LONDON. Oct .17. Keports reaching
London say that German Imagination baa
been fired by the taking of Ostend, and
that the cry ia not only "on to Callala,"
but "on to Boulogne." What progrees. If
any, the. Germans have mad since they
entered Ostend Thursday morning la not
.known here, but their next objective ap
parently Is Dunkirk.
Opinion In England ems to differ as
to what part the British fleet would play
should the battle continue to skirt tha
coast lino. Reports that British dread
noughts would back up the French,
British and Belgian forcee from tha
straights of Dover, seem to originate In
German sources.
London papers generally deprecate the
Importance of German occupation of the
Belgian coast, pointing out that the Brlt
lah mine field prevents the enemy's bring
Ing ships to operate from the none too
apacloua harbor of Oatend. The fact re
mains, however, that as the- fighting gets
geographically nearer Dngland. the public,
heretofore discussing and speculating on
a Zeppelin raid, asks what will coma
next.
It Is unquestionably true that If Ger.
many is able to engineer submarine at
tacks from a base further away, Oatend
certainly would be of . some strategic
value.
Allies' Left Haldta Its Groaad.
The allied left to holding lt ground. At
some points It la even moving forward,
having occupied Laveotla, driving the
Germana back toward Ijtlle. One report
had It that the Germana had been driven
out of Lille, but this has not been con
firmed, i
The presence of Uhlans has been re
ported recently within forty miles of
Calais, but a glance at the map In the re
gion of the cavalry clashes of the last few
days, which for a time extended as far
wast as Haxebrouck, shows that notwith
standing the German claims of victoria,
the allies have made steady progress,
Laventlne being considerably east of the
town mentioned.

BERLIN, Oct. 17.-Vla The Hague and
London.) Preparations are under way
for a glgSntio battle In the eastern
arena of the war, where Austrian and
Oennan armies have taken positions
along the river Vistula and the river Ban,
and are ready for eventualltlea The re
taking of Praemysl, as announced from
Austrian sources has permitted the un
folding of ths power of the Austrlans
from the direction of Lemberg, and their
advance In the southern Carpathian
mountalna Is menacing the extreme loft
wing of the Russians.
Desperate fighting already la going on
along the center of the two armies on
the banks of the Vistula. This action
has been In a measure delayed owing to
the bad condition of the roads In south
ern Poland and the presence of sections
of swampy land. This condition has
made necessary detours on the part of
tha Austrian and Oennan forces.

To challenge this argument, however. Is
the fact that significant developments
are said to be taking place near Lille.
The resistance of the allies there to re
peated unsuccessful attacks by the enemy
has given them great encouragement.
' Mistakes of Generals.
General Ckerfils. discussing In an ar
ticle published today some of the mistakes
made by the French and the Germans.
says the forts of Rheims were considered
indefensible, and consequently disarmed
and abandoned. The Germana have In
stalled themselves In this position and
for a month the French have been held
In check before these fortifications. "This
comparison demanda an explanation,"
General Cherflls goes on. "In the first
plaoe, there fl only a slight difference be
tween the strength of siege artillery and
that ef large field cannon. While the
forty-two centimeter guns have proved
conquerors of modern forts, earthworks
well defended and supported by heavy
field guns of large caliber are capable of
resisting their assaults for weeks. We can
derive a lesson from .these facts for the
rest of the campaign.
"One regrettable mistake was shown In
our abandonment of the forts of Brimont
and Nogent The Germana certainly
would not have brought against these
forts tbelr heavy artillery liberated by the
fall of Maubeuge. They utilised this ar
tillery against Antwerp.
The Germans made a mistake In leav
ing In Belgium certain army corps which
would have been most useful if they had
used them immediately against ua. Now
they come too lata"
