BRITISH WARSHIPS AGAIN
SHELL SHORE BATTERIES
LONDON, Dec. 2.
The renewal of the artillery duel be
tween the British warships and tho Ger
man land batteries on the Belgian coast
Is reported in a dispatch from Rotterdam,
which says that tho detonation of the big
guns Is plainly audible, at Slurs. An
Amsterdam dispatch reports that the Ger
mans ore retiring on the Yser now nnd
are massing artillery at the menaced
coast points In preparation for more de
termined attacks there.
A Dally News correspondent, wiring
from a town In Belgium, minimizes tho
renorts that tho Kaiser's troops are being
withdrawn at Dlxmude, and expresses the
opinion that nt least one more attempt
will be made to break through the lines.
"Ah It Is," he says, "the German heavy
guns have disappeared from the tiring
line, In all probability because the mud
-WfJSgi'J-TrtaJfjng it Impossible to move the
heavy pleccV In haute Now the Allies
Jiavo only tho lighter nrtlllcry to face,
and these arc particularly active only at
Intervals.
"Recently the German artillery began
with extraordinary suddenness a terrific
bombardment of the French Intrench
ments. It started about 7 o'clock In the
evening and lasted until nearly midnight.
From a considerable distance It was pos
sible to see the (lashes, which occurred
prqbably at the rate of iO a minute, and
to hear the Incessant booming. Along
the rest of the line the Germans guns
were quiet.
BERLIN ADMITS
BY ALLIED
BERLIN, Dee. 2.
Admission that the Allies have made
"Insignificant advances" In the western
theatre of hostilities Is contained In an
official statement issued by General
Headquarters this afternoon. The an
nouncement sajs:
General Headquarters report that In
the western theatre the enemy has
made Insignificant advances, which
now have been checked. In the Ar
gonne region a strong position, sup
porting the enemy's lines, has been
taken by tho Kaiser's Wuerttem
be?gi Infantry.
The Reichstag met today to vote further
war credits. Doctor on Bethminn
Holhvcg, the Imperial .Chancellor, ad
dressing the members, declared that the
situation on both the eastern and western
fronts was "favorable to our army." He
urged that the Reichstag vote the credits
asked, on the ground that such action
would be a stimulus to the troops.
800 GERMAN MINES LAID
IN ATLANTIC, LONDON HEARS
Cruiser Berlin. Reported to Have Ac
complished Feat.
LONDON. Dec, 2. It Is said that S00
German "live" mines have been sown in
the open Atlantic to thwart the American
trade and passenger route, Ter German
cruiser Berlin Is represented to have been
the ship which achieved this mlno laying
feat. She Is said to have crept north,
keeping well In toward the Norwegian and
Swedish shore and occasionally hiding In
the Norwegian fjords, until she finally
swung- around Iceland to the route of
tranaatlantlc traffic.
So hard pressed was the Berlin on her
-way home, according to this theory, that
he Is said to towe been compelled to
enter the Norwegian port and surrender
lor interment until the end of the war,
rather than risk capture and destruction.
According to British opinion, sooner or
later the British and German nav)ea
tnust meet In a decisive battle. This
opinion Is based on the assumption that
the Allies will Anally beat Germany on
the land and so force the Germans Into
an auton on the water. '

On tho heights of the Meuse. In the
Woovre region nnd In the Vosges noth
ing worth mentioning has happened.
The fierceness of the strugglo between
the Germans and tho Allies In northern
Franco nnd west Flandcr? has for some
weeks overshadowed the operations elsp
where along the 300-mlle battle front, hut
the presence of General Joseph Joffrc, the
French commander-ln-chlef, on the east
ern end of tho line has, for the tlmo being,
shifted some of the public Interest to that
quarter.
A French army which has cut Its way
northward through the Moselle Valley to
Arnavltle, nearly within artillery range
of tho outer circle of forts nt Metz. Is
carrying on a vigorous bombardment of
the fortress there In an effort to move
farther to the north. Xorthonst of Arna
vlllo lies the army of Metz, commanded
by Genet nl von Strnntz, a German veteran
of 1870: northwest of Arnnvlllo, on the
west side of tho Meuse, lies the German
army which Is commonly known ns tho
army of the German Crown Prince.
The British haso hospitals are In
Doulogne; those of the French are In
Dunkirk nnd those of tho Belgians In
Cnlals. Mere figures have ceased to con
vey adequately the terrible coot of war
In the northern Bphcre, but nn Idea Is
gained by the Information that more than
CO public nnd private buildings In these
towns have been given over to care of the
wounded. Within 2( hours more than
7000 wounded Iliitlsh, French, Belgian and
Indian troops arrived In those three const
cities from that part of the battlo line,
stretching from Albert, In France, to
Ofitend, In Belgium. So mighty haB been
tho human havoc In this arena of hos
tilities, t.int It has been called the 'Devil's
Play Ground."
"The French batteries, most .excellently
concealed, replied with less violence but
tvllh considerably more precision. Tho
continuous flashes gave away the Ger
man positions, and the French artillery
men went about their work coolly nnd
steadily. Next day showed that some
German guns had been silenced once
for nil.
"This little Incident serves to Bhow
how erratic Is the foe with whom the
allied armies have to deal, nnd It Is be
cause the Germans do hesitate to at
tempt the Impossible that I think that
een yet thcro may bo a renewed attempt
to break through the Dlxmude-Nleuport
line.
"Their only possible hope of success
depends upon their big guns. At tho
present time Flanders Is a sea of mud,
Into which the big guns would lncvl
tably sink. Soldier for soldier, the Bel
gian nnd the Frenchman arc quite equal
to tho German, and the light artillery
of the Allies Is very plentiful. Robbed
of the use of their big guns, tho German
offensive must fall."
An Amsterdam dispatch says: "Abso
lttlo confirmation of the reports that the
Germans nrc removing large forces of
their mobile troops and smaller guns
from Flnndors and Franco to Poland
have been received. One hundred and
fcrty-clght machine guns and 50,000
cavalry have passed through Herbesthal

