London, Oct. 12—»A Reuter dis

gives a statement which was Issued
last night by the German General

This statement says:
Tbe German cavalry routed a

In an encounter which took place
west of Lille. We have Inflicted a
heavy loaa on the French cavalry.
The battle on the western front Is
■till undecided. The number of Brit

In tbe east, tbe Germans have re

the Russian outflanking efforts have
been frustrated. In South Poland
the German advance guard has reach

their great victory at Augustowe, Su-

fact that no official Russian com

tha -tremendous defeats at- Tannen-

the lack of reliable official Informa
