BIG GUNS SAVE GERMANS
AS ALLIES STIFFEN LINE
LONDON, Oct. 38,
TImj beginning of the ISth week of the
war finds the Allies and the Germans still
locked In a furious struggle in the west
ern theatre of war.
The greatest Interest now centres In the
fighting in the northern sphere, around
Arras, Lille and over tho Nieuport-Dlx-mnde-Roulers
line In Belgium. The time
ly arrival of reinforcements and big guns
saved the Germans In that region Just
as their lines had begun to waver beneath
the vigorous assaults of the French, Brit
ish and Belgians.
The Germans have been ablo to achieve
successes near IJllo, France, and on the i
Tser In Belgium. Dlxmude. Belgium
has been badly damaged by artillery Are
and flames set by shells.
The following description of fighting
and havoo In northwestern Belgium has
been telegraphed by a correspondent of
the Dally Telegraph, who visited the
Dlxmude battlefield last Wednesday in
company with a son of tho Belgian War
Minister, 31. De Broqueville:
"No pen could do Justlco to the grandeur
and horror of the scene. As far as the
eye could carry nothing could bo seen i
but burning villages and bursting shells, i
I realized for the first time how com-
pletely the motor has revolutionized war
far and how every other factor Is
dominated by tho presence or absence of
this method of transportation. j
"Every road to tho front was packed
with cars. They formed an ever-rolling, I
endless stream, going and returning. In
every village hundreds of private car3
were parked under the control of medical
officers, waiting to carry the wounded to
field hospitals. ,
"On tho firing line a terrible seine pre.
seated Itself. Thij shell fire from tha
German batteries was so severe that the
Belgian soldiers and French and British
marines were literally blown out of their
dug-outs and sent scattering to cover.
Along crowded roadways and across shell
torn fields knots of peasants old men,
women and children could be seen in
flight.

In front of Dlxmude. Many of tho Ger
mans wero drowned when the Belgians

A considerable area of tho low-lying

Along the western section of the centre
tho French and British have been making
severe counter attacks to divert tho at
tention of the Germans from tho extreme
north. Northwest of Solssons, the Brit
ish gained a stlght advantage. The Ger

from long occupancy that they could not

Along tho Allies' right, an artillery duel
Is In progress, and It probably will bo

In the district east of the Mous, be

of tho Grand Duke of Wurttembcrg to
Join hands In the Argonne region have
been frustrated by tho skilful maneuver
ing of the French. Tho French have taken
possession of the village of Melzlcourt in
tho middle of the Argonno region, com
manding the route of tho valley of the
Alsne. So long ns this key Is held, the
German armies in question can bo kept
apart.
Severe fighting waa continued today.
The Germans have brought up heavy
batteries to destroy the French artillery
posted to command the line of communi
cations toward St. Mlhlel through the
Thlaucourt-Nousard road.
"These unfortunates had to make their
way the best they could to the rear and
many of them were killed by bursting
shells.
"Dlxmude was the object of the German
attack, and shells wore bursting all over
the city. Houses were being ripped and
torn and the streets were full of wreck
age. Many buildings were In flames. At
times wreckage was blown up. falling like
rain over a wide area. From a distance
of three miles we could hear the German
shells crashing on the streets of tho town.
Smoko rolled upward from the burning
houses and the bursting shells. The Bel
gians had only a fow field batteries, so
that the heavy German howitzers domi
nated the field and the Infantry trenches
around the town had to rely upon their
own unaided efforts.
"Our progress along the road waa sud
denly stopped by one of the most horrible
sights I have over seen. A heavy German
howitzer shell had fallen and burst in the
midst of a Belgian battery, causing much
destruction. The mangled bodies of the
men lying sprawled among the carcasses
of artillery horses nnd wrecked caissons
presented a shocking spectacle.
"Eventually we got to Dlxmude. Every
time a shell screamed Into the town we
thought our ond had como. The town hnll
was a sad sight. The roof was completely
riddled. Tha Interior was a scene of
chaos. It was piled with loaves of bread,
military trappings, broken bicycles and
bodies of dead soldiers.
"Wednesday evening Dlxmude was a
red. blazing furnace a scene of fury and
carnage. The horizon was red with
burning houses. The thunder of the
German guns echoed on every side and
the whine of the shell was not stilled."
Colonel Replngton, military expert of
the Times, in writing of the operations
In the western theatre, points out that
the objective of the Germans has un
doubtedly been Calais.
"The fighting in the extreme northern i
part of the France and in northwestern
Belgium has been particularly severe,
but we have not yet heard that the '
much-boasted German offensive has had
any results commensurate with the lm
mense losses incurred." he asserts.

