They lie, roughly Speaking, as follows: Southeast of Mlawa, In the Vistula allny north of Lowicz, along tho tlzura valley, southwest of I'lotrokow and around Cracow, In Gallcln, to which point the Germans arc constantly sending such reinforcements ns they can sparo from tho campaign In East Prussia and north ern Poland. The Gorman efforts In western Poland to roll back the Russians and rollevo tho aro,nd Vpres, the Allies were able to make progress In the direction of the enemy'n trenches at several points. At every other point on the battle front, from the sea to the Swiss border, at -allien the Allies attempted the offensive they mada appreciable gains. Particularly notable was the advance In the Argonne. where Ihe French pushed forward several of their Intrenched po sitions afler repelling German attacks; In the forest of La Pretre, where prog ress wns continued and emphatic, and south of Thann. In AUace, where the railway station of Aspadh, 10 miles west bf Muelhausen, has been captured by the French, Artillery duels were fought In tho Ar ras region and about Juvlncourt, north of the Alsnoi In (ho vicinity of Varenncs, nlong- the heights of the MeUse, and In the Vosges passes, Everywhere the French nuns continue to demonstrate their superiority over the Germans. Along the centre tho battle continues to show all the characteristics of a siege with both sides living in dugouts behind their" trenches while tho opposing artil lery struggles for mastery. Northwest of Verdun the fighting har surged backward and forward across the Alsno lllver under conditions which are slightly similar to those prevailing along tho Yser in Bclslum.

LONDON, Dec. 12. Of the Ave Austro-Qerman columns fhlch for soma days appeared to be mak ing steady progress In their Invasion of Poland three have suffered checks, ac cording to last night's ofllclal report from Russian headquarters. Tho column which was making a down--ward stroko from Mlawn, on the East Prussian frontior, and which was reported In one dispatch from Pvtrogrnd tof b within IS miles of. Warsaw, after an ncrgetlc offensive was repulsed, and un der counter attacks from the Russians was compelled to retire at somo points. The attacks of the main German poc -column, which had Its front on the lino ern between Lodz and Lowicz and which alls.enme down diagonally from Thorn, 3erc delivered With great force, but "octro, according to the Russian account. . poctculsed with heavy losses to tha ln- v-V-jrs. Trtiit the .Germans laid great store on the success of their attacks here Is shown by the fact thnt during the two days they faced the Russian trenches seven times and were driven back by a mur derous fire. , Tho other column which has suffered Is that composed of German and Aus trian troops, which has been trying to outflank the Russian left south of Crarow. In thla enso It waa the 15uh- lans who assumed the offensive, and they claim that after a tenaclou resistance they defeated the Germans, taklntf sev raU guns and 2000 prisoners. Of the German column operating In the region of Petrokow and that advanc ing from Czcnstochowu there Is no news except the Russian statement that "on the other parts of the front there have Veen no substantial changes." ALLIES HURL FQE FROM YSER CANAL Continued from rats One Russian seaport of Batum dn the Black Sea. It is reported 100 Rus sians, of the garrisons were killed. , Reports say that Moslem forces hayc reached the Suez Canal and that Senussi forces have crossed the Egyptian border.

The German troops .n Flanders havo been compelled to evaquate the west bank of the Yser Canal, and the Alllos have occupied the positions abandoned by the foe. Thl was officially announced here this afternoon. An official statement issued by jtn W,r Odlee shows that the French artillery continued to demonstrate Us superiority over that of the Germans. Ob of tie German howitzer batteries has been completely destroyed, the offi cial statement says. Fallowing reports that the French have gained Arraentierea there were rumors today that the Allies have also obtained control of La iu&ju.. Determined fight ing has been In progress along- the La Baseee Canal, but confirmation of the gaining of the town of that name Is lacking. , Tfrriflo counter attacks are beinc made top the Germans in West Wanders to , chqlc the efforts of the British and Trncli to puib forward on tb Roulers road, from Yjwea.

