AMSTERDAM, vla London, Oct. 23.

-The Telegraph's Sluts correspon- dent reports that the bombardment of Ostend and Nieuport is becoming still heavier. ` ,

“ The shells of the Allies.” the car-

respondent says. “ are raining down upon the Germans, and causing ter- rible destruction. The battleflelds are covered with bodies. but fresh German troops continue to arrive. Since morning the Germans have retreated slightly.

“A French squadron is supporting

the English warships, which can only be reached with dlfllculty by the Ger- man gunners.

“The German cavalry is useless,

and the men and horses alike are being moved down.

“The Allies positions are strongly

fortified by inundatlons of terriitory and entrenchments. The Allies, in addition to Ostend and Nieuport, are also firing in the direction of Jabbeke, about seven miles south~west of Bruges, in order to destroy the rall-

lway line between Ostend and Bruges. All the Ostend hotels are filled with wounded.

The Germans _are firing from

Mariakerke and Middelkerke; tile French from Nieuport. and the English _from their \varships. English aviators ‘directed the fire of the Allies on the 'German positions. ._

“The French and Belglans are per-

sistently resisting the efforts of the Germans to cross the River Yser. The dykes of this river have been cut and the banks at high tide are flooded for considerable distances. Continual rains have made the land very .5WamDY. and the Germans, suffering yfrom heavy losses, cannot advance. Large numbers of their wounded ar- rived at Bruges and Ostend Wednes- day. and a body of Germans came | from Ghent to assist lu their removal. [A further consignment of new guns 'for the shelling of British worships ,has arrived at Ostend. Zcebrugge is

‘still occupied by German marines."

ENIEE IIE BENMAN EENENAL SIAEE IS IIIING

LONDON, Oct. 23.-A private letter

received in Amsterdam from a high official in Berlin says Lieutenant- General Count Helmuth Von Moltke, Chief of the German General Staff, is dying, according to the Exchange '1`elegraph’s Amsterdam corespondcnt.

"Everything," the correspondent

adds, “is being done to keep the news secret. General Von Moitke is suffer- ing from all affection of the liver. The cure he was undergoing was ln- terrupted in July by the German mobilisation. He has now had to leave Emperor Wllllsm's’ headquarters, General Von. Falkenhayn, the Prussian Minister of War, being left in charge.

" Many German officers ascribe the

check to the German advance to the forced' 'retirement of General Von Moltke."

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 21.-Pro-

fcssor Hugo Munsterberg has with- drawn his resignation from the chair of Psycliology at Harvard University. “ai thc request of the authorities," uccorlliilg to un unnouucenient made to-niglit.

The resignation was submitted re-

cently after Professor Munsterberg had learned that the university had re- Iceived a communication from Major Clarence Wiener of London, threaten- ing to withhold a legacy of ten million dollars to Harvard unless the profes- sor were dismissed. According to in- formation given out regarding Major Wi`encr's communication it is said that lie had already provided in his will for such :l legacy, and had nddcd ii cancelling ciausc to take effect if his wishes regarding Professor Mun- sierborg were disregarded. ills ob- jection to the liend of the university’s psychological department was 'based .on the lattcr’s~pro-Gerniun utterances since the opening of the European \\'I\i`.

Th-_~. aunoiiiiccinent of the withdraw-

al of the rcsignutioii appeared in iho columns of the Harvard Alumni Billie- lln, und it was understood thai. the Builetin's announceineut would be the only thing approaching an official statement.

The Bulletin says cditorlaily that

thc university cannot afford to admit “any suggestion that it would be will- ing to accept money to abridge free speech to remove a professor, or to accept his resignation."

SUMMER! 0F THE SITUATION

LONDON, Oct. 23.-The Germans

have undertaken a general offensive movement along the line extending

from the _mouth of the River Yser on the North Sea to the River Meuse, and while they have compelled the Allies to give ground in some places they themselves have lost positions in others. This is gathered from official reports coming from French and German headquarters.

The Germans’ attack to-day was

particularly severe in the west, whore their right wing was strongly rein- forced by fresh troops and attempted an advance against the Beigians hold- ing the Allies' extreme left. This left rests on the coast, supported by English and,Frencli warships and Anglo--Frencli troops, which form the front from aipoinl. somewhere in the vicinity of LjDixmude, southward to Labassee Cauhl.

Both sides claim successes, but the

French alone admit that in places they have been compelled to fall back. Generally, however, there is little or no change in the situation, the swing- ing and swaying of the lines being the same as for weeks.

Although it is two months since the

Allies concentrated on the Franco- Belgian frontier to oppose the German advance, and the invaders have been to Paris and back in the iiitervai, no decisive battle has yet been foilglit. Neither side has destroyed or partially destroyed all army. Even the Belgian army escaped almost intact when their country was overrun by Germans. The same can be said of the operations in the east, where the armies of Russia and Germany and Austria are fighting, except in the case of Lieutenniit-`G`enerai 'Sanisonofl’, the Russian commander, whose army was partially destroyed by the Germans in the present battle on the River Vistula, the Russians scored a victory. driving the Germans back and captur- ing inauy prisoners, gulls and ammuni- tion. But thc defeated army is still ill being. and when it gets back to a selected position il can ciilreiicli ii.- sclf and start another siege buttlc. such as occurred oil thc River Aisiic in France.

Soutliward of Piiica thc Germans

still hold the River Vistula, except in front of the fortress at lvangorrli, where they were drivcn back by attacks from the strongliolds.

The Austrian army, so often de-

scribed as routed and destroyed, has sprung into life again and is attack-

trians find un' impenetrable barrier at River San.

The Germans claim a victory over

the Russians west of Augustowo and Suwollti.

'l`lio iight of yesierlluy shows that

iho Gorinuiis are attempting nnolhcr attack froiu East Prussia into thc

government of Groduo to the east oi' Suwalkl, doubtless with the object of compelling tho Russians to rciiiforce their army in that region. -

All these movements, however, have

brought the belligeronts no nearer to their goals, which cniiiiot lic attained until an army is destroyed or one or another of llic contending forces bo- comes too exhausted to fight.

Tile Admiralty issued a report which

says the Gorman cruiser Karlsruhe has captured thirteen British steaniers in the Atlantic.

' PARIS OFFICIAL.

PARIS. Oct. 23.-Official--To-iiight

-~on our left wing action continues with great violence, notably around Arras, Laiiassee and Armenticres. The Allies have lost some ground at some points around Lahassee, but have won some at the east of Armon- tieres. Generally speaking, on this part of the front the situation remains the same. To north of the Aisne our artillery destroyed 3 German batteries.
