AISNE BATTLE UNTETTLED
Allies Have Forced Battle Lin To Bal

Delirium la once more Hie arene or
(he fighting of the allied armies or
France and bngland against the Ger
mans. During the past week the al
lies have succeeded In pushing the
German armies back to the Belgian
border. Antwerp, the temporary capi
tal or Belgium, and one or the strong
est rortlfled cltlea In the world Is be
ing besieged by the Germans. The
world awaits the outcome.
The battle of the Alne. which .was
In progreaa north or the Alsne rlTer
In France for more than a month, will
go down in history as one ot the great
est battles the world has ever known.
The area over which the fighting oc
curred occupied almobt the entire
portion or France and at times the
main battle lines extended over ISO
miles In length. The casualties on
both sides were astounding.
For days the great armies or the al-
Ilea and the Germans swayed back and
forth. At some points the allies would
gain the advantage, while at others
the Germans were victorious, but dur
ing these days neither side were able
to gain an appreciable advantage. Fol
lowing desperate lighting on both
sides for several weeks the battle
settled down to a alege. It was even
predicted by military experts of the
contending nations that winter would
And the contending armies still light
ing on the northern border of France.
The predictions that have been made
by writers that areoplanes would play
a prominent part In the future wars
has In part become true. Although
they have failed ao far to live up to
the expectation ot the writers when It
came to destroying whole fleets of
ships and entire cities, but they have
proven themselves Indispensable in
aiding the armies In battle.
It has been the aeroplanes that have
soared over the battle lines that lo
cated the strength of the enemy and
nude It possible for the commanders
to keep In touch with what was going
on along a hundred mile battle line.
Raid over Paris were made by Ger
man aeroplanes during the past week
and the British aircraft succeeded In
making another successful excursion
Into Germany. The damage done In
both flights were alight.
The war In Europe baa, been In
progress for more than two months
and so far there baa been no decisive
battle fought either on land or on
sea. . It now appears that the war
will last through the winter with al
ternate victories for the combatants.
The battle of the Alsne between the
allies and the German In the north
of France has developed Into a siege
and may last for week longer. The
greatest activity ia now being found
In East Prussia and Poland where
the great armies of Russia are pre
paring for an invasion Into Germany.
Carman Defeated In Prusala
The tierce struggle which ha been
going on between the Russian and Ger
man troop along the NIemen river.
In Bast Prussia for nine days, ended
with a complete victory for the Rus
sians, according to dispatch fron
Petrograd, the Russian capital. The
fact that Caar Nichols ha left the
capital to Join his armies In Prussia
and that Kaiser William of Germany
t already on the ground testifies to
the Importance of this campaign,
European Ruler With Armies
An Important development In the
war In Europe 1 the report that four
of the ruler of the countries at war
are at the front When the condi

hastened to East Prussia. King Al

According to a German report re

with Antwerp Is Interrupted. It was
reported also that the king of tbe Bel

Antwerp Forte Are Destroyed
The severing of communication had
been expected, for the Germans had
been directing their attache at points
of Ingress to and egresa from the city
and at the same time dropping shells
Into the town Itself. A portion of the
town Is reported to have been de

The French communication deala
only with the series of battles which
has been ln progress for four weeks
from tbe east to west ln France with
an ever-extending line which now
reaches northward from the elbow at
Noyon to ant across the Belgian bor
der at Armentleres. .
The statement says the alllea have
held their positions everywhere and
that German cavalry, which waa at
tempting to envelop the, allies' left
wing, and had aeised points of passage
on the Lys, eaat of Aire, was defeated
yesterday and retired northeast Into
the Armentleres district.
'At the tame time the German de
livered a vigorous attack on the right
bank of the Ancre River between Ar
ras and the Olse, without making any
progress.-
This indicate that the battle in
PIcardy, comprising the department
of 8omme' and part of Olse, Pa de
Calal and Alsne in which the cavalry
1 participating on a scale not seen In
previous modern wars, extend over a
considerable area. Here are many
miles of open country, where horse
men can maneuver with advantage.
Between the Olse and Rhelms, par
ticularly in the region northwest of
Soissons where the British forces are
entrenched, further progreu has been
made. It thus seems probable that
the Germans have abandoned some
of their strongly entrenched positions
ln this neighborhood. It Is reported
that sanitary reasons have compelled
this. The trenches In which the troops
have been living for weeks have be
come breeding places for disease.
The German bave resumed their
night attack between Craonne and
Rhelms, which, according to French
account, have been repulsed. From
Rhelms to th Meuse nothing of Im
portance has occurred of late, but ln
the Apremont district of the Woevre
to the east of St Mlhiel, the German
made violent attacks during th night
of October 9 and the following day,
Apremont waa taken by the Ger
mans, but wa retaken by the French
and remains In their hands. The
Germans apparently are determined
to maintain as far as possible their
positions here, where they have
pierced the line of fortification be
tween Verdun and Toul along the Riv
er Meuse. Should they be successful
against th allies elsewhere this
doubtless would be the route by which
they would endeavor to enter tbe
heart of Frasc.
Two German aeroplanes, which
seem to choose Sunday for their
visits, flew over Paris. They dropped
a score of bombs, which killed three
persons and wounded 20, but did no
material damage. .;v; , v,-'.v
Part of .the Antwerp garrison and
two thousand of tbe British naval vol
unteers, who crossed ; Into Holland
and laid down their arms, have been
interned and will have to remain there
until theend of the war. 'Some of the
German also unwillingly crossed the
frontier, and were treated similarly.
Of refugees there appears to be no
end. The Dutch town are crowded
with people who left their homes ln
Belgium. ,1
Hollander are finding difficulty ln
providing for them. The Germans,
however, have invited the refugees
to return to their own country, prom
ising them fair treatment
England also continue to be a
place of refuge for many fugitive,
wounded officers and men, who are
crossing frqm Ostend on the regular

I bad to feel my way, and I made my
