LONDON. Oct. IS. The only fact which Englishmen are able to point to today as a basis for their belief that the climax has about been reached in the sea. land and air battle across the channel, Is that the armies cannot Indefinitely face the decimation of their ranks which has marked this latest phase of the great campaign. Tor nearly a week now. this tripartite combat has raged with unabated fury between forces up to the present time so enual In strength that the fronts have swayed back and forth without either being able to register a decisive victory. That the alnughter In these fierce efforts and counter efforts to break through op poalng lines transcends anything hereto fore seen In this campaign is admitted on both sides. Nevertheless neither the terrible effect of the long range British naval guns over flat lands offering no natural defensive positions, although vouched for both officially and unof ficially, nor the onslaughts of the allied forces on land has yet succeeded In stem ming the "hacking through" tactics of the Germans. Sweeplaar Claims I' aeon finned. English news dispatches make sweeping claims of annihilating successes, German advices assert continued progress, and Russians telegrams report great vic tories, but well defined evidence to sup port these various contentions Is lacking, and the real facta appear to be that tn neither the eastern nor the western arenas of tha war has the tide yet turned ' decisively. The great haul of merchant ships by the German cruiser, Karlsruhe, new fully confirmed from Las Palmas, has been a rude shock to those who have contended, that the Atlantic ocean was held safely by the British navy, but tha apologists have lost no tl.e In pointing out that the fleet cannot at the aame time convoy hundreds of transports and safeguard very merchant ship. The sinking of merchant vessels without loss of life. It Is remarked, involves no military injury, while the capture of a group of trans ports would be a disaster. Chambers of commerce, however, are agitating for a sweeping operation sufficiently wide to net both the German cruisers. Eraden, in Indian waters, and the equally successful Karlsruhe. -.;,,... Gersuia Meveaeal Partly taeceeds. PARIS. Oct. 23. "The Invaders, having first failed before Albert and Rove, and secondly before Arras. In their attempts to envelope the French left wing, are be lieved to have been more fortunate in th region of Bethune, Mertille, Ballleul and Armentieres," says a Habas agency dispatch dated '"Before La Bassee in October." "For this reason, after pushing to wards Haxebrouck, (thirty-two miles northwest of Lille), and Aire, on the Lys, they undertook October 14 an offensive, following the Lys river. German cavalry crossed the river toward Erqulnghen, and supported the right wing of the bulk of the German army, which proceeded aouth and southwestward with the evident In tention of turning Bethune and seising the railroads, which the Germans believe have been used for supplying tha left wing of the allies. "We defeated this maneuver, and then occurred serious cavalry fighting, which, owing to the nature of the terrain, left the Issue confused. The district In which these Interesting operations . occurred Is an extremely difficult country. It is es sential agricultural and is interspersed with rivers, canala and deep depressions. The properties arc divided by hedges and rows ot trees, making communication from one field to another difficult, but excellent for ambuscades. Nevertheless the allied cavalry fought successfully at Estalrea, Fleurbat. - Laventle, VlelUe Chapelle, LaCoutre and Richeboum. "The battlefields bear numerous traces of the severity of this fighting. At Vlellle Chapelle a German cavalryman and a French mounted rifleman, after losing their horses, continued their en counter to a neighboring cottage, where with drawn swords they fought a duel in the kitchen. Both were mortally wounded and their graves are now side by side in the cemetery in the village church. Here the tombstones have been knocked down, while the church itself shows shattered stained glass windows and is without steeple and roof."

Information given out today in Berlin says: "The Danish ateemor Rolf, from New York to Chrlptlanla, carrying J0.0O0 tons of com. has been captured by a British cruiser and taken Into Scotland.

