here this afternoon. It states that the

Tho day or yesterday was marked
by violent cannonade. The enemy dl-
s rectett hl blows particularly upon
iprcs, where the cathedrut belfry,
' the Halles and numerous houses were
set on fire; upon Bolssons nnd upon
r Ithelhis.
In the Artronne tho day was very
warm. The enemy made three sharp
attacks, which were repulsed.
In the Woevro region and In the
a Vosgcs the situation Is unchanged.
Si Heavy French artillery has been bom
.bardlng tho Qerman trenches north of
vJJplMons, and some of the Qerman works
-Jiave been destroyed. It Is likely that
pjn. French and the Algerian troops wilt
.make an effort to storm tho German
lines after the cannonade has been car
, J-ICd on to a sulllclent length to unnerve
i the Invaders.
FIItlNO OFF BELOlUAt
t The sound of firing off the Uclglan coast
was reported from Dunkirk. This was
- probably British and French warships
queuing mo uorman positions, but tho
roport states that the timbre of tho firing
was uuch as to Intimate that the artillery
f one side was being answered by that
of tho other.
Reports nro the Germans havo mounted
n. great number of heavy guns along tne
northern coast of Belgium belwoen Os
tend and thtj Dutch frontier, with their
muzzles pointing to nc. These cannon
navo been placed behind barricades, which
were erected under fire from the war
ships oft the coast The works were con
'structed with considerable loan of life.
The task of bringing the lieavy Krupp
guns to the coast has been carried on
under tremendous difficulties. Italn had
turned tho roads to deep quagmires and
a. cold wave had driven ilown from the
North Sen. The artillery horses gave
out and the traction engines wore so
heavy that they were continually stalled
In the mud. At some pdlnts for mils
after mile the artillery crawled forward,
working night nnd day, over corduroy
roads constructed Ahead of the guns.
KAI3BU AT BEtXHAN FltONT.
A small detachment of German officers,
who had been captured In the fighting
near the Belgian frontier, pushed through
Paris last night. The French troops Who
Were guarding the captives said that the
Germans had told them that the Kaiser
recently spent four days at rtoulers. Al
though he worn the Uniform of a second
lieutenant of cavalry to disguise him
self, his presence easily became known tc
tho troops. The Kaiser visited tne trench
es nnd Inspected the positions of artillery
behind the lines. He addressed a com
munication to the German onicers lighting
uimn the Ostcnd-Dlxmude-Ypres line. It
wns tho most supremo effort In this
vltnl campaign.
"Your Kaiser and Fatherland demand
II," was tho concluding sentence dt the
address.
An Unofficial telegram from FurncFS
gives the following details of the latest
German bombardment of Tpres!
In the dusk of Saturday a German
aviator mndo a daring flight over tho
outer lines of tho British forces before
Ypres, despite the terrific fire which was
directed against hi Taube machine. He
wan finally chased away by a British
aviator, whose machine carried a light
rapid firo gun.
GUNS CONCBNTIIATE ON YMtES.
"Tho British expected a cannonade to
follow nt onco, but the night passed
quietly until daybreak, when a violent
bombardment broke out all along tho
German lines. Shells began falling Into
Ypres from the southeast nnd the north
cast and It was evident at once that tho
Invaders had determined upon a vig
orous, concentrated cannonade.
"Very soon It was evident that the
German gunnors were feeling for a par
ticular mnrk. Shrapnel began railing In
the Rue Do Lille nnd tho Grand Place
with disconcerting regularity. Then It
was mndo plain that tho Germans, believ
ing that tho British commander nnd his
stun were occupying tho town hall, were
concentrating their rlro In that direction.
The German gunners nil through Sunday
kept dropping their shells among the
beautiful nnd historic buildings, and by
dusk tho town hall was a sinister monu
ment of ruin."

