ASSOCIATED FREss DISPATCH,

LONDON, Nov. 1S.-The latest Of
ficial communications regarding the
operations on the western battlefields
are much the same as in preceding
days. There has been fighting viz
tually all along the front without an
appreciable change in the situation.
From the coast of Flanders to the
River Lys, on the Franco Belgian bor-
der, much of which was flooded by
the allies to prevent German attacks,
there has been a repetition on "a
smaller scale of the inevitable Ger
man hombardment preceding infantry
attacks.
In isolated spots there have been
attacks in force, but the British anu
French say these We're repused.
Around Ypres fresh German troops
again attempted to force the allies
out of their trenches, a task which
the Prussian guards failed 10 accom-
plish. Both sides. as indicated by
the casualties among the officers, are
losing heavily in the fighting. but the
Germans are on the offensive. Their
losses are said to be enormous. The
French Zouaves, who have frequently
distinguished themselves, were again
utilized to dislodge the Germans from
Bixschoote, over which there has been
much fighting These incidents il
lustrate the situation. First one side
and then the other gains an advan-
tage, but when all is told, the gen.
eral situation is about the same.
In the east the Germans and Aus
TRANS have turned after their retreat
from Vistula to face the Russians in
East Prussia, and in Poland, before
Cracow Each of these regions prob
ably will provide Il big battle. but the
most important will be that in Po-
land, where the Germans are send
ing their best and strongest armies,
hoping TO smash the Russian center.
This would compel the Russians 70
fall back to the Nistula and relieve
Silesia from immediate danger of an
invasion.
Concerning the fighting in the
Balkans and the near east, only scraps
of information are reaching the out
side world. In South Africa. General
Louis Botha, commander in chief of
the defense forces. reports the dis
persing of additional rebel COM
mandoes and the capture Of guns, am
munition and provisions. The Earl
OF CreWe disclosed in the house Of
lords today that in East Africa the
Indian troops are employed against
the Germans. That there has been
heavy fighting is shown by the fact
that the British casualties already
number 800.
The following wireless was received
tonight from Berlin by the Marconi
Wireless company:
In the latest fighting against the
Servians, the Austrians captured
forty-two guns and thirty-one ma
chine guns After three days fighting
