eral combination of powers such as sev-1
eral times saved Turkey from final de- j
struction by the heavy hammer of
Russian forces. With the blood of our i

"We shall for once receive only help
and co-operation from the Anglo-;
French fleets in the Aegan. We will let j

we will tackle in front by sea and by

BALANCE OF Gil
FAI TIE ALLIES
Latest Offensive Move
ment of Germans in
Belgium and France
Determinedly Met
THE FIGHTING ON
YSER RIGHT BANK
While Paris Admits Allies Have Not
Regained All Lost Ground in Valley
of Yser, Their Known Gains Give
Hope of General Success
Paris, Nov. 2, 6.50 A. M.—The al
lied troops, according to official infor
mation here, are still determinedly
meeting the latest vigorous offensive
movement of the Germans in Belgium
and in Prance. To date the French and
English assert that the balance of
gains is in their favor and they look
to see the failure of the German offen
sive in this section indicated soon by a
general and delinite withdrawal of the
enemy upon the right bank of the
Yser.
While it. is admitted that the allies
have not regained all of the lost ground
in the Valley of the Yser, their known
gains in that region give every hope
of a general success. In the vicinity
of Nieuport and Dixmude the enemy
has been repulsed beyond the railroad
while the inundation effected between
the Yser and tile Nieuport-Dixmude line
has rendered the ground so swampy that
the German trenches have become un
inhabitable. This last fact is noted in
the latest Belgian official statement.
• Allies Surround Poelkapello
Referring to the developments on
I the line from Dixmude to Ypres the
I Belgian statement is precise in its an
nouncement that Poelkapelle has been
! surrounded by the allies. Poelkapelle is
| an Important point as it is the center
.of the network of communication of
■ routes and railroads between Dixmude,
i Ypres, Heulers and Thorout.
l'he French assert that there is more
significance in the announcement that
in one week 7,651! German prisoners
have been taken then appears on its
face. They assert that when such a
number can be gathered in it indicates
that the German troops are becoming
worn on are suffering from normal de
pression.
Precautions Against Epidemic
Sanitary measures to avoid a pos
sible epidemic are being taken on a
large scale by the French league. Six
thousand communes in France, which
are seeing the ravages of war, will be
visited sooner or Inter. Of this number
there are eleven hundred where hy
gienic measures will be immediately ta
ken.
Lieutenant Colonel Bousset, the mili
tary critic, in reviewing the recent op
erations, declares it is impossible to
say how long the war will last or
whether Germany still can find enough
men to prolong the contest. He be
lieves he is able to affirm, however, that
they have already made their strongest
efforts.
