The capture by the Germans of
Dixmude, the Belgian town near the
North Sea coast, around which des-
perate fighting has centred for weeks,
is admitted in the official communique
issued this afternoon by the Paris
War Office.
The occupation of this town shows
that the Kaiser has made progress in
his drive to the sea, although this
advantage is partly offset by the re-
occupation by the Allies of Lom-
baertzyde, few miles north OF Nieu-
port,
The fighting III the neighborhood
of Ypres is constantly growing
fiercer, indicating that the Germans
are also endeavoring to break through
the lines at this point. London dis
patches say that Ypres is still occu-
pied by the Allies, although other re-
ports declare that this town, as we'll
as Lille and Armentieres, has been
laid in ruins by the terrific lombard
ment from the German artillery.
Berlin reports good advances" in
the region of the Argonne forest, but
the reports from the Allies side main
tains that the Kaiser's forces are being
held in check all along this front.
Russians have moved into east
Prussia in two directions. They have
already advanced beyond Lyck to the
Masurian Lakes, with the design of
fanking the German army of Won
Morgen, which has been repulsed in
the Suwalki province, and preventing
a junction with the Kaiser's forces
further west. Another large force
has raided the country beyond Soldau,
with the great fortress of Soldau as
objective. This movement in the west
will block the passage of reinforce
ments to Won Morgen.

Kaiser is rushing reinforcement to

Russian advance through Silesia.
The Berlin official report declares
that the Russians have made little
advance, that they have evacuated
Bukowina and that they have suffered
a severe check at Konin, on the River

border. This report discounts the
