The Minister of Foreign Affairs. Eric

sented by the Danish Foreign Olllce
Thursday regarding better facilities for
Danish shipping in the North Sea, which,
it was alleged, has been hurt seriously
by Great Britain's action In declaring
thoso waters closed to all maritime traf

created the best possible impression, as
It shows an Intention to cause no further
trouble for Denmark.
Scandinavian-American liners will be
permitted to follow their accustomed
routes witn very little cnange, as win
also the Danish boats to the Faroes

The memorial to the British Govern

FORCES OF CZAR
MASS FOR FRESH
MOVE ON GALICIA
Russians Turn Attention to
Austrians, After Driving
Germans in Poland to
Frontiers, With Cracow as
Objective.
LONDON, Nov. 7.
Tho German army of Invasion of Poland
has been forced to general retreat after
sovere losses, both west of the Vistula and
on tho northern frontier, and the Czar's
army Is now In a position to resume a
vigorous offenslvo against tho Austrlnn
forces In southwestern Poland nnd In Ga
llcla, nccordlng to official statements from
Petrogrnd. Russian troops wero with
drawn from tho movoment against Cra
cow three weeks ago, when the Germans
crossed the Polish border and formed a
Junction with the Austrians, capturing
Lodr, Klelce and Sandotntr for use as
bases, and thence advancing to within a
few miles of Warsaw and Ivangorod. Re
pulse here nnd subsequent withdrawal
day by day till tho Kaiser's forces were
forced to tho River Wartho, not many
mlks from the Sllcslan border, has given
tho Russians an opening for an advanco
Into Hast Prussia, as well ns for a re
sumption of tho forward movement on
Cracow by way of Galicla.
MASSING AGAINST AUSTRIANS.
Tho Russians report that, having driven
the Germans back to their border In tho
north and forced their centre to retire
from the Vistula to tho Warthe River,
the Russian Gcnernl Staff has turned Its
attention to tho Austrians, who have so
stubbornly been holding their positions
along tho San River In Galicla.
According to n telegram recolved from
Grand Duko Nicholas, tho Russians have
scored u victory more Important than
any preceding. The Russians say they
have again occupied Jaroslav, north ot
Przemysl, capturing E000 prisoners nnd
much war material.
It Is belloved, however, that tliero will
have to be another big battle on the
AVorthe before tho nrmlcs of Emperor
Nicholas seriously threaten Sllesln.
It Is plain that tho Gallcian front was
left until tho Vistula front had been
cleared, when a proportion of the troops
released hero proceeded to add to th?
fighting front In Galicla, thereby causing
the rotreat of tho Austrians along the
whole front. The Austrlnns will retire
to especially strong fortified positions
resting on Cracow, on tho south nnd
Knllsz on tho north, 70 miles apart. Tho
object ot making nn impregnable stand
here Is of course to prevent tho Russians
nttemptlng to turn tho line of defenses
of Germany along the Oder.
If a successful resistance N maintained
here Germany will bo free to throw the
greater part of tho armies which Invaded
Poland back to tho westein front In an
effort to crush the Anglo-French dofenso.
From Information received, these forces,
in spite of the Polish disasters, will bo
considerable In number and valuable In
quality.
CAMPAIGN IN VRUSSIA.
On the East Prussian front the Ger
mans continue to retire along the wholo
lino the Russians following them up
closely. Tho only point still held by tho
German! Is In the neighborhood of tho
well-known frontier station, Wlrballcn,
where a strongly Intrenched position is
still untaken. but It will naturally have
to be abandoned now that It has been
left Isolated by tho general retirement.
Grand Duke Nicholas, oommander-ln-chtof
of the Russian forces In tho Held,
has sent tho following telegram to Gen
eral Joffre, commander-in-chief of the
French forces, nnd to Lord Kitchener,
Grent Britain's War Secretary:
"Following our successes upon the Vis
tula, a complete victory has Just been
gained by our troops along the wholo
of tho front In Galicla. Our ttratcgical
maneuver has thus been crowned by
what Is uncontestably the greatest suc
cess galnod on our side since the begin
ning of the war. I am most confident
of the speedy nnd entire accomplishment
of our common task, persuaded, as I am,
that decisive victory will bo gained by
the allied armies."

TOKIO, Nov. 7.
All doubt of the futuro of the German
concession of Klao-Chau, the most val
uable portion of tho Shang-Tung penin
sula, should tho allied cause triumph,
was set at rest today. Following tho
official announcement of tho cnpltula
tlon of the fortified city of Tslng-Tau,
the chief position In tho concession, Vice
MInlstor of tho Nnvy Suzuki said:
"For tho presont Jnpon must ad
minister tho concession. When peaco
from tho Kuropoan war Is declared
then Jnpan will tako up with China
tho transfer of the concession back to
her.
This statement was Interpreted as defi
nitely disposing ot tho rumor that Jnpan,
because It has cost her not less than 2000
men, three torpedoboat destroyers und
one old cruiser, would demand that China
glvo her tttlo to tho captured territory.
The official reports of tho tnklng of the
Gorman fortified position doscrlbo tho
work of tho Japoneso soldiers and ma
rines as of tho utmost brilliancy.
With General Yamada nt tho head of a
picked column, tho central fort was taken
by assault. While siege guns kept up a
continuous bombardment, hammering
holes In the walls, tho column, made up
of Infantry nnd cnglncors, slipped upon
tho fort. Finally, on Blgnal, they charged
and gained cntranco, taking the fort gar
rison of more than 200 men.
With this fort In their possession, the
result was no longer In doubt. Its guns
commandod tho city and tho other forts,
and there was no Burprlso when, ot day
light, a white Hag nppoarcd on the
weather observation tower. Immediately
the bombardment ended.
Tho Gorman garrison, made up chiefly
of resorvlsts who reported to Governor
Meycr-Waldeclc when the war began, has
maintained a stubborn defense for 65
days.
Tho following official announcement waa
made by the Japanese War Office:
Following a scries of furious attack?
by land, sea and air, tho German fort
ress at Tslng-Tao surrendered this
morning. A white flag was raised upon
the weather observation bureau about
7 o'clock and we suspended firing. An
officer was sent forward with a white
flag and ho was Informed by a mes
senger from the German commander
that tho dofenders wero willing to sur
render. He was Informed that the sur
render would havo to bo unconditional
and to this he agreed.
Examination of Tslng-Tao shows
that the city suffered severely from
our lire. Shells from our land ar
tillery, our warships and our aero
planes shattered a great part of tho
city. Conditions In the forts were
very bad. Forts Bismarck, Moltke and
litis wero badly damaged. The Eng
lish forces, co-operating with the Jap
anese, deserve much credit for their
bravory In action.
