Oct. 28.—The Germans have Undertaken a general offensive •long the line extending from • the mouth of the river Yser on the North aea to the river Meuse and while they have forced the allies to give ground in some places they them selves have lost position in.others. This, briefly, is what is gathered from tonight's official French and German reports on the war. Today’s German attack was par ticularly severe in the west, where their right wing, strongly reinforc ed. attempted an advance against the Belgians holding the allies’ ex treme left. This left rests on the coast and is supported by English and French warships and by Anglo- French troops, which form a front extending from a point somewhere in the vicinity of Dixmude south ward to Labasae canal. Both aides claim successes, but * the French alone admit that in places they have fallen back. LiaCs Hwing and Sway.
