 Paris, Oct. = Captive balloons to discover and observe the movements of the allied armies and powerful searchlights to point out the positions and to blind the defenses during night attacks are being used by the Ger mans in the great battle to the north and east of. Paris which still is with out definite result.
 Night combats have become quite an element in the action. They are telling of the stamina of the troops on each side, many of whom already are worn out on the firing line, seem ingly an amending struggle.
 The French public, who have shown calm, are patiently awaiting a decfs- ion. Col. Ro1Isset, military critics of LaLTbera1 sees in the latest maneuvers of the Germans somewhat of their daring. A large spreading movement of the flank of an adversary, he says. can have the inconvenience, generally grave, of en1arging the space which exists between the moving troops and those on the front.
 General Pierre Cherfils. in com menting on the situation, declares that the material organization of the .ene- my really is powerful and that all the French wounded are unanimous in saying that the Germans have had ex- ceIlent practical instructions and that

 Following Englands lead in the North Sea, where she felt comp pe1led to reta1iate against the German pro cedure of mine laying, France has an nounced similar course in the Adria.- tic where several trading ships have been blown up recently by mines The only positive news made public in London up to the present time from the eastern arena is reports that two are convergtng on Hossunezzo and Hnszt, towns about 15O miles from Budapest.
 Indirect reports current in London make the declaration that the Rus sians still are pushing the German forces back in the direction Of East Prussia The Germans are declared to be greatly handicapped in this movement because of the dying of horses in the swampy country around Suwa1k1 AS "a consequence much of their artillery has had to be abandon ed.
 Another whisper of peace has been heard as result of the efforts of the president has been at The Hague to bring about meeting of international. paeificists. This meeting. however, is said to have failed because of trans. portauon difficulties. The same req son has led to the abandoning of a session of the Hague peace bureau.
 A rumor was also current that the French government shortly will move back to Paris.

Ksondon~ Oct. With the exception of the left wing of the allies army, where there is reason to believe that lively actions are being fought, the great battle front fn the western arena of the war may today be described as a gigantic 'tsnfping' engagement in which riaernen have been replaced by batteries Of heavy artillery masked along the heights of the Aisne and duels seem to have succeeded the des- fperafe infantry charges with which durfng the early stages of the bat ItIa it was sought to clear the situa- lfaon at once
 One result of the present stage of operations has been a very appreciabTe id1ninution in the casualties. The most important development of the fighting in Franee, Is the reported movement Of German army said to 6@ ,0O0 strong, southward through EBeIgfum by way of Temple Neuve and
 Tournai near the French border. The French military critics predicted re- l%enxkiy that the allies would meet dis kagter if they stretch their line on the k1aet wing too far and 1t Is believed k2a1ro that the Germans now are seek E1ng to crush the enveloping move luaazzt.
