Twenty-sixth Day of Contest With

Tries Daring Move Would Out

of Antwerp by Flanking Move.
LONDON. Oct. 7. 10:10 n. m.
Tho conflict along thu rivers ot
Northern France, although now In Its
2Cth day, nhow-g fewer signs of an
early end than It did two days ago.
Then Gcnoral Von Kluck appeared
dangerously threatened by tho en
veloping movement of the allied arm
ies. Today that resourceful German
commander, having obtained from an
unknown quarter heavy reinforce
ments, apparently is engaged. In his
turn. In attempting to outflank tho
French and British lines.
Von KluckV Counter Stroke
This counter stroke Is viewed hero
at, tho supremo feature In the flltua
tlon in tho western theater of tho war,
and Its full significance can bo gauged
only by the actors who alono aro
privileged to witness tho drama In
which they aro engaged.
' Simultaneously with his newly
launched turning movement, General
Von Kluck has been trying to cut
through tho center of tho allies ex
tended left at Lasslgny. Tho official
French communication says that this
attempt was foiled, but it Is not
doubted that tho effort will bo re
uowed and In tho event ot success
would compel tho left wing of the
French army to retire toward the
coast In order to escape tho German
lines stretching out simultaneously.
The fighting in this neighborhood,
described In tho French official report
an "moro and nioro violent," must,
It ia believed, reach to Antwerp and
largely Influence tho fato of that
fortress.
Turning Move to Italic Selgo
Tho surest way of raising tho slcgo
of tho temporary Belgian capital, It Is
said, will be tho success of tho French
turning movement on tho Olso.
Neither tho German nor tho French
commander Iiub claimed any decision
in this unprecedented struggle. In
deed, tho German report states that
nothing dcclnlvo has resulted yet from
tho attacks and counter attacks in tho
district extending from I.tlllo to Royo
by way ot Lciib. Arras and Albert.
Doth the Germans and tho Aus
trians claim to have chocked tho Rus
sian offenslvo and gained successes,
but as usual tho Muscovito state
ments fnll to agree xvlth those of their
opponents. Tho German papers in
Ucrlln announced that tho Russian
advance on the Kast I'riibslau border
not only wa3 checked but that Km
poror Nicholas' forces have been suc
cessfully attacked near Suwalkl, tho
sceno ot much recent fighting.
Dislodge Russians
Further south, on the Vistula. Ger
man and Austrian forces aro said to
hnvo dislodged tho Russians from
their entrenched positions between
Opatow nml Ostrowiec, with heavy
Russian losses In prisoners and guns,

states (hat thu noithcustcni suburbs
