There is Evidence That the German Assaults Are Now Being Delivered With Much Less Force in France. Believed That German Advance to Coast Has Been Checked and That Enemy Has Been Compelled to Weaken His Left and Centre to Strengthen His Right Again. London, Oct. 16 --The western battle is going slow- ly, but surely, in favor of the allies, the Germans who started to advange on Calais and other French eoast ports have been forced to evacuate the left bank of the Lys riv- er, which is a considerable way east of the points to whieh their advance guards reached last week. Evidence that the Germans assaults ave being de- livered with less force is conveyed in the intimation that between Somme and th Oise their artillery attacks are not being followad up with infantry charges, It is possihle that they hate withdrawn some of their troops from this position to strengthen their advance toward the coast, but this, it is considered, would be risky, as it might per- mit the allies to break through and interrupt the com- Inanleatians of their armies which are fighting north of the Aisne. i On the whole, the British military critics consider the communiea- tion 'a most cheerful one." They believe that the German advance to » the. French .coast has been definitdly "checked, and "that "the" ad reported elsewhere show that the Géfmans bave been compelled to weak. en their centre and left in order to strengthen their right again. However, although the Germans have failed. to break the allied lime and have themselves been compelled to give ground, they are now in a better position, having a front which stretches from the Swiss frontier ta Antwerp and Dutch territory, so that there are no flanks which the allies can turn 5 The allies can attempt to break in, they are trying to do on the and this is believed to be what Belgian frontier : -- bored in Paris.
