But they it-ft it wot-ful road. The

ALLIES RESUME OFFENSIVE.

LONDON, Oct. 5.-General Von

Kluck, reinforced with troops from the German centre, continues to make a determined stand against the attempt of the Allies to outtlank him. French. who yesterday officially reported that all the German attacks in this reg-ion had been repulsed and that the Allies had resumed the offensive, followed this to-day by un announcement that. while to i.lie north of the Oise the battle which commenced seriously about Sept. 25 continues with great violence, no decisive result has yet been reached and that nt certain points the French troops have had to yield ground.

The Germans report the battle pro-

ceeding successfully for them. Both in London and Paris there is great coiiildeii<'e, although some surprise is displayed at the success oi' the Ger- innns in preventing nn outilunking nioveinent. There is it feeling, how- ever, that the Germans cannot extend their linc much further iiorili without weakening it at some points. Along the rest ot’ the linc there is no change so that progress in the region of Soissons and Woevre either has satis- fied them for the moment or they have been checked by the Germans. Of the lighting here, ns on their right wing, the German report says it is proceeding favourably for the German arms. Naturally progress by either side must be extremely slow, for after every advance the troops must cn- trcncii themselves t'or protection against shells.

BATTLE 0F THE I-IISNE

STILL UNDECIDED

GERMAN DEFEAT BY RUSSIANS VERY DECISIVE.

LONDON, October 5. - The

defeat of l.lie German army which invaded Russia appears more decisive. According to the Russian ambassador at Rome, the Germans were completely defeated and routed. They suffered the loss of 70,000 men. ami have been forced to abandon everything. Russians are now mov-

invadiiig East Prussia. This victory, it as complete as reported, is ot' great im lortance to the Russians, as it will

any operations from land ami sea which would have compelled Russia to turn at least part of its attention in this direction. Geiiernl Renncnkampit' apparently discovered a wedgo be- tween two forces which were advanc- ing upon l)ruskeiiiki and Ossowetz ami brought about the battle of Augus- towo, which resulted in Russian vic- tory.

lt’ Germans have not already retired

from the left bank ol' the Niemeii River at Druskeniki, their defeat at Augustowo must compel them to do so. The moral effect of another in- vasion of East Prussia will also be of importance.

From Silesinn and Galician battle-

fields nothing has come through to- day, as probably the main armies have not coiiie together there.

A big battle cannot iniicli longer be

delayed, as both armies moving for- ward will nieet. in Russian Poland. lleforc the Russian advance in Galicia the peasants arc fleeing from the country, and it is reported 20,000 have rcuclied iiohemia.

The sanitary department of Vienna

reports that four cases of Asiatic cholera have occurred among the troops returning t`roni Galicia, but that all have been isolated.

Of Antwerp, the official report says

that the situation in fortified positions is unchanged. Fighting continues in the Near East and the Anglo-l"rench fleet destroyed Lustica, the outer defence of the Austrian seaport of ilattaro. While Servians ami Monte- ncgrins are attacking the outer forti- fications oi’ Sarayevo, Liclgrade. which has been so oi'teii under ilre, has not been bombarded for several days, probably as a result of the re- occupatlon ol' Semlin by Sorvians.

Slrirmishes occurred on Anglo-

German frontier in East Africa, due to German raids into British territory for tire' purpose of cutting the-Uganda railway. All these raids have, accord- ing to British official report, been repulsed. While usual life in Eng- land is not seriously upset by the war, the regulations in many respects are becoming more ` stringent. An in- stance is found in the action of the authorities who, in order to keep the army provided with warm clothing, conimandeered large quantities of woolleiis in Leicester. This is likely to be followed elsewhere.

EIGHT THOUSAND

GERMAN8 LOST.

LONDON, Oct. 5.-The Antwerp

correspondent of the Daily Telegraph telegraphlng regarding the fighting around Antwerp, under date of Sat- urduy, saysz-

"The Germans continue their des-

perate efforts to csdpture Antwerp. They are in ii desperate hurry to ac- complish it, pounding away uncens- ingly with their artillery at Forts Waelheni ami Wuvrc-St. (iatlieriiics ami flinging their infantry forward in frantic efforts to break through.

“Their losses have been enormous

and the iiumhcrs killed are cstiinated as high as 8,000 during the present movement,

“The Belgiuns adopted a clover rui-ic

at Waelhein. After the bonihardmcnt had lasted several hours the forts failed to reply whereupon the Gor- man staff, thinking the fort out. of commission, ordered the infantry to advance in close formation.

