INVADING GERMAN ARMY NOW
 ONLY 50 MILES FROM CALAIS

H
 London, Nov. 12@The Russian suc- cess in the east, which for a time was the predominant feature of the war news, must again divide space with the accounts of the rekind1ed activity on the part of the Germans in West Flanders where the forces of Emper- tention of the allies that their att or Calais had finally failed.
 With DiHnude in their possession the invaders were today less than 50 miles from Calais and much near CT Dunkirk and the fight they have been putting up in the face of tre- mendous losses seems to bear out what has been said so often, that they will not abandon this struggle to reach the coast unless they are ut terly crushed The English and French theory is that the holding of Dixmuda is only temporary, that it's history will be much the same as that of other towns which have been taken and retaken in the fighting on the Yser. Butt whether this predic- ton will be borne out remains to be seen.
 In certain places north of Dixmude the Germans are at the least on the left bank of the Yser, that is, on the side nearest the French coast towns and their attacks instead of concen- trating to the southWard below pres apparently have been renewed almost to the coastIine. Here they drove the allies from Lombaertzyde only in turn to be driven out them

Paris, Nov. 12-The battle in Elan ders is as far as ever from a decision, according to the official communi- cations and judged from stories told by eye witnesses arriving from the battle front.
 The Germans have given an en- phatic denial of the reports that they were in retreat by carrying Dixmude on the ' ser. 12 miles north of Ypres jective French bluejackets at Dix nude had held the town against them in the face Of fierce attacks for the past week but were finally compelled to give way. The allies attempt to drive the Germans out again have thus far failed.
 On the rest of the front, as far as the river Lys, the situation. according to latest advices remains virtually laterIy has centered to a large extent around Dixmude, the Germans are entitled to claim the advantage but the French are strongly posted in the vicinity and the possession of the vtI- lage so far has availed the Germans but little.
 The setback at Dixmude, in the opinion expressed here, is somewhat comp pensated for by the progress made by the Belgians along the 1Iieu- port Ostend road If followed up this advance apparently would threat en the German flank.
 East and south of Ypres, the Ger mans seem to have found fresh mass es Of troops to hurl into the murder Isons fray but the allies seem to be holding their own. The country here is unduIatdng and well wooded. The villages are few and small, and most

 Avfators report the movement of troops and heavy guns on a large scale in the interior of Belgium, some going towards Germany, others to- ward Anntwerp and yet others to- ward Courtrai. The explanation of soned troops, capable of operating in the open, are being sent to eastern Prussia, their places in the trenches being taken by less trained men. The guns going to Antwerp, it is believ- ed here, indicate 9 plan for a strong flank position against the allies in case they advance on Brussels.
 The object Of the continuous Ger man attacks in Belgium and in the some of the French military critics is to achieve a. real victory which will obIige the allies left to fall back in order to reorganize and repair it's losses. The Germans would then leave as small a. force as they deemed safe to hold the allies and send the rest against Russia

For some time past there has been no mention of naval activities on this coast but it was assumed that this planned by the reported retirement from the coast of France and Belgium and the news that they were delivering their at taeks further to the south.