THE
GERMANS CONTEST
RDSSIAN SWEEP IN
INCH TO INCH FIGHT
Cut Way Out of Czar's Steel
Ring at Lodz and Lowicz,
But Lose Possession of
Plock.
PKTROaltAD, Dec. 2.
German forces are contesting the Rus
sian forwnrd movement along the Vistula
with desperate zeal In righting, In which
every Inch Is disputed.
The victorious advance of the Russians
continues along the entire bottle front, It
was odlclnlly announced In the Army
Stcfscnger today. The severe cold Is
hampering operations, but the Russians
continue to meet with considerable suc
cess. "The Russian armies operating against
the Germans Austrlatis nnd Turks con
tinue to meet with considerable succcsb,"
the statement says.
"All along the front our troops are con
tinuing their victorious advance. The ex
cessive cold, however, is delaying general
operations."
It Is now admitted, however, that In
the vicinity of Lodz nnd Lowlcz tho Ger
mans have succeeded In cutting their way
out of the trap which had been laid for
them. This was only accomplished, how
ocr, with terrific losses.
Farther north In tho widespread battlo
zone the Russians have driven the Ger
mans back along tho Vistula and now
hold Plock In force. This Information
leached here today In unofficial dispatches
from the front, telling ot the terrific
fighting In Poland.
Plock Is 0 miles northwest of Warsaw,
on the Vistula. It was there that the
first determined fighting occurred In the
German advnnce upon Warsaw from
Thorn. The Russians were driven back,
but were last reported to have recovered
ground to Gombln, ten miles south ot
Plock, and have now occupied that po
sition Itself.
By holding I'lock, tho Russians control
the Vistula, which has been serving as
an Important line of communication for
tho Germans, It Is declared here. Several
barges loaded with supplies and ammuni
tion have already been captured.
The bloodiest day of the fighting In
Tolnnd to date Is said to have been last
Friday. Throughout that day the Siberian
corps stormed German trenches In the
Lodz region. Tho Russians charged and
carried the fighting directly to tho Ger
man lines. Tho enemy offered terrific
tpslstnnco. Ammunition was cast aside,
and the two forces fought bayonet to
bayonet or clubbed eoch other with tho
butts of their rifles. Many resorted to
bare fists before giving up. Not n single
German was left alive when the Russians
finally enmo Into undisputed possession
of the works. Tho Russian troops were
soaked with blood, which froze on their
uniforms.
The Russian troops are declared to be
withstanding tho hardships of the winter
fnmpalgnlng better than the Germane.
All prisoners captured declare they havo
endured terrible suffering. Many have
frosted or frozen feet nnd hands. Supply
trains have been wrecked, and there Is a
shortage of warm clothing for the army.

