It is added that the town was not occupied in great force. It is im­ possible to obtain verification of this report, which, however, was from a re­ liable source.

On the French left the allies are •aid to have driven back the invaders a distance of ten miles, and have aa- •umed new positions in front of Givenchy and Fromelles. Also they have retaken Armefctieres, one of the most important cities near the Bel­ gian border, and a railroad center of treat strategic value. To the north of Arras the French and British troops succeeded In break­ ing through the German cordon estab­ lished there for the purpose of control­ ling the lines of railway stretching to the east, and so far have been able tb hold the ground thus gained.

Fighting has been renewed at Bel- fort, and two violent night attacks by the Germans to the north and again to the east of Saint Die were repulsed by the French with severe losses to the enemy. The Germans are reported to have suffered new reverses In the fighting in Lorraine and to the east, where the army of the crown prince Is in an extremely difficult position. The most gigantic engagement of the war Is now being fought just across the border in western Belgium, but it is ignored in the official dis­ patches because of the lack of prog­ ress to report. The fighting is as yet in the preliminary stages, for the numbe& actually engaged are too great and the weight of the support both in big guns and the enormous ..strength in men available is so evenly divided that the greatest deliberation is being exercised by the rival com­ manders.

Clashes occurred in sev­ eral localities in High street, Dept- ford, in the borough of London. Ger­ man-owned shops wqre wrecked.

MARCH TO PARIS IS HALTED Diapatoh to London Paper Says Ostend Is Occupied by Allied Army-- Teu­ tons Said to Have Been Re­ pulsed by Belgians. OB the1 Battle Front, Via Paris, Oct. 21.--British warshipB, cannonading the German land forces, «fho had opened a terrific bombardment of the allies' en­ trenched position between Nleuprfrt, on the Belgian North sea coast, and Dixmude, southward on the Vpres canal, repulsed the invaders by their flanking and enfilading fire. The Belgians, fighting on their own soli to regain their country, dashed forward and in desperate counterat­ tacks are said to have hurled the Ger­ mans back. This is the first time in the war in the North that naval vessels of any of the belligerents have effectively aided the land forces in the operations. The firing from the guns of war ves­ sels along the coast to the west of Os­ tend had been heard for two days, but until the official communique was is­ sued from Bordeaux and transmitted for publication to General Gallieni in Paris the identity of the ships and the purpose of their bombardment of the coast remained hidden under the cloak of official military secrecy. The German attack on this section of the allies' front in northern Belgium was directed in an effort to break through along the coast and secure a foothold on the French coast line posi­ tions before the strength of the allies should have become so great as to bar their progress without resort to frontal attack, with its. consequent inevitable carnage. While the Germans were trying to hammer their way through the Bel­ gian line in the North, other corps of King Albert's army, assisted by the French and British troops, drove forward across the width of the bat- tlefield, routed in their advance the German troops who had bivouacked for the night, and swept the expansive field clean of the invaders, pushing them back with severe losses as far as their original position at Roulers.

The inhabitants of Dunkirk and Boulogne are in flight.' The Belgian lightship off Zee- >rugge, the port of Bruges, has been ihelled by a German battery from ihore and the crew has been forced o flee.

Arrival of German Warship at Hono­ lulu Stirs Naval Authorities to Investigation. Washington, Oct. 19.--President Wil­ son was confronted hy two serious questions in connection with the neu­ trality ot the United States. The first was in the form of a pro- teat presented hy the British ambas­ sador that the port of Manila, In the Philippine island, was being used bb a base for German warships operating In the Pacific ocean. The second arose through the action of the Marconi wireless station at Honolulu In flashing to the United States and about the Pacific ocean the fact of the arrival at that port of the German gunboat Geler. The British protest was supported by instances where steamers have loaded coal and other supplies at Manila, and while clearing for a des­ ignated port have merely touched at that port and gone to an unknown port, where they have transferred their* stores to German men-of-war. In view of the British complaint, Secretary Garrison, who has charge of all" Philippine matters, sent a long ca­ blegram to Governor-General Harrison directing him to make a thorough in restigation. The governor-general also vill i$sue a warning against violation of neutrality and of the penalty of seizure which will follow Its violation. With reference to the action of the Marconi station at Honolulu in giving publicity to the news of the arrival of the Geier, a conference took place at the White House between tlte pre§i- dent, Acting Secretary of State Lan­ sing and Acting Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt. Thereupon Rear Ad­ miral Moore, in command of the naval station at Honolulu, was Instructed to close the station unless a satisfac­ tory explanation was made within 24 hours.
