PARIS, November 1.-THE battle in
FLANDERS Is rs FAR as ever from Il de-
cision. according to tho official COM
rnunications and Judged from stories
told by eyewitnesses arriving from the
battle front.
The Germans have given an om-
phatic denial Of the reports that they
were in retreat by carrying Dixmude,
on the User. twelve miles north OF
fpres. and on tho roud to Dunkirls
which the Germans are striving to at
tain. French bluejackcts at Dixnude
had held the town against them In tho
face Of fierce attacks Tor the past week.
but were finally compelled to give way.
The allies attempts to drive the Ger
mans out again have thus far failed.
On tho rest of the front as far ms
the River Lys. the situation. according
TO latest advices. remains practically
unchanged.
AS tho principal action latterly has
centred to n large extent around Dix
nude, the Germans arc entitled to
claim tho advantage but the French
are strongly posted In the vicinity, and
tho possession OF the village SO far
has availed them but little.

ion expressed here, Is somewhat com
