TODAY’S WAR CONDENSED Official war news was brief today, but war office statements are not needed to make plain the momentous results hang on the fortunes of the des perate battles being waged at vital points on the line that stretches from Switzerland through northern France to within 25 miles of the Straits <»f Dover. Te heaviest fighting is on the Itne o<- and Lens. This after noon's official report from Paris says the Allies repulsed German attacks between Arras and the Oise and that cavalry engagements continue in the region of La Bassee, Estaires and HazebVourk. Special attention is directed to Ostend. There have assembled the great er part of the Belgian army and about two-thirds of the British forces that escaped from Antwerp. It is believed Germany is pushing forward to atack the city hoping to capture and use the port in he<r operations against England. A bitter struggle to keep the Germans from the coast is inevitable. To day's reports indicate that the German cavalry advance is less than thirty miles from Ostend. T'he strength of the Allies at Ostend Is not known. It Is possible that British reinforcements which were unable to Teach Antwerp in time to help in the defense of that city are now in Ostend. Still less Is known of the situation In the eastern theatre of the war. Petrograd is silent on recent develop ments. The Russian war office ex plans this silence on the grounds of strategy. Vienna claims the Russian at tack on Przemysl, the strong fortress in Austrian Galicia, has failed. Berlin asserts that the Russian advance on the East Prussian iVontier has been checked while the Germans are steadily working eastward in Russian Poland.
