London, Oct. 6.--General Won Klucl
reinforced with troops from the Gel
man center, continues to make de
termined stand against the attempt Q
the Allies TO outflank him.
The French. Who officially reporte,

about September Is, continues will
great violence with no decisive result
and that at certain points the French
troops have had to yield ground.
The Germans In their report ISSUED
the other day say the battle is pro
ceeding successfully for them.
The country where the chief fight
Ing Is going on is flat and under cult
walton. In many places 1t is Doggy
and there are scattered coal mines
The allied armies are continually ex
tending toward the north and bending
eastward toward the Belgian frontier
thus compelling the Germans, in or
der to prevent the crumbling up OF
their main army, to move large forces
from the center and so keep pace with
the Allies, whose position menaces
the invaders along the whole line.
The Allies plan, it is thought, may
compel the Germans to release the
pressure on the Belgians.
