Dunkirk. France. Oct. 22.-Along
the road from Bolougne it is difficult
to tell whether you are in France or
Belgium. On leaving England I must
admit had an idea the Belgian army
would be out of action for some time
to, come. but this is far from being
the case. Powerfully supported by the
fire of British warships on their left
flank. they are steadily driving the
Germans back.
The Belgian minister of war has
temporary headquarters in this town.
Is most marked during the last few
days. Every one Is talking victory,
and cannot find soul coming from
the fighting line who any longer fears
the German offensive either against
the northern ports of France or furth-
er south.
The general consensus of opinion is
retreat. that is to say, he Is not hur-
rying. but is concentrating all efforts
safely to withdraw his exhausted
army to the line Of the Sambre and
the Meuse. The line of the Sambre
has been strongly fortified.
Allies Position Strong.
A general who is not given to boast
ing told q friend of mine yesterday
he considered the position of the al
lied armies better than it has ever
been and that the generalization of
the Germans has been growing great
er day by day. He added

sells under a month. myself expect

Yesterday there was general ad-
vance all along the allied line. The
army advanced from Roulers and
drove back the Germans consider

little resistance. except with artillery.
They are covering the retirement of
their masses Of half-demoralized, half
starved infantry by we'll sustained ar
tillery fire and have used heavy guns

formidable branch of the German

Yesterday they abandoned Lille.

Of the damage is not known.
Allies Make Many Prisoners.
A great many prisoners have been
taken by the allies during the last
few days. Those captured in Belgium
declare without exception that they

This is the story they were told every
day by officers to induce them to make
greater efforts to retrieve their rap
idly declining fortunes. The French
believe that directly it becomes known
by the army that they are back on
Belgian soil, general reaction will
even more demoralized than they ap-
pear to be at present
There Is no doubt tho allies have
now got the whip hand and should
succeed in driving the Germans out
Of France and western Belgium with

the elimination of S cents gallon

publicans voting against it.

ing vote. 126 to 81.

Petrograd. via London. Oct. a.
Refugees who have reached Petrograd
from Russian Poland have brought
information concerning a secret sys-
TEN of communication by telephone
OF which the Germans have made ex-
tended use.
troops enter a town in Russian Pol
land some officer at once asks to be
directed to the home Of a non-Polish
resident, giving the mans name. In
the house of this individual there ie
invariably found a telephone and the
cellar is we'll stocked with benzine or
gasoline, canned soups and other pro-
Visions. BY the use of this telephone
the Germans endeavor to establish
communication with their rear. They
inform headquarters Of their exact
whereabouts, and at times even seek
from villages ahead of them informa-
tton as to the best roads for their ad-
vance.
The Russians are now taking steps
to destroy this system Of communica-
tion, which is said to be widespread
in Russian Poland.
Deprived of Command.
Paris, Oct. pa dispatch to the
Havas agency from Rome says that
2 report has been received there from
udtne, Italy, which states that the
Austrian general. Bruderman, the
defender of Iemberg. has been de-
prived of his command and ordered
court lmartialed.
Austria Short in Meat Supplies.
Venice, Oct. 22.-Austria and Hun
gary are confronted with a serious
shortage in their meat supplies, ac-
cording to information received here.
Although the prices in Vienna and
Buda Pest have risen considerably
during the past fortnight, the live
stock offered in both these markets
has been far below the quantity re-
quired for the normal consumption
Of the population. The situation is
further aggravated by the necessity
to provide meat for the troops in the
field.
The fact that higher prices have
failed to attract larger supplies of
live stock to the markets Is taken to
indicate that the total stock Of cattle
within the dual monarchy is inade-
quate to meet the present extraordin-
ary demand for meat. and since there
IS no immediate likelihood Of being
able to increase imports of cattle the
situation is regarded as serious.

Tor the delayed retirement Of the Bel
gian army from Antwerp, there was
no reason why 1t should ever have
been abandoned.
II the enemy's eventual intention
ts to hold the line of the Meuse and
the Sambre, the conquest of Antwerp
is of the smallest value to them. Be,
tween Antwerp and the Meuse is q
stretch of open country with no de-

garrison isolated.
Unless the unexpected happens and
the Germans are able to bring great
reinforcements from the Russian from

and Belgium owing to tremendous
pressure against their right wing.
From the Battle Front. via Paris,
Oct. 22.-The Belgian army, with the
English channel on its extreme wing,
Is showing marvellous fighting spirit
despite its long and hard campaign
ing and the bitterness of the loss of
Antwerp and other large cities.
In the terrific open struggle which
tier for several days the Belgians,
with the allied French and British,
have repulsed with the greatest en-
ergy incessant German attacks
Today, like yesterday, the German
heavy artillery poured q heavy bonn
bardment on the allied positions, but
the Belgians. undeterred delivered a
counter attack and forced the invad-
ers to retire nearly five miles.
Further down the line on the Lys
the French were closely engaged with
general success.
Three French sharpshooters per-
formed brilliant feat in defending q
bridge. the possession of which was
OF the greatest strategic importance
to both armies. The Germans made
a cavalry dash in an effort to seize
the passage, but the Frenchmen, be-
hind a mill IS yards away, poured
their magazine fre into the Germans
until the latter retired, leaving the
bridge in the hands Of the allies.
Around Lille, where the British are
In action. there has been fierce fight-
ing. particularly In the neighborhood
Of La Bassee, which threatens the
German possession Of Lille Street
fighting has been very severe between
the long lines of houses connecting
the sister towns Of Roubaix and Tour
Going. In baker shop one of the
German troopers was found In an ov-

Along the center, the artillery ac-
ton continued today without great
change but several German trenches
