D) Continual Artillery Fire Designed to Open Way for Advance of Infantry LOSSES ARE OFFSET Beyond the Taking of Dixmude by the Invaders, Their Pro- gress Has Amounted to Three Weeks the British Been Subjected to a Rain of Shells Night and Day, and Have Repulsed All Attacks of the Enemy—Russians Have Occupied Johannisburg, East Prussia—In Galicia They Have Resumed Siege of Przemysl—Great Britain and France Have Warned Ecuador and Colombia That BY REINFORCEMENTS Very Little—For More Than Have Held Ypres, Which Has They Will Countenance No Further Violations of Neutrality. i “The German artillery fire was prac- tically a continual bombardment, in- tended to pulverize paratory to the advance of the in- fantry.” This announcemert, made by the British official press bureau ra- garding the fighting around Ypres and Dixmude, in West Flanders, gi es some idea of the nature of the fichting which has been going on in that part of Belgium during the past few days. The losses are admitied L0 have been very heavy and, says the statem.nt, “the allies’ strength has been con- stantly maintained by reason of reine forcements.” Tt is known that the Germans also have been receiving heavy suppcrts, with the determination of pushing their advance throuth to the French ports on the English channel. Never- theless, both English and French de- clare tbat beyond the taking of Dix- mude by the invaders their progress has amounted to very little. For more than three weeks the British have held Y¥pres, which has been subjected to a rain of shells day and night, followed :n.t Ir,:lc!vals by . artillery attacks of the 08L desperate nature, all of whi have been repuised, > While the latest French official state- ment says that an attempt by the Germans to -debouch from Dixmude a ni attack has been repulsed, Berlin re that the German attack across the Yser canal to the south of Dix- mude is progressing and that in thi Tegion east of Ypres they have made e further advamce, capturing 700 French soldiers and some Zuns. In the eastern arema the Russians have occupied Johannisburg, Prussia, and in Galicia the siege of Przemysl has been resumed.

On account of interrupted cable service there had been no com- munication with the vessels for more than a week, consequently while no real anxiety was felt by navy officials, they could not make the flat denial of tke rumor necessary to set the public mind at rest. Despatches from the department brought no replies until today when a cablegram from the captain of the Tennessee came through, announcing that he had been in wireless touch with the North Carolina and that she was safe. Later came the message from Cap- tain Oman of the North Carolina, say- ing everything was quiet at Beirut, his ship had met with no mishap and landed no men. Officials have been unable to dis- cover how the mine rumor started.
