GERMANS OCCUPY OSTEND WITHOUTRESISTANCE; BELGIANS IN FRANCE

Kaiser s Forces iin Touch With Their Main

Army, WhoseRests on VouAdvices SayObjective Pointmans Apparently IsFrench WarRelative QuietGreater Part othe Troops of t

pying FlourbaixBy Associated Press.

Amsterdam, via London, Oct. 17, 4.35 A. M.?The"Telegraaf's" correspondent at Sluis, Netherland, tenmiles northeast of Bruges, reports that the Germans haveoccupied Ostend without resistance. The Belgian troopsretired to France. The German forces in Belgium are nowin touch with their main army, whose right wing rests onVeurne, the westernmost town in Belgium, near the NorthSea and 26 miles west, southwest of Bruges.

London, Oct. 17, 10.30 A. M.?German forces, as waspredicted, nave occupied Ostend, near the sea, where theGerman right wing and the allies' left are struggling inthe latest phase of what was once the battle of the Aisne.

Reports reaching London say that German imagina-tion has been fired by the taking of Ostend and the cry nowis not, only "on to Calais" but "on to Boulogne."

What progress, if any, the Germans have made sincethey entered Ostend Thursday morning is not known herebut their next objective apparently is Dunkirk. Opinionin England seems to differ as to what part the British fleetwould play should the battle continue to skirt the coastline and the reports that British dreadnaughts would backup the French, British and Belgian forces from the Straitsof Dover seem to originate in German sources.

London papers generally deprecate the importance ofthe German occupation of the Belgian coast, pointing cutthat the British mine field prevents the enemy's bringingships to operate from the none too spacious harbor ofOstend. The fact remains, however, that as the fightinggets geographically nearer to England the public, hereto-fore discussing and speculating on a Zeppelin raid, isbound to ask itself what will come next.

It is unquestionably true that if Germany is able toengineer submarine attacks from a base further away,Ostend, if held by the invaders, certainly would be of somestrategic value.

SITUATION IN NORTH FRANCEParis, Oct. 17, 2.50 P. M.?The official statement given

out at the French War Office this afternoon is as follows:"In Belgium the German troops occupying western

Belgium have not crossed the line running from Ostend toThourout to Roulers to Menin. There is relative quietalong the greater part of the front.

"On our left wing there has been no change. In theregion of Ypres, on the right bank of the Lys, the alliedtroops have occupied Flourbaix, as well as the immediateapproaches to Armentieres.

"In the region of Arrays and also in the vicinity ofSt. Mihiel we have continued to gain ground.

"In the Russian field of operations there has been nochange of importance on the front in East Prussia.

"Along the middle reaches of the Vistula river, theAustro-German armies have been driven to the defensivealong the entire front. To the south of Przemysl the fight-ing continues and the Russians have taken 500 prisoners."

The Gorman army that successfully besieged Antwerphas swept victoriously westward along the Belgian coastuntil now with its right resting on Ostend it form the ex-treme right of the German line stretching from the NorthSea to the Swiss frontier.

A great battle to determine whether the advancingGerman hosts will be stopped in Western Belgium or pushon into France, seizing Dunkirk and Calais on the strait ofDover, must come soon and quite possibly is being foughtto-day.

The French official statement this afternoon says thatthe German troops occupying western Belgium have notcrossed the line running from Ostend south to Menin. Theallied troops have occupied Flourbaix and the immediateapproaches to Armentieres, it is announced, while furthergains are claimed in the region of Arras and the vicinitvof St. Mihiel.

Berlin announced that a gigantic battle is preparing inthe eastern theatre where the Austro-German forces havetaken positions along the Vistula and San rivers.

\ ienna states officially that fighting continued Thurs-day along the entire battle front from the southeast of

'Przemysl to the mouth of the San.

ALLIES' LEFT IS HOLDINGIIS CROUND AND MOVING

FORWARD, SAYS LONDONLondon, Oct. 17, 10.30 A. M.?The

allied left is holding its ground. At

some points it is even moving forward,

having occupied Laventie, driving the

Germans back in the direction of Lille.One report had it that the Germanshad been driven out of Lille, but thishas not been confirmed. The. presenceof Uhlans has been reported recentlywithin 40 mi'les of Calais, but a glanceat the map in the region of the cavalryclashes of the last few days, which fora time extended as far west aB Haze-ibrouck, show 3 that, notwithstandingthe German claims of victories, the al-

lies have made steady progress, La-ventie being east of the town men-

tioned.'Little definite news came during the

morniug of lighting along the Vistulariver, where the Russians claim to haverepulsed a German attack. Whetherthe German advance on Warsaw hasbeen permanently checked only the fu-ture can show. One version has it thatthe Germans are preparing to winter inPoland.

According to a dispatch from Petro-grad, dated Friday but received hereto-day, the Russians now have openedtheir attack along the entire line, withspecial energy in the south, whereGeneral Brussiloff's cavalry is saiil tohave captured several Austrian detach-ments, together with trains carryingreinforcements and supplies. In re-treating from Warsaw, it is said, theGermans lost 42 guns intended for thesiege of that city.
