Thinks Efforts to Maintain Neutral.
ity Should Be Appreciated.

LONDON, October 2O.-King Albert of
Belgium, in an interview given the rep
resentative of the Daily Telegraph at
the headquarters of the Belgian army.
in which he expressed thanks for the
help given the Belgian people. said he
hoped the American nation would re-
member that Belgium had been scrupu-
lously. exact in carrying out its obliga-
tions as a neutral country and that the
United States, as neutral. would not
forget how the neutrality of Belgium
had been violated.
The king added. according to the cor
respondent, that when the war ended
this fact should bear heavily ON the
terms of peace.

that the progress from Ostend has been
slower than the usual impetuous Ger

say that they have failed until some
thing more decisive occurs between

Position "Eminently Satisfactory"
The correspondent of the Daily Mail
in the north OF France sends this dis
patch regarding the situation there:
"A big battle is in progress along the
front extending from Ostend to Lille
In competent quarters the position OF
the allies Is regarded as eminently sat-
isfactory.
The enemy's attempt to brush past
our left wing to the Straits of Dover
is rapidly coming to ignominious fail
ure. Their line of attack was intended
to extend from Ostend through Lille to
Douai. but the steady succession of de-
feats of the past fortnight has broken
the power of the southern half of the
line and instead of a united army
marching in an unbroken line. across
Pasade- Calais and the north depart
ments there is left merely a series OF
detachments. They are still large, but
wherever they have given battle they
have been soundly beaten.
Force Reaches Its Maximum.
The emperor's channel expedttionary

could hope for from the withdrawal of

sons in Brussels, Antwerp and Bruges

goes to certain destruction.

Belgium.
The communications issued in behalf
of the allies last night enabled Britons
to visualize for the first time in ten
days the approximate battle line after

showed how the allies during the days

Belgians In Thick of Fight.
| The fighting is now centering only a
few miles southwest of that city, and
the Belgian army, heretofore reported
as having repulsed the Germans on the
banks of the River User. is again in
the thick of the fight. being credited
with bending back the German line as
far as Roulers, Belgium, thirteen miles
northwest of Courtrai. which point they
are holding, according to the latest
reports available when this dispatch
was written.

contention that they have reached the

are in a state of panic. If the Belgians
are holding Roulers it seems incredible
that the Germans have advanced so
far, as that would mean a complete
