HERMANS CHEER CZAR
ON FIELD HOSPITAL VISIT
Petrograd, Nov. 17.—During a fort
night s sojourn with his armies in the
field, the C7.ar spoke to thousands of
wounded soldiers in the field hospitals.
His "Majesty also visited many wounded

wounds and were returning to their re
spective regiments.

them, asking where and how they had
been wounded. It appeared that thev

tiring line again as soon as possible. It
was ascertained, incidentally, t'hat 83
per cent, of those wounded in the early
stages of the campaign have now re
turned to the ranks.

EMSIM
Are Beginning to Show
Effects of the Past
Month's Struggle in
Flanders
ALLIES' SUCCESS
PREDICTED SOON
Staff Officer of Anglo-French Forces
Says That Within Another Month
Germans Will Be Driven From the
Soil of France
Paris, Nov. 17, 7 A. M.—The Qer
nians, in the opinion of officers at the
front, are beginning to show signs of
the terrific strain they have undergone
for a month past in Flanders and these
officers expect that General Joffre's
plan of holding the line and permitting
the German host to wear itself out in
vain 'but costly assaults will soon bear
fruit.
A staff officer, writing from the
battle line, even goes so l'ar as to pre
dict that within another mouth the al
lies will be in » position to drive the
enemy from French soil. The writer,
however, admits that he is by nature
an optimist.
Details of Dixmude Fighting
Some details of the taking of Dix
mude, which the Germans still hold,
but which thus far has brought them
no advantage, have reached here. The
capture of the town it appears was due
to a mistake on the part of a French
detachment.
When the fighting started t'he Bel
gians were entrenched north of the
city, protecting the Keven road. To
their right, turned toward the west in
the direction of Essen were the Sene
galese riflemen. To the south the
French bulejackets occupied the most
exposed position ou t'he Clerken road.
The enemy opened a terrific bombard
ment at 5 a. ni. on Tuesday last during
which the admiral who was in com
mand of the sailors and who was mak
ing a reconnaisance, just missed being
hit by the fragment of a shell.
Firing on the Trenches
The men waited patiently in the
trenches. Toward 1 p. m. the cannon
ading slackened and the dense columns
of German infantry opened fire on the
trenches. One column threatened to
turn the Belgians, who overpowered by
numbers retired on the outskirts of the
city. They were followed by the Sen
egalese who thought that an order for
a general retreat had been given. This
movement uncovered the blue jackets
who, however, continued to hold their
ground.
While part of the enemy advanced
on Dixmude by the Essen and Keven
roads left open to them, the rest came
at double quick for the sailors. Faced
by the Prussian guard they were in
danger of being surrounded! Undaunt
ed, however, they dashed with the bay
onet upon the Germans but were over
whelmed by numbers and beaten back
to the trenches. Asked to surrender
they replied in the words credited to
Heneral Cambroone at Waterloo when
in simitar circumstances lie said: "The
guard dies but never surrenders."
Allies Obliged to Retire
For several hours they held off the
Germans who were four times as nu
merous. charging their ranks every
time thev came too near.
Towards evening they were obliged
to retire since their only means of re
tieat, the bridge connecting the city
with the country, was about destroved.
They crossed the bridge under an aval
anche of bullets with such magnificent
heroism that the Prussians officers aft
erward greatly expressed tlfeir admira
tion.
The fighting was resumed with ter
rific violence in the streets, the blue
jackets defending each heap of rubbish
that had been a house, hut finallv re
treating across the Yser.
SUCCESSES OfIuSSIfINS
AS SEEN THROUGH LENS OF
CZAR'S GENERAL STAFF
I'etrograd, Nov. 16.—A statement
received from the general staff to-dav
says:
' 'After our successful fighting in Oc
tober along the roads to Warsaw and
I vangorod the enemy 'began retreating
toward his frontier, destroying the
roads arid railroads. He set on lire
the railroad stations and freight sheds, !
tore up switches and destroyed the res- '
eryoirs and water pipes. At some
points on the railroad he blew up the
rails and their fastenings, thus render
ing necessary the use of new rails when
repairing the tracks.
"In addition, all bridges and aque
ducts, even the smallest, were damaged
as to make a passage impossible. The
telegraph poles were felled, wires cut
and insulators destroyed. All this dam
age impeded our advance and aided the
eneAj on the left bank of the Vistula
to get outside our field of action and to
get near his territory.
"Taking advantage of this and theii>
complete railway system, the Germans
rapidly began to send their troops to
the nort'h in order to accumulate impor
tant forces against our wing. Their
concentration in that region was cov
ered by a large body of cavalry
brought from the west and partly sup
ported by the Austrian cavalry.
"Towards the middle of November
the German offensive was renewed be
tween the Vistula and Warthe rivers.
This resulted in fighting which is still
going on on the front of Plock, Lent
cbitsa and Oureioff.
"In eastern Prussia, in the region of
Btalluponenen, the enemy tried by
means of separate bodies of troops to
adopt the offensive, l>ut he failed and
retreated.
"In tJhe region of Soldau and Nei
denburg the ibattle continues. We main
tain our offensive toward Cracow and
the front of Galicia.
''The attempts of the Austrians to
make a stand on our road have been
vain. In the fighting ~of November 13
we caiptured 10 officers and about 1,000
soldiers.''

