British reports say this action is
decisive in its indications but Ber-
lin maintains that this advance Of
the Allied left wing is not of i'm
pOrtance.
The opposing battle lines now
extend from a point southeast OF
Nancy, France, northwestward to
Verdun, westward to Rheims and
to Noyon, thence practically
northward to Cambria, which is
not far from the Belgian border
in northwest France. The Ger
mans in eastern France have more
than held their own. They have
silenced some of the forts around
Verdun and have made some ad-
vances between Verdun and
Nancy.
Watch Northwest Battle.
Severe artillery duelllng has been
almost constant in the general neigh
borhood north of Rheims. where the
Germans have entrenched infantry
along the Aisne river and have en-
battled siege guns and other heavy ar
tillery in the foothills of the Ardennes
mountains. During the last week,
however, the opponents have rested
somewhat in both the eastern and cen
tral positions along the line. All eyes
and energies have been turned upon
the massive operations in the North.

Mr.. Cantrell talked with a wounded
German officer who said the English

they were not feared. But he de-

He said they charged standing up in

London, Oct 4.-Having repulsed
the German attacks. presumably in the
vicinity of Roye, the French, according
Sunday afternoon at Paris, have re-
sumed the offensive at several points,
while other positions on their left
have been appreciably maintained.
The great effort of the allies. to en-
velope the German right may there
fore be said to be again in operation,
Ind it is believed that the whole
French column from Roye northward
% Arras is moving eastward against
the German position.
1t is the same operation that has
been tried repeatedly for the last three
weeks in an attempt to reach the Ger
nan lines OF communication and en-
ircle the German army forming the
light wing or force it to fall back to
Belgium and Luxembourg.
The Germans have had a long time
IN which to make their. position Sc
cure, so there is lot of hard fighting
ahead for both the attacking forces
and the defenders. The defensive role
is now apparently being assumed by
the invaders.
In the center, from the Disc to the
Argonne. the two well-entrenched ar
mics are still watching each other,
ready at moments notice to meet
attacks or on the advice OF aerial OBJ
servers. to move to some point where
the line is threatened.
While there have been many official
movements, there is little. according
to the French report, to record. In
other words, the situation remains vir-
tually as it was.

More than 5000 Of these are from the

The Germans have begun active
operations against Antwerp, temporary
capital of Belgium. Their heavy ar.

Belgians are reported, however. to
have re-occupied Malines. They have

Belgium again has become the scene
of serious operations. The invaders

the forts protecting the river cross

A German report says that two forts

deny this.
Germans Hold Positions.

Winter Germany's Ally.
While time is of the utmost value
to Germany in it's French operations
every week of delay forced upon the
Russians means a week nearer the
winter weather that will ally Itself
with the German defense. For this
reason Austria's desperate resistance
in Galicia is of great value to Ger