By J. W. T. MASON
NDW YORK, Dec. 2,-The failure of the
Russian field army to fulfil the optimistic
predictions of Pctrogrnd Is now npparcnt.
There has been no hugo victory gained
by the Slavs, nnd Field Marshal Von Hln
denburg's nrmy has not been split Into
three parts preliminary to Its annihila
tion. These highly colored narratives seem
specially manufactured In Petrograd by
correspondents who apparently nrn at tho
mercy of highly Imaginative Slavs for
their Information. The Russians arc pay
ing tittle nttcntlon to the operations in
Franco and P-elglum. The armies of the
Allies In the west are chiefly thought of
as being useful for diverting a large Dart
of the Austro-Germnn armies from the
eastern operations. Pctrogrnd, theroforc,
regards tho Russian flold forces as be
ing uppebert by numerically Inferior ene
mies, thus making victory for tho Grand
Duke Nicholas certain nt every encounter.
Tho danger of serious Internal disturb
ances If tho Russian nrmlrn show no lm
ptovement over their foim during the
Jnpnnese wnr Is also an Important fac
tor In explaining tho Illogical optimism
nt Petrograd. It would be dangerous to
the security of the present bureaucracy
If the n.ows wero allowed to spread
throughout Rtiraln that von Htmlcuburg
Is holding tho Slav armies far from the
German frontier; It would tc more tlan
gcioun If the conviction were to gain
giound among tho people that the war
may end without any German territory In
Russian possession. The Japanese were
outnumbered two to one when they de
feated tho Russians In the Mancuurlan
campaign. Since then heavy additional
taxes have been nsseascd on the Rus
sian nation to reorganize the army, and
jet tho army once moro Is being held
buck by a foe small In numbers, possibly
na Inferior ns during the Japanese war.
Theso facts, quite npparcnt to outside
observers, are dangerous food for re
flection in Russia. Tho Gorman war
leaders hnve always counted on Slavonic
revolutionary possibilities coming to their
n'd In a war against Russia. If the pres
ent war Is extended over a long period
nnd If Slav Impotence continues against
Germany, Internal disturbances arc prac
tically certain to break out In Russia
unless the Czar's armies are able to make
headway against Turkey.

PETROGRAD, Dec. 2.
In the campaign against the Turks In
the Caucasus the Turks admit having lost
12,000 In killed and wounded up to Novem
ber 23.
Dispatches from Constantinople say
that Said Achmet el Fomseh, lender of

ROME, Dec. 2.
The Russian Embassy has a com
munique from Petrograd that Russia Is
about to publish lists of the names of
Oermnn prisoners, who It Is said, are
vastly more numerous than the Russians
In German hands.
Regnrdlng the alleged victories by tho
Austrlans in the Carpathians, it Is de
clared that the truth is that the Rus
sians occupy all of the passes through
that mountain range, and that detach
ments of Cossacks are constantly making
Incursions into the plains of Hungary,
spreading disorder and panic, but not per
manently occupjiug the territory.

Inability of the Slavs to retain the offen
sive In Poland, suggests that Russia may
be suffering from tho same failure of
equipment that Is so seriously hamper
ing the Allies In the west. At the out
break of tho war the unlimited numbers
Russia could put In tho field was a
favorite dinner-table topic. Since then
It line become known that soldiers do not
fight with their fists, but must hnve guns
and ammunition. Russia probably lacks
these supplies. Otherwise what has be
come of Its oxhaustless millions of sol
diers? Why aren't they In the field, ocr
w helming von Hlndenburg nnd marching
victoriously to Constantinople?
Berlin now confidently asserts that
danger of a Russian Invnslon hns dlsap
ppnicd. Do tho Germans know Hint Rus
sia's limited war supplies make Impossi
ble the equipment of a large part of tho
Slavs otherwise available for tho battle
line? This faet, together with tho tempta
tion of Conslnntlndpto nnd, above all,
the leadership of von Hlndenburg, are
probibly the reasons for Germany's satis
faction over the campaign In Poland.
By WILLIAM B.IDSDALE
IN HIHX3IUM, Dec. 2. If tho troops
of the Kaiser are to roach Calais by
December 10 they hate a very busy nlno
days In front of them. In spite of all
statements to the effect that tho enemy
Is retiring on the lino between Dlxmude
and the coast, 1 am not convinced thnt
they will depart without making another
nlfmpt to break through.
Tho longer they delay the harder their
ta3k will be. Germnn heavy guns hav
disappeared from tho firing line, In all
probability because tho mud Is fast mak
lng It impossible to move heavy pieces in

While tho Allies have been making sure
their defenso, they at tho same time
havo made possible nn advance In force,
but tho retaking of Belgium Is going to
be a long and terrible business. I have
the best possible authority for stating
the defenses behind tho Gorman lines nre
singularly complete. British airmen have

ROME, Dec. 2. Fresh hopes that tho
hostility of the rebels in Tripoli will soon
cease came today with the announce
ment that the chief of tho Senussl may
bo elected Khedive of Egypt. It Is
thought that If elected ho will proclaim
himself the Caliph. Italy Is encouraging
negotiations with this object In view, be
lieving thnt the rebellion In Tripoli will
end If n Senussl becomes Caliph.
Tho Senussl ore a peace loving people,
caring only for their religion. The situa
tion is further complicated by tho fact
that many followers of Mohammed have
always looked to Ya Ya, said to be n
direct descendant ct tho Prophet, as the
futuro Caliph.
Dispatches from Tripoli say that rebels