prong, 125 pound buek invaded the
garden of his father in Menallen town
ship yesterday morning Mervin Rice, of

Rice place the deer had to travel for
about two miles from the mountains, a
part of the time running across open
fields.

Tax on Insurance
Carlisle, Nov. 17. —Carlisle to-day

is kuown officially as the Emergency
Relief Stamp Tax, will be charged on
all fire insurance policies both renew
als and new.
This tax is one-half of one per cent,

fect of the new law can be best seen
when it is estimated that for every
SI,OOO of insurance, $5 addition will
be charged.

Disease of Unknown Character Fatal to
Mountain Animals
Washington, D. d., Nov. 17.—The De
partment of Agriculture has undertaken
the investigation of a serious disease
which is affecting the Rocky Moun
tain twg'liorn sheep and the mountain
goats and is re'ported as existing on the
Lemhi national forest in Idaho.
The forest officers think t.hiiit it is
the same disease that caused the moun
tain sheep to die in great num'bcrs
during 1882-3. The nature of the dis
ease is not known, though it results
fatally and sheep affected with it seem
to have rough and mangy coats and
are very much emaciated. Three 'bureaus
of the department are engaged in the
study—the biological survey, (bureau of
animal industry and the forest service.
A competent veterinarian l»as already
gone to Idaho to start the work.

SNAKES ON DINNER TABLE
Novel Banquet in Honor of Curatoi
of Bronx Zoo
Philadelphia, Nov. 17. —A score o<
writhing snakes, one of thorn more thau
five feet long, created terror among a
quantity of supper guests at Cafe
I/Aiglon, Fifteenth and Chestnut
streets. The occasion was a '' snake''
dinner, given for Dr. Raymond L. Dit
mars, curator of the Bronz Zoo, who
this week is delivering a series of mo
tion picture lectures at the Academy of
Music. The snakes were placed upon
the dinner table in glass receptacles,
from which they could easily have es
caped. When they appeared, several
women at near-by tables, not knowing
that they were tame, hastily departed.
But the snakes were not alone. There
was a large jar ot'.froga and toads of
many strange varieties, that kept the
cafe frequenters interested with an un
dertone of croakings. And the centre of
the table was occupied by a fern, filled l
with chirping insects, known through
out Japan, whence they came, as "walk
ing sticks."
The menu was arranged in keeping
with the decorations. There .were, of
course, eels and frogs' legs. There wa<
a "Bronx Zoo salad," which was full
of mystery, even to the guests, becatisa
the ingredients were not revealed. Bud
the most popular dish of all were porcu
pine steak. Among the guests were Mis*
Mizzi Hajos, of the "Kari" company;
Miss Hazel Dawn and Mr. and Mrs. VV,
tH. Magoftin.
