LONDON, Oct. H. 1:40 p. rn.
Out of the mass of wholly Irrecon
cilable assertions regarding the war
Iu I'nrope emerge the seemingly en
tabllshed fact that tho nermann are
attempting to ropeut the rapid sweep
trig movement which five weeks ago
took them almost to the gates of

With most of UelKlurn already oc
cupied, there Is nothing that can
Mop the Invaders reaching tho coast
and remaining there at least tempor
arily unless the Hrltlsh naval guns
arc ahlo to render tenure ImpoFalblc.
The length of their stay at tho
popular seaside retort, should tbey
seize Ostend, will, of course, depend
on the outcome or the great battle
now understood to be openlug near
the frontiers separating the prov
inces of West Flanders and Halnaut
from the French department of the
nprth.
lieyond nn unconfirmed report of
fighting in the direction of Zee
bridge, a coast town IS miles north
east or Ostend, there Is no further
news of, the German advance In this
vicinity. Further south there is
reason to believe that the left wing
of the allies has been strongly rein
forced, and confirmation or this Is
round In the statement In the latest
report trom General Joffre, the
French commander-in-chief that the
offenstvo against the Germans has
been resumed In that part of tho lino

In order to strengthen his forces
in this vicinity General Von Kluck
bus thrown an entire army corps
Into Lille. Thl.i, manufacturing town
has once before been In in German
hands, and It has been within tho
Gorman lines slnco an early stage or
the hostilities. Its occupation today
does not seem to have been seriously
opposed, In fact, It Is explained here
that It could not havo been without
disarranging tho allies' lino.
