GEAR COMMANDS
 HIS BAL TIC FLEET

London Oct. 26-The following telegram has been sent by the Rus sian minister Of marine, Rear Ad- nltraI Grigorovitch, to the commander of the Russian Baltic feet. according to Petregrad correspondent of Reu-t ter's Teegran Company:
 The Car charges me to express to you and the fleet his gratitude for the activity this autumn season in keeping to the sea. despite dangers from mines and submarines. With skill and endurance the Bal tic fleet has fulfilled the task or guarding the littoraI and sapporting the armies on land. Despite the enc rnyss numerical Superiority and tenn erity he has obtained no definite sue cesses.
 ! s.The Car believes that God will bless with ultimate victory the Rus sian sailors who are struggling for tlla glory of their dear country.
 Regarding the operations in Poland, the despatch says:

GERMANS MAY THROW FULL
 STRENGTH ON CHANNEL PORTS

London, Oct 26.---As claimed by Berlin and acknowledged by Paris. the Germans undoubtedly have crossed t11e Ysersrdver between Dixmunde and Nieuport, but whether orr not this means a forward step in the "on to Calais movement may depend on op- erations further to the eastward
 Rumors continue to come into L4oH- Hon of the impending evacuation of Ostend and the reduction of the Ger man garrison in Antwerp. This does not necessarily mean preparations for a retreat, but it may mean that the Germans are throwing every available man against the allies left in their effort to conquer the channel ports
 Along the Belgian nttoral, the allied fleet continues it's bomb ardment The great shells travelling three miles in Hand evidently have proved very eff fectiVe judging from the. tragic fate of General Von Tripp and the mem kaers of his staff who were killed by q projectile from a warship.
 Al reports agree that the fighting in West Flanders has been terrible be- yond any witnessed during the e war. Projectiles hurled from the landy the sea and the air. are sweeping this fiat unprotected country,a destroying yiI- lages and searching out the sterror-5 stricken inhabitants who delayed too long in getting out Of the line of fire.
 Paris reports that to the west ana to the south Of Lille fierce attacks by the Germans have been repulsed. Re- ports indicate that the French aerial service has responded to the demand
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1914-10-26

for aid. No recent aerial attacks have been made on the French capital and. 1t is announced along the battle front that five German aeroplanes have been destroyed by French airmen.
 Reports from Vienna indicate that along the battle line from the Carpa- thians to the Russian border through Galieia, fighting continues but without any definite result. Petrograd claims that the Germans still are retiring from Warsaw in :precipitate flight and that they. are also evaeuating Lodz- The Germans attempted to arrest the Russian offensive movement at sSo-7 khatchiff, but were dislodged from their positions there with heavy losses.
 The question of the early return of the French government to Paris is be- ing seriously considered. This indi- cates that the military situation is satisfactory from the standpoint of the allies but the authorities believe that the battle along the sea coast be- cause of the German advances near La Bassee, will be more prolonged. than was at first anticipated. If the government does return to Paris such a step undoubtedly will have g tre-s ,mendous moral effect.
 Essad Pasha, the chronic disturber of the peace of Albania, is saidaat have invaded northern FpirI1a If this is true it may bring about the en- trance, Of Italy into the conflict, ac-g cordfng to opinion in London Essad,ss activity may compel Italy to consider the necessity of occupying Avlonas a step which might not meet with favor in AustrolHungary.
