London Oct. 2S.-Tho battle which
all the world is watching still sways
back and forth in the little district
west of Flanders, where the allied
forces are struggling to check the
herman advance to Gala 5, but rip
pies of war news are noteI in widely
separated points.
First comes the new re 5eIlion n

An event, perhaps second in potan-
tlal Importance, is the reported Ger
man invasion of Angola, the PorSu-
guese colony in West Africa. Wherh-
er this report is true or not, tEe
dispatch comes almost coincidental
with the announcement that Manuel,
former king of Portugal, has offered
his services to King George, and is
willing to take the field against Ger
many with the army of the Portu-
guese republic. According to the re-
port, Manual recently was in Por-
tugal.
The unrest in Albania seems to
be growing. Not only have both Italy
and Greece announced their inttntion
of protecting their interests in this
territory by force of arms, but the
Turks are said to be active in a cam
paign to send troops and proclaim
Albania a part Of the Ottoman en-
pire
Asides from these political events
of the war England received a shock
in the news that steamer the
Manchester Commerce, had been
sunk off the coast Of Ireland by a
German mine. Up to the present
time all such disasters have been
confined to the eastern coast. The
region where this vessel was srtuck
is in the direct route of the great
Atlantic liners from Liverpool and of
the Clyde Line steamers from New
York and Canadian ports. The in
ference is the Germans by penetrat-
ing this area hoped to reach the
transports bearing Canadian troops
to the British Isles.
Of the battle on the User, London
has heard little news this morning.
Hhe German rush to reach he
French coast would appear for the
time being held in check but the
flercest hghting continues with the
Germans delivering harder blows on
the line between D;xmude and Ypres,
following their failure to make pro-
gress between Dixmude and the
coast. British naval guns, it is said,
have resumed their bombardment
along the coast and colossal German
losses are reported. The Belgians,
London newspapers admit, have suf-
fered terrible, but of the losses of the
French and the English no mention
is made.
While the Germans are making
their supreme effort in Flanders the
allies have been quick to press the
advantages offered to other points in
the line by, the removal of German
troops to the German right wing.
This probably accounts for the pro-
gress claimed by the allies near
scissors, at Berry-au-Bac in the CEN
ter and TO the east of Nancy, where
the GerIdans, according to the French
official announcement. have been
driven acgoss the frontier. From all
