Break Through Allies' Lines. "The attack was pressed with the greatest bravery and determination. Owing to the gallantry of our troops and their splendid resistance against great odds the attempt to penetrate to Ypres was repulsed, but the weight or the enemy's advance enabled them to break through our lines at three points. They were, however, hurled back and prevented from gaining further ground "An immense loss was inflicted on the enemy, 700 of their dead being found on the ground behind our front trenches alone. The casualties suffered by them in advancing up to our line under direct and enfiladed fire must have been enormous. Our casualties also were heavy. We took 1,300 pris­ oners" French Official Report.

London, Nov. 18.--The Belgians again have wrecked the German plains. The allies for nearly a Week have been trying to dislodge the invaders, who held Dixmude and its environs, but without success, owing to the iso­ lated position of the German strong­ hold and the impregnable defensive works erected by the Germans. During the day several Belgian de­ tachments of engineers, with a strong force of sappers, worked around to the south of the town and cut an­ other dike, which has flooded the rear of the German position to an impas­ sable depth, marooning the occupantB of the town and catting them off from their main body: Thousand^ of Lives Lost The supporting columns'of German Infantry and machine gun detachments were driven back to the westward by tha flood, and thousands of lives were lost in the withdrawal. The field east and south of Dixmude is covered with dead, hundreds of bodies of men and horses floating in the swirling waters of the flood. The inundated region now extends from a point just south of Nieuport to the forest of Houthturst about three miles north of BixschoQte. . ^ Between Bixschoote and Dixmude several strong columns were being hurled forward en masse in an effort to force the canal again and regain the western bank. But the torrents loosed by the opening of the dikes caught them on the front and thfey fled in great disorder in their anxiety to escape being wiped out Entire Regiment Wiped Out. One entire regiment (3,000 men) which had sought to, escape the wall »i>f water withdrew along a ridge of ground running parallel with the canal. When they reached a point just to the south of Bixschoote a ter­ rific bombardment opened from the allies' trenches with artillery, rapid- firers and rifleB. The column was within easy range and the Germans were mowed down rank upon rank nntil the regiment was annihilated. Germans Win1 in Argonne. An official announcement given out in Berlin says that the German at­ tacks in Flanders are progressing slowly, but that in the Argonne the Germans have obtained further impor­ tant successes. 8outh of Ypres the fighting rages with great fury, although the burden of the. conflict is on the artillery, the biting gale, driving hail, rain and snow before it, bringing practically to a halt the furious attacks and counter-at­ tacks that have made this region an inferno' during the past month. Artillery conflicts continue along the Aisne. Both Sides Are Victors. London, Nov. 18.--Victories for the Germans and Russians respectively at the two extremes of the battle line in Russian Poland are claimed by the war offices of the two nations. News has reached Venice that part of Cracow Is ablaze. Cracow is invested on the north and is expected to fall immediately. The inhabitants are fleeing. At Wlaclawek, on the Vistula, 3f miles northwest of Plotsk, the southeri extreme of this section of the far-flunt front, the German war office reports several Russian army corps hurled back and 23,000 men, more than twen­ ty machine guns and several cannon captured. This victory indicates that the Ger­ mans have resumed the offensive in Poland with the idea of trying to throw back the Russian wing in the direction of Warsaw and compel Grand Duke Nicholas to withdraw troops from his already successful in­ vasion of East Pruscfck to the north ef Wlaclawek to drive the Germans from Poland again. The peril of the Germans in the North is demonstrated by the official announcement from Petrograd that Soldau, an important city near the border in East Prussia, has been cap­ tured by th<~ Russians for the third time. Twice re-enforcements from Thorn have driven out the compara­ tively small detachment of Cossacks that have occupi/ed the town, but the last seizure will be permanent, the Russian war office says, because large bodies of troops( have been thrown across the border from the region of Mlawa.

The $10,000,000 in these notes which the bank ordered from the federal reserve board in Washington did not arrive. The delay was ascribed to the large' amount of work involved In engraving the hun­ dreds of millions of dollars' worth of new bills which will be made ready for public circulation in the operation of the new banking law.
