Reinforcements Coming From India and England Render Valuable Aid. London. Oct. 1.-The battle of tho Alane now nearing thc end of its third week, soon will outstrip in respect to time the great contest fought at Mukden nearly ten years ago, but still no decisive result has been achieved The French officiai communication issued late today, condensed Into about thirty words, was one of the shortest given to the public since the war began, lt records that progress lias boen made by both right and left wings of the allied armies, but gives no detail:? or the extent of the pro gress between the lines, , Military experts believe the great claws, as they have been described continue to open and clutch at Lag outspread wings of the German army, particularly the right, which forms the upright portion of the L. and now bas its back to the east, fighting with desperation to prevent the French loft from encircling or smashing it along most of ttie front, estimated at ISO miles in length. Tho artillery has played by far the most important, part in the struggle, but on tho Gorman right lighter guns, cavalry, and Infanry are, doing most of the fighting with a stubbornest and dla regard of life that - people so orten haye said in recent years mod ern, soldiers never would display. There have been unprecedented ar tillery duels between the Rivers Oise rid Aisne and between the Ois; and the Somme,1 which haye taken a heavy toll of the opposing armies, followed by cavalry and. infantry - uarges in .which first one and then the other side would gain or bo compelled to glvo' ground. Still they have bold on, the German wing being extended farther north ward as the French made another move to work around it. With an un United supply of troops this might gu" on for an Indefinite period, but with t ie torces'at the disposal cf the two starrs the operations soon must conn; to an end. Tho Gunnan official account says the Gormans i have. defeated the French north and south of Alber}. This doubtless refers to an engage ment in whu-.h the French, admit, they j Buttered a temporary reversvhut Ist-L or regained the .greuV ^night's "rus^ 1 I'??'! lt* I \'Ml "I"/'1 I-" 11 had 1)0011' made indicates ?that they have., pene trated norh of Albert Te fort?

The statement last night that he French had occupied Seicheprey and rupt de Mad, Suggested that this al ready had been accomplished, but it has not heep officially announced Along the "extended front ci, ' the Oise to the Mf?is*, except thia fighting mentioned ott the winga, nothing has happened'*'that the ifYench stiff con siders, worthy of mention.

Med positions. Both sides appear confident. The Germans bringing up reinforcements j to meet the attempts to outflank (hem in what appears to bo almost im- | pregnable positions and are fighting : sternly. The allies, on the other hand, place their nopes in the arrival of reinforcements on their left and the possibility of finding a weak spot in the German front. Arrival of Indian Troops. The Indian troops should now bc with the British army, the official bu- ' reau having today permitted thc pub-, Ucation of the fact that they landed in Frat! a last Friday. Of course, it ? it not known where the Indian troops 1 are going, but it is believed the left ' wing will be stiffened by them. Some1 of the territorials also have reached ' Field Marshal French. These include the London Scottish, one of the best, of England's volunteer regiments, re cruited from Scotchmen in London. They have reached a high state of cf- ( lie icu cy and in their ranks are some of the besU marksmen in tho empire. I Among them are a number of men who competed with the United States for - i tb J Palma trophy a few years ago. j A call has been issued for British < railway men to go to France and as-!1 Bist in working the railroads there, j, Belgian Again Attacked. ( With the German attack on the \ outer fortifications on Tntwerp, again j belgium has.become the scene of per-'. Ions operettas. The invaders, so far, ] i have confined their attack to the,' forts protecting- the river crossings.' between Malines and ' Antwerp. A ' ?

They declare the ' forts Btopped faring as a ruse and that when the Berman field artillery approached'to lake them they reopened lire doclmi- j natlng. the Germans.
