LONDON, Oct. 26 [Associated Press).—‘* Advices from the front this morning,”’ says the Paris correspondent of Reuter’s Telegram Company, ‘‘indicate a general allied ad- vance in the region betweer. Nieuport and Ypres as well as to the east of Arras.” PARIS, Oct. 26 (United Press].—The Germans who have crossed the Yser in heavy force have failed to follow up their advantage, according to the official communique issued at 3 o'clock this afternoon. It is stated that the allied line opposing the enemy at his point is intact, while the French lines everywhere else are maintained. A The Government characterizes the German losses in the recent battles as ‘‘considerable.”” Officers and men who are brought here wounded are sternly enjoined not to talk. The officials at military head- quarters here add nothing to the official communiques. But it is certain that the losses are increasing. In the fast ten days of fighting the allies must have lost fully 10,000 in killed, wounded and prisoners each day. Many of the crack Scotch and Irish regiments, whose places along the Somme have been taken by fresh troops, and who are now fighting far in the north, have lost fully 40 per cent. ‘of their enlisted strength in the last ten days of fighting. Reinforcements have been sent to the north and the British warships continue to sweep the Germans with an enfilading fire wherever they try to push their lines back to the coast. In consequence of the deadly nature of the shell fire from the coast the Germans have abandoned most of their positions along the main roadway connecting Ostend and Nieuport. They have batteries posted at all points where a hostile force could be landed from the sea, so no attempt has been made to try a flanking assault under cover of the guns of the warships.

They will probably not benefit by this, however, inasmuch as the ba- sleging army, after having approached to the outer defenses of the city from the south, was driven back eight miles after a week of fierce fighting. All the accused were bitterly de- nounced by the Court. The fact that they had boldly and defiantly ad- mitted the crime was referred to and there is no doubt, when they are re- manded, that the penalty will be death. The assassination took place in thia clty June 28, According to the evi- dence the «ix bombs and four Browning pistola taken from the con- epiretors after the royal couple wero slain had been furnished to them in Belgrade by Milan Ciganovie and Commander Volja Tankosle of tie Servian army.

Hurdly had he gone back into the jury room when Cropaey haled him once more before Judge Roy.

He dented the right of the District-Attorney to question him at all, maintaining that Cropsey had no jurisdiction over what thight happen at Sing Sing prison, Judge Roy upheld the District-at- torney and sent Malloy to Jat! until he should purge himacif of contempt by answering Cropsey’s questions.
