London, Oct, 21.-A comparison
of the official reports from Paris
and Berlin leads to the conclusion
tnat all along the Western battle
fr0,.t in France and Belgium the
| Germans have reasaumed the often
| sive. hut with their supreme charts
directed against the allies left. the
news supplementing these official
| communications, however, indicates
that on the left at least the allies
are not acting merely on the defen-
sive. The great turning movement
now is undoubtedly developing
through the corner of Belgium
bounded by France and the sea, but
the public remains In haze as to
whether the turning movement is
one on the part of the allies to get
around the German right flank, or
a German operation to envelop the
allies left.
The impression igrowA that the
Germans are determined to add Dun
Firk to the line of sea ports now
held along the belgian coast and
the allies are making desperate ef-
forts to hurl back the invaders.
Late reports through Dutch sources
declared that tho Germans have
been repulsed six miles from Ostond
and that guns are now heard near
that city. Other late reports,
| which lack confirmation, state that
the Germans have abandoned
Bruges
The movements along the coast
continue TO be more or less in the
nature Of reconnaissance move
ments, while The aim OF the fight
ing on the allies left centers around
Lille, which is, because Of its rail.
road and highway connections, Of
vital strategic Importance to the
Germans, From Lille two roads run
out to the west, one northerly to
Armentierres and the other souther-
~ to Fournes, through a country
which is enclosed and thickly popu-
lated
The Belgian correspondent OF the
Telegraph, in his account of the
Sighting, reports that British war
hip bombardcd villages which the
Germans had occupied and also the
ountry to the south Of these places.
"Then the order was given for
he infantry to advance" he says,
land The rattle OF machine guns
supplemented the noise of the naval
guns. The Germans were caught
between two fires and their lines be-
gan to wavcr and slowly gave way
/ before the pressure of the infantry.
The strength of the attack was
