The rations on which England's

a short time before the war clouds be-

was excellent throughout. During
the first FIVE days the average loss In
weight was just over one-half pound
In the men and three-fourths of a
pound in the four officers. II was
calculated that the men we're losing
two and quarter pounds OF fat and
nearly six pounds of flesh during the
last five days. and the conclusion was
reached that the ration was too small
and that at least $500 calories shoulj
be furnished, or even 5000 for biz
men.

Paris. Oct. 15.-Lille has been cap
tured by the Germans. This is the
outstanding feature of an official state
centered about Lille for nearly two
weeks. The admission by the French
that Il has been lost indicates that
the Germans are gaining in their coun-
ter-hanking movement against the al
lies left wing and that the kalser's
troops will now sweep quickly to the
coast. The capture of Lille was eff
fected by German army corps, says
the official statement. The French
claim that they have gained ground
between Arras and Albert, southwest
of Lille, and also at the center OF the
battle front in the region of Berry-au-
Bac.
Belgian Capital Moved to France.
Official announcement was made at
Bordeaux that the Belgian government
was transferred from Ostend, which
is menaced by the Germans, to Havre,
France.
Members of the cabinet of King AL
bert have arrived at Havre,' where
temporary quarters have been provid
ed by the French government for
their use. II Is understood that King
Albert will remain with his army.
This announcement indicates that
the allies have little hope OF being able
to keep Ostend out Of the Germans
/ hands.
The announcement of the flight OF
the Belgian government to Havre
after being driven successfully from
! Brussels and Antwerp. is explained
! thus:
The Belgian government desires
full liberty OF action, and for thai
reason 1t was decided that 1t SHOULD
come to France"
Germans Pressing On.
A Times correspondent In the nortl
of France reports strong German col
umns of all arms passing through Bail
leul, in the French department of thu
Nord, in the direction of Ypres.
Bruges, for the second time in thii
war, is in the hands of the Germans
who occupied Client in force on Mon
day. The telegraph lines from BRUCE
to Ostend have been cut. Lens, whicl
is less than ten miles from Arras, ha
changed hands three times in tw,
weeks.
The greatest battle of the war, S,
far, is shortly TO be fought on tn
north end OF the opposing lines, be
tween Lens and Cassel, reaching pei
haps to the seacoast and connectin
with the left Sank engagements of tn
battle of Seven Rivers, now in it
twenty-ninth day, according to frag
mentary Information disseminated b
the press bureaus OF the belligeren
powers.
On this giant conflict will depen
obtain a North sea base from whic
to launch the projected aerial and In
fantry attacks on England.
Allies Occupy Ypres.
That the thanking movement of tn
allies left wing is making marke
gains is indicated by an official state
ment issued in Paris 1t states tina
the Belgian town Ypres, which is 2
miles northwest OF Lille and SO mile
south of Ostend, has been occupied b
the British troops
This announcement, which is tn
first official statement that has mer
toned English troops as operating 4
this section, shows that the allies LEI
wing has extended it's range OF wor
, nom France into Belgium.
