London, Nov. II. Germany's re-
markably persistent offensive in biz
zard-swept Flanders and stability af
ter her hasty defense along her east

Of which still was undecided today in
the great European war. In Flanders
the allied lines refuse to yield, while
in the east the Russians continue TO
push forward
The battleline in France seems for
the time being Forgotten, and the ac-
tions there probably will continue to
be of a sporadic nature until the al
lies in Flanders prove conclusively
that they cannot be battered in or un-
til the Germans prove that they can.

ALLIES HOLD POSITIONS in
ALL PARTS OF CONTESTED
TERRITORY, But AT A BIG COST

lSwinton, the official observer at the
British headquarters, gives today a
further chapter in his narrative OF
Operations at the front, bringing UP
his account to November 49, His lat
est report describes the fierce attack
of the Prussian guards on the British
lines in the neighborhood OF Ypres.
Colonel swinton's report issued
through the official press bureau, fol
llows
The diminution in the force Of the
German rush to the west has not last
ed long. The section Of the front 10
the north Of our forces was the first
to meet the recrudescence Of violence,
in the shape Of an attack in the neigh
borhood Of Dixmude and Bischoote.
segW turn esene nezF. After eight
days Of comparative relaxation, we
were under constant pressure from
Tuesday November 8, to Tuesday, the
tenth. The next day saw a repetition
of the attempt of the Germans to
break through our lines to the French
coast.
In spite of the immense losses suf-
fered by the enemy during the attack
against Ypres. the cessation Of their
more violent efforts on October 20
only signallzed the temporary relin-
quishment of the main offensive until
fresh troops had been sent to carry
on what was proving to be a costly
and difficult operation.
Meanwhile the interval was en-
ploysd in endeayoring to wear out
the allies by repeated local attacks and
to shatter them BY a prolonged bonn
bardment BY the eleventh. therefore
it seems they considered they had at
tanned both objects, for on that day
they recommended the desperate bate
for the possession Of Ypres and its
neighborhood.
Heavy English Casualties
Though the struggle has not yet
come to an end, this much can be
said The Germans have gained some
ground, but they have not captured
Ypres.
In repulsing the enemy SO far. we
have suffered heavy casualties but
battles Of this fierce and prolonged
nature cannot be but costly 10 both
sides. 81
We have the satisfaction Of know
ing that we have foiled the enemy
in what apears TO be at present the
enemy's main object in the western
theater Of operations. and have inflict-
ed immensely greater losses on him
than those we have suffered ourselves.
Tuesday November 10 was un-
eventful For instance, beyond our
left flank the enemy advanced IN
force against the French and were re-
pulsed. Directly on our left. however,
along the greater part Of the front.
shelling was less severe. and no IN
fantry attacks took place.
TO the southeast Of Ypras. the en-
emy kept up heavy bombardment
against our lines and that Of the
French. On our left the situation re-
manned unchanged, both sides con-
tenting themselves with furiona can
nonading. IN our center the Germans
retained their hold on the small
amount ef ground which they had
gained, but in doing 50 incurred
heavy loss from our artillery and ma
chine guns
