LONDON. Oct. fi. The official silence maintained for the past twelve hours over the operations of tho allies in Northeastern France, was broken today by an official statement from Paris. This set forth that the left wing of the allied army was extending more and more widely. rt'he statement also said that strong forces of German rcivulrv had appeared in the vicinity of Lille, and that a German attack near Lassignv had failed. Disclosure that operations on the western end of the great battle lino have reached tho vicinity of Lille, places tho Germans in strength at a point easily within ten miles of the Belgian frontier. Taking Lassigny as the elbow of tho French hattle line, it now extends roughly for eighty miles due worth and for considerably more than 100 miles from Las aguy to the eastward. jijre. by leading newspapers, it was said, showed practically the entire country favored neutrality.
