Enolisli Fail at Loos German Offic
ial Statement' Says Allies' Drive of
Last Week Do-or-Die Effort That
Failed Hope to Influence Neut
rals by Victory.
BKKLIN, Oct. 5, via London, 4 p.
in. Tho British nltnek on tho Ger
man fortifications north of Loos has
been again repulsed. The war office
announced today that the efforts of
the British were fruitless nnd thnt
they sustained considerable losses.
"A British hand grenade attack on
the fortifications north of Loos wus
again repulsed. During tho fortress
attacks on the fortifications the Brit
ish left more than eighty prisoners,
as well ns two mine-throwers, in our
hnnds, in nddition to their very con
siderable losses in killed or injured.
"A section of n trench which had
been occupied by tho French on tho
hill northwest of Givcnchy was rc
en phi ml yesterday. Four mnchino
guns were taken.
"Aviators of the enemy dropcd
bombs on tho village of Biuchc, St.
.Vnost, northeast of Arms. One in
habitant was killed. Otherwise no
dnmngo was done.
Artillery I'lro in West
Artillery firing along n wido front
lias succeeded tho exhausting infan
try operations of tho past week or
more on the front in France, the
French war office statement today
shows. No exchanges of territory
nro reported.
A dispatch v from Berlin declares
that the German steamer Sviunin, re
ported sunk in tfiu Baltic sea 3'cster
dny by n British submarine, was nt
laeked with shell fire without warn
ig. A German official statement on tho
general offensive movement of the
entente allies on tho western front
declines in effect that it is shown to
have been a do-or-die effort to end
the war, which foiled. N
The Berlin war office asserts that
both British nnd French nnny orders
prove thnt "tho movement was started
with the intention of driving tho Gcr
mans from French soil, thus influene
ing hither neutral nations to join the
rntcnto powers.
Notwithstanding what is declared
to have been n seven-fold numerical
superiority and possession of vast
stores of war material, tho German
lines wero not broken, but merely
pushed back in two comparatively
small sectors to the second, nnd by
no means the last, German line. It
is asserted that virtually no German
troops which wero intended for ser
ieo on other fronts wero diverted
fro mthcir destination by tho allied
attack.

ment on Anibassudor Yon Bern-
storff's letter, as ho cousidorcd the
text spoke itself. Inasmuch ns thu
anibassudor is noting with tho fullest

Berlin foreign office, his representa
tions nro considered us final, the
crisis is cousidoied passed and noth
ing remains to the Arabic cases ex
cept the fixing of indemnity, which
will not be done by arbitration, as
Germany first proposed, but by dip
lomat io negotiations between the two
government. Tlicto negotiation!)
probably will begin orally.
In tho ubsenco of official comment
the ambassador's letter was generally
regarded ns signnlizing n completely
successful outcomo for tho principles
for which President Wilson has con
tended in tho siibmuriuo warfare con
troversy, which at least twico brought
Germany and tho United Slates to
the brink of a break in diplomutio re
lations. Inasmuch ns the Washington gov
ernment has contended that tho Ar
abic case must first be settled before
it could consider the rpiostinn of in
demnity growing out of the sinking of
the steamship Lusilaiiia, for which
Germany bus offered to pay, it is he
heved that fcatmo of the controversy
