,There is little new in the war situa-
tion. Despatches indicate that at some
points in northern France the Allies
are making decided gains, while in
Alsace they have decidedly the better
of the Germans.
lt appears to be taken.for granted
that Ostend is In serious danger of

who are now only 15 miles distant.

This battle is now raging, hui; so far
the Allies have everywhere checked

ln the east the Russians claim
several victories, in one battle taking
1,000 prisoners and many guns.

ln the region of Lens, between Arras

there has been no change. The Ger-
mans have cannonaded our line with-
out, however, delivering any infantry
attacks.
Second-on the centre between the
Oise and Meuse we have advanced in

direction of Bein, several German

having repulsed during the night of
October 13-14 certain attacks south-
east of Verdun, our troops advanced
on the 14th to the south highway from
Verdun to Metz.
Third--on our right wing a partial
offensive movement undertaken by
Germans at Banne Sapt, north of
Saintdie has been checked.
BORDEAUX, Cct. 15.-Higli officials
of the French Government declared
flint the latest despatches from the
front showed the military situation
was about to develop more rapidly in
the centre, in the region of Barry-au
Bac and on the left in La Bassee,

The Allies continue to mako pro-

hotly contested positions which had
changed hands repeatedly during the
past few weeks, are iio\v held
strongly by the French and Anglo-
French. The situation is most cn-

LONDON. Oct. 15.-Two great
battles. one in northern France and
Belgium, and the other in Russian
Poland. both with a front of three
hundred miles, have reached their
height. But of their progress the
public is allowed only an occasions
ghmce UIFOUEII official commnnica
tions, which frequently are widely a
variance. From the French report,
the western battle is going slowly bu
surely in favour of the Allies. Under
pressure of the troops of the Allie
the Germans, who started to advance
on Lalais and other French coast
ports. have been forced to evacuate
the left bunk of the Lys River. Last
week fnrtlier east. in the Lens dis-
trict. southward between Arras and
Albert. where the Germans made an
l1ll€mI>t to Work round the Allies’
left, English and French have made
notable progress. Evidence that Ger.
ni_iin assaults are being delivered
\vitli less force is conveyed in the fact
that between the Somme and Oise
ed with inf`antry charges. it is pos-
sible they have withdrawn some troops
from this position to strengthen the
advance toward ilie coast, but this is
considered risky, as it might permit
the Allies to break through and inter-
rupt communications with their armies
lighting north of Aisne. In the centre
the Allies have advanced. This shows
n determined and partially successful
attempt to drive the Germans away
_from Rlieims, which is again under
bonibardnieiit to-day. The famous
cathedral is again the target of Ger-
man artillery. The Germans are
accusing the French of having used
the towers for military purposes. The
French advance in this vicinity also
indicates an attempt to break the Ger-
man front and force a wedge between
the German right and left wings.
French also claim an advance between
_the Meuse and Moselle. and after hav-
ing repulsed the German attacks to
have reached south of road from
Verduii to Metz. On the whole
the British military critics
consider the communication a
a most cheerful one. They believe
the German advance to the French
coast definitely checked and that the
advances reported here show that the
Germans were compelled to weaken
their centre ami left in order to
strengthen their right. Again, how-
ever, although the Germans failed to
break the allied line and have them-
selves been compelled to give ground,
they are now in a beter position, hav-
ing a front which stretches from the
Swiss frontier to Antwerp and the
Dutch territory, so that there are no
flanks which the Allies can turn. The
Allies can attempt to break it. This
is believed to be what they are try-
ing to do on the Belgian frontier.
Of the fighting in Northern Belgium
tho French communication simply
says German troops coming from Ant-
werp are marching toward the west.
()ii October 15th they reached Bruges
district. The opposition offered to
this advance was not serious and ap-
parently only iiiteiidcrl to delay thein.
The Germans occupy Bruges probably
at the present tiinc, near Ostend. Tho
main German force, however, is lic-
lieved io have proceeded soufliwuril
to assist the attempt of the Germans
to establish themselves on the Frencli
coast.
With the forces ol’ the Allies occu-
pying Ypres and doubtless other
troops between that city and Niuw-
port they probably will be compelled
f.o fight tho next serious battle at one
of the railway roads running east-
ward froin the coast. Again they may

that ordinary train traffic has been

FOLKESTONEI. Oct. 15.-The Kenil-
worth, one of the last four steamsliips
to leave Ostend, arrived early to-day,
bringing 2,000 refugees. Among them
were some Belgian soldiers, and as
they were not wounded the inference
was that the Belgiuns considered the
taking of Ostend by the Germans in-
evitable, and so caused the removal
of everyone who otherwise would be
likely to be taken prisoners.
The captain of the Kenilworth said
she left Ostend at 8 o'clock last night.
No Germans were then in evidence.
A small steamer reaching here to-day
from Ostend by way of Calais reported
that residents of Calais were in almost
as much of panic as the people of
Ostend, apparently believing the Ger-
mans would soon be upon them.

the despatching of a naval division to
Antwerp has been met by a vigorous
defense from one of Mr. Churcliill's
political foes. The Pall Mall Gazette,

the responsibility on one minister, de-
claring that the Government as a
whole decided on the matter. Eng-
land was further justified in sending a

I could not see Antwerp fall without an
