Paris, Nov. 2.-The allied troops. according to official information here, are still determinedly meeting the la test vigorous offensive movement of the Germans in Belgium and in France. To date the French and Eng lis hassert that the balance of gains is in their favor and they look to see the failure of the German offensive in this section indicated soon by a general and definite withdrawal of the enemy upon the right bank of the Yser.
 While it is admitted that the allies have not regained all of the lost ground in the valley of the Yser, their known gains in that region give every hope of a. general success. In the vicinity of Nieuport and Dixmude the enemy has been repulsed beyond the railroad while the inundation effected between the Yser and the Nieuport- Dixmude line has rendered the ground

London, Nov. 2.---War has not yet been formally declared on Turkey. but the withdrawal from Constantinople of the embassadors of the triple en- tente powers is regarded in London as being equivalent to g. signal for hostilities which Turkey has antici- pated by a naval raid in the Black Sea and by a. reported land expedition which is said to have penetrated into Egypt.
 Evidence accumulates that Turkey intends to proclaim a holy war. Am ple measures, however, 1t Is asserted have been taken by Great Britain and Russia against this probability and It is evident that the first trouble IS ex- pected to arise in Egypt where, It Is said. the khedive intends to ask Great Britain for an explanation Of her ar- titude towards Turkey.
 Berlin claims that Turkey was fore ed to throw in her lot with Germany because the porte recognized that an entente victory would mean the dis ruption of the Turkish empire with ConstantfnopIe, Armenia and STurke- stan going to Russia, Arabia to Eng land and Syria to France. On the other hand, in the event of the defeat of the triple entente nations, Turkey was to be guaranteed territorially ito be given aid in reconfering the Cau-

 The usual charges and den1ab are being made as to the responsibility for the first attack in the Black Sea. but these are issued chiefly tor con sumption by the neutral countries since the inevitability of the conflict was recognized by both sides.
 The principal actors are not greatly concerned which nation fired the opening shot.
 The battles on the sand dunes along the Belgian coast still are dragging on with painful monotony- Advances by either side are only for short dis tances and are made at fearful cost Further. east the allies claim to have penetrated to the north and to the east of Lille which is believed to have been reoccupied by the allied troops
 Other reports assert that the allies daily are creeping nearer to Ostend which even now hardly catn be said to be occupied in a military sense. but as long as the Germans hold the river the town does not need any con siderable force to retain it. Another uncondrmed special report also states that a large German force was cut off from the main Belgian cycle corps, blew up a bridge and that many thou sands of the invaders surrendered.
