German forces keep gathering at the
allied lines to the south and east of
Ypres, but the French claim to be
satisfied with the present situation.
The allies, according to the latest Of
ficial communication, have been deiv-
ering attacks from the User to the
heights Of the Mouse, and record prog
ress at all points along the line. In
the eastern arena no decisive actions
are reported, but one may be expected
soon in Russian Poland, where the Rus
sian advance has come into contact
with heavy German contlngents. The
Austrians are moving back from the
Russian army in Galicia, but against
the Servans and Montenegrins the Aus
TRANS are apparently making marked
progress and again are threatening
Belgrade. The Germans have captured

NOVEMBER 20.
While along the fighting lines In
France and Belgium and In east Prus-
STA. Russian Poland and Galicia fierce
fighting continues and engagements
have been won and lost at various
places, nowhere has a decisive result
been achieved either by the allies or
the Germans and Austrians. In the
west the same dingdo fighting that
has been proceeding for weeks along
the entrenched line which extends vir-
tually from the North sea to the Swiss
frontier Is being waged-here an ar
tiilery duel, there an infantry attack,
with lines. however. remaining but
slightly changed. In the east the bat
Ting Is more in the nature of field
operations. Here there are claims Of
victory by both the Teuton allies and |
the Russians and an admission by the |
Russians OF at least one defeat-near
Bzoure, Poland. Petrograd says that |
here the Germans forced back the |
Muscovite troops and that they gain |
ed foothold near Lenszyca and Orloff. |
All along the east Prussian frontier, |
however. Petrograd declares the Rus |
SLAMS have made successive advances
and claims that in Galicia they have |
captured the passes of the Carpathi-
ans, through which the Austrians
would be forced to wend their way
back into Austria in case of decisive |
defeat. According to Berlin, the Rus
slams were forced to retreat near
Soldau. From Petrograd by way of
Paris, however. comes the statement
that terrific battle of unexampled
violence has been proceeding for four
days arong Sodau, the Russians en-
deavoring to avenge their former
reverses at this place. throwing them
selves upon the Germans with indes-
cribable fury and carrying position af-
