In fact, as was expected, the Germans seem to have transferred their, more ttv ous operations further 'Inland and 'to be trying to break through "the allied lines from Lille, which if successful would com pel the allies, who are holding the front through Ypres to the coast, to fall back toward Dunkirk, ' Meanwhile the allied commanders an nounce that their forces are always tak ing a little more the offensive and lhey Intimate that It won't be long before they substitute an attack on the German. posi tions In' Belgium for the German attack on the allies' positions In -the north of France, fit this occurs, there will recom mence a aeries of 'siege battles for the German entrenchments which gridiron Belalum along its southern boundary.

All ot (he Gorman army corps on the left '.ank of the Vistula In Poland, are In (till retreat, according to an offJolal report from Petrograd made public here tonight by the Russian embassy. The report followa: "On October we overcame the resistance of the last troopa of the enemy endeavoring to put up a fight to the north of the River Pllica. At the present moment all of the Aub-tro-Oerman corps on the left bank of the VlBtula are In full retreat. "Btrykoff, EJow and Novomlaeto are occupied by our troops. Radom la occupied by our cavalry.

The Ger mans were said lo have lost prisoners and ammunition. The dispatch added: "In Gallcla the combat continues on the entire front with success for the Russians. "In a series of operations along the frontier between the Moselle and thi Votget we were able to dislodge sonn f I the outposts of the enemy. Prisoners wcro captured almost everywhere." Raaalaaa Tar. Fresh Troopa. LONDON. Oct. . The German retire ment from Poland and the resumption of the offensive by Rusxia all along the eastern battle front is generally ascribed In I-nndon to the enormous reserves brought up by the Russian commanders. Instead of two completely exhuusted armies facing each other along the Vis tula, as has happened frequently on tie banks of the Alsne, the Russians make dully changes, bringing regiments from the rear and thus allowing th fighters In the trenches to retire, and rest. This operation Is said to have been repeated so often that virtually every Ruslan sol dier within striking distance of the in vaders Is now a veteran. While this Ger man retirement may not be the rout pic tured In Petrograd, It is nevertheless held here to be true that the retreat has progressed so far that Warsaw Is today free of the menace of investment and with the pressure on their center relieved, I he Russians are how devoting more at tention to the campaign In Gallcla. I'rseatyal Holdlne- Oat. Petrograd reports that the garrison of Prsemysl is defending this fortrcjs with extraordinary obstinacy Tho forts are well armed and tens of thousands of workmen are employed In strengthening the fortifications. In anticipation of an lnestment, the supplies snd ammunition Sre targe. The weakness of the fortres4 Is reported to be found in the scarcity of provisions. Knorinous 'luantltics had been collected by the Auatrlans In out l)liig villages, but the unexpected speedy advance of the Russians resulted In the aiUure of these supplies. War Summary From the west anl from tho east German reverses are re ported. Germany acknowledges a check In Russian Toland. but concerning the great batllo In Flanders, It preserves silence. The only official word received by midday today was from tho French, who again made Indefinite claims to further progress. Not since the struggle Blong the North Sea began a fortnight ago has Germany made a statement upon which may be based Judg meut as to the course of events. The best Information avallaMo In dicates that, notwithstanding their dauntless Attacks and heavy sacrifices of llfn. the Germans are further from th coast than when the battle began. The secret of the Russian vic tory, writes a British correnpoml ent at Petrograd, Ilea In the vast ness of the Russiun emperor's army, which he estimate at 8,000,000 men. This enabled the Russians to keep an Immense re serve for every army, changing regiments frequently and never leaving the same men on the fir ing line long enough to become stale. Meanwhile the British, who de scribe their forces now on the continent as merely an advance guard, are training at home an army of 1,500.000 men, of whom 600,000 are from its colonies. Todny's French statement, while again optimistic in tone, gnve little specific Information. On the extreme western end of the battle line, where the fight ing has beon fiercest, there Is "nothing new," There la no In dication that Oermand Intends to abandon the fight for possession of the North Boa const. Unoffi cial reports have It that reinforce ments are being poured in from every part of the' battle lines, where they can be spared. To the south rand east, along the battle line across France, suc cesses are reported by the Freucb to the totitA of Arras, between ths Alans and tha Ar,goue, and In the forest, of Apremont. None of the German attacks. It Is said, have been, successful. The German cruiser Emden, whose remarkable exploits havo fairly earned a place In history, is reported to have performed the most daring feat of all. Pis gulsed with a fourth smokestack. presumably taken from some cap tured vessel, and flying the Jap anese flag, the Kmden is said to have sailed boldly Into the waters of Penang, a British possession In the Straits Settlement, and to have sunk a Russian cruiser and a French destroyer. The Emden was reported yesterday to have oent to the bottom a small Japan ese passenger ateamer. The long list of losses , on the sea continues to grow. Another ateamer is reported to have been eunlt off tho north coast of Ireland.
