LONDON. Oct F. The finger f the censor having twisted tourni- quct on all sources of news from Besium just now perhaps the most potentially important scene of li@,It- ing in the great war the British ppp- ple Were forced to content them selves with an official communici ton from Paris. and even close aIIa lysis of this showed no marked change in the situation favoring either side From the east came form of dispatches both from Vienna and Petrograd indicating that the Austrian army at Przemysl, so of ten reported surrounded. hopeessly outclassed and on the verge of sur- render, had turned on the Russians with the aid of achievements, anl forced them to retreat.
 The first news of this claim ema- mated during the morning from the Austrian capital It was followed later by what purports to be Pei lograd admission that the Russians have abandoned the siege of Prz- emysl for strategic reasons with ob- ject of drawing up a new line against the Austro- German army in other points in Galicia British and Belgian troops who retired from Ant werp before the German occupation, with the exception of those interned in Holland as a result of crossing the Dutch border, have been swal- lowed as completely as if they were buried under the ruined forts.
 For military reasons their posi- ti0ns and the area of hostilities n Belgium must remain obscure, until the turn of events brings them sharply to the front again, as when after Antwerp's fall, the British pup lie learned for the first time that there were British forces there

After deducting the necessary garrison for Antwerp, it is improbable that the Germans will have more than 60,000 men left to fellow them, which gives us a clear gain of forty thousand men to our left wing, without counting rein Agreements to be picked up on the way"
 The official communication from Paris indicated that this left wing IS stretching daily and nightly farther west and north, and will soon reach the coast if opposing sides continue throwing out cavalry in an endeavor to flank or break through.
 The allies make no claim of vic tory in the afternoon statement which opens with the remark that far north and west as HaZebrOucH, hardly a good days walk from Ca lais. When the allies claimed yes terday they had driven the Germans from Aire, London learned for the first time that the Germans had made substantial progress west from Armentieres which they reached last week
 Presumably the allies still hold the ground they claim they regained but the Germans are throwing more men westward, and putting up a hard fight. The communication did not
