R LEFT WING EXTERDING Allies Say Germans Fall Back. LOGATION NOT STATED Opposing Forces of Gavalry En- gaged as Far as Seacoast, I;ondon, Oct. 9.—The French official |. communication asserts that on the allies’ left wing, in the region of the department of Nord, the Germans have made progress at no point and that to the north of Arras and vicinity the German troops have moved back, the conditions of the battling being favor- able to the allies. The communica- tlon says the opposing forces of cavalry on the western wing are de- veloping as far as the seacoast on the north, though no ports are mentioned. Between the Somme and the Oise rivers, in the vicinity of Roye, the French statement says, the Germans still are in force, but the allies “have retaken the major part of the posi- tions they were obliged to give up.” The. statement says that to the north of the River Aisne the numerical strength of . the Germans seems to have diminished, while on the allies’ center, between Rheims and the River Meuse, there is nothing to report. On the heights of the Meuse, between Verdun and St, Mihiel, the Germans have drawn back to the north of Hat- tonchatel. The Germans still hold ‘St. Mihiel and some positions north of that place on the right bark of the Meuse. In the Woevre district, says the ‘French statement, the violent attacks delivered by the Germans to the west of Apremont have failed. In the Lor- raine-vosges line no change in the situation is reported. Fierce Fighting Around Lille. A dispatch to the Exchange Tele- graph company from Ostend says: “Fierce fighting has taken place for itwo days around Lille, where the French troops came into contact with the enemy, who sustained heavy losses. “In the fierce fighting the Germans lost more than 2,000 men and have not succeeded in occupying the town of Lille.” In Northeastern France, on the al- lies’ left wing, the main positions of the contending forces now reach with- in ten or fiftcen miles of the Belgian border, while beyond these points masses of cavalry continue to strug- gle over the frontier line and into Belgium. If the British have landed an expeditionary force in Belgium for the relief of Antwerp it must have had to fight its way to the be- sieged city, for Antwerp advices say the foreign representatlves at Ant- werp are trying to reach Ostend throush Flanders and by way of Hol- land, iudicating the German troops eontrol the direct lines from Antwerp to Ostend. The German officiai statement is brief, chronicling the fact that en- zagements on the German right wing in France have not led to any de- cision, and adding that attacks on the French in the Argonnes and from the east of Verdun have been repulsed. New German forces have appeared in the Lille district, and the struggle there may decide the outcome of the French campaign. R O R VETERAN OF 1870 LEADS ATTACK ON ANTWERP.

General Paul Gerald Pau, who commands one of France’s armies, is a veteran of the Franco-Prussian war and is sald to be the most popular soldier -in France. In the war of 1870- he lost his right arm, but com- tinued in the service and in time rose to the head of his profession. He retired in 1911, but when the pres- ent war broke out General Joffre placed General Pau in command of an army, and he signalized his re- entry to the service by splendid work in Alsace. He was the first French general to be mentioned in the offi- cial reports. 2,000,000 GERMANS FAGE THE ALLIES On the Battle Front, Oct. 9.—An of- ficial announcement made known for ! the first time the vast numbers of the German forces fighting against‘ the allies in Belgium and France.
