BELCIANS AVOID TRAP
SET BY THE GERMANS

Paris, Oct. 16.-A Franco-Belgian-
British column passing out from an
acute angle of depression in the line
of the German advance, and with the
French maintaining a successful of.
fensive along the center of what now
must be considered the 500-mile front,
Paris is again optimistic.
Escaping from the German encir-
cling movement the allies have sue
ceeded In delivering a smashing blow.
The fighting along this line is terrific.
Paris expects to hear of the German
occupation of Belgium channel ports,
but success seems to be attending the
allies offensive slightly inland and
will make this effort, in their belief,
an empty victory.
From semi-official reports here the
battle line across the Franco-Belgian
frontier extends nearly due north and
south. General Won Hehlers right
wing rests on the North sea near Blan-
kenberg, a small city ten miles north
Of Ostend. His line reaches to the
River Lys, in the neighborhood of Cou-
terai, sixteen miles east of Ypres,
now held by the allies.

nothing will be announced until there
is a decisive turn to the conflict.
The general staff admits that the
German forces total nearly 100000
men, composed of the Austrian army
reorganized after the defeats of the
Austrian troops in Galicia and twelve
German army corps. 1t is estimated
here that against this vast army Rus
sia has concentrated a still more i'm
pressive force, probably twenty-six
Russian army corps, totalling about
100000 men.
The position of these opposing
forces has been compared here to the
strategical positions assumed by the
allies and the Germans along the
River Aisne, at the very start Of the
battle of that name.

that the movement will begin as soon
as some of the troops operating on
the Russian frontier can be trans.
ferred to the western theater of the
war. The transfer is said to have
begun, as ordinary train service in
Germany is delayed forty-eight hours.
The rigidness of the censorship
precludes more than guesses as to
which side scored in the fighting
which followed the retirement of the
Belgians and the advance of the Ger.
mans in the vicinity of Ghent. In the
rear of the city it is said that the
Germans have 100000 men and all
signs indicate that violent battle for
possession of Ostend and other chan.
mel ports is imminent or in actual
progress.
Where Is Belgian Army?

which retreated from Antwerp is not
yet known to the public. Nor is the
composition of the allied forces seek

Desperate fighting continues on the
western wings of the opposing armies
on the Belgo-French frontier. The
French officers report the Germans
have evacuated the left bank of the
Lys river, but between this stream
and the canal of La Bassee the situa.
ton is unchanged.
Some idea of the fierceness of the
fighting in this region can be gained
from the fact that the town of Roye,
now in possession of the allies, has
been taken and retaken twelve times