"The Belgian guiiners waited until

they could see the whites of their eyes and then opened a murderous fire.

“Thus far the forts in the outer

ring of the Antwerp defences have suffered little harm from the German bombardment.

“The German big guns are not bc-

iiig worked by regular soldiers but by men in citizens' clothing, who wc-ar only an armlet to indicate their niili- tary occupation. Undoubtedly the men are employees of the Krupp fac- tory hastiiy summoned to replace the losses among the regular gun` layers. The heaviest German guns are located north of Vilverde. where foundations of reiiiforeeil concrete have been pre- pared. - “The German shells have practical- ly wiped out most of little villages ami liamlets in the outer circles of the Antwerp defences.

“The Germans still hold Malines.

although at it heavy cost as the town is subject to constant bombardment from the Antwerp forts.”

WIIEN THE VEIL'Cl.EARS,

LONDON, Oct. 5.--A correspondent

to the Times at Bordeaux, comment- ing on, the battle in northern Franco, says:--"The time has not yet: como tn reveal the composition of the nl- lies left which is n_g;>_w‘____Si:ijiI{__i_iil.f forward to the Belgian frontier but when the veil hiding the movermnthlp the neighborhood of Amiens is drawn away it will be seen what potent. factor the French army service has been in battles of northern France."

The Ger- man deieat was complete. The eneniy is in disorderly retreat toward the east Prussian frontier.

ed German attacks, presumably in the vicinity of Roye. the French, ac- cording to an official communication issued at Paris, have resumed the of- fensive nt several points, while other positions on their left have been main- tained. The great effort of the Allies to envelope the Germnn's right may therefore be said to' be again in opera- tion and it is believed that the whole French column, from Roye northwest to Arras, is moving Eastward against the German positions. lt is the some operation that has been tried re- peatedly for the last three weeks in an attempt to reach the German lin- es of communication and either en- circle the German Army on the right wing or to force it to fall back to Bel- gium and Luxemburg.

The Germans have had a long time

in which to make their position se- cure so there is a lot of hard lighting ahead for both the attnckins and de- fending psrties. The defensive roll is now apparently being assumed by the invaders. '

ln the centre from the Oise to Ar-

gonne two well entrenched armies are still watching each other ready at a moment’s notice to meet attacks or move to some point where the line is threatened. The situation remains a- bout the same.

In the Argonne district, where the

Crown Prince’s Army attempted an advance a few days ago there has been additional fighting and the Ger- mans were pushed back`t_o the north-

but were forced back again.

in Lorraine ami Vosges there are

no changes. This is probably due to the fact that the Germans have not sufficient forces to attack while the l-‘rench are busy attempting an invasion of the lost Provinces. They are trying to get the Germnhs out of Northeastern France and if they can accomplish this they are faced with the necessity of attacking the German positions in

IAlsacc-Lorraine. Around the outer

line of fortification in Antwerp there is considerable mystery. Last night the Belgian legatlon at London an- nounced that the Belgians are com- pelled to fall back east ol' the river Lierra, Waelhem and Koningshoyck have been taken and the Germans en- tered the line of forts through breach- es. The Belgian Minister declares the forts have not been captured although Waelhem is badly damaged. These forts are only the first line of defence of the city besides two more powerful lines. Heretoforo the fortress did not stand long after the big German Siege Guns were brought up but Ant- werp is dlfferent. ln addition to being stronger there is o considerable space in which the Field Artillery can oper- ate against besieglng forces. The Germans have been active in separa- ted parts of Belgium. They visited Tournai Saturday and announced that they were an advance guard of 10,000

men proceeding to Lille, while last .night and this morning lighting is go-

Three Mon- archs, the Russian Emperor, the Ger- man Emperor nnd thc King of Bel- gium and the President of France are now taking part in the battles or are on the way to visit the troops in the field.

Avolim is the Gibraltar of the Adriatic and has long been coveted by both Italy and Turkey when Avolna belonged to Turkey. it was the scene of a daring exploit by the italian Navy under the Duke of the Ahruzzi.

OTTAWA, Oct. 5.- Colonel Sam

Ilughes, Minister of Militia, returned to Ottowa yesterday from Gaspe after directing the einbarkation and scit- ing sail oi’ the tiotilla which is now carrying the Canadian overseas con-

rumors that iloionci llughes might sail across with the troops but it is learned he had no intention of doing so. Probably, however, after taking up n number oi’ matters which remain to be looked after with respect to the (lunadian Expeditionary Force, the Minister will take a short lioli|la_\' which may assume the form of a trip to England to see Canadian soldiers in training.