GERMAN ACTIVITY ON COAST
CAUSES ALARM IN ENGLAND
LONDON, Nov. M.
Extreme activity of the Germans, along
the Belgian coast, as well ns reports 'In
dicating that warships are about to
move from Kmden, was causing tho
greatest uneasiness here today.
Tho greatest mystery surrounded tho
movements along tho coast. Military ex
perts here express the belief that this
activity In Belgium may be a part of a
plan for tho establishment of .bases for
a daring raid upon London or the fore
runner of a movoment to cngago the
allied fleei off the coast and, under this
cover, endeavor to transport troops by
sea to the French coast.
The Germans havo brought forward
larga numbers of big guns, while dls-'
patches from Amsterdam have told of re
peated movements of cavalry to Poland.
The embargo placed yesterday and to
day by the Germans on all train service
In Holland Is believed to conceal a further
movement of mobile force from Flnnders,
where their places will be taken by artil
lery; The entire population of tho Belgian
coast towns of Zeebruggo and Knocke
havo been transferred to Bruges by the
Germans. The people were not permitted
to move Into Holland. Bruges Is now
said to he garrisoned largely by slightly
wounded soldiers, the otliera having been
moved townrd the front.
Reports have been received that six
submarines arc being put together on
the docks at Zeebruggo. The Inhabitants
of St. Nicholas, a city ot 40,000 between
Antwerp and Ghent, have been ordered
to leave Immediately. St. Nicholas Is an
important railroad Junction.
The people of the town were ordered to
move to Antwerp, where they were told
unoccupied houses originally abandoned
by Belgians who fled from the city would
bo turned over to them.
A dispatch to the Dally ' News from
Arthur Leach, dated "West Flanders,"
says:
' "The casualties which three and a half
months of modern warfafe have pro
duced are sulllclent to stock the whole,
of Europe. I have authority for stating
that this war has already accounted for
something liked 5,000,000 of picked Euro
pean 'manhood.
"This Is no fanciful figure. It .has
been worked out carefully."
A Paris dispatch says that, although no
official lists of losses have been pub
lished here, It Is known that since the
war began the French casualties have ex
ceeded 375,009 killed, wounded, captured
and sick.'
BRITISH WARSHIPS DRIVEN
AWAY FROM BELGIAN COAST
BERLIN. Nov. 23.
That English warships which recently
resumed their bombardment of the Ger
man positions along the Belgian coast
havo been driven off by the German artil
lery and that the Oermans are making
gains In the Argonno region of France,
capturing trenches there, are the chief
points brought out by an official state
ment issued at tho War Offlcp today. It
was as follows:
Headquarters reports that fighting
continues on the Nleuport-Ypres
front. A small British squadron,
which, approached the coast, was
driven oft by our artillery. Tho Brit
ish naval guns had no effect.'
We arc gaining ground In the Ar-
gonne forest, slowly but surely. We
are gradually taking trenches and
points of support and capturing pris
oners dally. A reconnoltering expe
dition against our position east of the
Mgtelle, was made ineffective by a
counter-attack.
The situation In East Prussia is un
changed. The appearance of Russian
reinforcements In Poland from War
saw la postponing decision In the bat
tle )n the region of Czestochowa, To
the northeast of Cracow the Austro
Oerman offensive Is maintained.
Unofficial dispatches say that reinforce
ments of Infantry, cavalry and artillery
are passing through Belgium to strength
en the German army In West Flanders.
The Invaders have thrown up a strong lino
of trenchea, behind the front, all the way
from tho French border through Bruges
to the coast. Between Bruges and
Courtrol the Germans have massed a
large amount of heavy artillery.
The Germans believe that the fresb
troops which they' have on the wny to
the front will be sulllclent to break the
Allies' line, notwithstanding the fact that
many of the soldiers are recruits and
have never been under fire. It is re
ported from Bluls that thousands of
German reinforcements are in motion
across the Schledt on their way to re
inforce either the Dlxmude or the Ypres
front- The Germans have commandeered
an Immense amount of meat to feed
these troops.
German soldiers are actively engaged
at Melrelbeke, near Ghent, building aero
plane hangars for the aviation camp.
Two hundred workmen from the Kiel
naval wharf have arrived at Zeebruggo
to put together the German submarine
parts transported thither from Germany.
From Brussels comes the report that
three Turkish princes have arrived theru
as the guests of General von der Goltz,
the German military governor. On Fri
day last a state dinner was given In their
honor. Later they were taken on an au
tomobile trip through the German lines.
LONDON, Nov. 23.

