London. Nov. Is ts;3o p. m.)--Thc
latest official communications re-
garding the operations on the western
battlehelds are much the same as
those OF preceding days. There has
been fighting virtually all along the
front. but without any appreciablc
change In the situation.
From the coast OF Flanders TO the
river Lys. on the Franco Belgian
border. much Of which has been
flooded by the allies to hinder Ger
man attacks, there has been a repeti-
tion on somewhat smaller scale of
the bombardmcnt which the invaders
invariably resort to In the hope of
breaking down the allies resistance
before infantry attacks. and in iso-
lated spots attacks In force, but ac-
cording TO the French and Brltleh re-
ports, all these have been repulsed.
Strong Attacks Rcpulsed.
The Anglo-French forces, which
have been holding the territory
around ypres, have again been sub
jected TO determined attacks. fresh
German troops having attempted 10
force the allies out OF their trenches.
a task which the Prussian guards
few days previous faiied TO accom-
plish.
As was the case with the Prussian
guard. the Germans who made the
latest effort appear TO have taken the
first line OF trenches, but like the
guards. found themselves attacked on
the flanks and were compelled to
give back the ground gained after
holding Il for a short time.
Both sides. as shown by the cas-
ualty lists of the officers. are losing
heavily in the lighting. but the Ger
mans ON the offensive and no often
after success was nearly In
their hands. are said to have suffered

The French zouaves who have fire.
quentiy distinguished themselves by
dashing charges. have been utilized
again to disiodge the Germans from
! position near Bixehoote. over which
here has been much fighting, and ac-
,ording to the French communication
hey have again been successful.
These incidents are merely exam-
Dies of what has been occurring In

valley. around Rheims, in the Ar

old, the general situation remains
lbout az II was.
Try To Break Through.
Reports come from France that the
Germans are preparing to make an-
,ther attempt to get through to the |
.oast BY way of Ia Bassce. but Ike
he rufnor that they are preparing |
or q retreat, there is no confirma-
ion.
In the east, the Germans and AUS
rians have turned as their retreat
rom the vistula to face the Russians
n East Prussia, IN Poland and before
,racow. Each of these regions prob
bly, will provide big battle, but the
most important Will be that In Po-
and. where the Germans are send
ng their strongest and best armies
d the hope OF smashing the Russian
enter. This would compel the Fus-
ians to fall back again to the Vis-
ula and relieve Silesia from the Inn
nediate danger Of an invasion.
Concerning the lighting in the Bal
ans and the Near East, only scraps
( information are reaching the out
ide world. In South Africa General
.ouis Botha, commander-in-ch chief OF
he defense forces, reports the break
