THE DAYS. MOVES
IN EUROPE'S WAR
English Official Bulletin Admits That
Allies Have Lost Ground - Forts
About Antwerp Fallen?

The allies have been obliged to give
ground at certain points on the west
ern side Of the battle line in France.
This is announced in a statement is
sued bv the French war Office at ;
o clock this afternoon. The announce
ment is brief containing only the ad-
ditional information that the battle
continues with great violence on the
Disc river without decisive results and
that there is no change on remainder
of front. A wireless direct from Ber-
lin to Sayville, l.. /. today brings
long German official statement in
which, however, there is no reference
whatever to the great engagement in
which the allies are attempting TO
turn the German right wing in north
ern France and break the German line
of communication to Belgium.
The German war office declares that
in the seige of Antwerp three forts
have been taken opening the way for
an attack on the inner. circle of forti-
fcations and the city proper.
As indicating the activity of the
London censorship it may be noted
that today's wireless is the first to
bring to this country the German of
fetal news of having reduced the
three forts at Antwerp. The fact that
such a claim had been made was be
traved by reference 10 it in the gen
eraI summary of the war situation
| from London last night showing that
| the German official announcement had
been received in London though it was
not permitted to reach the United
| States.
Belgian denials that any Of the
forts had fallen came from Antwcn
by way of London yesterday and
again today an official Belgian an
nouneement which passed through the
| hands of the British censor declare.
that the situation of the fortified po
sition around Antwerp remains uu
changed today.
The German war office says that the
Russian left wing was defeated aftc
furious battle Of two days on th'
Mienan river.
There has been nothing official from
Petrograd today but the most recen
reports official and unofficial from tn,
Russian capital set forth that the Ger
man and Austrian forces all alons
the fighting arna from the Baltic t
Hungary are being checked driver
back or routed.
The German infantry have appeare,
in the fighting territory of Kiao-Chaw
China. Toxic announces a surpris
night attack by infantry, but says TIL
attack was repulsed.
The Servians still claim to be abou
to capture Sarajevo, the capital of tn
Austrian province of Bosnia. An OF
fetal report from Vienna says that tn
Austrians are driving the Servians an
MontenegriE invaders from East Bos
MIA and that two Montenegrin brig
{ AIDES were repulsed after a severe er
gagement lasting two days.
