LONDON. Oct 23.-The Germans have undertaken a general offensive movement along the line extending from the mouth of the Yser, on the North Sea to the river Mouse and while they compelled the allies to give ground in some places, they themselves lost positions in others. This in a few words is what is gath cred from official reports this after noon from French and German head quarters.
 The German attack is particularly severe in the west, where their rig wing. strongly reinforced by fresh troops attempted to advance against the Belgians. who are holding the all lies extreme left. This left rests on the coast and is supported by English and French warships and by Anglo French troops. which form front extending from a point somewhere in the vicinity of Dixmude southeast of
 
 successes but the French alone admit in places they have been compelled fo give ground.
 Generally however. there is little or no change in the situation and the lines are swinging and swaying as they have done for weeks. Although it is now just two months since the allies concentrated on the Franc Belgian border to oppose the Germans advance, the invaders have been al most to Paris and back in the inter- val and no decisive battle has been fought Neither side has destroyed or even partly destroyed an army. Even the Belgian army escaped almost in- tact after that the country was over run by the Germans
 The same can be said in the far east. where the armies of Russia Ger many and Austria are fighting, except in the case of Lieutenant General Samsonon the Russian commander. whose army was partially destroyed ! by Germans in the battle of Tannens- 1 berg in East Prussia.
 In the present battle on the Vistula from Warsaw south to the river Pilica, the Russians have scored an ! important victory in driving the Ger mans back and have captured many prisoners besides guns and ammuni ] ton. But the defeated army when it gets back to it's selected position, can entrench and start another siege bat tie, such as that which occurred in the river Aisne in France.
 Southward in Galica the Germans are still holding the river Vistula ! except the front fortress at Ivangord, where they have been driven back by attacks from that stronghold The Austrian army which was so often de- scribed as routed and destroyed fin battles in Galicia has sprung to life again, attacking the Russian left wing The Austrians however. apparently have found an impenetrable barrier at the river San, north of Jaroslau.
 The Germans claim a victory over tho Russians west of Augustowo and Suwalki, following fighting reported by them yesterday in the direction of OssoW etz. south of Augustowo which shows the Germans are attempting another advance from east Prussia into the government of Grodnow tC the east of Suwalki with an object of compelling Russians 10 reinforce the enemy in that region.
 All these movements, however have brought the belligerents no nearer their goals, which can not be attained until an army is destroyed. or one oi the other contending forces becomes too exhausted tO fight further.
 The admiralty issued a report to night in which it is stated the German cruiser Karlsruhe captured thirteeI British steamers in the Atlantic
