REPORT IN LONDON
Germans Driven From

and Town Reoccupied.

Unofficial reports received in both
London and Paris declare that as the
result of three furious attacks by
French marines Tuesday night at
Dixmude, the Germans were, driven
out o(4ltheir
iLT.&chjS-WtltnM-
ivn ricrnnipd HrMtrrrlav hv the Allies.
These reports, however, are not'CO.nV
firmed by the official French com
munique issued this afternoon, which
makes no mention of such an en
gagement, although declaring that the
Allied lines -have been advanced at
several points.
The French statement reports that
the Germans are vigorously bombard
ing Arras, but at other points the ar
tillery fire is diminishing.
On the Aisne the Germans at
tempted an attack on the French lines
at Missy, but were driven back with
heavy losses.
The bombardment of Arnaville, 10
miles from Metr, is continuing, ac
cording to unofficial reports.
The Kaiser's lines on the Moselle
are believed to have been consider
ably weakened by the withdrawal of
troops for the Flanders campaign.
These forces are now massing along,
the line and particularly at Ypres,
where another drive is awaited by the
British.
"Rout" is the term applied by the
Petrograd War Office to the German
retirement between the Warthe and
Vistula. Rivers. Attack after attack
was repulsed by" the advancing Russians-,
each finding the Germans fur
ther, from their objective; of. Warsaw,
In the fighting west of Lodr the Ger
man losses were equal to an army
corps, according to Petrograd reckon
ing. Another army corps was cap
tured in the fighting, the official re
port states. Reinforcements rushed
by the Kaiser came in time only to
support the retreat of the right wing.

Destruction of Battleship
Bulwark in Sheerness Har
bor, at Mouth of Thames,
Announced in" Parliament.
LONDON, Nov. 28.
The German submarine terror was upon
London this afternoon. The battleship
Bulwark was blown up early this morn
ing In the Medway River, off Sheerness,
oniy murs rrom JuondQn.
rnasTinnouncea. in me ouso 01 wmmoi
by Winston Churchill;.-First lrdof the
Admiralty, it wns reported that two sub
merged Gorman submarines had been
located In .the. basin near where tha Bul
wark went down. Churchill declared that
Vice Admirals and Rear Admirals at the
scene reported the explosion appeared to
have been from an Internal magazine.
Fully 7E0 men wero lost In the de
struction of the Bulwark. According to
tho official statement, the entire comple
ment was on board when a terrific explo
slnn rent the Bulwark from bow to stern,
although reports from Rochester say that
half the crew wero on shore.
BHIP QUICKLT DISAPPEARS
The band, was on deck' playing when the
detonation split the heavens, sending up
a vast 'column of smoke and blowing
men and parts of the ship high In the
air. When the smoke cleared away the
Bulwark had entirely disappeared be
neath the waters. '
It was Churchill who was forced to
announce that In the appalling disaster
only 12 men wero saved, although they
wero In their homo waters when stricken.
"The' loss of the ship does not sensibly
affect our military position." said the
First Lord, "but I regret that- only 13
men were saved. I think the members
of the House would 'wish me to express
In their behalf the deepest sympathy and
sorrow with which the news was heard
In the House and tho great sympathy
that Is felt for those who lost relatives
and friends."
These remarks of Churchill were re
ceived with subdued cheering.
Reports of the. Bulwark having been
destroyed were In circulation-In London
throughout the morning, but the news
was' withheld pending official 'announce
ment by the Admiralty.
FEARFUL FORCE OF EXPLOSION,
' The. Bulwark, lying In the iledway, was
separated frorn 'tlie waters of tie Thames
only by a narrow strip, of land- which ex
tends out Intp the channel where' tho Med
way and Thames Join, forming the Sheer-,
ness harbor and Medway basin. 8,0 ter
rific Was the explosion that buildings In'
Sheerness were shaken to their founds.-.,
tlons. '
Great pieces of steel and debris wer
hurled six miles across the river Into Es
sex. The Immediate vicinity was etrewn
with an enormous amount of wreckage,
which Included armor plate, parts, of
Kuns. nieces of the ship's machiuery, and
woodwork- The surface of th water for,
several hours was moraiiy .covered wun
woodwork.
The concutiton was felt on both sides
of tha estuary of the. Thames. There
wero three or four other ships near the
Bulwark and the ijedway floating dock,
hut the suddenness of the, explosion-ana
the rapidity with which the Bulwark
sank defeated- life-saving attempts.
One survivor taken from tho water was
terribly mutilated. Burned, torn corpses
on the surface of the water were all that
was left after the explosion to, show where
the once mighty war craft had stood.
qillP RIPPBD IN TWO
She was ripped In two, her heavy steel
armor blown off and her vitals torn out.
It is obvious that she was completely de
molished below the water Una by thf, faet
that she was t -the bottom within three
minutes after the explosion oewrd.
If the report that two submarines hav'.
bn found ijear the wreck proves true
tho Germans wilt have surpassed all of
their previous feats of daring on tho .

By EDWARD It. BUSHNELTi
FRANKLIN FIELD, Nov. .-Cornell's
wonderful football team defeated Penn
sylvania this afternoon In one ot the
most sensational games ever played by
these two Institutions. Score Cornell,
21; Pennsylvania, 12.
It was Pennsylvania, however, that
furnished the sensation, for the Quakers
"carao back" In a manner that aston
ished Cornell, and made the heart ot
every Pennsylvania man thrill with pride.
After the Ithacnns had obtained a lead of
10-0, which wbb the score at the end of
the first half, the Quakers sprang their
feat.
In so sudden a manner as to sweep
Cornell off Its feet Pennsylvania scored
two touchdowns and led the Ithacans 13
to 10. ' It was a new chapter In Penn
sylvania's football history, and with the
.prospect of victory at hand the thou
sands of undergraduates and the alumni
went wild with enthusiasm and excite
ment. But the advantage was short lived, for,
although Pennsylvania had Cornell on
the defensive for the remainder of the
game, the Ithacans retained the punch to
their attack, and when they had a chance
to strike they struck hard, scoring two
touchdowns.
Cornell was the first to score. Barrett
dropklcking ft goal In the first period.
In the beginning of the second period
Cornell scored a touchdown, carrying the
ball 40 yards In 11 plays. Barrett made
this score. It was early In the third
period that Pennsylvania did her scor
ing. Starting from Cornell's 43-yard line,
the Quakers were over for their first
touchdown in nine plays.
PBNN VICTORY SEEMED SURE.
A forward pass from' Avery to Hon-
kins started things and a similar play,
Avery to Merrill, made the touchdown.
Tho goal was not kicked. From Cornell's
43-yard line the Quakers went over for
their Beond touchdown in Just eight
plays, a forward prfss from Avery to
Koons making this swore also.
Up to this point Pennsylvania had the
advantage. Then Quarterback Barrett
got Into the limelight again.
Hatching one of Avery s punts at mid
nW and protected by a crowd of lutr
ferers, he outprintd a halt-dozen Quak.
er tackier. "4 scored a touchdown.
Bveg tlita did not taka the heart out
of the Pejuvsylvanla players, for thy
fought Cornell to a standstill until the
ctoins moments of the game, when the
Rd and Blue, weakened by many sub
stitutions, the Ithacans marched SO yards
fox their final touchdown, which Phillppi
made.
Cornell won the toss and choae to de
fend the ut goal, Penn kicking oJC,
