London, Oct. 12-9:25 D. m.-The
finger of the censor having twisted
the toriquet on all sources of news
from Belgium, just now perhaps the
most potentially important scene cf
the fighting, the British people were
forced to content themselves today
with the official communication from
Paris and even a close anlysis of this
showed no marked change in the
situation fayoring either side.
From the east came tidings of a
decided reversal in form, the d. s,
patches both from Vienna and Petro-
grad indicating that the Austrian
army at Przemysl, SO often reported
surrounded, hopelessly outclassed and
on the verge of surrender, had turn
ed on the Russians with the aid Of re.
Inducements and forced them to re.
treat.
The first news of this claim EN-
anated during the morning from the
Austrian capital. 1t was followed
later in the day by what purports 10
be Petrograd admission that the
Russians lad abandoned the siege Of
Przemysl for strategical reasons with
the object of drawing up a new line
against the Austro-German army in
other points of Galacia.
Whatever may be the truth of the
situation, the Russians have been
claiming an unbroken series of vic
tories in their sweep through Galicia
and the coincidence of todays dis
patches. supplemented as they are by
more circumstantial accounts from
Vienna of vigorous Austro-German
cffenseiye, seemed to presage inn
portant news.
The British and Belgian troops who
retired from Antwerp before the Ger
man occupation with the exception
Of those who now are interned on
Dutch soil as a result of having had
to cross the border, have been STA
lowed up as completely as if they had
been buried under the ruined forts.
For military reasons their positions
and the area of hostilities in Bel
gium must remain obscure until the
turn Of events bring them sharply to
the fore again as was the case when
after the fall of Antwerp the British
public learned for the first time that
the British forces had assisted the
garrison.
Optimistic, as always, the British
press, besides contending that Ant
werp is of no Importance to Germany
las a naval base, finds solace in the
argument that the release of the a
lied troops there more than counter
balances the troops which GERMANY
will send from that point into France.
The official communication from
Paris indicated that this left wing is
stretching daily and nightly further
west and north and will soon reach
the coast, if the opposing sides con-
tinue throwing out cavalry in an en-
deavor to outflank or break through

FROM Lle BaItle front, via PARIS,
Oct. 12.-11:4G p. m. The battle field
northwest of Lille was the point OF
greatest interest in today's news Of
the great conflict which already has

for days seeking to go through o.

at dusk the detachment was compel1-

The rest of the party took up a posi-

The Germans continued their pur.