The statement reads: "Regarding tho naval battle off the Falkland Islands, It transpires that our cruiser squadron, soon after the battle with Sir Christopher Cradock's ships off Coronel, put Into tho harbor of .Santiago de Chill and left there after a stay of icss man zi nours ror an unknown des tination. It Ie assumed that the squadron steamed southward to seek the British battleship Canopus and tho light cruiser Glasgow. "Meanwhile, It appears from the English nowspapors, a very strong British squad ron was dlspatrhed to search for and destroy our cruiser squadron. Nothing certain Is yet known by us concerning the battle. It la reasonable to conclude, how ever, mat tne acnnninorst, Gnelscnau and Leipzig were sunk, while the Dresden nnd the Number succeeded In escaping. "In view of the superiority of the onemy's lleot, which consists particularly of big, fast, well-armed ships, there seems little chance that our two cruisers can long evade pursuit. We must, there fore, also reckon with the loss of both theso ships. It Is hardly to be expected from British sources that accurate In formation wilt be given of the coiirse of the conflict or of the composition of the British squadron. "It should not be forgotten that our squadron wbb four months on the high seas, nnd that without belnB able to mako use of cablesrams or uther means of in formation It assembled and dealt a heavy uiow to me enemy's fleet. No protected harbor was at the disposal of our ships for most necessary repairs and there was no dock for the cleaning of their keels. Thy succeeded, nevertheless, in getting supplies of orovlsions and coal for four months without falling Into the enemy's hands." Tho BrltlBh official statement announc ing that tho German cruiser Nurnberg also had been sunk on December S ap parently had not been made public In Berlin when tho foregoing semi-official communication was Issued, of tho capture of tho Turkish town of Ktirna uy Indian troops operating under tho command of English officers.' Yet this -unnoticed success gives to Great Britain control of tho head of tho Porslan Gulf, one of the few colonial prizes not annexed by tho European Powers. Germany, Russia and England have all been eager for ycnrB to obtain from Tur key this choice territory, which wns the most flourishing part of the ancient Baby lonlnn Empire, where Nebuchadnezzar reigned 2300 years ago. Antiquarian Inter est, however, hna not created .Interna tional rivalries for possession of the Per sian Gulf's northern littoral. Trado In terests nnd military strategic reasons give to Babylonia Its modern value. Primarily, the same cause that sent Columbus across tho Atlantic Ocean has urged England, Germany and Russia to extend their Influences about the Persian Gulf. The desire to shorten the route to India and to the East In general Is the Impelling move. "While trade expansion Is the dominant cause, tho military de fense of India gives nil additional Im petus to British efforts. Germany Is now constructing a railway through Asia Minor to the Persian Gulf by menus of which Gormnn traders event ually expect to dominate Eastern com merce. Now, however, tho terminal mile age of the lino nt the Persian Gulf end will have to pans through British terri tory, for England will undoubtedly In sist on retaining southern Babylonia it the Allies are successful at tho end of the war. Tho most Important part, there fore, of this new trado route to the East now Beems destined to become British. To the present tho success of Eng land's Indian troops In Babylonia Is the most important result of Turkey's en trance into the war. In fact, tho futuru value of the victory, nfter the war ends, Is second only to what would accrue from the capture of Constantinople. The cheapness of tho conquest la wholly out of proportion to the result. Tho entire British casualties were 1 English officer killed and 3 wounded, nnd 40 Indians killed nnd 110 wounded. In exchange for these losses, England receives the most valuable territorial prize tho war can give to that nation. The entire district England has occupied Is not as large us Connecticut, but It Is one of the few spots on tho globe Englishmen want to round off their empire. AGED RULER LEADS. SERBS WIN AGAINST INVADERS Kinff Peter Heads Troops, Which Movq Toward Belgrade. LONDON, Dec. 12. King Peter of Servla, 70 years old, led his troops against the Austrian to the overwhelming victory In northwest Ser vla, which culminated on December 8, says a dlaputcli from Nlsh. King Potcr received his training nt St. Cyr, the West Point of France, and he Is known as ono of the best strategists In Europe. Neither his age. his troubles of State, nor his family affairs have dulled his military ability. A news agency correspondent at Nisn wires: "The Serbs are on the point of reoccupylng Belgrade. Tho Austrians there have .been cut off by the Serbs pierc ing their line. The Serbs have occupied a town fivo miles from Belgrade." VICTORIOUS BRITISH FLEET ASKS 300 BEDS FOR WOUNDED English Request Montevideo to Care for Victims of Battle. BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 12. Three hundreds beds for the wounded in tho Falkland naval engagement have been requested by wireless messages received today at Montevideo from the British fleet. Accotdlng to the nlreless, the wounded will reach Montevideo. It Is supposed that practically all of them are Ger mans, rescued by the British warships from the Onelsennu and the Leipzig. Only those vessels under Sir Frederick Sturdee'a command having the wounded aboard are expected at Montevideo, The rest of the vessels, according to wireless advices, will move northward several hun dred mllea oft the South American coast. A massage received at Montevideo last night stated that they would pass that polut 300 mtles at sea on Sunday. The ships bearing the wounded will then detach from