Allies Gain in Flanders;
Enemy Now Intrenchlng

London. Nov. IA Reuter- dispatch
from Amsterdam quotes the "Handeis-
blad" as saying that all the German
attacks yesterday north of Newport
were repulsed and in some places they
were forced back several kilometres,
while the Allies on the left wing adj
vanced to Middlekirke.
The whole coast line occupied by
the Germans is strongly fortified, add
trenches have been thrown up near
Knocke.
1t is officially reported, says an Ex-
change Telegraph dispatch from Paris
that when the French captured Cues
noy-sur-Deule, six miles northwest Of
Lille. yesterday, they took 200 prison
ers. two guns and large number Of
quickirers.
"The way to Bruges is now open to
the Allies owing to their recapture Of
Roulers, and the Germans are dig
ging new trenches behind Client with
feverish energy. To do this is 70 an
nounce their retreat" This statement
is made in "The Observer" in a dis
patch dated "Near the Franco Belgian
frontier" The message continues:
Their (the Germans) losses have
been enormous. A German officer,
captured yesterday, estimates that
there have been 10000 killed or
wounded since the occupation of Ost-
end, in northwest Flanders, alone.
Whole batteries and battalions have
been annihiated by the she'll fire from
the warships.
Thousands have been drowned as
the result of the opening of the dikes.
In hand 10 hand fighting the German
losses have far exceeded those of the
Allies. Thousands of bodies Of Ger
mans floating on the inland sea bear
bayonet wounds
"Only the Min roads and railroad
tracks remain exposed above the flood
ed area. The shattered German regi-
ments are being given no time to re-
form and amalgamate. They are aban-
doning their wounded, guns and trans
rorts. Unless their fleet comes out to
create diversion they will be driven
from the Belgian coast within a
week"
"As showing the huge German losses
in the Ypres region it is stated that
the British soldiers have buried more
than 25,OOC Germans" says a message
TO 1.-THE " eekly Dispatch" from one OF
its correspondents in Belgium. The
telegram continues:
"There are many great piles of Ger
man dead around Dixmude, which 1T

EGYPT UNDER ENGLISH
DIRECTION 40 YEARS
Presents the Anomaly of Being Nomnaly Tributary
State of the Turkish Empre-Ruled by
Khedive, Hereditary Prince.

Nominally a tributary state of the
Turkish Empire, with ruler whose
power is only slightly less than regal,
actually Egypt has been absolutely di-
rected by Englishmen in government
affairs for more than forty years.
In 1867 Ismail Pacha, by dint OF
heavy bribing, obtained from the Turk
ish government the title of Khedve.
The title is Persian in origin and sig
nif,s a king. The rights enjoyed by
Ismail Pacha, the first Khedive, were
virtually those Of royalty, including
that of primogeniture.
In 1870 Ismail Pacha asked the help
of European powers in conquering
Central Africa. There followed years
of warfare with the tribes of the in
terror, in which Great Britain took an
active part. When peace was finally
assured Great Britain took an equally
active part in formulating a scheme OF
government. What at the time seemed
to be but a temporary occupation ne
cesstated by threatened turbulence,
became a virtual protectorate. The
Khedive, Ismail Pacha. had bought in
dependence from Turkey, but his de-
scendants deferred to Great Britain.
Egypt still remains tributary state
OF Turkey, ruled by an hereditary
prince, but since the rebellion OF
Arab in 1882 no important decree has
been promulgated without the appro-
val, previously obtained, of the British
Minister Plenipote gtiary.
France lost her hold in Egypt, where
for time she had dual control with
Great Britain, in 1882, following the
revolt of Arab. A massacre in Alex
andria and the subsequent reduction
OF its forts by British men-of-war
showed that military Intervention was
inevitable. Great Britain invited both
France and Italy to cooperate. The
invitation was refused.
The administrative government is In
the hands of Ministers appointed by
the Khedive, one of whom acts as
Prime Minister. There is also legis-
lative assembly and provincial coun-
ellis. The Ministers of the various de-
partments frame such DEGREES as seem
TO meet their needs and they are taken
up in council. If the Ministerial Coun-
Gil approves, the decree goes TO the
Khedive for signature.
A British financial adviser is mem
Der of the Council, eX-ofiicio, but has
no vote. No DEGREES involving the APP
preparation or payment of any money
or the adoption of any financial policy,

