LONDON Nov 6.-No decision is yet reached in the battle in the sand dunes west of Flanders and the op- posing armies are now standing vir. tually as they have stood for many days While the Germans keep ham mering at the Allies around Ypres. which route they choose for a march to the coast after they had found the road along the sea barred, the Allies are making an effort to move north tc Ostend but neither side has got ten very far
 The Belgians and those supporting them have found the floods they creat- ed to stop the Germans are a hinder ance to their own movements, al- though they are able to occupy some villages. including Bixschooto. which has been occupied by the Germans.
 Around Ypres the German offensive according to accounts of the Allies, met with no successes. In fact all along the line there is merely a re- petition of the artillery duels and in. fantry attacks and counter attacks which sometimes succeed but more often do not.
 On the frontier in the east, more wide sweeping movements are being made by the opposing armies Rus siaus from all parts reports have driven back the German center to the River Warthe in Russian Poland and held back the German offensive from East Prussia and have now straight ened out the line for more vigorous offense against the Austrians who are trying to beat their left wing in Galicia
 It is for two battles in these re gions that the British military men are now looking. for they declare if the Russians can keep up successful fighting against the Germans relief will come to the Allies in the west because of the necessity for with dTawal of German army corps from France and Belgium to protect Sne- sia and Prussia.
 These military observers express a belief that the Turkish threat against Russian Caucasus will weaken the Russian armies by the withdrawals from Poland. but Russian authorities say the advent Of Turkey into the war already has been discounted and they have sufficient troops to deal with Turkey on the spot First re- ports of fighting between Russians and Turks are as conflicting as were the first Austrian-Russia accounts of warfare in Galicia. Each contend CT claims to have invaded the others territory and to have defeated his | frontier armies. These fights however have probably been only advance guard affairs and it is thought here that some time may elapse before a l pitched battle occurs.
 The Anglo-French fleet continues Co lombard the Dardanelles forts, but the Turks say warships inflicted no damage In other parts of Turkey British warships are being kept busy. l The government however, ordered holy places to be respected by the British gunfre as long as Indian sub jects visiting them are not molested. This necessity for respecting the feel- ing of her Moslem subjects, it is considered here may hamper Grea, Britain somewhat in prosecution of the war against Turkey, but with her the large Moslem population cannot be disregarded In addition assurance is received from Indian princes and England is informed by leaders of Moslems in Malay states that her war against the Turks has not af- fected the loyalty of Moslems to the | empire.
 The result of the naval battle in the Pacific between German and Brit ish squadrons details of which still
 are lacking here is naturally the
 most discussed subject of war in | England. It is realized the worst ac- counts may probably be true.
