region that the Germans are cOncen-

lines TO reach the French ports on
the English channel
Already the Germans have gained
an important strategic point in the
recapture OF DiXmude. Their latest
Official announcement is of an eN-
tremciy optimistic nature from the
German standpoint, for they report
good progress around Hpres, the TAX
ing of DiXmude with 500 prisoners,
the capture Of the first line Of the al
lied position west of LangemarCk
with 1000 prisoners, the repulse OF
fierce counter attacks by the British
and the holding of the heights to the
north of Armenticres, and a further
advance to the southwest Of Lille.
French Say Little.
In comparison the French official
statement Is meagre. 1t confines itself
to the mere announcement that the
Germans have continued their efforts
without achieving any new results.
The British parliament has been
assembled to take whatever steps are
needed as the speech from the throne
put It, for the prosecution to Il vic
torious issue" OF the war
Premier Asquith in his speech at
the opening of the parliament de-
clared that he doubted whether the
war would last as long as had been
originally predicted. but that 1t would
last long was certain. The premier
announced that the chancellor OF the

Sought Friendship.
King George in his speech asserted
that, in conjunction with the allies
he had strlyen TO preserve a friendly
attitude toward Turkey, but that bad
COunsels and alien influences had
driven her into policy of wantOn
and defiant aggression" He expressed
appreciation for the proofs which his
Mussuiman subjects have hastcned
to give Of their loyal devotion and
support"
In east Prussia, Poland and Galcia

Austrian troops have evacuated cen

that this movement has been a vOlun-

LONDON, Nov 1.-THE Germans
have resumed their attack on the al

Iys river and while the French claim
generally to have held their positions,
the Germans have succeeded In cap
turing the town OF DiXmude, which
has been the center OF some of the
fiercest and most sanguinary fighting
of the war.
The country between DiXmude and
Ypres, where the belligerents have
been engaged in violent attacks and
counter attacks for weeks past and
where the losses have been heavier
