OF PREUIMINAf4 ICIfARACTER

London, Oct. 17.-Each dad bringsthe war nearer home to England. To-day there was a naval battle off theDutch coast, in which a British crul-ier and four destroyers sank fourGerman, destroyers, while on land theGerman troops reached the coast ofBelgium, less than 25 miles fromDover.

They are about to attempt a marchsouthward to Dunkirk and Calais,which are even closer to the Englishcoaut.

Fighting in Flanders.It is here in west Flanders and

across the French frontier in Pas deCalaiis that the heaviest and most im-portant fighting is now going on.

- Acccording to the French officialcommunication, issued this afternoon Ithe Germans have not advanced beyondthe lins running from Ostend to Thor-out, Rouleos and Menin. The lastmentioned place is just on the border,north of Lille, which the Germans oc-cupied some days ago, but which ac-cording to an unconfirmed report theyhad been compelled to abandon.

The allies' lines in this. region runsfrom a point on the coast which hasnot been disclosed.

Battle About Arras.For the moment Arras is the scene

of the most persistent fighting. TheGermans are trying to break throughto the Calais railway while the J'renchare attempting to push the Germanfront to the northeast.

In this fighting the French appearto have met with some success as theyannounce they have entered Fleurbaix,Sand iso iaypta*e4..tho immediate

The fighting has only commenced inthis district, however, for the Germans,who would consider it a great success,

ARMY OF GERMAN INVADERS

London, Oct. 17.-Repoits of fight-ing in East Prussia, Poland, Celiciaand Hungary are so widely at vari-ance that it is difficult to judge of theprogress of the battles. Austria claimsto be driving the Rtissians out ofHungary, while the Russian generalssay they are leaving the country toescape the danger of infection fromcholera.

Berlin says the tiulicians forces ofPrzemysl have been relieved, while theRussian report, reported throughRome, says the fortress at last hasfallen. At Berlin both sides insist thatthey have gained the advantage in ad-vanci guard actions.

Where They Agree.ine thing which the two sides

agree on is that inactivity prevails inSuwalki.

In Poland, where an important liit-lie has begun, the Germans are mnak-ing for the crossings of the Vistula,behind which the Russians are wait-ing for them. The Russian advanceguard thrown out in front of the riveris falling back before the Gerinanadvance and it doubtless is this fight-

ARE Ati TAKING10GCHMANS

London, Oct. 17.-Mines and thestopping of neutral steamers are caus-hig much annoyance to neutral coun-tries. Following the example of Ger-many and England, Russia is nowsowing mines in the Baltic, while theGermans are said to have placed thesedangerous fhachines in the Scheldt,which is Dutch water. The Adriatic,also has been mined and the Italianfishing industry virtually brought to,ac} end.

Tbhe Scandinqvign countries , andHolland are the chief sufferers fromthe seatching of neutrality ships,

It - reasej the coast of France, havebrought up strong reinforcements andwill strive with all their might toachieve this obj t.

German Report.Their official report issued this aft-

ernoon says no events of importancehave happened; but as they await im-portant victories before making anyannouncement, this does not meanthere has been no fighting.

The allies also can bring up rein-forcements, both by sea and land, andhave been doing so, which makes itcertain that a great battle must hefought before either side gives ground.The allies will be assisted by the Brit-ish ships when the fighting reaches apoint near the coast.

Along rte cen ter which now stretchesfrom Aisne to the Meuse, there ap-pears to have been a lull in the fight-ing, which means, of course that al-though the artillery has been busy asever, neither side has attempted anyattacks.

South of Verdun.Around St. Mihiei, south of Verdun,

vhere the Germans are hanging on to

the little strip of river Meuse, whichthey succeeded in crossing and froniwhich the French have ben trying fora week to drive them, the battle hasbeen almost continuous anti the Frenchciahm to have gained ground.

Away down in Alsace, which is sel-dom mentioned in the official reports,there has been fighting, which, how-ever, both French and German state-ments ignore. Twice during the week

reports have come from Basel that theGermans have been defem ted there andnow an unofficial account from Berlinsays that the fortress of Belfort hasbeen attacked with mortars.

Both Berlin and Paris express thegreatest confidence in the outcome ofthe battle in the east and west.

ing which was referred to in the offi-

cial reports from Berlin and Petro-

grad.

Germans on Offensive.

in( account says that the Germanshave taken the offensive with success,but the Russians declare that the

Austrians and (Germans have been re-duced to the defensive. It is quitelikely that the state of the roads pre-vent etther side from making any ad-vance and that they will have to waituntil the ground has been hardenedby frosts before -striking their realblows.

From the allies' standpoint, the de-lay in the castern theater of war is ofImportance, for it prevents the Ger-mans from sending reinforcements totte west.

The inhabitants of Pianml appa-rently are giving the Germans sometrouble and are reported to have or-ganized marauding parties, which,while they cannot do much damage toan army, can interfere with its com-munication by destroying roads andbridges.

tURKISF .ARSHIPSARE BACK AGAININ MARMORA

London, Oct. 17.-Danger from theTurkish fleet has passed for the timebeing, these warships having returnedfrom the Black sea to the Sea of Mar-

Snora. It is considered doubtful wheth-er they will go out again unless Tur-key definitely throws in her lot withGermany.

Turkey is keeping her army mo-%,ltized at great cost gad to the detri-menaet of trade and commerce, whichara practically at a standstill. Al-though the crops are good, famine isfeared in the Arniepian provinces,
