Germans Capture Three Towns.
a Paris dispatch, dated Novem-
Der 11th, says:
The Germans new terrific drive for
the Belgian and French coast, for
which they have been masslng great
bodies Of troops, is succeeding at at
least three points, according to ad-
missions to-day.
DiXmude, the Belgian town which
has been the center Of the great bat
tie along the User, has been taken by
the Germans; the allies have with
drawn from Lille, and the Kaiser's
forces have occupied Ypres, over
which there has been most deadly
| struggle. Austrian reinforcements
have Joined the Germans in this cam
paign.
In the east the Russians are at
tempting new raids on Prussian soil.
The general battle front did not
change materially there during the
day.
The Russians again claim decisive
victories over the Turks in Armenia,
while Constantinople reports victo-
ries over the Russians.
An allied fleet has been assembled
in the Pacific and is securing the seas
for the German squadron which de-
feated the British off the coast of
Chile last week.
Renew Onorts to Reach Coast.
The Germans have renewed their
drive to the French coast, which was
temporarily halted by the cutting of
dykes in the lower valley of the
User river. 1t is stated that the bat
tie has been resumed with great fe-
rocity between Nieuport and River
Lys. This is the first time since the
User Valley was flooded that Nieu-
port has been mentioned in an Off
|
coast at the extreme left end of the
allies line.
Offsetting the admission that Dix
nude has been captured, it is an
nounced that Lombertzyde, north of
Nieuport has been reoccupied by the
allies.
