The German war machine has bat tered its way into the Belgian town of Dixmude. To-day's official French statement contains the admission that the allies were obliged to fall back from this point of vantage in the great battle for possession of the eastern shore of the British Channel. As an offset the French war office states that the allies' forces have advanced along the North .Sea coast, pushing back the Germans and taking Doinbaertzyde, a small Belgian town a few miles north east of Nleuport. The warring nations awaited with keen suspense the outcome of the struggle in Belgium, which for the moment overshadows the conflicts on the many other fields of battle. From neither point came reports of impor tant changes in the situation. The capture of Dixmude was the first indication that the new attack of the Germans, described as their su pr»me effort and as probably marking a turning point in the war. had brought definite results. Between Dix mude and Ypres, which lies to the south close to the French border, the fighting had been most intense, since the Germans elected at the opening of the week to begin the new onslaught with the help of their reinforcements of fresh troops and new artillery. On October 16. during the advance on < >s tend. the Germans occupied Dixmude, but later were compelled to fall bai l-' The allies gained possession of the town temporarily, but their presence there was challenged repeatedly by the Germans, resulting In some of the most Important and sanguinary fight ing of the war. Whether the German victory will exert an important in fluence on the outcome is not as yet disclosed. X'o Change in Other Pans Along tiie remainder of the battle line, says the French war office, there is no change, except for slight prog ress by the allies at a few points. The Berlin view of the situation, however, is optimistic. Comment Is made there of the use of the expression "good advances" in the latest official German reports concerning the fighting in the west, being the first occasion on which such terms have been employed in this connection. Parfs also Is hopeful as to the out 'ome in Belgium.

The German Crown Prince is reported to have been pluced In supreme command of the German and Austrian forces in tlio Kast. Petrograd contradicts the Ger man claim to an important victory along the northern border, asserting that a briliant success has been won there and that the Russians have be gun an invasion of i£ast Prussia. On the southern end of the line Cossacks are approaching Cracow, while the in vestment of Przemysl, from which the Russians were swept back several weeks ago, is said to have been com pleted for a second time. Few details of the fighting in the East are permitted to reach the out side world. It is said, however, that the Kussians are employing new tac tkles, placing their main reliance on huge bodies of infantry rather than on their cavalry. With disregard tor the German artillery, solid masses of troops are thrust against the positions of the enemy, leading to hand-to-hand lighting of a most desperate nature. There were further indications to day that the Turks were ofTeririK de tcrmined resistance to the Russian advance. An official Turkish state ment laid claim to considerable suc cess in operations in the Caucasus as well as on the Egyptian frontier. The Turks announced also that they had occupied a fortified position at El- Arish, Egypt, a point on the Mediter ranean near boundary of Egypt and Palestine. Heavy lighting continues on Servian soil. The Austrian government says thnt its forces have made several im portant advances, repulsing the enemy and capturing many prisoners. Japan is celebrating the fall of Tsinrg Tau with an enormous demon stration in Tokio. In recognition of the heroic defense of the Germans, the Governor of Tslng Tau was per mitted to retain his sword and main tain a soldier's honors. A similar tri bute to gallantry was paid by the Brit ish Admiralty, which gave direction that all honors of war be accorded to the survivors of the German cruiser Emden. (Oilier War News Page II)
