However, this thrust of the Germans
from the Bast Prussian frontier through

great nnvaf lctory In jtho South AtfUn'tloJ
Reports hefo pay tho Dresden, solo sur
vivor ot the bntllo off Falkland Islands,
has been trapped In the Strait of Magellan.
A dispatch from Buenos Aires says:
"The German cruiser Dresden, the only
warship of Rear Admiral von fipce'a
squadron to escape after the battle with
tho British under command of Vice Ad
miral fiturdoe, has been cornered In the
Straits of Magellan, according to advices
obtained through well-In formed iclrclrs to
day. The naval 'division commanded by
Admiral Hturdeo Is understood to Include
nine warships, notable amonjr which arc
the British battle cruisers l,t0n and Ind
fatlgnble."
The Numbers had a complement of 205
olllcers and men, and It Is regarded as
significant that the Admiralty announce
ment makes no referenco to tho rescue of
nhy one on board of her. Tito German,
loss In men has probably beeh swelled'
to nearly MOO.
Tho announcement' of the sinking ot
the Nurnborg, following Its, pursuit, was
Issued through the Ofllclal Press Bureau.
It says:
A further telegram has been re
ceived from Vlco Admiral ' Sir Fred
crick Sturdce reporting that the
Nurnbcrg was nlso sunk on Decem
ber S, and thnt tho search for the
Dresden li still proceeding. Tho ac
tion taBted for five hours, with In
tervals.
Tho Sclmrnhorst sank after three
hours, anil the Gnclscnau two hours
later. The enemy's light cruisers
scattered nnd were chased by bur
cruisers and light crulscrsi No loss
of any British vessel Is reported."
The statement thnt tho Dresden Med
toward tho Strnlts of Magellan, tho
eastern eritrance of which is nbout 125
miles west of the Falkland Islands, Is
borne out by a dlsnatch from -Montevideo,
Uruguay, which says:
Naval observers, (.ommentjng on the ac
tion, mnke note that in nil naval engage
ments In the present war there has been
great disparity between tho losses of the
victors; -and tho vanquished. In the (aso
of the British cruisers Good IIopo and
Monmouth, sent to the bottom by a Ger
man squadron off the const of Chill No
vember 1, tho Gormnns were practically
unscathed, and tho snmc Is truo or tho
British, In their victorious engagement in
the South Atlantic.
In gther words, say tho experts, de
feat at sea means virtually annihilation
and tho loss of crews, with the exception
of bucIi men ns the- victors may be able
to save. This Is attributed to a great ex
tent to the fact that naval "engagements
navo been between ships of unequal arm
ament. The German guns outranged tho
British oft tho coast of Chill, add tho
roles wcro reversed off tho Falkland
Islands. Nevertheless, It Is argued that
even with ships of similar armament the
disproportion of losses between tho victor
nnd tho vanquished would bo greater by
far than anything posslblo In land war
fare. The British battle cruisers Lion and In
defatigable, reported to bo part of Vice
Admiral Frederick Sturdoe's squadron,
displace 20,350 tons and 18.7M tons, respec
tively. Tho T.lon was completed In 1012,

The Czar's forces defending Warsaw
on n fiO-mlle front have been bentcn back
by tho Austro-Getman columns. The re

In western Gnllcla tho Austrian arms

Tho Tlusslan advnnco to Cracow has

PETIloanAD, Dec. 11.
News of Hie hard-pressed Serbs' victory

Just n week ago the Austrlans extended
their lines over very difficult country
alons the right banks of the Mvcrs Kolu

miles. The two left-wing divisions start
ed on a triumphal march to Belgrade,
while the right wing was extended to en
velop tho Servian left,
Tho Servians attacked the Austrian
centre held by tho 16th Coips and, break
(ng through, compelled the right wing to
retreat In considerable disorder. Turning
then northward tho Servians continued to
break up tho Austrlnn centre, Including
divisions of the lSth Corps, and pursued
tho retreating right wing, consisting of
tho 16th Coips
Tho Austrlnn left, a portion or tho llh
Corps. wMch rested on Belgrade, does hot
nppcar to have como up In time to take
nn effective part In tho fighting. Indeed,
It Is Plated that Austria, believing the

dispatched several divisions of this corps
from Belgrade lo the nusslan frontier.
The itjoiclng In llustla over tho Servian
