Tho German war mnchtno has bat
tered its way into the Delglan town of
Dixmutlo. The ofllclnl French state
ment contains tho mlmlsston that tho
allies were obliged to fall back from
this point of vantage in the great
battle for possession of the eastern
shore of the British channel. As an
offset, the French war olllce states
that the allies' forces have advanced
along the North Seu coast, pushing
back the Germans and taking Lom
baertyzede, a small Delglan town a
few miles northeast of Nieuport.
Along tho remander of tho battlo
line, says tho French war olllce, there
is no cliango, except for slight pro
gress by the allies at a tew points. The
Uerlln view of the situation, however,
is optimistic,. Comment is made
there of the use of the expression
"good advances" in the latest afflcial
German reports concerning the fight
ing in the west, bolng tho first occa
sion on which such terms havo been
employed in this connection.
Paris is also hopeful as to the out
come in Bolgium,. Military critics
there take the view that tho Germans
are faced with the imperative neces
sity of defeating the allies, In order
that they may turn their attention to
tho menacing armies of Russia.
Tho German crown prince Is report
ed to have been placed In supremo
command of the German and Austrian
forces in tho east,.
Petrograd contradicts tho German
claim to an important victory along
the northern border, asserting that n
brilliant success has been won there
and that tho Russians havo begun an
invasion of east Prussia. On tho
southern end of the line Cossacks arc
approaching Cracow, while the in
vestment of Przemysll, from which
tho Russians wore swept back several
weeks ago, is said to havo been com
pleted for a second time.
