 LONDON. Nov 1.-The Germars resumed their attacks on the Allies lines between the coast and the Lvs River and while the French claim generally to have held their positions the Germans succeeded in capturing the town of DiXmude. which has been the center of some of the fiercest and most sanguinary fighting of the var.
 The country between Dxmude and Npres where the belligenents have been engaged in violent attacks and counter attacks for weeks past and where the losses have been heavier even than those in the battle of Yser was again the scene of battle. which for fury has seldom been euualed Behind DiXmude is thedirect road to Dunkirk, one of the French ports the Germans have set their hearts on and if they can break through the Allies will be compelled Co tall back to new positions
 The invaders therefore have been concentrating their forces at this point and their success in taking | DNmude, where they claim the cap ture of 500 prisoners, and the posi- | tions west of Langemark where. ac- cording 10 a Berlin report. 2.OOs pris- oners fell into their hands. show that the statements, so freely made. that they are sending troops west to Pol and. are without foundation. As a matter of fact, military men believe | that the Germans as soon as they saw 1 lt was impossible to carry out their design Of capturing Warsaw. des- patched the troops from that region to the west not omagining the Rus sian pursuit would be carried out with the rapidity with which it has been.
 At other points along the battle front in France, the French official communication claims some success es for the Allies, but the German head quarters stan declares sll attacks have been repused.
 ! It is considered quite certain that with the enormous forces required for aR effort to get through to the coast and to protect their own coun- 1 try from the Russian invasion. that ] the Germans will not be able to throw any additional troops into the line which is stretched through Northern | France and along the Franco-German | border On the other hand. the French, whose army is growing daily, might attempt an offensive against Lorraine or Alsace as diversion which would relieve the pressure in the west
 The Germans, according to Petro- grad dispatches, suffered more seri- ous defeat on the East Prussian bor. ! der than the official statement dis closed. Advices from the Russian capital state that in recent fighting there the Russians captured more than 10000 prisoners, together with quan- titles of guns and ammunition.
 The Russian advance in Poland, which has been at the rate Of four teen miles daily, astonished military experts and it is not surprising in the
 picking up of many foOt-sore and weary German stragglers This ad- vance of horse, foot and artillery has continued IS days.
 In Galicia the Russians continue Go push the Austrians back, but the Aus trians are having revenge along the Servian border, which they threaten to cross in an endeayor to crush Ser via before Russia can come to her as- sistance.
 Of the fighting between Turkey and the Allies reports are SO contradic- tory that there is no reconciling of them. Turkey reports victories against Russia and Great Britain which these countries deny
