say that not a single German escaped.
TT is no wonder that the Germans
have nicknamed the big French guns

Attempts to Break Line. y
General Won Kluck also has been
trying to cut right through the center
OF the allies extended left at Lassign~.
The official French communication
says that this attempt was foiled, but
It II not doubted that the effort will
be renewed, and in the event OF sue
cess 1t would compel the left wing OF
the French army to retire toward the
coast In order to escape the German
lines stretching out simultaneously
from the north and east.
The fighting in this neighborhood,
described in the French official report
az more and more violent" must, 1t is
believed, reach to Antwerp and largely
influence the fate Of that fortress.
Neither the German mol French COM
manders have claimed any decision In
this unprecedented struggle. y
German Force Increased.
"A Paris dispatch to the Exchange
Telegraph company says it is officially
announced the German forces operat-
ing In France and Belgium number %
active army corps and 18 reserve

the landwehr and landsturm.
This differs from the newspaper
statements that only 20 active army
corps and ten reserve corps are en-
gagged in these countries.

NO decision yet has been reached
in our counter-attacks along the line
between Arras,, Albert and Roye.
"The situation remains unchanged
along the battle front between the Disc
and the Meuse in the vicinity Of Yer
dun and in Alsace-Lorraine."
Won KIuck Forces Allies Back.
London, Oct. German resump-
ton Of the offensive on Tuesday was
signaled in startling fashion by the
delivery Of two furious assaults.
The first vas a series of massed
counter-attacks directed at the French
and British line north OF the Disc
river, designed to break the pressure
that threatened the German lines Of
communication into Belgium. The ac-
lion in this vicinity were compelled to,
give ground at several points.
Second, the German left developed
strength in counter-attacks
delivered during the night and re-
peated at intervals during the day,
