Generally speaking, the statement declares, the battle front shows no Important changes since the tenth of November. On to Channel. London, 9:55 a. m.—The wave of optimism which haa been sweeping England for the past week was check ed today by news of the German oc cupation of Dixmude and renewed in dication of the peril from German submarines by the fate of torpedo gunboat Niger, which yesterday morn ing destroyed by a torpedo launched from a submarine of the enemy. This occurred within sight of the English shore in the narrow part of the chan nel where several hundred ships lay at anchor. Hard to Estimate. The Importance of the fall of Dtx mude is difficult to estimate without 3 CRUISERS OF GERMANS SUNK IN PACIFIC?

No confirmation however, of this rumor Is obtainable, ORDERS CAPTIVES TO TURKISH ARMY I London, 7:40 a. m.—An Amsterdam I dispatch to The Central News says j "The kaiser has ordered that all J Mohammedans captured from the a!-: lied armies be #ent to Constantinople, to serve In the Turkish army.

Becomes Too Hot. The allies still hold Ypres, where the fighting evidently Is of the most desperate character. Shells constant ly are falling In the town, which also Is the object of aeroplane attacks. Armentlercs which constantly has been a bone of contention, being first occupied by the Invaders and then by the defenders, now has become too hot for occupation by either side. Invaders on Hills. The Germans are on the hills on one side of the town and the allies are attacktnc It unceasingly from the other side The official communication given out In Paris last night claims that the Invaders throughout the day continued their efforts of the day before with out achieving any fresh result and declares that the Germans are making vain attempts to move out from Dtx mude along the left bank of the Yser. To Coast, Is Cry of Germans |K Invaders Must Be Utterly Crushed Before Abandonment of Attempt to Reach the Channel. Lfsidon, 1:30 p. me—With Dlxmude their possession the Invaders were today less than fifty miles from Ca lais and much nearer Dunkirk, and the fight they have been putting up In the face of tremendous losses seems to bear out what has been so often said—that they will not abandon this struggle to reach the coast unless they are utterly crushed. The English and French theory Is that the holding of fdxmude is only temporary; that Its history will be much the same as that of other towns which have been taken and re taken In the fighting on the Yser. Here, to the southward below Ypres, the Germans drove the allies from Ijombaertsyag only ip turn to be driven out themselves. READY IN 48 HOURS TO LEAVE MEXICO MTK FOR SETBACK AT DIXMUDF Battle in Flanders Far From Decided, Says Paris Report. Belgians Make Progress on Nieuport-Ostend Road. Paris, 1 a. m.—The battle In Inlan ders is as far as ever from a decision, according to the official communica tions and judged from stories told hy eye-witnesses from the battle front. The Germans have given an em phatic denial of the reports that they were In retreat by carrying Dtxmude, on the YHor, 12 miles north of ypres, and on the road to Dunkirk which the Germans are striving to attain. French bluejackets at Dixmude had held the town against them in the face of fierce attacks for the past week, but were flnully compelled to give way. The allies attempts to drive the Germans out again have thus far failed. Strongly Posted. On the rest of the front as far as the River Rys, the situation, accord ing to latest advices, remains practi cally unchanged. As the principal action laterly has centered to a largo extent around Dixmude the Germans are entitled to claim the advantage, but the French arc strongly posted In the vicinity and the possession of the village so far tips availed them hut little. The setback at Dtxmude, in the opinion expressed here, Is somewhat compensated for by the progress made by the Relglans along the Nieuport- Ostend road If followed up this ad vance apparently Would threaten the German flank. Fresh Forces. Fast and south of Ypres, the Ger mans seem to have found fresh masses of troops to hurl #ito the mur derous fray but the allies seem to he holding their own. The country here is undulating, well wooded and eover ed with a multitude of farms, which are surrounded by large elms. The villages are fpw and small, and moMt of the population Is centered on these farms which sre distant from each other, a* the most from two to three hundred yards. These Innumerable and solidly built brick houses with their walled courtyard and some times with deep ditches make excel lent bases for small detachments and play an Important part In the long battle. The struggle Is taking place among the farms In the direction of th* border towns of Gomlnes, Wer vlck and Menin. ACCEPT 6,000 HORSEB.