By J. W. T, &ASON
NlSW YORK, Nov. 33.--Genernl von
lllndenburg has how reached tho inost
critl&al parj of his crltloal Journey to
Warsaw. At IxjwIcz and Sklefnlowlce
he has planted his nrmy, atraddtewlse, on
the two main northern nnd southern rail
way lines which at these points begin to
convergo on Warsaw. Tho straddle Is 35
miles longi tho nnste formed by tho two
railways runs 45 miles before It comes to
Its apex at Warsaw.
This angle must be held by th Germans
In order to command both of the railways,
Hitherto Von lllndenburg has been com
pelled to protect only ono rnllwny line
the northern. Now, however, ho must
make aura of tho southern ns well, or
risk serious danger of being outflanked.
This risk, even with tho railways In Ger
man possession. Is n coiiBtnnt one. Von
lllndenburg In fact Is now "living danger
ously" In utmost accord with Nietzsche's
urglngs. Beside tho railway nngle there
Is a river angle which the Germans nro
entering nllve with perilous possibilities.
This river angle Is formed by the Vistula,
After passing almost straight across
Poland, from the German boundary, tho
Vistula swings sharply to the south Just
oororo reacning Warsaw, and ronns a
right angle with Itself. Warsaw Is on the
north-south leg of tho nngle, about 10
miles from the angle point. On the enst
west leg timi the snme dlstniice from tho
angle point Is Novo Gcorglevsk, a first
class fortress uf great strength.
Into this maw between tho fortifica
tions of Warsaw and Novo Georglevsk.
Von lllndenburg must now venture. If
ho Is outflanked or Is cnught In tho rear
he will bo driven between the fortresses
and ag-tinst tho Vistula with a catas
trophe Inevitable. In favor, however, of
tho risks Von lllndenburg Is running. Is
the fact that none of the Slav com
manders has shown a capacity for direct
ing a coup ot this nature. Nevertheless
the fact remains that nt no time during
the wnr has there been uo splendid an
opportunity for a devastating stroke ns
Von lllndenburg is now offering tho Russians.
On the other hand, no such daring has
been shown by any one In tho east or
west comparable to von Hlndenburg's
present drive. The risks aro such that
probably nobody but von Hlpdenburg
would accept tils own army Is certainly
outnumbered two to one, If not more,
While the Russian roads are In poor con
dition, making German advantage through
natural mobility exceedingly difficult to
develop. Von lllndenburg, however, Is
of tho type which revels In such handi
caps. Ills open criticisms of the Kaiser's
strategy nt army maneuvers during ponce
were what caused him to bo on tho re
tired list when the War broko out. But
he nnd the Kaiser mndo up tholr dlf
ferences In tho face of tho national crisis,
and von lllndenburg. started ahead to
win the title of prince, which will be
conferred oh him If he prerorves Eastern
Germany from a Russian Invasion.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.
From Berlin comes a report today, a
full week after It won learned hero from
British mall advices that tho British
dreadnought Audacious had been sunk
off tho Irish coast, that tho Audacious
woa sunk by a German submarine and
not by a mine. . .
Tho reports received hero by mall from
the north " of Ireland Btatcd tho Au
dacious, , 'after being so badly damaged
she could not bo saved, wns sunk by tho
British to prevent her becoming a men
ace to navigation.
Tho Berlin report declares that tho
Audacious wns torpedoed twice, tho sec
ond torpedo causing her magazines to
explode. Tho German submarlito do
claied. .to have hit tho Auduclous Is said
to havo been ono ot tho .typo which Is
about 'lTO feet long and with a surface
displacement of from COO to 700 tons. It
Is said tho submarine is capablo of a
MOO-mlle cruise.
Reports from Berlin have declared that
the British ships of tho first class are
being kept out of the North Sea becauao
they feared oubmarlno raids. Tho pres
ent report declares tliat through their
system of espionage the Germans learned
f..: ..i.v,in tiaeo had been cstab-
llshed at Lough Swllly. on tho northwest
coast of Ireland.
A submarine flotilla was sent out from
Wilhclmehaven, and after skirting the
coast of Scotland, worked around to a
position off Lough Swllly. It Is alleged.
One of the submarines is declared to
have sighted tho Audacious at n time
when the rough sea made it feasible to
approach close to the dreadnought.
Tho submarine Is then reported to have
dived and llrcd a torpedo. At least two
torpedoes are said to have been dls
churucdt The Olympic, ten mllea away, got the
dreadnought's wireless call for help and
tried to get hep Into Lough Swllly, but
was unable to da so, although her crew
was saved.

It was probable, he said, that the White

Jlo by the British Admiralty probably for

Tho Army Messenger today announced
tha capturo of Gumblnnen after a hot
fight in which Cossacks rode down tho
German gunners and captured tho bat
teries which were Inflicting heavy losses
on tho nusslan troops.
Tho stubborn nature of the German de

fourth day was devoted to n heavy bom
bardment from our artillery, heavy
gdns having been brought up.
"On tho nfth day, after our artillery
had driven tho Germans from their flro
lino of trenches, tho Cossacks nlade a
daring charge and rode down the cn
my's gunners. Tho German batteries on
tho east and south sldo of Giimblnucn
