Extremely bad weather ou the Flan ders front is limiting tho activities of the belligerents. Notwithsnnding tho difficulties of turning the battle ground into"a mud field, however the allies have Imtttttaiued theinsolvcs in the territory they gained in today's great drive. In only one point has thoir hold slipped at all and that was in a low sector of tho British front near Poelcappelle, where it announced yesterday their advanced posts were drawn in a little. While the work of consolidation and preparation for tho renowal of tho of fensive is going on German counter at tacks is being held off-by the entente guns. Last night the French had one of these attacks to.doal with in the re gion of Driaoibank. The attack was broken Up by the French fire. ' Homo attention is being attracted by the persistence of tho German efforts to regain ground on the Fernch front in tho Verdun region. In this connection it 'is noted that recently one of tho German military critics, in alluding to the situation in Flanders, spoke of the poril to which the Germans might bo subjected in the Verdun front if the German lines in the Belgian area should givo away. The Trench arc vry near German territory northeast of Verdun, and a. forced woakening of, the German lines there might have effect on tho whole military situation well placed art the French now are for tlie initiation of a drive from the outlying Verdun posi tions. The German effort to push back tho French here or possibly to regain tho lost initiative may possibly bo trac ed in the anxiety of this respect ou the part of the German high command. Small success, however, is attending tho Crown Prince's efforts in this di rection. He tried again last night near Hill 344 but General Petain's forces held their ground, driving tho Germans out of such advanced trenches as they managed temporarily to penetrate. LIVELY FIGHTING IN THE SAXON IKJ London, Oct. 11. "Allied troops made a strong' attack south of Dorian, south of Baloniki, according to tho Bulgarian . official statement issued Wednesday.

Tho entente losses are re ported to have been heavy, while the Bulgarians suffered slightly. Allied troops who gained a temporary footing in one of tho Bulgarian advanced trenches, the statement continues, wore either killed or captured. . Tho reported allied attacks south of Dorian were probably not "enforced," there has been no British statement on tho fighting. FRENCH TERRITORY TO tTT V T A T t Amsterdam, Oct. II.