WAR OPERATIONS OF DAY
SHOW OPENING FOR ALLIES
Brilliant Chance for a Napoleon to Strike at Gap Left
Along Coast by Germans Kaiser Also Has
Oppc
lortunity for
By J. W. T. MASON
NEW YORK. Oct. 86. The German of
fensive In Southwestern Belgium has
made progress serosa tho Yser Canal, but
in doing so has hnd to give ground along
the coast
The lire of the British warships, appar
ently, had compelled the Germans to
movn a frw miles inland and to attempt
their advance on Dunkirk away from
the sea front.
Tills Is a serious disadvantage. The
const lino has served, hitherto, ns abso
lute protection against a flank attack by
the Allies, since to get around tho Ger
man right It would have been ncco?sary
for tho Allies to march Into the North
Sea. Now. with a belt of unoccupied ter
ritory between tho German right and tho
sea. possibility of a flank attack exists.
Whether It will bo attempted depends
on the number of men tho Allies can
spare, from the main front. Without a
very large force tho maneuver would be
dangerous.
The Germans, by changing a part of
their front, might succeed in driving the
flanking force Into tho sea. This counter
stroko. during Its execution, would strip
the Allies of warship support, slnco any
force used to threaten tho German right
flank would necessarily Interpose Itself
between tho enemy's position and the lino
of fire from tho British monitors and
gunboats.
Thus, while the Germans are taking
a risk in moving away from tho coastal
protection of their right flank, thero
would bo considerable danger to tho Allies
In tnklng advantage of the opening. This
Is the very condition of warfare desired
by a military genius. It permits him
to put his Intuitions to the risk and by
sheer audacity win a great victory. If
thero Is a brilliant offensive commander
among the Allies ho might well seize
this moment to strike at the German
flank.
Particularly might such a move be
planned by tho French General Stnff,
because flanking operations are the es
sence of tho French theory of warfare,
In opposition to the German belief that
envelopment Is tho only effective basic
principle of strategy.
While this opportunity exists for the
Allies. It necessarily creates a counter
opportunity for the Germans. The pos
sibility that a flanking movement might
be driven Into the sea would give to a
German commander of genius the sud
den chance, dangerous but maybe ef
fective, of changing front nnd assault
ing from the new direction.
Existence of tho great unknown quan
tity In warfare has not been better dem
onstrated anywhere during the present
campaign than In these mingled possi
bilities of brilliant success or serious re
verso now existing along the Belgian
coast. Neither side has demonstrated
It possesses a modern Napoleon capable
of adequately handling the coastal sit
uation. It would be Interesting, how
ever, to see what General von Hlnden
berg might do if he were French instead
of German and were in Belgium instead
of directing the operations against War
saw. By a MILITARY EXPERT
LONDON, Oct. 26. Despite renewed
German progress In Belgium and
France, there is no cause for alarm, as
tho new Rusian drive toward Silesia
must soon force Germany to adopt de
fensive tactics in France.

for asserting that Germany's new suc
cesses In tho west can only be tempor
ary if Russia ndvanccs. They point out
that In SUcsla lie the richest mineral

empire and there the great estates of tho
landed gentry are situated.
In the territory again threatened by
Russia (and more seriously It appears
than ever before) aro tho Interests of
tho ruling class that aro blamed for the
war.
Tho critics, in this balancing of tho
east and west campaigns, are willing to
take the most pessimistic view of the
present situation In Franco, for tho sake
of argument. But they reason that It
Is far moro likely that German armies
will never again display their standards
so close to Paris as In the early days
of September. The chance was lost when
General Joffre hurled his Paris resorve
army at Von Kluk. At that time every
thing was In Germany's favor. Russia
was not quite ready. Tho Allies wero
outnumbered and 'outfought. Now Russia
Is prepared. Tho Allies have forces at
least equal to, probably superior to, the
German strength.
The Allies have gained confidence In
their fighting qualities. They havo gained
the habit of successful defense. There
fore, as was pointed out today, Ger
many's chancts for a new and rapid drive
are reduced to the vanishing point. The
Germans may contlnuo their desperate
effort to reach tho French coast and to
straighten their line. They may win
back much territory. But the logic of
the situation agrees with nil the Informa
tion available that rUBh tactics cannot
succeed.
By a TRENCH CRITIC
PARIS. Oct. 2B. From the beginning of
the campaign In northern Franco and
Belgium, and slnco the sweep almost to
the gates of Paris Initiated by the Ger
man right, a movement which caused a
watching world to gasp In Incredulity,
tho German scheme of campaign must
have undergone many changes. Wher
ever the Germans havo essayed concen
tration and resumption of n vigorous of
fensive they have been met with Just
as strong counter maneuvers by tho
Allies.
Since tho battle of the Marne and tho
masterly stand at the Alsne tho German
General Staff has seen every aggressive
operation degenerate Into a defensive
stand at all points. With Insistency born
of increasing numerical strength, the left
of the allied front seemed to enfold and
menace the German lines of communca
tlon Into Belgium. The general offensive
would have to wait, therefore, until this
determined thrust at tho whole nervous
system of the German military organism
was ert'ectuallv parried and cut down.
The first drastic measure was the re
duction of Antwerp. This wns accom
plished with a celerity possible only to
such a splendidly equipped organization
as Is the German siege artillery. Fol

Completion of this maneuver, hesldes

lies' campaign and the shattering of any
possibility of an enveloping movement of
the German right, firmly entrenched near
the sea coast, would have shortened and

The force which wns released with
