COPENHAGEN, Oct. 11.-More than 3,000 sailors and several members of the Reichstag were involved in the mutiny in the German navy which developed late in August, according to information reaching here from a German naval port. The leaders were plotting revolution when the outbreak was checked by loyal German soldiers and sailors. Most of the warships affected were lying at Wilhelmshaven when the uprising took place. Causes Leading to Mutiny. Latest reports give the following causes as the chief ones leading up to the mutiny. 1. Influence exerted by the success of the successful revolt in Russia which inspired the men to a demand for "naval committee[[?]] such as now exist in the Russian fleet. 2. Insufficient food. 3. Low morale caused by long inactivity. Whether there was any connection in the outbreak in the navy and the mutinous uprising among the German soldiers on the Western front, is unknown, --- HEAVY FIGHTING IS RAGING IN BELGIUM --- French and British Troops Strive Desperately [[?]] Drive Germans From [[?]] houlst Forest. --- By International News Service. LON[[?]] 1.-Heavy fighting has been taking place at two wid[[?]] ted points on the western front during the past 24 hours with the French engaged at both places. On the West Flanders front the French extended their gains, although the British were compelled to give ground under violent German counter attacks over a wide front. Both French and British troops are engaged in a desperate effort to drive the Germans from Houthoulst forest, in Belgium, the former attacking from the west and the latter from the south. This is a piece of high wooded ground of great strategic importance. The fighting continues amid storms of ruins and bursts of gun fire. At Verdun the German Crown Prince suddenly resumed his assaults on the right bank of the Meuse River, gaining a foothold in first line French trenches near Chause forest. Fighting activity is on the increase on the Italian front, but the Italian offensive has reached an exceedingly difficult stage. Winter weather has set in and already many of the mountain passes are choked with deep snow. Dispatches from Rome today told of strong Astro-Hungarian attacks on the Carso plateau, but the operations around Monte Candanile, northeast of Gorizia, are meeting with serious obstacles. --- GERMAN ATTEMPT TO RETAKE CAPTURED GROUND FRUSTRATED By Associated Press.
