the truth, it Is
sufficient TO refer to the situation "a
set forth. on several different occasions,
in the French official communications.
The Germans have not succeeded up TO
the present time in hurting themselves
against the fortified position Of Yer
dun. They have, however. made two
futile efforts TO envelope. at consid'
cradle distance. the French forces which
are operating around Nerdan.
lone of these efforts was character
lied by their attempt to go through the
Argonne forest. between Binarvine and
Varennes. 1t viii be recalled that this
movement failed, with very important
losses. We did not even announce at
the time that two German battalions
had been annihilated in this engage,
menr.
Crossing of the Meuse
"T The other enveloping movement on
the part of the Germans, undertaken in
much greater numerical strength, was
directed toward crossing the Meuse in
the region of st. Mihiel. If the Ger,
mans succeeded in reaching this river
on the front g., between Maizey and
Chauveucourt, all their efforts to ad
vance farther resulted in failure. The
German forces found themselves caught
on the flank bv detachments of our
troops which advanced from the south
to tine north through the southern sec
tjon of the heights of the IMeuse and
through the southern section of the
WoeVre district.

GERMANS SUSPECTED IN
MOVEMENT TO REPEAT
RAPID FORWARD MOVE

London, Oct. IA, lao p. M,-Out of
the mass of wholly irreeoncilable asser.
tious regarding the war in Europe,
energies the seemingly established fact
mat tne Germans are attempting to re-
peat the rapid sweeping movement
whleh five weeks ago took them al
most to the gates of Paris.
With most of Belgium already oceu-
pied there is nothing that can stop the
invaders reaching the coast and remain
ing there at least temporarily unless the
British naval guns are able TO render
tenure impossible. The length of their
stay at the popular seaside resort,
should they seize Ostend, will. of course,
depend upon the outcome of the great
battle now understood to be opening
near the frontiers separating the prov.
inces of West FLANDERS and Hainaut
from the French department of the
north.
Allies Left Strongly Reinforced
Beyond an unconfrmed report of
lighting in the direction of ZeebN gge,
coast town fifteen miles northeast Of
OStend. there is no further news of the
German advance in this vicinity. Far.
rher south there is reason to believe
that the left wing of the allies has been
strongly reinforced and confirmation of
this is found in the statement in the
last report from General Joffre. the
French commander-in-c chief. that the of,
fensive against rhe Germans mas been
resumed in that part of the line of
battle.
In order to strength his forces in
this vicinity General Won Kluck has
thrown an entire army corps into Lille.
This manufacturing city has once be,
fore been in German hands and it has
been within the German lines since an
early stage of the hostilities. Its oceu-
