The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1914-10-22

Of official reports from Paris and
Berlin. leads to the conclusion that
all along the western battle front in
France and Belgium the Germans
have resumed tthe offensive but with
their efforts directed against the al
lies left. News supplementing these
officiRl communications, however, In
dicates that on the left at least the
allies are not acting merely on the
defense.
A great turning movement Is un-
doubtsdly developing through the
cOrner OF Belgium bounded by France
and the sea, but the public remains
in a haze as to whether the turning g
movement is one on the part Of the
allies to get around the German right
flank or German operations to
envelope the allies left.

there Is no important news.
German Attack Tremendous.
Paris, France The outcome Of the
battle In the north, according to the
judgment Of observers in Paris. still
remains undecided. The furious con-
test in that part of Belgium and
France isregarded here as having
reached Its height. The Germans,
who first apparently yielded to tho
offensive Of the allies, are now fore
ingstpt the maximum lines OF the
French and English. In this the
Germans are assisted by troops from.
Antwerp and an other German forceh
available in Belgium. The allies
however. are apparently fighting with
the greatest ardor and determination

despite the extraordinary resistance
OF the enemy.