the squadron and put Into the Uruguayan port. It Is believed that the desire of the British to force German sympathizers to take care of the German wounded Is responsible for the landing at Monte video Instead of at a port In the Falkland Islands, which are a British colony, It is generally accepted as a fact here that the Dresden has been sunk. All reports aarea that It was well toward evening; before the Numbers' went down. At that hour, while the Dresden was still afloat and fleeing, she was apparently in distress, and It Is believed here that She foundered during the night This would aeeount for the failure of Sturdee officially to report her loss and also for her failure to interne In some neutral Alt POPE'S PEACE PLAN FAILS Vatican Document Stntes "Certain Power" Blocked Truce Proposal. ROME. Dec. 12. The efforts of 1'opo Benedict XV to obtain a truce In the European war dur ing the Christmas' season have failed. This was announced at tho Vatican to day In a public document which says that "owing to tho ' opposition" of a "ceFtaln Power," efforts to stay hostill ties over Christmas have come to naught, BERLIN, Dec. 12.The propoeal of Pope Benedict for a truce among the warring nations during the Christmas holidays Is said by the Official Press Bureau today to have been declined by Russia. The German Press Bureau previously announced that Germany was willing to agree to a Christmas truce, provided the other nations at war gave their assent. GERMANS EAST OF LODZ MENACE RUSSIAN REAR Berlin, However, Admits Stubborn Resistance to Wnrsaw Advance. BERLIN, Dec. 12. Tl.o latest reports' from the fighting zone around Lodz, ac cording to Information given out by the German Ofllclal' Press Bureau today, show that the resistance of the Russians in that region Is by no means broken. Tho new Russian positions on Mlazga Cut are only same 12 or 18 miles to the eastward of Lodz, which demonstrates, it Is said, thnt much yet remains to be done before tho Russians can be consid ered definitely defeated. "In these circumstances." the Gennnn statement says, "the battles In the vicln- n j- oi i.owicz, to the northeast of Lodz, have gained added significance. If tho Germans succeed In breaking through here, the positions of the Russians be hind Mlazga will be untenable," (A dispatch from Petrogrnd passed by the censor says U Is unofficially reported that tho German army under General Mnckeneen has penetrated from Lowicz to within 15 miles of Warsaw. The ad vance posts of the Germans on this line would thus be In tho neighborhood of tho town of Blonle, miles to the northeast of Mlazga, A direct southward march would bring General Mackensen's army to a position 35 miles In the rear of the Russian defenders of Mlazga.) iieporis irom aoutn Poland do not men tion the place where the Auetro-Oerman nttacks on the Russians have been re uumed, but it probably Is at a point to tho south of Plotrkow. These attacks serve the purpose of preventing the Russians from detaching forces to assist their armies further to the north. These at tacks, as well Is those of the Austrians In the south, thus far have led to no definite result. LONDON, Dec. 12.-Three attempts by Gormnn submarines to enter British ports within less than a month have convinced tho Admiralty officials that the "spy system" which had betrayed to Germany military movements supposed to be known only to high authorities has nlso succeeded In learning many naval secrets. The officials believe that Ihe submarines would not have dared to attack ports guarded by mines unless their command ers know the location of tho mines. A thorough investigation Is being con ducted to ascertain the manner In which the mine maps came Into possession of tho enemy. Deeper Interest Is added to this Inquiry by news that on Wednesday morning Gorman submarines made two attacks on tho Firth tit Forth. A dis patch from Edinburgh reports that two of the German vessels wero stink, but no official announcement to this effect has been Issued by the Admiralty. ADMIRALTY KEEPS SILENT. Naval headquarters maintained the sumo silence In reference to the Firth of Fortli episode ns that In reference to the nttack on Dover earlier In the week and on Yarmouth some time ago. The submarlno raid at Yarmouth was backed by n squadron of German war ships, but practically nothing has been nllowcd to appear in the papers about it. It ccrtnlnly gave the Admiralty and War Office a shock. When Lord Kitchener wns told of tho raid lie was rung up at his residence almost before ho was out of bed he gave orders for every official In the' War Office to romnln Indoors until ho arrived. When the secretnry did arrive he had maps of the whole of the cast coast brought beforo him and spent the morn ing studying them. No one was allowed to disturb him. Then ho sent for Wins ton Churchill, first Lord of the Ad miralty, nnd tho two were closeted to gether for several hours. ALL RIVKRS MINED. Immediately the mouth of every Im portant river was mined, but other pre parations of which the public knows nothing were also made. A few nights ago the railroads of the Great Eastern system were placed at the disposal of the Government, and In one night 30,000 troops wero transferred from vari ous camps to positions which had been selected for them. Further batches aro to follow. A number of the new, big guns Just completed at Woolwich and In Scotland have already been placed m position at certain points nnd masked so completely that the Inhabitants are unaware of their existence In the neighborhood. The fact Is that were a German force to land on any part of tho east coast of Britain, It would havo small chance of gaining more than a footing. A thoroughly compre hensive scheme of defense has been wprked out by Lord Kitchener. miociAMR RATTER FORCE SENT TO RELIEVE CRACOW Austro-Qerman Army In Disorderly Flight After Grave Defeat.
