LONDON, Oct. 2S.-The limit Of human endurance has been reached in the battle west of Flanders and fighting which slackened yesterday, came almost to a complete stop to- day There may have been some in. fantry attacks and these may con tinue but dispatches from points along the Dutch frontier state artillery firing has ceased and passengers crossing the channel bring the same news
 It is this doubtless that led to the report coming from northern France that Germans had retired, having giv. en up the attempt to reach channel ports. Tie fact is the two armies have fought themselves out temporar- fly. The Germans first effort to break through the allies lines failed. Neith- CT side could continue, the men hay ing been without sleep or rest for the ten days the battle has been in progress, over ground which at pres ent is @ morass.
 Germans succeeded last Saturday in getting some men across the Yser canal and put more across Sunday. But the force facing them was too formidable and now the opposing arm ies are taking a long needed rest There is every evidence, however, that the Germans intend to renew their attempt to force a way through to Dunkirk They are bringing up fresh men and more ammunition and guns, but at the same time they are taking precaution to prepare a second line of defense, should the forward movement again meet with defeat
 A new attempt it is believed will be made further inland for the fail ure of the first was largely due to the bombardment that the troops and artillery had to undergo from British and French warships off the coast of Belgium. This cessation oi heavy fighting seems to have ex- tended along the line as far as Arras and the result of it all is the Ger mans while they have suffered heavy losses have inflicted similar punish ment on the allies, farther away from the French coast than they were at the beginning of the battle.
 Small forces which have been left to hold the line from Disc to Mouse while the greater battle have been engaged in night attacks at different points with advantage sometimes go- ing to one and sometimes to the other. It is said in one of these night at tacks near Craonne the Germans lost 1000 men Along the Mouse the French are advancing slowly between Agreement and St Mihiel in their et fort to cut off the Germans who are holding the latter place.
 The German official report to- day says the Germans were forced to withdraw in Poland in the face of the Russian reinforcement. Russians claim to bs making progress against the Austrians who advanced through Galicia and attacked their left wing and on east Prussian iron tier they also say they repulsed the German offensive fin that quarter The Russians, having had plenty of time and bringing up immense num- bers of men are therefore able to take either defensive or offensive on the long front reaching from the Bal. tic to the Carpathians.
 The greater part of Africa has been drawn into the conflict lt is reported the Germans invaded Angola, one of Portugals African possessions anO that there has been fighting on the borders of German and Belgian col onies and that British and Germans have been having more skirmishes.
 Holland is growing uneasy in a fear that her neutrality will be vio lated. The mouth Of the Scheldt which the Germans now say that they have Antwerp, would fin d of much service to them and the eastern border of Netherlands where the Ger mans are massing troops and the danger points. The Dutch government declares it is prepared to guard its country's neutrality at any cost.
 RUSSIANS DEAL OUT
