FROM THE BA'i"l‘LE i<`ilON'i‘, via
Paris, Oct. 21.-The Gerinan invaders in their effort to shorten their lilies soiith-westward upon the Englisli Channel, are meeting with a vigorous offensive by the Allies. A good part of the fighting is being done in the ob- scurity of fogs. _ _
l<‘re,nch marines yesterday put fort
n line effort against the Geriuans. 'l‘li troops oi’ Eniperor Willirini had tried a surprise attack on the nioriircs Sun- day, brit they had lit-ld the Ileid works against siipcriur ixiiinbers. 'I`lie iigiit lasted all day and tht-ii the Gerinaiis contdiited tlrenrsclves with cannon- ading the position of the marines.
A thick fog covered the entire re-
gion Monday, and the marines, accus- tomed to such wentlior eoiiditloiis. crept toward the German trenches. “No shooting." was the order; "rise the bayoiiet."
The marines got within thirty fct-t
of the trciiclicf; before tlicy were sci-ii. it was too late i'or thc defenders, who were bayonctcd in the treiir-lies and beyond the treiiclics as they ran.
Foiir hundred German prlsoriers
were taken.
One of the places where the ifreiieli
had been most harassed is near the elbow of the western line. Tire ini- portaiit position there had been ixtki-ii and re-taken i'rcqrieiitly during tho last three weeks. Every time the Ger-
h
(3.
-niuns had been obliged to abandon the
position they returned in greater' fort-e and pushed back the French by weight of numbers.
The French took the position for the twelfth time and held it for tcn hours. " Then crinio u. shock oi' t.lie liuinaii bat- tering ram and the French gradually gave way.
'l`lie Germans began fortifying the
place, brit while they were cngagr-ii in t.liis task, the earth licavcd and a deafening explosion occurred.
The ten hours the Freiicli had held
the point had been suillciciit to mine every rod of ground. it is cstiniated that tlirec German battulioiis were aiiniiiilatcd.
'l‘lic strength of the Gerinnn posi-
tions north of thc Itoyc, wliicli faci- litated their movements toward Lille, is cxplaiiied by the fact that they were oc\:iip_viiig air uiitinislicd canal extenti- ing as l`ai' as iioisei. 'i'lie (lei'iiiniis found in the, deep, broad cutting canal lnagniiiceiit ciiireiiclimeiits, in which they had only to install batteries ui' artillery.
t)illcei‘s of the Allies say that they
have iioti-il that oiii_v`aboiit forty per cciit, of the shells from tliese guns ex- ploded. 'l`hoy any also that the pro- digulity ot' the tire from them appar- ently has depleted thc tlcriiiaii airi- iiiiriiiiion, as the intensity of the iirc lati»l_v has dliiiiiiishctl.
'l`he ii‘ri\nclr urtilierisls :irc so care-
ful in getting their ranges that they waste few shells. in :rn artillery duel near Arnreiiticrcs the Germans fired for halt' ri day in'to thickets that had been ahaiidoiied some time before. When the I~‘rciicli tlircc-iiich guns fili- aily got thc range twt-,lvc shells fi'oiii ilirni siiciiced the Gerinaii battery.

LONDON, Oct. 21.-Although the Allies and Germans have been deliver- . ing attacks and counter-attacks and fierce fighting has been continuous for a week or more, no decision has been reached in either of the battles iii West Flanders, Northern l<"raiicc or in the East in Prussia. l'oland and Galicia. This is evident from reports t'roin the various lieadtiuarters which to-day contented tlieinsclvcs with re.- counting the fact that violent attacks had been made. V
'l‘he French claim that the Allies re~
pulsed the Germans at various places. According to the Freiicli, the Germans made attacks against the Allied line at Nieuport, Dixmund and Lahassee. Tire Germans are believed to be iight- ing hgainst disadvantages, especially along the coast as the British ships have been assisting the Allies. The force have long range guns capable of
making things uncomfortable for ani- iniiiiitioii trains and supply c0nv0YB and in the immediate rear of the troops also, for men in trciiclii-si and for the German guniiers.
No oilicial information is available
as t.o tho ships used for this purpose. it is probable they are three monitors which were being completed in Eng- land i'or the Brazilian Government when the war broke out and were bought by the Admiralty. Those mon- itors which have been rc-namcd, the Mersey, the Humber and the Severn. draw less than nine feet of water and could take up positions close to the shore from which their six-inch guns and 4.7-inch iiowitzers. of which each carries two, are able to throw shells nearly four miles across the country thc range being given them by airmen. The vessels assisting the Allies are not, allowed to carry out
