The nrtllli r duel which Is proceeding nlong tho banks of the canal oT La Ilasseo Is said to bo one of the most terrific In tho history of modern warfare. The big guns aro In action day and night. Determined attacks are being dlrcctei against tho line of tho French and Urltlslt around Alx-La-Nnulctte, a vlllano at the foot of a chain of wooded hills com manding the road from Arras to Uelhune. The village has been nearly wiped out by the German shells. Near Lons, Vlmy and Don tho roar of artillery Is Incessant. It would appear from tho number of big guns that the Germans have transported to that region that they hope to turn the battle of tho North Into tliolr favor iitn ennnon. The French nrtlllory Is outnumbered, but tho German Infantry and cavalry aro In less forco than those of tho Allies. BRITISH STAND FIIIM. "The British soldiers on tho lino from Ypres to the Lys are showing an ob stinacy worthy of Waterloo," declared one wounded officer from the front. Tho Indian troops, who are lighting on tho northern lino, are winning plaudits by their valor, but they havo lost heavily. But, whllo tho Allies aro los ing heavily, tho German losses aro more severe. Every day roporta aro received of GOO being killed In a night attack, of 4000 railing In an attempt to laKc n Brltlih trench In close formation. It Is tho same story overy clay; the talo of tcrrlblo German losses duo to their own bravery or tho sacrifices of their olllcers.

East of Brus sels behind the lines of Iron and con crete, the Germans will attempt to re cuperate while, they hope, the Allies will exhaust themselves In repeated attacks. "We must go back, but nevertheless wo shall conquer," Is the statement maOo by a German officer In Belgium, according to a correspondent of the Telcgraaf at Sanvancent. The Germans, says the correspondent, are persistently reported as retreating to ward Antwerp, and troops stationed at Salzaeto are reported to have been trans ferred by transport to the left bank of the Terneuz-on-Ghent Canal. British patrols reached a point three miles from Bruges last Saturday. German aviators and the wounding of six others by hostile airmen. Discussing the situation In Belgium and France, Major Moraht, military corre spondent of the Tageblatt, says that the latest Information shows that an attack on a largo scale along the coast against Dunkirk H impracticable, but declares that the situation Is equally hopeless for the Allies' left, which has repeatedly tried to force the Germans back upon Antwerp and render the position between Lille and Arras untenable. The Germans, he adds, are now ahle to use tho troops from tho Yser district elsewhere, and need only small forces to check any enterprise along the dunes, artillery preparations between the Ostend Holland frontier being sufficient to re pulse any attempts to debark an expedi tion against the German rear. A decisive struggle on this wing, he continues, is progressing around Ypres, which is now enveloped from the east, south and southwest, and he declares that the Allies' retirement Is practicable only in northerly or westerly directions, and that an attempt to break through the strong forces in the region of Lille would be fruitless. The Allies will have held Ypres to no avail If the German advance on the front between La Bassee and Ar ras continues. are bombarding the State Department with demands to know how far the Brit ish Government is going in Its Interfer ence with such shipments. The seizure of the cargo of the American liner Kroon land and the holding up of two Italian vessels, with a similar cargo, at Gibral tar, aro cited by the protestanta as cases In point. All three vessels, it has been previously announced, were released by the British, although the Kroonland'a cargo was held. The British, it la understood, are com vinced the copper shipments are destined for tha Krupp Ouu Works, in Germany, The fact that they are billed to Italy, a neutral country, is said not to be sum dent guarantee that they will not be trans-shipped. .TIS A FEAT Style Supreme $512 MHa WiMSto t -fanw, tes Wi" ' Mil I Ml I II 1 1 I II II.. .ii.

