Germans Brought Up Reinforcements to Protect Their Hank FRENCH ADMIT SLIGHTLY FROM . Germans Are Maintaining lheir Mrengtn in France Except for Forces Absolutely v j Needed Elsewhere. LONDON, Oct. 3. (8 p. m.) Roye, the little town ; on the main road to Noyon, the heights around which have been alternately occupied by the French and Germans for the past week, is still the center of a battle of great violence. ' ' , The Germans, who are fighting stubbornly to protect their flank at this point have brought up reinforcements, but according to the French official communication today, - all their attacks have been repulsed. . The action, however, is still proceeding, and upon it depends the result of the campaign, for the Germans are beaten, their line of communication at Tergnier will be seriously threatened.

They have evacuated "West Flanders and their attack on Antwerp is believed by many to be designed to keep the Belgians busy and prevent them from operating on what would be General, von Kluek's left, should he fall bac. through Belgium. But the battle is not yet over and it may be many days before either side attains-its objective. Except for the forces absolutely needed - elsewhere, the Germans are maintaining their strength in France and besides fighting off the French on their right, are themselves remaining firm there. v Crown Prince Defeated. The army of the crown prince, which has been in the thick of the fighting since the Germans began their in vasion of France has made an attempt to slip through the woods of La Curie, but, the French say, was thrown back to the north of Varonnes-Las-Harazee-Vicnne-Le-Ville road. This road pierces the forest so that the French must have made a considerable advance in this region and straightened out the line from the north of Verun to the north of Rheims. ",' This loss by the crown prince's army is doubtless re- 7rV ferred to in the German statements of Friday. ' In the Woevre district and on the heights ofMeuse, the French claim their progress, though slow, con tinues. There apparently has been hard fighting further south, for the German report speaks of vigorous tallies from Toul. having been re pi.sed. Along the center compara tive calm still reigns. The Germans have been keeping up a heavy Bre on the British and French In front of them but the allies say little damage has been done. The real fighting has been carried on on- the wings. , The Oerman attack on Antwerp, ssitah does not appear serious thus far, apparently has not had any ef . on the Belgian forts of Llerre Waelbm' and Wavre-St. Catherines. Forts Are Intact. The Belgian say the forts are In tart and that the Germans have been driven off with heavy losses to their side.

IS GERMAN OWNED. PEKING, China, Oct. 4 (l:t m.) Japan's reply to China regarding the occupation of China's territory was delivered today. Japan says first that it Is planning the complete destruction of the Ger man base at Tsing-Tau, and so is jus tified in taking possession of the rail. way that constitutes an Inseparable portion of the German leased tarrt tory in China. The Japanese argument says the railway Is German-owned In the first place, and controlled by the German government, based on an imperial charter and has the character of public property. In the second place the railway cannot be regarded as neutral prop erty and Japan's selxure of It does not constitute a violation of China's neutrality. Tho Chinese proclamation dOning the ' limitations of the war sons does not alter the status of the railway.
