Another Expedition Will
Soon Leave British Port
for the Front.
LACK OF EQUIPMENT.
People of London Not Nervous Over
Outlook-Plenty of Recruits En-
rolling all the Time.

London, Oct., 17-England is rush
ing the preparations OF her ''raw
levies" much faster now than in the
early days of the war. AS result,
it is considered certain that another
British expedition will shortly be en-
route to the front.
There is now little doubt that the
German advance southwark along
the French coast is certain and. as IN
the last occasion, it will be British
arms that will be relied upon to
check it and drive it northward.
The chief difficulty up to date in
getting the troops into the field has
been the lack of supplies. When the
active army went to the front to
take its place on the firing line it was
accompanied by as efficient a quar-
termaster's department as ever eX-
isted. 1t is now felt that possibly it
was mistake to permit the chief
officers in this department to go to
the front. They have been badly need
ed in England.
Many of the new troops have
been unable to secure needed equip
ment. But Lord Kitchener now has
the new department. working in clo:i
work style, and equipment is being
turned out at rate heretofore con-
sidered impossible.
THERE'S no lobnger &c slightest nt!-
vousness over the outlook. Plenty
of recruits are enrolling, and their
training is being rushed with the
very equipment they will carry with
them into battle.

1t can be asserted positively that,
should Italy abandon her present at

of the Triple Entente, Roumania also
will al once make common cause
with the anti-German forces. 1t is
even possible that Roumania would
not wait for Italy's decision if she
could assure herself that Roumania
would not seize the opportunity to
provoke a third Balkan war and thus
divide the energies of the Roumanian
army. which at present, perfectly

FIERCE FIGHTING
IN HEAVY RAIN
French Reported to Have
Repulsed Attack of Ger
mans Near Lille,
GERMANS AT OSTEND
Allies Say General Situation is Con-
stantly Improving-French -Ad-
vance Toward Verdun.

Berlin, October IT, by wireless
According to announcement made In
Berlin today, German troops in the
vicinity of Ostend have reached the
North Sea, and fighting is going on
as far as the west as Dunkirk.
Belgium today appears to be al
most completely in German posses
sion. The French and British troops
are reported as cut off on all sides,
particularly around Ypres.
Paris, Oct, 17-Desperate fight
ing in heavy rain continues in the
northwest, according to the reports
reaching military headquarters today.
The Germans are reported attempt
ing to break through the allied lines
at point vaguely referred to as
'some fifteen miles from the sea
coast" but it is stated that at no
point have they succeeded in gaining
territory.
Reports that the French have re-
pulsed an attack in force in the neigh
borhood of Lille are widely circu-
lated.
Ostend, it is admitted, is now held
by the Germans in force. Another
port reported occupied by the Ger
mans with heavy force is the north
erly seaport of Zeebrugge.
However, reports reaching here
say the Germans have found it i'm
possible to push their advance south
along the coast because of the pre-
scnce in their p@th of a combined
Belgian-B British French army.
The general situation is reported
as constantly improving. The French
right wing, which has been driving
back the army of the German crown
prince, is combining with the right
of the French center and both have
succeeded in advancing toward Ver-
dun.
There is a growing belief here that
the French forces, who are carrying
on this campaign unaided, will be
able to relieve Verdun and to occupy
st. Mihiel.
Meanwhile the German lines of
communication from Metz are re-
ported in grave danger. Re-enforce-
ments have been sent into the line at
this point. "
In, addition certain "frst line"
troops have been withdrawn from
other points where they were not
needed. to assist in this maneuver
which, if it proves successful, will
transfer the f:yfting on the eass'ot
the line to German territory
