Heavy Belgian Losses.

London, Oct. 29.-The Belgian army
is said to have lost one-third of its
members in the battle of Flanders, as
the present conflict has been named.
The German losses in the battle
along the User are placed at 10000;
those of the allies scarcely less.
Although the Germans have lost
ground near Dixmude, the allies and
the invading legions of the kaiser are
at this date still locked in a death
grip along the User canal in north
western Belgium and the fighting
there has been Of unparalleled fe-
rocity.

Germans succeeded in crossing to the

1t has been expected for weeks that,
yielding to German pressure and
promises, Turkey would break its neu-

Six hundred German officers have
arrived in Turkey since the war be-
gan. They brought siege guns, field
guns, and ammunition with them.

from 100000 to 100000 men ready to
take the field. The German officers
put the number at 100000.

London, Oct. 30.-The startling bit
of news from the battlefields today
was the declaration in official circles
that a German attempt to penetrate
the lines of the allies in the vicinity
of Lille had failed.
This repulse is considered of the
greatest Importance to the cause of
the allied forces. II the movement
had been successful it would have
compelled the allies, who are holding
the front through Ypres to the coast
to fall back toward Dunkirk.
Germans Menacing verdun.
Another important move was the eff
fort of the Germans In the east to
push their long promised attack to-
ward Verdun. Authentic news of ac-
ton in this region is lacking, but the
plans as laid down by the allies are to
prevent a break at this point no mat
ter what the cost may be.
1t is known that there have been san
culinary clashes In this region. Pris-
oners and captured guns brought to
the French lines have been evidence
of the conflicts. Heavy losses on both
sides are admitted. Trenches have been
evacuated and then retaken at heavy
cost.
Quiet In Belgium.
In Flanders, Belgium, the battle Of
the User and the series of fights along
the whole front in that vicinity appear,
with the troops now exhausted, to
have degenerated into numerous at.
tacks and counter attacks, in which
the gains and losses are about equally
divided.
With heavy German re-enforcements
coming up, the allies have decided on
a further move to check the advance
on Dunkirk and Calais.
