six hours, thigh deep In water. The
German machine gnns shot us out of
crevices In a raised bank only a few
yards across the river. The Germans

Some of the Germana climbed over and
we fired at their heads, ham? and arms

holes through the looser earth through
which we fired on each other. Then the

Commanded by fiana of

LONDON, Oct. a. The "bloody massa
cre," as it Is described by those on the
spot among the sand dunea and the canals
of Flanders, shows aa yet but tew algns
' of slackening. The valor of the German
! attack haa been persistently countered
I by equal valor from the steady ranka be
fore them. Apparently no quarter la being
'asked or given In this battle on the west
I ern front and the land over which It is
I being waged resembles a shamblea.
Seven times altogether the Germans
have crossed and recrossed the Yser.
Each time they aucceeded In gaining the
left bank they .found themselves In a
death trap commanded by the guns of the
defenders, immovably Intrenched behind
the railroad embankment running more
or less parallel .to. the a Yser, and com
pletely barring their progress. Pome Ger
man forces, according to the latent reports
In. London, succeeded In .finding shelter
enough among the sand hillocks to enable
them to retain a footing between the
Yser and the railroad running from
Dlxmude to Nleuport, but this number,
up to the present time, haa been Insuffi
cient to dislodge the allies! German re
inforcements are stilt rolling up and the
efforts to break through the line show
no sign of cessation. Nor Is it expected
thst they will until the exhausted masses
of men reach the limit of their endurance.
French Make Advances.
It la impossible for . observers in Lon
don to deduct from the German official
communications 'the -German opinion of
eventa In the arena of the' war. From
the point- of view of the allies, tha
French announcements of continued
progress between Ypres and Dlxmite are
considered veiy satisfactory as fore
shadowing a possible threatening of the
rear of . the . German . forcea . nearest the
coast. Another piece of favorable news
from the standpoint of the allies conies
from the Argonne and the region of the
barrier fortresses. 'This reports French
penetration of territory hitherto held by
the invaders and is taken to indicate the
possibility that the German left haa been

War Summary
Tta" great battle for poaaesslon
of th strip of const running
long the North Sea, from Osteud
to Calais, Is said by th French
to be swinging, slowly In fsvor of
tho allied forces. The assaults of
countless Germnn troops, which
apparently attained tht height of
human effort, were matched with
equal murage and ferocity and to
day (he offensive efforts of the
(iermans were said lo be relaxing.
For the third successive day the
French official statement asserted
the advantage lay with the allies.
It Is noticeable, however, that the
French claims In each Instance
hnvo been vague and bare of de
tail a.i to the capture of towns or
localities which may be set down
on (he map as marktnc a definite
advance at any point, "l'rogress,"
"ndvnnres" or "gains" are re
ported at various sections of the
line not closely Indicated. From
unofficial reports rroni the front
it Is Inferred that In the main the
conflict Is raging slong practically
the aame line as heretofore and
that the deadlock has not been
broken.
London reports unofficially
that the fiercest German attack
had diverted from the oeacoast
slightly to the south In the line
between Dlxmude and Ypres. This
may poiwlbly l explained by as
sertions that the Drltlsh fleet off
the const, said to have been driven
off or a time by Oornsan artillery,
has resumed .Its bombardment
,wlth telling effect, It Is mild, upon
the Germans.
Kastward along the main course
of battle, where comparative calm
frevallod for severs! weeks, there
are further Indications that henry
action has been resumed. Tues
day b official French statement
referred to successful attacks on
the German's center and eastern
end. In yesterday's statement It
Is said the Germans attempted a
violent - offensive movement nt
Crayonne. This assault, It Is
said, was replsed. . .
. The conflict In Gallcia still la
undecided. Both French and Rug
laas aseert that tha offensive ac
tion SKuinrt the Germans la being
pursued successfully In the fight
ing nosr Wasaw. . It Is re
ported unofficially from Petro-
grad, however, that the Russians
have not succeeded la pushing the
advantage along their left and
center s far a" they bud hoped.
An unusually early winter threat
ens untold hardships for the In
vading Germans and the disas
trous experiences of Napoleon in
his march on Moscow are recalled
by dispatches stating that heavy
blizzards are raging In western
Russia.
