MAKE ANOTHER CONCERTED EFF. FORT TO FORCE THE ALLIED
 LINE ON BELGIAN COAST.
GUNS HEARD IN ENGLAND
Boom of the Big Naval Guns as They Rake German Lines Can Be Heard Across the Channe--No Change in the Battle Front.

London, Oct. 31.-95o D. m.-The German attempts to reach the French channel ports were resumed with re- newed energy yesterday The Germans undertook general offensive tactics from the coast at Newport to Ara Is and while they made progress at some points they were repulsed at others and in some cases were com. pelled to give ground. Near the coast their advance was checked by an ex- tension of the flooded area.
 Today the battle ragged with the fury that marked the opening Of the last phase of this campaign, and even on the English coast the boom of the big naval guns which are bombarding the invaders flank could be distinctly heard.
 The allies have brought mp land and sea forces in an endeavor to check this second effort of the Germans to establish themselves on the Frenct coast, from which they hope to me ace England
 Te German official report issued early today announced that the Ger man troops had occupied Ramsca- belle. which is on the railway anu canal between Nieuport and Dixmude, but the French official eommunica- ton of this afternoon says they were driven out by a counter attack.
 Doubtless the extension of theI flooded area which now reaches be- yond this town, made the German po- sition unteaable
 On the whole, therefore, t would appear that the situation on this mos important battle front remains much as it was when the Germans, through exhaustion, few days ago. ceased their hea y artillery fire for rest The French report tells of various ad. vances and losses but these usually, so far as distance is concerned, can be marked in feet or yards, and tho advance made a few days ago by the British and Belgians of 1,200 yards was considered remarkable
 Throughout the great battle front there has been a repetition of attacks and counter attacks with at times pronounced thinling of the lines.
 The Germans made a particularly violent attack east of Soissons on the Aisne, and according to the Ger man report drove the French across the river.
 Reports that Lille has been reoecu. pied by the French and that Ostend has been evacuated by the Germans lacked confirmation and are consid- cred premature, but around the city fighting of most desperate character has been going on and the villages surrounding Lille have been taken tnd retaken time after time. The East Prussiaa frontier again is the scene of a big battle. The Germans for five days carried out heavy often sive movements but according to the Russian reports were repulsed with immense losses.

 The situation created by Turkey attacks on Russiaen towns in the CH mea and upon Russian ships in the Black sea should soon be cleared up. as Great Britain and Russia have DTS sented a demand to the sublime porte for an explanation Of the incidents, the dismissal of the German officers and men from IurBlsh warsnips ana the dismanting of the Goeben and the Breslau, the former German cruiser, until the end of the war.
 Turkeys reply may be delayed as It was announced tonight that tee9 nh communication with Turkey was in- terrupted 1t is not vet clear what damage the Turkish fleet has done a thougi. reports from different sources say that four Russian torpedo beats, mine layer. a collier and a coast guard ship have been destroyed
 It is believed here that Russia has made preparations to protect her Gas casus frontier but that she will not al tempt to invade turkish territory for the present. Probably the same atti- tude vii he adopted by England III ] Egypt. when, according 10 al uncon'
