Battle Lines Move Northward.

Special War Dispatches of the Chicago Ex-
aminer and the London Daily Telegraph.
Bordeaux, Oct. 8.-The great battle
which has lasted now for nearly a
month is spreading more and more
northward. The French movement to
Arras was met by a German move
ment from Lille, and it is now clear
that the fighting on the line from Lens
TO La Bassee, eight miles due east OF
Bethune, is direct French parry to
the German advance from Armentieres
and Turcoing, both of which are nearly
on the Belgian frontier. The distance
which separates the scene of the pres
ent battle from that of the Marine can
thus be measured.
Liens Is 81 miles north of NOyon
and 104 miles north Of Meaux, the
point at which the Germans ap-
proach nearest to Parish
Cavalry Engagements.
London, Oct S.-The German right
wing cavalry has succeeded in push
ing its advance from Turcoing west
to Armentierre. Here it is engaged
with cavalry from the allied armies.

Further evidence that the Germans

Western Battle Near Climax.
All the interest Of today's bulls-
tin, then, is concentrated in the an
nouncement that the opposing fronts
extend into the neighborhood of Lens
and LIZ Bassee, and are prolonged by
masses Of cavalry, which are engaged
as far as the district of Armen-
tlerres.' 1t is apparent that when, in
yesterdays bulletin, the advance
guards Of a German force coming
southwest from Lille were reported
they already had been provided for.

sides are at grips, with the main
bodies of troops approaching behind
them. (Here a passage has been de-

repelling these assaults, they have
continued to extend their lines toward

1ermans Retire IN the East.
London, Oct. 8.-The German war
office today admitted that it's forces
have been forced to retire in Russian
Poland. They abandoned the bonn
bardment of Ossowetz fortress, &C
cording to dispatch from Berlin via
The Hague, and assumed a strategic
defensive movement.
After setting the city of Ossowetz
on fire with shells, they were able to
retire with their siege guns and a
pontoon train. They destroyed the
railroads to the frontier and are hold

The sturdy citizens of Belgium, to
whose defence the allied armies owe
their opportunity to check the ad-
vances of the Germans, are complain
ing on account of the lack of support
given to them by the allied armies.
When they made heroic defences
from the forts of Belgium, checking
the German army. If there is one
chapter in the history of the present
war that will stand out as an example
of bravery and heroism, regardless
of the merits of the controversy. it
is the defence made by the Belgian
soldiers in their fight against the
overwhelming forces of the German
armies. Had it not been for this
check by the Belgians, there is little
doubt but that France would have
received a crushing blow long before
the allied armies could have concen-
trated and the remainder of the war
might be practically the same as the
history of the Franco-Prussian war
in 1870 and I'll.

in ireland, in fact, to turn the en-
tire force Of Irish volunteers into
division of the English army and
send them to join King Georges

possibly happen that would do more
toward bringing about a feeling of
real ingratitude than having it go

Irish people recognize this situation
and they realize what their friends
