Bemade--- Under Support of Heavy Artillery French Hold Enemy Back. » nog p London, Oct 65:--~There is no ap- preciable sign of a let-up in the fero- | ity of the fighting in the west of | France. The Germans continue | their desperate attempts to isolate | the northern army of Gen. Damade | and have forced the French to give way at several points on the battle | line, It is declared by military ex- |: perts here, however, that this ac tion in no way means any general | retrogression by the French . left. | Simply at certain points the advan- ced line got into trouble and wa { withdrawn to. the base trenches, | where, under support of their heavy | artillery, the units can hold the Ger- | mans in check. That the Germans realize how im- | portant to the spirit of their entire army is the holding of their present lines is shown by the extraordinary measures taken to reinforce their] western forces. Thousands of men have been withdrawn from the | centre and from the left to strength- en the right. The result the military experts here say, will be to prolong but not | to change, the inevitable outcome | of the battle, already marked up | by the allies as a victory for their cause, An Eye To Antwerp.
