LONDON, Oct. 20-The suspense of the past few days has been terrible and the news from France and Rus sia is so reassuring that the people are confident that the worst of the war is over and that from now on the allies will slowly crush the Ger, man offensive and invade Germany. Russian News Satisfactory To British. The reports from Petrograd are good. The Germans have been crush ed and driven back from thee Vistula with heavy losses. The Russians are foIcing them from Poland and have also held the positions in East Prus- sia taken week ago, and from Lem berg and Przemysl some the news that the Russians still hold all of Eastern Galicia
 French News Also Good for Allies.
 The reports from General French, in command of the British troops in France, are good. The report states that the allies have forced the Ger mans 10 evacuate Lille. The Bel gians have driven the Germans from Laventie and Estairs and forced the Germans to retreat from the plains of western Belgium, while the flank ing movement in Alsace is being con- tinued with success. The situation in France and West Flanders is more hopeful than at any time since the outbreak of the war. While it is known that the Germans have receiv- ed severe check, yet the kaiser's troops are not broken or disorganized and no serious defeat has been in- flicted, at least none that will force them to retire to the German border fortresses, which is what the allies are working for.
 BeIoians Prevent Germans Crossing
 Yser.
 The Belgian troops from Antwerp, after making the junction with the British, have succeeded in holding the Germans from crossing the Yser riv- CT, in southwest Belgium, and have inflicted considerable losses upon them. King Albert is in personal command of the Belgians and they are proving great aid to the allies, fighting like demons and shooting with remarkable skill The Belgian artillery is also receiving much praise from French and British command CTS.
 Using Gun Boats At Arras.
 The allies have sent a number ot gunboats up the canals at Arras and have thus been able to use big siege guns against the German positions and forced the evacuation of strong ly entrenched field forts. The gun boats moving from place to place could not be located with any amount of certainty by the German gunners.