TRIPOLI MENACED BY TURKS; ITALY TO PROTEST TO BERLIN Garrison Forces Ordered Back to North Africa Fol lowing Arab Attacks. General Revolt Feared. ROME, Nov. 9. News from Tripoli that Arabs, aroused by the Turkish invasion of Egypt, havo attacked Italian supply columns will lead to a demand upon Berlin by Baron Son nlno. Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Premier Salundra that Turkish aggres sion In Italy's North African possessions Bhall cease. The protest will be addressed to Germany because of the Kaiser's re cent promise that hla new ally will not Invade the Italian possessions In Africa. Governor General Emegllo, of Cyren alca, has sent an urgent demand for more troops, in response to which new forces are being sent to tho garrisons from which soldiers wero brought but two months ago In the belief that the new North African possession was under control. It is believed hero that Turkey will force a crisis In Italy by aggression In the tatter's colony.

That such an issue would be welcomed by the Allies 1b recognized. Whether it would mean the declaration of a "state of war" against Turkey or the Joining of Italy with the allied armies against Germany will depend upon the policy of the new cabinet, which Is still a matter of doubt.

RUSSIAN VICTORY MENACE TO ALLIES, DECLARES EXPERT Purpose to Move on Constantinople Will Release Huge German Force on French and British West, Says Analyst. By J. W. T. MASON NEW YORK, Nov. 9,-The cryptic an nouncement of tho Grand Duke Nicholas nt tho end of last week that Russia had won "tho most Important victory of the war" In Gallcia nnd Polatd Is now followed by tho appearance of a further extract from Ills Highness' state ment which must excite unoaslness among tho western Allies. Tho Grand Duko declares that this most Important victory of tho campaign "por mlts our troops to turn to other taskB, tho Inception of which opens a new penoa or war." Theso "othor tasks" must mean some thing else than tho Russian march on Berlin, which was the original task set tho Russian armies In the allied plan of operations. Turkey's entrance into wie war wouia provwo Russia with a new task if It desired to accept it, while tho easier rood to VIonna than to Borlln makes still another task possible, It Russia decides tho time has como for placing her own exclusive interests above tho common Interests. of all tho Allies. Tho Czar Is understood to havo arrived at the field headquarters of the Grand Duko Nicholas, and he doubtless Is ac companied by hla closest advisers. The statement of tho Grand Duke about "othor tasks" Is not n military announce ment at all, but is a declaration of state policy. "What It means cannot at present be Interpreted with certainty, but the probablo inferenco makes uncomfortable reading for Russia's western supporters. It seemi if tho Car and his advisers hnvo agreed that the temptation to march on Constantinople must not be resisted, and "new tasks" In Asia Minor must receive the chief attention of the Rus sian General Staff. This is a mora prob ablo assumption than that a march on Vienna Is hclng planned as a new task. Russia seems to bo raying- to Its Atltos that having Just won the most Important victory of the war it haa done the chief of the work assigned to It, and hereafter the western Allies must look more to their own might for victory. Such a declaration by Russia would mean that the Slav march on Berlin has been abandoned for the march on Con stantinople. It does not follow from this that Russia Intends to abandon the campaign nlong the German frontier. To do so would permit the Germans to overrun Poland. But there seems little doubt that Russia Is arranging to divide its offensive strength and to use part of It for tho Asia Minor campaign. Such a change in Russian strategy will allow Germany to use most of Its men against the Anglo-French and the Belgian armies, while at the same time preventing a Russian invasion from penetrating far into the Eastern Prussian provinces. The Allies undoubtedly are exerting pressure on the Czar to Induce him to fallow out the original plan of cam paign. It Is necessary, however, that much delicacy be used, for the Allies cannot, at any cost, afford to see the Kaiser's former hypnotic Influence over the Czar return. The situation is a grave one from the Allies' standpoint. If the Czar insists on going ahead with "the other tasks," Germany's objective In persuading Tur key to enter the war will be realized. 825,000,000 PARIS BONDS PARIS, Nov. 9, The city of Paris has been authorized by the French Govern ment to Issue bonds to the amount of 1S,000,OCO francs (JS.OOO.OOO), redeemable In a year and bearing interest not ex ceeding 5 per cent.

