Paris, Oct. 20.?The French official communicationgiven out this afternoon says that the Belgian army is hold-ing its position on the river Yser. The official communi-cation follows:

"In Belgium, in spite of violent attacks on the partof the enemy the Belgian army has held its position onthe )ine of the river Yser.

"There have been other actions in the region of Ypresbetween the allied forces operating in this territory andthe forces of the enemy.

"On our left wing the Germans continue to holdstrongly their advance posts around Lille in the directionof Armentieres, Fournes and La Bassee.

"On the Meuse the enemy has endeavored in vain todrive back the advance posts of our troops, who havemoved out along the right back of this stream in thepeninsula of the Camp des Romains.

"To sum up during the day of October 19, we havemade progress at various points on the front.

"In East Prussia and on the Vistula river there is nochange in the situation. The efforts of the Austrians tocross the river San have been repulsed. The battle southof Frzemysl continuing under conditions favorable to theRussians."

RUSSIAN TURKISH NAVAL BATTLELondon, Oct. 20, 10.10 A. M.?A dispatch from Copen-

hagen to the "Central News" says:"The Berliner Tageblatt' publishes a telegram from

Bucharest saying that evidently a big Russian-Turkishnaval battle has taken place in the Black Sea. Exceed-ingly heavy firing lasting a considerable time is reported."

That the allies are frustrating the attempt of the re-inforced extreme right wing of the German army to skirtthe English Channel ports with the supposed object offinding a new route to Paris, is indicated by the Frenchofficial statement given out this afternoon which assertsthat the Belgian army is maintaining its position on theriver Yres.

Further actions, the statement adds, are heing foughtbetween the allies and the Germans in the region Yres.Belgium, brom \ res the allied left wing extends to the ILnglish < ha unci where it is being supported bv British!naval forces.

Along the remainder of the 360-mile battle frontstretching from the North Sea to Switzerland, where the? blenders and the invaders have been deeply entrenched!for >i days, the only activity noted is that in the.region!of the Meuse river where heavy fighting goes on inces-santly principally in the vicinity of Camp Des Romaine.

French batteries at St. Mihiel, south of Verdun, are 1reported to have destroyed an entire battery of Germanartillery which had been particularly active in sweepingthe French positions. .

There is a dearth of news from German sources con-!cerning the operations <>f Emperor William's forces either,in France or in Russia.

A huge conflict is in progress along the Vistida river,in Russian Poland. Dispatches from Petrograd declare ithat after fierce fighting to the west of Warsaw the Ger- 1mans have been driven back towards their main positions'on a line from Skiernewice. near Lodz, to Sandomir, onthe Galician border.

Russian official report says that the large forces ofAustrians that crossed the river San have been repulsed.