LONDON', Oct. 23. (:40 a. m.) A dlpatch from Tenerlffe, Canary Inlands, to the Daily Mall, under date of Thursday, reports tbat tha Ger man cruiser Karlsruhe baa gunk thir teen British merchantmen In the At lantic. The news of the Karlsrule 'g ex ploit, according to the Dally Mail's Tenerlffe correspondent, was brought to the port by the German steamer Crefeld, which arrived there with the crews of the British steamers Strath-ray,- Maplebranch, Highland, Hope, Indranl, Aio lguaasu, Nlceto, Maria D. .Larrinaga, Cervantes, Cornish City, Prutb, Condor and Lyncrowan, all of which were sunk by the Karls ruhe. The Crefeld wag accompanied into port by the Germans, Fatagonia, We Negra and Asuncion. . t , , A, later message States that more than 400 men ef th crews ar prisoners. Tb ship were mostly engaged in the South American trade end their total tonnage Is about 40.000. The cruiser Karlsruhe, a alnp of a trifle leas titan i,0P0 tons, has had In this war a career aa eventful as that of Its smaller sister ship, the Emden, in th Indian ocean. The Karlsruhe first came Into notice at the outbreak of the war, when It ap peared ill the vicinity of Sandy Hook, apparently In wait for British merchant men leaving New Tork. For a few dayu Brltifh shipping hugged the piers and then came news that tha Karlsruhe had been driven away by the approach of several British cruisers. On August the Karlsruhe appeared in the harbor of San Juan, Porto Rico, where It coaled and again took to th seas. Soon after It was learned that tha Karlsruhe had been In a sensational run ning fight at sea with the British cruis ers, Suffolk and Bristol. It appears that the British cruisers came unexpectedly on the Karlsruhe while It was coaling from the German steamer, Kronprlna Wllhelm. The cruis ers engaged in a running fight, while the Kron Prince Wllhelm, through Its superior speed, easily esrsped. The Karls ruhe also eluded Its pusuers, and an un confirmed report had It that It damaged the Bristol. Since then th Karlsrun ha appeared In several West Indian ports for coal, after preying In .various southern sess on British commerce. An official state ment, given out In Berlin on October I, said It had sunk seven British steamers In the Atlantic. The Karlsruhe Is a comparatively new ship, having gone Into commission early tn IMS. It is very fast, having a speed of twenty-seven knots, which has enabled It thus far successfully to elude the per atstent BrltUh pursuit. Its main arma ment consists of twelve 4.1-inch guns and It carries a crew of ITS men. (Cwotinued on Page tht Column On.) (ConlLauodOp P&g Two, Column lour.) y - . . U. S. Commission for Relief of Belgians Organized in London LONIKiN. Oct. . -(Delayed In Trans mission.) The organltation of an Amer ican commission for tho relief of Belgium was completed at the American einbasy tonight. Captain T. F. Lucey and Millard K.

The operation of the cotuniltle have dlarlosed that owing to the desire of the British government that stocks of food should not be depleted by export. It Is extremely difficult to find even emergency provlHlons in England and the receipt of such supplies from across th Atlantic becomes more Im perative than was originally anticipated.

War Summary The Germans and the allies continue their desperate game ot give and take In West Flanders and northeastern France yester day, neither side claiming a de cisive advantage. French warships are said to have Joined the BrltUh naval forces forming the extreme left of the allies, and frcth German re inforcements are reported con stantly coming up. Not Mince the opening ot hostilities have the warring forces appeared to have been so evenly matched. The allied war craft In the Straits of Dover are shelling the German right without stopping the onslaughts of the German land forces. The allied armies have gained ground st eevornl points and have been forced to fall back at others. Yesterdays French official statement says that violent attack" are being made by the Germans all along the line from the sea to Canal IiAbassee. They also hare delivered heavy blows In the re gion of the Arrasand on the River Somme. Generally the allies have held tbelr own, though pushed back from some positions. They have progressed to the north and south of the River Homrne and in the regions of Verdun and Pont A Mousson. i The Germans appear to ba mak ing a new effort with new organ izations between the North Sea and the OUe. Paris learns unofficially that fresh troops have given a new Im petus to the German attack on the French right wing. . Russian kdriceS continue to In sist that he German advance on Warsaw has been turned into a re treat.
