GERMANS' ATTEMPT TO REACH STRAITS OF DOVER IS HALTED TEMPORARILY Paris Reports Situation Along Yser as Far as Dixmude as "Comparatively Fighting Is Now Turning Southward; Fall of Mighty German Fortress at Tsing Tau Occupies Attention of Military Authorities in Europe Today The German attempt to reach the traits of Dover, prosecuted with such reckless abandon and courage as to wring praise from even the foe, appeared to day to have relaxed temporarily. Along the now famous Yser, from the sands of the North Sea coast to the ruined town of Dixmude, the situation to day, in the unemotional language of the French war office, was "relatively quiet." The fighting there has all but ceased and the tide of battle has rolled southward, leaving behind it the countless dead whose torn bodies are stretched thickly over many a held. South of Ypres, on the line extending down over the French border to Arras, the Germans are preparing another furious onslaught, spurred on by their emperor. The main battle there, upon which depends so much for the Germans and allies alike, has not yet begun.

Pending decisive development on any of the European fields of battle, the fall of Tsing Tau held first place in the attention of military men today. Official reports from Tokio show that it was not without desperate resistance that the German garrison, vastly outnumbered by British and Japanese, gave up the light. For days the German forces had been subjected to a withering fire from land and sea. At last the central fort fell before the impetuous attack of the Japanese, whose bravery, says Tokio, rivaled that displayed in the historic charges on Port Arthur. "Suddenly," says the official report from Tokio, "the flag of surrender ran up in the morning breeze on the weather bureau mount, towering above the sea and land.

Notwithstanding the Russian rlulms to an overwhelming success In the Eust, there Is nothing to show that the German and Austrian forces have met great disaster, and although they were compelled to retreat, they apparently were able to full back upon strongly fortified positions selected In advance. Russia, in an olliclal statement, makes the claim that the resistance ot the enemy hus been broken after lighting of several weeks along a front of 350 miles. This campaign has now been closed, in the opinion of the Russian military authorities, who say that a new period of the war will Inaugurated.

Of the fighting on land and sea brought about by Turkey's entranct Into the war little was learned to day. Turkish officials at Smyrna are said to have bade further seizures of vessels of hostile countries and the Russian general staff in Caucasia reports that the Turkish forces which attempted an offensive movement have been driven back with heavy losses. Paris suggests that the Germans are making an important change in their military tactics. Mass formation is said to have been abandoned in the lighting in Flanders, infantrymen attacking in open order and seeking all available cover.