Nows of a brilliant victory on tho Austrian boundary comes from high nuthority. It Is tho greatest success of tho war, tho Russian staff declares. Tho combined German and Austrian nrmles havo been dealt staggering blows along their whole lino of communication, which Is of vital Importance. It Is pos sible this battlo will havo its effect on the lines of tho Allies in Franco and Bel glum. Whether this will mean activity of an oirensive nature on tho other side of the theatre of war I do not pretend to say. At no ttmo havo conditions been mora fnvorablo to tho Allies than they are to day on this side. The Germans are fall ing back In East Prussia, leaving without opposition positions that had been strong ly fortified. Tho Russians have crossed tho frontier at several points, mooting with no resistance worthy of thn namo except at Wlrballcn, on the Gumblnnen Koenlgsberg Railway. More Important has been the complete breakdown of tho German campaign in Poland, where the enemy counted confi dently on n march of a triumphal naturo They have been bitterly disillusioned In the matter of loyalty of the ancient king dom. Instead of being welcomed as lib erators tho Germans found themselves everywhere opposed as Invaders. But even more disconcerting than this was tho skilful dispositions of tho Rus sians. When all the details of the opera tions of the Russian forces in Poland are known, Grand Duko Nicholas Nlcolale vltch will be hailed as one of tho greatest strategists of the period. The sweep of the Germans across Po land during the first weeks of October seemed a march of an irresistible army. The banks of the Vistula were chosen as tho battle area. Along a front of 350 miles the Russian divisions assembled, forming a solid human wall that topped the banks of the Vistula. Against this wall the flower of tho German forces dashed In vain. A desperate struggle raged for IS days while the Issue was In doubt The Ger mans and Austrlans had staked all on the result of this one contest. At the outset the enemy Beemed to achieve Boms success. His guns wero heard In War saw. It was part of the Russian plan to abandon the capital If such tactics would bring the German fish further into the net being spread for him. As Napo leon had been lured to Moscow, so would the Crown Prlnoo and his cohorts be tempted to Warsaw. Poland is for the most part a roadless desert waste.

RUSSIAN TROOPS " GAIN A FOOTHOLD ON SILESIAN SOIL Dash Into Posen Marks First Advance From East Into Kaiser's Territory East Prussia Also Invaded. PETROGRAD, Nov. 9. The Czar's forces havo penetrated Into Silesia, as tho result of their advanco tho past week by which tho German nrmy retreating from tho Vistula was pushed nearly back to lt own frontiers nnd separated near tho ccntro by a wedgo-llko drive. Russian cavalry has penetrated into tho Province tff I'oscn and cut the railroad communication from I'lcschon, Just across tho border to Poson, capital of tho Province, which la ISO miles from Berlin. This operation marks tho Initial Rus sian movement Into Germany from tho east. Ofllclal announcement waa niado today that tho German forces which Invaded northwestern Poland had been driven back Into East Prussia. This clears Rus sian torrltory of tho Invading troops ex cept tho oxtrcmo western and south western part of Russian Poland, where the Germans are striving to hold their positions against tho repeated attacks of tho Czar's army. OFFICIAL STATEMENT. The statement of tho General Staff re lating to tho operations In Poland was as follows: "All Gorman troops havo been driven out of Russian territory on tho Thorn-Mlawa-Rypln front nnd havo retreated Into East Prussia. Tho enemy's Invasion in this quarter haa completely collapsed. "Except in tho west and southwest, tho aoll of Poland haa been ctcarcd of tho invaders and tho German forcos In those regions will bo compollod to withdraw as a result of tho activity of our cavalry. who havo Invadod Silesia and cut railroad communication to Plcschcn.

Tho lino between Kallszo and Czenstochow has been strongly fortl llod by tho Germans, and It Is tho line where tho Russians expect the Germans to mako their stand. Tho Russian plan of campaign Is to prevent them making this stand. To cut tho railway lino near Pleschen the Russian cavalry operating around the German left wing havo gone beyond the German lino.
