The Times today prjats a long -dispatch,
ta which Its correaponHent at ' Nancy,

a vivid picture of th fighting on th
right wing of the French army.
"Though the French official eommunt

"they do not nican that the opposing
armies are marking time. The Oerroaas

no exaggeration to say that these opera
tions spell the supreme effort of the In
vaders to break through tha allies' line,
t'alaa; Aircraft More,
ttolng denied the use of warships,
which have been rendering good -service
for the allies, Germany Is said to be
throwing Its aln. craft, and particularly
Zeppelins, more and more Into the fray.
and flews dispatches relate that tha oper
ations of Zeppelins, have been a marked ,
feature of the fighting to the southwest
of Ostend, toward which seaport the
troops of France, England and Belgium
are said to be working their way.
This, In brief. Is a broad view of the
situation In France and Belgium from
the English standpoint. Which side had
the advantage la not known except to the
general staffs of the opposing armies.
AH the publto will know, barring some
thing unforeseen In the nature of a catas
trophe to one array or the other, wtll be
that the terrlflo artillery duel near the
Belgian roast has continued, and that
one side waa pushed back her only to
advance there, aa was explained In the
official communication Issued at Paris
last night
Deadlock Ceatlaaea.
Over the remainder of the long battle
front the deadlock continued. Plight
progress Is claimed by the French at
various points in the Woevre district, but
the general positions of the opposing
forces Is changed In no Important par
ticular. Regarding the situation In the east,
there Is, as heretofore, a conflict of
claims. The French war office asserts
that the Germane are falling back to the
south of Warsaw, aa well aa to the west
of Ivangorod. Advices from Russian and
Austrian sources arree that one of the
bitterest battles of the war la In progress
along the River San. Aa official Austrian
statement reports the repulse of Russians.
Plapatrhea from I'etrograd, however,
state the Austrian assault was repulsed
by vigorous counter attacks of the Rus
sians.
Into the monotonous routine of official
statements and to technical details of the
fighting waa Injected a picturesque touch
by the report at Toklo of Vic Admiral
Kato, verifying the German claim to
another audacious feat oa the seas. The
vice admiral admitted that It apparently
was a German torpedo boat destroyer
and not a mine which sank the Japanese
cruiser Takachlho oa October IT. As the
cruiser sank the men went to their death

PARI9. Oct. 24. (1:54 p. m.)
The official communication given out
at the War office this afternoon says
the Germans have made progress to
the north of Dlsmude and in the vi
cinity of La Bassee, but that the
French have nuu.de material advances
to the west of Nleuport. In the region
of Langemarck, and between Armcn
tleres and Lille.
The text of the communication Is
as follows:
"Tha battle continues, on our left
wing. The enemy has made progress
to the north of Dlxmude and in the
vicinity of La Bassee. We have
made very perceptible advance to
the east of Nleuport, in the region of
Langemarck, and in the region be
tween Armentieres and Lille. It is
a question of Inevitable fluctuations
In the line of combat, which, how
ever, maintains itself as a whole.
"On the rest of the front several
German attacks by day and by night
have been repulsed. At various
places we bavp made slight progress,
In the Woevre district our advance
has continued In the direction of the
forest of Mortmare, to the south of
Thiaucourt.' and In the forest of
LePetre of Pont-A-Mousson."
LONDON, Oct. W.-What a Oerman
military expert has called a life and death
struggle for Germany la still raging along
the coast end of the western battle front,
and every Indication shows that the in
vaders are hurling their full strength
against the allies In a determined effort
to capture Dunkirk and Calais.
Strange reports come from various cap
tured cities In Belgium of evacuation, or
the preparation for departure of Oerman
forces, but these movements may merely
mean that every available man Is being
thrown forward to the Franco-Belgian
frontier and does not necessarily forecast
the abandonment of positions. Antwerp
Is said to have been practically deserted
and the wives of Oerman officers in
Brussels are said to have received orders
to leave within forty-eight hours.
Paris reports that the action on the
allies' left continues with great violence,
especially around Arras, LaBassee and
Armentlere. where some of the most
desperate fighting of the war has taken
place. Here the usual see-saw occurs,
first the allies giving some ground and
the Oermans doing the seme at soma
other point, but without either gaining
what might be called a technical advan
tage over the other.
A special dispatch states that the allies
have advanced further on Ostend, their
lines now extending from the coast to a
point between Slype and Steplerre Cap
elle. Other dispatches delate that the
Oermans, after a success on - the Tser,
are leaving the coast and working around
by Dlxmude to Lille, thereby clearing
the way to Ontend and leaving their posi
tion open to a flanking movement by the
allies.
One thing emerges clear from all the
reports and that Is Incessant fighting pre
vails over the West Flanders front from
Routers to Thourout and between Nleu
port and Ostend.
Petrograd reperta a continuation of ths
pursuit of the Germans retreating from
Warsaw and admits an unexpectedly
rtubborn resistance to the Russian of
fensive from the Austrians on the San,
while the official Vienna report, after
detailing successes before Praemyal and
a dashing movement toward the Vistula,
admits that the Russians were permitted
to cross the San la several places.
England Is hoping today that.the career
of the famous German commerce de
stroyer Emden is ended. This hope Is
based on two more or less cryptic cables
from Bombay, one Issued by the Bombay
government declaring that all sea routes
may be considered reasonable safe from
t o'clock In the evening of October &
and the other an unconfirmed report from
Bombay to the Morning Post dated the
22d. that the Eroden has been accounted
for.
The problem of feeding the starving
people of Belgium la dally growing more
acute and the American commission finds
Itaeif hampered try the food embargo pre
vailing here and the equally hopeless
task of finding adequate supplies la Hol
land.
England's crder sgalnst the importation
of sugar Is significant of the sovern-
menl's attitude towards the movement of
any commodity that might assist its
enemies.
That the Russians, generally speaking,
continue to hold the vpper hand In the
eastern arena of the war is the gist of
most of the dispatches reaching London
and accepting this at tAie. Englsnd thinks
that the putting of Germany on the de
fense In this territory will prevent It from
transferring aay forces to the weetern
arena.
Verdna-Aamla to Front.
The French fort's at Verdun came to the
tore again today as a result of news from
Oerman source to the effect that Oer
man forces are drawing closer to these
positions and tliat the French sorties are
falling.
London newspapers are treating as
significant the withdrawal of Oerman
troops from Antwerp and Brussels, but
theso movements would appear to be only
part of Germany's plan of reinforcing
its ngnting nne.
The dragnet for Oermans and Austrians
In the British Isles is still spread out, but
there has been a temporary lull In these
efforts due to the lack of adequate deten
tion camps.
