Repeated Failures in Attempts
to Go to Calais May Mean
An Early Retreat.
ALLIES PRESENT BARRIER
Through Which It is Not Be
lieved Germany Can Drive
Its Forces.


LONDON, Oct. 27-On a minia-
ture scale the status of the opposing
armies in upper Belgium ran parallel
today to the condition which prevail
ed when the Germans rush toward
Paris was checked. The German
forward movement has been charac-
terized by an even greater prodigal-
ity of men than was shown In the
march In the direction of Paris. The
invaders succeeded for days In bat
tering their way on and then sud-
denly came to something which
caused them to pause. Since Satur-
day no German gain has been record
ed and it is apparent that the allles
have eihter brought up such strong
reinforcements or entrenched them
selves so we'll, or both, that the Ger
mans must sacrifice man after man
for every foot of ground.
The fiat country in W&st %dnders
permits no such entertainments as
made the area of hostilities in France
famous but the British and Belgians
with warships at their Jacks have
dug themselves in wherever PRAGUE
able while throwing out every OBJ
stacle possible to impede the enemy.
Whether Germany can drive her
forces like 4 ram through the alFe>l
barrier is task, the result OF Wh1cn
should decide the success or failure
of her plans to reach Calais and
from there set in motion long
cherished scheme to harass Eng
land. On the otner hand the failure
of the German forces to progress. 1t
is. maintained by military observers
in London. probably would mean an
other retreat.
A statement issued by the official
press bureau indicated how slowly
each side must feel its way among
the hundreds OF little Belgian villages.
To go forward without careful re-
connoitering would be extremely per-
ilous as it never is known whether a
village is merely occupied by harm
less citizens or by armed forces ready
to attack.
The admiralty has not yet admit
ted that the monitors, working on
the Belgian coast, have sustained
damage, though the Germans claim
TO have reached the vessels with their
artillery.
The talk of Zepplins visiting Lon
dom has assumed second place along
side the speculations as to when the
German warships will dart from
their havens and engage the British
naval unit Englishmen can not ex-
plain to their own satisfaction how
