 "The Amsterdam Telegraf learns from it's Sluis, Netherlands, corre- spondent Nlat fighting has occurred in the vicinity of Bruges.
 After a brief battle near UrseI (ten miles southeast of Bruges) the corre- spondent says, the Germans opened the way to Bruges yesterday.

They also have appeared at Blankenberghe Con the English Chan ne .lnine miles northwest of Bruges and 12 miles northeast of Ostend) and are expected to arrive at Ostend to- day."
Norwich bulletin., 1914-10-16

In the northwest of Belgium the Germans are rapidly bringing their forces to the coast. They have occu- pied Bruges, about IA miles east of Ostend and have appeared at Blanken- berghe, on the North Sea, some twelve miles northeast of Ostend.
 In the meantime, however, the all lies have thrown a strong line out to the south of this, with the object of shutting off Calais and other French ports on the English channel. The allies occupy Ypres and their line is believed to extend almost directly northward to Nieuwpoort. This ter ritory.. within the next few days, will doubtless be the scene of heavy fight Ing if the reported plans of the Ger mans are carried out.
 French Forging Ahead. The latest French official statement announces gains on many points on the front, including the taking of Estaires, an advance of about two kilometres in the center to the north and east of Rheims and a further ad vance on the heights of the Mouse to the south of St. Mihiel.
 Both Armies Reinforced.
 Reinforcements have reached both the Germans and the allies on their right and left wings respectively, and these need only to be placed in their proper positions on the front for the blow to be struck which may prove to be a decisive stroke for one side or the other.
 That Emperor William of Germany is following with sharpest the for tunes of his soldiers Is indicated by the fact that his headquarters have been moved further into France. The imperial German chancellor, Dr. Won Bethmann- Hollweg and his suite have arrived at Brussels. All ReIsians Between IS and 45 Called
 to Arms.
 The Belgian government before moving to Havre ordered all males be- tween the ages of IS and 45 to enter the army within two days on pain of being considered traitors. King AL bert still remains at the head of his army, a section of which has formed a Junction with the allies.
 The Canadian troops. who arrived at Plymouth, have been ordered land ed and are already on their way to Salisbury Plains where camps have been prepared for them. The first of the Canadians to be brought ashore was contingent of the famous American Rough Riders.
 No Change in East. Prussia.
 Petrograd reports no change on the East Prussian and Ventral Vistuln fronts, but claims a. victory for a Russian column over the Austrians south of Przemysl. Vienna reports that, according to an official German communication. the Austro German armies have relieved the fortress of Hrzemysl.
 Bombardment of Rheims.
 The bombardment of Rheims con- tnues and the Rheims cathedral has been subjected to another shelling.
 Already the reyolting forces in Soutt Africa under Colonel Maritz have beer engaged by a column of the Union o1 South Africa troops and eighty of the rebels captured.
