into Armenia, and the Kurd troops
have been forced to fall back upon
their stronger defenses.
Turkish claims are to the effect that
the" British invaders have been
routed from Akaba and the landing
force destroyed.
General Dc Wet snatched victory
GROWS FIERCER
and the Allies volleys have been fired by
friend against friend.
Throughout tho days and nights of
constant lighting, while earth and nky
were oliscureil with tho dense murk, the
roar of nrtlllcry has been Incessant all
along the lino from Dlxmudo to Arrnn,
for tho artillery duel has not yet been
dccldod.
Yt'ItES IN FLAMES.
The Germnns have bombarded Yprc
with heavy guns nnd the city Is In (lames.
The Belgian town of Stnntinin, Ijlng be
tween Ulxmudo nnd Langcinnrck, wns
caught In the vortex of nrtlllcry fire nnd
has been demolished.
Tho concentration of pressure on the
part of the Germans around Ypres and
Arras Indicates that the Invaders tire
pressing another supreme pffort to break
through tho lines of tho Fronrh, Hiltlsh
and Belgians. H Is unofficially reported
that the Belgians, who have been push
ing eastward along the const, while net
Ing as the advance guard of Anglo
French forces, have penetrated to the
outskirts of Ostcnd. This boars out the
reports which came from the front on
featurdnv to tho effect that tho Allies
had massed a heavy forcr of men south
of Mlddlekcrkc nnd east of Nlcuport,
with the object of beginning oftenslvo
movement In that vicinity.
French mllltnry exports nro now pre
dicting that French soil will soon be clear
of Germans. Some express the opinion
that by the first of tho year lighting will
ho In progress In Germany. However,
the conservative clement believes thit
theso predictions are premature. Tho
strong German lines piotectlng their
main lino of communication nro Intact
and Germany Is still nblo to ralso more
troops.
CZAR'S VICTORIES BIG FACTOR.
One big factor now In tho lighting In thi
Western theatre is the reverse which the
Germans havo suffered at the hands ot
tho Russians. Germany must have more
troop In the eastern arena to stem tho
onrush ot tho Muscovite forces. Tho
Kaiser must sond fresh equipment Into
that lone to replace what has been lost.
The mornle of the German army has suf
fered from tho Russian victories, and the
depression caused by losses In tho East,
coupled with tho dejection caused by the
Inability to mako progress In the West
must IneWtably huve a decided effect on
the outcome.
ALLIED FORCES
llshed the news of the great Russian nd
vance to the Slleslan frontier.
The report hns been confirmed that tho
Crown Trlnce Frederick Wllhelm Is com
manding the central nrmy on tho eastern
front of battle.
Another German report drclaren that
tho Germans have not abandoned their
project of reaching Cnlals. The report
adds that tho main object of their west
ern operations Is still to open a road to
tho French coast.
The Berllnscho Tldendes snys that the
town of Pnemysl Is ready for a second
siege and that tho fortifications havo
been strengthened, while every one not
possessing three months' provisions has
been ordered to leave the place.
It Is expected the Russians will be
ready to begin tho bombardment of
Pizemysl with heavy artillery vlthln a
few days.
nlways been a. favorite matter of dis
cussion among pan-Germans. That a
colonial vessel, a permanent unit of tho
Australian navy, should have destroyed
Germany's must skilfully handled war
Bhlp Is nn Incident which will produco
on emphasis of loyalty throughout Great

