DEARTH OF NEWS
DM
WA
ZONE
WORSE THAN EVER
LONnON, Oct. G, 1:09 p. m.
N'ovor since its stnrt has the battlo Of
the Alsnc, which hna now beebmo
virtually a siege ot tbo Herman posi
tions on the OIso and north ot this
river, shown such a dearth of news
as on this 2!th day of the struggle.
Tito Uritlsh Information bureau,
never very diffuse, completely closed
down on current events from tho
front several days ago and tt prob
ably will so continue until Sir John
French, the commander ot tho llrit
lsh expeditionary force, puts his army
In motion again.
Tho rotlcence of tho Paris official
communication last night was oven
mora marked than usual. It fur
nished no Inkling of what had hap-
pcnciU after tho Germans "had
forced tho French to yield ground
at certain points" on tho all-lmport-nnt
western wing.
It Is argued hero that these In
termittent variations aro inevitable
and not necessarily Important In
such a bard fought combat, through
out which given positions aro taken
and re-taken and taken again many
times.
That tho allies, for tho moment,
possess greater mobility than their
foes, seems to bo indicated by the
nows that they have been able to raid
tho German lines of communication,
cut a railroad and destroy a train
belonging to the artillery of tho Ger
man Imperial guard.
As to tho enormous wastngo In
horses progresses. It Is claimed for
tho allies that their possibilities for
such movements will Increase while
those of their opponents decrease.
German cavalrymen on bicycles al
ready aro a common sight, and tho
Russian advance which Is cutting
Germany off from the horse produc
ing districts ot Hungarian must, If
maintained, further Increase the
shortage In re-mounts.
