London, Oct. -2 l.r Fierce attacks
and counter-attacks delivered' almost
continuously for a week or more' by
' the AU(es and the Germans have re
; suited In no definite decision in the
7 battle raging in: West Flanders and
Northern France. - The contest lo the
Eastern war area,' in "East ;, Prussia,
Poland and Gallcia has been equally
.-. undecisive. -'''--v"
. 1 aim ib cieariy eviaent rrom r re
ports Issued officially at ' various
headquarters, which content them
elves today with recounting the fact
that violent attacks hare been made,
- The French, however, claim the Al
lies have repulsed German offensive
movements at -various points in the
west. According- to the- French an
nouncements, the Germans also at
tacked the Allies lines at Nleuport,
.uixmua and Labasse. The Ger
;man General Staff declares fighting
continues on the Yser Canal and that
the Germans, taking the offensive
west of Lille, have - repulsed the
t irrenea at several points. ., -
These reports seem to controvert
accounts appearing in English news-
- papers from - correspondents , wno
claimed they were in West Flanders
and who stated that the Germans
bad been driven back. V : v
The Germans, however, are v be
- .lleved here to be fighting under a
great , disadvantage especially along;
. iu cuasi a uio orttua snips assist
' lng the Allies' land forces hate long
; range guns capable of seriously men
acing German troops and men in the
- trenches as well as the ammunition
; trains and supply convoys,
- While no official, Information . Is
- available as to the ships being used,
it Is probable that they are the three
monitors which. were being complete
'. ed in England for - the Brazilian
Government whei the war broke out
( and which were bought by the ad-
.' mlralty. . These monitors draw lera
' than nine feet of water and could
take up positions not far from snore
. from -which -their six-inch guns and
4 .7 inch Howltsers - could . throw
hells nearly four miles across coun
try, the -range being given them by
airmen.
The vessels assisting the '. Allies
have not been allowed to carry out
. their operations In peace for Ger
man submarines have followed them
. down the ' coast and attacked them
- while they were shelling German
'positions. These attacks, however,
were made futile by the presence or
British - destroyers. ; One account
' says the submarines suffered losses
but this statement has not been con
. firmed.- It has been remarked that
the ' submarines and ' aeroplanes,
which in time of peace have proved'
' themselves as dangerous arms of the
army and navy service have suffered
little loss and have been doing splen
did work. - i :
Land battles are , being contested
with a fury and. tenacity that would
- Indicate that strategic importance is
attached to the positions held by the
opposing armies.' When a town Is
reached street fighting generally de-
- velops. One side galas an advantage
only to lose it when the other side
brings up reinforcements. .. ; ,
The Germans are striking hard at
the French line in the vicinity of
Labasse and bare made counter-attacks
against the force which for
many days has been endeavoring to
relieve Xille. '
Along the rest or the line from
West to East the French communi
cation says -there - Is , no ; notable
change. ' ,:- -r .; . ' '
