London, 10 a. m.—Dispatches reaching London from Belgium and Holland continue to insist that the Germans are withdraw ing' many of their troops from their western battle front but '.he official communications from the official headquarters of the allies do not indicate any lessening of (he force of the German attack, which is proceeding with its usual fury.

The French forces were successful in main taining the front. The British troops attacked also at several points succeeded everywhere in stopping the enemy. “Good Advances.” Berlin, (via wireless).—The signffl cance of the latest official reports con o-rfcing the situation in the western arena of hostilities is increased fav orably. in the opinion of German crit ics by the fact that the words “good advances” are used in referring to the conflict in the Argonnes.

Nevertheless Paris seems well satis fied with the situation of the allies and the optimism of the past two weeks continues unabated. Too Far Apart. The German position, however, is being given considerable close study. French military critics from the standpoint of strategy regard the Ger man position between two adversaries too far from each other for united efforts in the same operation a's a fa vorable one for. the reason that it per mits the use of what is called "in ternal lines." Of First Importance. It is therefore of the first, impor tance for the Germans to heat the allies in Belgium and free fod'Ja time at least their line of operatioijjMn or der that they may turn their atten tion to the Russians.

With Cossacks raiding within 20 miles of Cracow, the commandant of that fort ress has ordered the civilian population of the city to leave. Przemsyl is said to be fully Invested again and the re duction of this fortress Is likely to pre cede any further advances by the Rus sian left wing Should Have Followed.
