London, October 6:?The sixtythird day of the great European war saw a repetition of what the peoples of all the countries concerned have forced themselves to expect for an indefinite period?no decisive con^flict on land or sea. W Berlin announced nothing in the way of German claims to progress or reserves. From Petrograd came what has been asserted without interruption for weeks?consistent claims of progress for Russian arms. From Paris was issued the usual ' communications today and tonight interpreting the situation along the battle line of the western theatre of war in the light of those opposing im-ocinn Thp treneral UCI man iut uuiv4., 0 ^Kuation was said to remain unchanged. Above all stood out the presence of what was described as large masses of German cavalry near Lille, hardly ten minutes from the Belgian frontier, as the crow flies, and behind them German forces moving on a line between Tourcoing and Armentieres, the latter point right at the Belgian border, k / At the same time the official comHnunications make it plain that the Pallies have not been idle and have been extending their line on the left wing more and more widely. Blow for blow evidently is being dealt around Arras, the scene of sanguin ary fighting recently. Tonight's Paris communication also indicated a terriffic battle north of the Oise. The allies also maintain they have repulsed the enemy near Lassigny, upon which the Germans made a violent attack. At Soissons, where the allies recently cleared the German trenches, fc^cording to the announcement,they ^iave pressed their advantage by making a slight advance. Noyon forms the elbow from which the allied line sweeps eastward. Some advance by the allies also is reported at Berry-au-Kac. From Ant' erp tonight came a report that the Germans were preparing to bombard the city and that the burgomaster had been informed of their plans. People wishing to leave were advised to do ,so at once. The British press takes occasion to emphasize that while the battle jjL .' J;.

Petrograd official statements con| tinue to repeat in a general way what has been accepted here as a fact for days?that the German army along the East Prussian fron: tier has been routed more or less and cut to pieces, but as this is only. a small portion of the front, it is ex-1 ceedingly hard to get anything like a clear-cut perspective of the conflict. | What purports to be an official I rKonatnlt fonm Vipnnn insists in uio^/nvvii &Mvti< ? ? broad terms that the condition of the German and Austrian armies, both in Poland and Galicia, is favorable and that in attempting to breast the Carpathians at Uzsok Pass the Russians have been beaten. "Breasting the Carpathians and pouring on to the plains of Hungary" by the Muscovites has been so often referred to that it is becoming trite, and the fact remains that, generally speaking, aside from the defeat of Rennenkatnpf's army in the early stages of the war in Poland, his revenge by a crushing return, and steady advance of the Russians through Galicia, there has been nothing from the East to stand out in the nature of a clearly defined conflict like the battle of the Aisne. Today's retrograa omciai scaie| ment deals entirely with the German stand on the East Prussian frontier, making no mention of the situation either in Galicia or Hungary. The much-heralded battle of Cracow, which, it seems, all the correspondents anticipated, yet has to be recorded as a matter of history. From Budapest?not often heard from as a source of war news? came a dispatch saying that, though no battles in Hungary had been decided yet, the invaders were being repulsed. Whether it can be accepted as true or not, a Bordeaux special dispatch reports a general snaKeup m tne German army command following, but not necessarily the result of the reported removal of Gen Von Moltke as chief of the general staff. The most important of the changes is the shifting of Gen Hindenburg from East Prussia to assume command at Cracow. He is succeeded in the field, where he scored so brilliantly over the Russians, by Gen Curt Von Morgen.

President Poincare's visit to the front is confirmed through a telegram he sent to King George, saying he had visited Field Marshal French at British headquarters. To the long series of national denials this war has brought is a statement issued in behalf of the British Government tonight denying the German contention that Great Britain had stored ammunition at Maubeuge prior to the outbreak of the war, thus indicating an intention to violate Belgian neutrality.?News and Courier.