EMDEN BURNED
BY BRITISH SHIP
Cnntlnnrd from rre One
five more steamships, another dredgo and
captured a steamship which was not de
stroyed. ESCAPED FROM CRU18ERB
Only once were the British cruisers near
enough to her to endanger her, previous
to the encounter with the Sydney. That
was on October 15, when the Emden was
off Sumatra with tho Hamburg-American
steamship Mnrkomannla, her collier. Tho
Emden did not stop to light, but used
her speed to get away. Tho collier was
sunk by the British war vessel.
The Emden's speed Is said actually to
havo exceeded her official rating of 23
knots an hour. Her largest guns were
but 4.1 Inches. She had but ten of them,
with two mnchlno guns and two IS-lnch
submerged torpedo tubes.
Tho losses nmong the ofllcera and crew
of tho l'.mden arc announced ns having
been Very heavy. Tho Sydney's losses
were three killed nnd n wounded.
ADMIRALTY'S STATEMENT.
Telling of the destruction of the Emden,
tho Admiralty stntement declared:
"Yesterday morning news wns received
that the Euulen, which had been com
pletely lost since the action with tho
Zehmtchug, hnd arrived nt Keeling,
Cocos iHland, and landed nn nrmed party
to destroy the wireless station nnd cut
the cable. The Emden was caught nnd
forced to fight by the Australian wnrslilp
Sydney.
"A shnrp action followed, In which the
Sydney lost three men killed and IB
wounded. The Emden was driven ashore
nnd burned. Her loses are reported to
be very heavy. Every possible nsMatnnro
was given the survivors by various ships
which wire dispatched to the cene.
ONE GERMAN SQUADRON LEFT.
"With the exception of the German
squadron now off Chile, the wholo of the
Pacific and Indian Oceans are clear of the
enemy's warships."
"The Admiralty sent the following mes-
sago to tho commander of the Sydney:
Warmest congratulations for the
brilliant entry of tho Australian navy
into tho war and tho signal Bcrvlcc
rendered to the allied cause ami
peaceful commerce by the destruction
of the Emden.
"ROTTMNG UP" THE KOENIGSHERG.
Of the Koenigsberg "bottling up," tho
Admiralty statement said:
"On the 20th of October tho Koenigs
berg wns discovered by the Chatham hid
ing In shoal wntcr six miles up the Ruf
IJI River opposite Mafia Island, German
East Africa. Owing to her greater
draught, the Chatham was unable to
reach the Koenigsberg, which Is probably
aground. Part ot the crew of tho Koen
igsberg hnd landed nnd entrenched on
tho banks of the river.
"Both tho entrenchments nnd the
Koenigsberg were bombarded by the
Chatham, but owing to the dense palm
groves among which the ship lies, it
Is Impossible) to estimate the damage
that was done. Pending further opera
tlonn for the capture or destruction of
the Koenigsberg effective steps have
been taken to block tho vessel In by
sinking colliers In the only navigable
channel of the river. She Is now Im
prisoned and unable to do further harm."
THE KOENIGSRERG,
The Koenigsberg Is" rated as n pro
tected cruiser. Her keel was laid down
In December, 1005, and she cost nearly
$2,000,000. With a normal displacement

over all of 160 feet and a hrendth of U3i
feet She carried ten i 1-lnch guns, eight
three-pounders, four machlno guns and
two submerged torpedo tubes. Tho Koe
nigsberg complement was 293 officers and

The Chatham, sliter ship to the Sydney,
which destroyed the Emden, Is a light
cruiser of 5100 tons displacement. She
Is 130 feet long, with a breadth of IS;

Within German Territory.
PnTItOOItAD, Nov. 10.
Continuing their nKBrcsslvo mlvnnce
nloiuf tho entire battlo line, the Itusslans
today began n heavy nttack on tho line
of forts of Cracow.
Cossacks nnd heavy nrtlllcry nlrcady
havo regained nil the ground abandoned
In tho nthnnco Interrupted by the Aus-Iro-Qerman
Invasion of Poland.
. The Russian movement Into the province
of I'oscn hits continued vigorously.
Coldap, one of tho first points to be
taken In the first Russian Invasion of
Hast PrnsMn, Is ngnln In tho hands of
tho Itusslans. The advance guard, rush
ing through I'osen province Is declared to
be approaching Thorn, the southernmost
fortress of tho Vistula defenses In Ger
many. The Czar's forces have nlso entered
Knst Prussia nt Hold.iu, opposite Sllnwa
In Poland, and leading directly to Grnu
denz, one of Germany's Htrongost fortl
flcatlonn commanding tho Polish frontier.
All the zones of contact In the eastern
war theatre are now Inside German tor
iltoty. The IlUBslan cavalry, which In-
vnded Posvn, has pierced tho left llnnk
of the Germans at tho crossing of tho
Wnrtho Itlvcr nt Konln.
These cavalry operations, with strong
supports, havo nullified the entire defen
sive preparation of tho Germans lnsldo
tho Polish frontier.
Tho Itusslans now hold without resis
tance tho great lino of entrenchments
running from Czcnstochowa southwnrd on
Cracow and northward on Knllsz. The
Itusslans have captured 150O cars laden
with toal stnndlng In railway sidings in
Kast Prussia hi positions the Grrnians
havo evueuated.
It Is reported that In forcing the passagu
of the lllver San the Itusslans have
turned the Ucrmnn-Austrlnn retreat Into
a rout.
The Germans have made Hie utmost
possible hnsto to reach tho frontier. They
havo not engaged In t single serious bat
tlo since they left the vicinity ot War
saw. During their retreat they hav
made extensive uso ot motorcars, of
which they nro said to have 70,000 on tho
eastern front alone.
About 10.000 of these cars have been nt
tho disposal of tho rear guard, which,
after each attempt to delay tho KUBslan
pursuit, has thus been onabled to over
take the main body without dlfllculty.
Tho succession of victories gnlned
by Itussla In East Prussia, West Poland
and Gnllcla, nnd the extraordinary pow
erful and rapid sweep westward of tho
Grand Duke Nicholas' main armies arc tho
greatest achievements so far by Ger
many's nntngonlsts. Military critics pro
nounce It a miracle of warfare, compara
ble to the greutcst operations of modern
times
It was officially announced that Ger
many is moving troops from Belgium nnd
Kranco to the fiontlcrs of East Prussia,
Posen nnd Silesia.
It was also announced that Przcmysl,
the Austrian fortress In Gnllcla, has been
hastily prepared for a second siege.