Germans Again Fail
to Cross the User Canal
La Cnble to M TrIhunc.l

BY cable 10 The tribune
Amsterdam, Nov. l. Stubborn eff
forts made by the Germans to cross
the User Canal again after their first
repulse have not succeeded The Eng
lish infantry brigade did brilliant work,
clearing the region at the bayonet's
point and driving the enemy out of his
trenches Moreover, the naval guns
did deadly work on the extreme Ger
man right The enemy's losses were
severe and the dead lay in heaps. The
Germans attempted 20 advance along
the coast beyond Nieuport, but were
repulsed.
It appears that big battle is de-
veloping between Middelkerke, wills
kerke, Slype and Westende. The Ger
mans moved up achievements, but il
is not believed they will be able to
make good their grave losses every
day. Long trains are conveying the
wounded from 0stend, Bruges and
Client. Several German soldiers have
been arrested in Client dressed in civ
ilian clothes to enable them TO desert.
The marines particularly are said TO
lie in low spirits, as they are not ac-
customed to lighting in the trenches in
the field.

however, can become law without his
consent.
For the last thirty years there mas
been nationalist movement in Egypt.
The present Nationalist party is
largely the work of the late Mustafa
Kamil. After his death its traditions
were upheld by Ahmed Ferid.
An Egyptian Reform, or Liberal,
party, with Ali Yusuf at its head, de-
veloped several years ago. Its ul.i-
mate goal is entire independence, but
until that is possible its members pre-
fer dependence on Great Britain to de-
pendence on any other power.
The entire organization of the army
is in the hands of British officers.
About one-twentieth of the popula-
ton of Egypt are Copts, or native
Christians. For the most part they
dwell in the central and upper parts
of the country, there being very few
of them in the Delta.

Petrograd, Nov. 1.-The situation IN
connection with Russia and Turkey
still remains obscure. Russia has re-
called all her diplomatic and consular
representatives from Turkey. but has
not yet proceeded TO acts of war.
Conditions on which Turkey may
avoid war include. of course. full

as such. according 10 the general
usages of war; that is. they must be
disarmed and interned in a neutral
port for the duration of the war.
As regards the Dardanelles, it is
probable that existing regulations Will
be left untouched in case of the best.
In case of the worst, of course, the
whole Eastern question will come up
for final settlement
The allied governments have doubt

question that can arise out OF TINS

cussion. If Turkey fails TO get out OF

able, the Dardsnelles is one OF the
main points for settlement.
On possible differences OF opinion
among the Allies on this point, Ger
many is basing all that part of her
plans which depends on the embroll-
ment of Turkey in the world war. As
on every previous occasion, her calcu-
lations here are at fault. When this
war is over there will be two great
waterways at the opposite eXtremeties
of the European continent whose nut
urs status must be settled as England.
France and Russia may decide. There
seems TO be no reason why both should
not be settled on the same lines
namely, handed over 70 small neutral
state and guaranteed to be Kept omen

From The Tribune Bureau
Washington, Nov. 1.-Anxiety is felt
in administration quarters over the
absence of official information regard
ing the Turkish situation. The latest
advices from Ambassador Morgenthau
reached here at IL o'clock last night,
but he gave no hint of a declaration
OF war between Turkey and Russia.
European diplomats here say they
have received no official dispatches
be9ring on the reported declaration
os war.
"All communication between Con-
stantinople and Washington seems to
have been cut off," said Acting Secre-
tary of State Lansing tonight.
While officials here doubt that there
has yet been a declaration of war by
Turkey or Russia, il was explained
by Mr.. Lansing that there have been
delays of from nine to ten days IN
the transmission of messages from
Constantinople TO the State Depart
ment and that several dispatches have
never reached their destination.
There is some apprehension in GER
tain quarters as TO the safety Of
Americans, particularly missionaries,
in Turkey. 1t is pointed out, how
ever, that the North Carolina and the
Tennessee will be available for relief
work in the event of alarming condl-
tions developing. State Department
officials are inclined to believe the
missionaries are in no immediate
peril.
The Turkish Minister of the In
terror to-day informed the American
Ambassador in Con tantinople that
Turkish warships within the last three
DAYS had bombarded Sebastopol.
