PARISIANS ARE
CONTENT TO Wait

Paris, Oct. 19.-While occasional i'm
patience is manifested at the lack OF
decisive news from the front, Parisians
have come to the realizations that the
battles have been transformed into
veritable sieges with their compare
lively slow operations. Even after the
battle from Dunkirk to Belfort is de-
cided army officers are looking for
ward to still another siege.
1t will be in the extreme north, in
the opinion Of Lieutenant Colonel
Rousset, that important events in all
probability will be recorded. Concern
ing this he says:
"The French and English forces as
sembled between Ypres and the coast
are giving the right hand to those who
have advanced as far as the immediate
limits of Armentieres. In front, the
German troops, of which we do not
know the strength, but which do not
appear to be very numerous, are in
stalled upon the line Ostend to Thour-
out and Menin. It appears then that
the encounter WI lbe in the vicinity of
(name depleted by censor), the
distance between the adversaries be-
ing thirty kilometers (twenty miles) or
more" "..
Lieutenant Colonel Rousset is dis
cussing the situation on the Russian
German frontier refers to the surprise
expressed that the Russians should
abandon at once more than 200 kilo-
meters (132 miIes) of territory and
take, up position at Warsaw. In
this connection he says that is this sea-
son of rains the Polish plains become
impracticable marshes where the
armies cannot move and the sending
of convoys cannot be assured.
The railroads also are inefficient and
provisioning is difficult, he says, and
adds that if the Russians preferred to
let the enemy run this risk rather
than themselves they perhaps have
been cunning.
The war has been hard on French
sport. A number of athletes have
given their lives. The latest name add
ed to the list of victims is that of
EugeneEstrade, champion swimmer of
France, who was killed in the battle
at Diego.
