GERMANS AND ALLIES HAMMER EACH OTHER IN VICINITY OF
 YPREs WITHOUT GAINS.
GERMANS BLOCKED AGAIN
In Their Effort to Reach the French Coast-Engand's Disaster in the Pacific Is the Most Discussed Sub. Ject in Britain Now.

London, Nov. 5.-9:15 D. m-No oy cision has been reached in the battle ii tha dunes of West Flanders and the opposing armies are now standin. virtually as they have stood for man, days.
 While the Germans keep hammerna away at the allies around Ypres which route they chose for ther march to the coast, they had found the road to the sea barred to them the allies are making a move north. ward to Ostend, neither side having gone very far The Belgians and those supporting them have found that the floods which they created to stop the German advances are a hindrance to their movements, although they have occupied some villages, including Blk schoote which had been held by the Germans
 Around Ypres the German offensive according to the accounts of the allies has met with no success. In fact il seems that all along the line there has been merely a repetition of ar tlllery duels and of infantry attacks and counter attacks which sometima5 aSs otedeG but more often do not
 r. ic to fha h1ttrac th,s.. ,,,i.,,,.. that the British military men are now looking, for they assert that if tn Russians can keep up their successfm fighting against the Austrians and Germans. relief will come to the allies armies in the west because of the necessity for withdrawal of German army corps from France and Belgium to protect Slisia and East Prussia
 These military observers express benef that the Turkish threat against the Russian Caucasius will weaken the Russian armies by withdrawals from Poland but the Russian au- thorities say that the advent of Tur key into the war already has been dis. counted and that they have sufficient troops to deal with Turkey on the spot.
 The first reports of the fighting be- tween the Russians and the Turks are as conflicting as were the frs, Austrian and Russian accounts of the warfare in Galicia. Each contender claims to have invaded the others ter. ritory and to have defeated his iron tier armies. These fights, however, probably have been only advance guard affairs.
 The AngloFrench fleet continues to Lombard the Dardanelles forts. but the Turks say the warships have iH- flicted no damage. In other parts of Turkey, British warships are being kept busy. The government, how ever, has ordered that holy places shall be respected by the British gun fire. as long as the Indians just visit ing them are not molested.
 This necessity for respecting the feeling of her Mosem subjects, it is considered here, may hamper Great Britain somewhat in the prosecution of the war against Turkey, but with her large Moslem population it can not be disregarded In addition to the assurances received from the Indian princes, England has been informed by the leaders of the Moslems in the Malay states that her war against Turkey will not affect the loyalty Of the empire. The result of the naval battle in the Pacific between the Ger man and British squadrons, details of which are still lacking here, naturally is the most discussed subject of the war in England 1t is realized thaa the worst accounts, which include the sinking of the Monmouth and serious damage to the Goodhope, probably are true.
 Tt is the price of the admiralty says the average Englishman of this and other losses to ships that hays been sustained since the war com menced. The balance thus far Is on the side of Germany, but every Brit isher seems confident that when the main fleets meet, this discrepancy will be more than wiped out, It is be lieved here that should the German fortress of Tsi1g Tau fall, the British and Japanese vessels engaged there will start out in an endeavor to round
