After Attack by
Kaiser's Army
AWFUL HAVOC BY
GERMAN SHELLS
Another Fierce Effort Expected From
Dixmude to Arras as Soon as Ger
mans Have Rested and New Men
Can Be Procured
Paris, -Nov. 16, 7A. M.—The di'|
minisliing intensity of the German as j
sauLts in Flanders is due to somte ex-1
tent to severe weather conditions. The
flooded section is increasing in area as
a result of the continuance of heavy
rains and the country between Nieu- j
port and Dixmude is a vast swamp in ■
which guns and ammunition wagons
abandoned by the Germans lie em-1
bedded and in which float countless!
corpses. The Germans have been wash-1
ed out of their trenches in several |
places, says an eyewitness, who has
just returned from the front, but they 1
continue to send an occasional shell to
the French trenches.
It is not probable that the Germans j
| will make further attempts in this sec- j
I tion of the front, but a fierce effort is
I to be expected from Dixmude to Arras
I as soon as the German troops have re
| covered from their tremendous exer
tions of last week and new men can!
be brought up to fill the gaps in the ;
ranks.
Military Writers' View of Situation
The fate of the war depends now.
says Colonel Fey lor, an eminent ISwiss '
milij-ary writer, essentiallv on the re-1
serves of men that the armies are able
to bring up. and in this respect, ac- 1
cording to military opinion here, Ger- '
many appears to be in a state of in-:
feriority. Xot only doe? the Russian
offensive prevent Germany from trans-1
• ferring men from the eastern to the i
western front, they point out, but !
! troops that are now being instructed '
| in the interior will necessarily be sent
I against the Russians.
| It is also pointed out that Germany
| lias to operate on fronts totalling near-1
I l.v 1.000 miles with 25 active army
j corps, while the allies have at their j
disposal 29 army corps for a line less!
, than half as loug. Thus from the point
| of view of available troops it is argued j
| the comparison is unfavorable to the
i Germans.
Infantry Equally Well Supplied . \
So far as the equipment is concern--
ed, the infantry on both sides is equal- j
!y well supplied. At the beginning the !
Germans were much better off with |
quick-firers, but the allies have now j
caught up bv intensive production in i
the arms factories. In the artillery the
allies are said to have advantage as
far as light pieces are concerned, but
the German heavy artillery is superior, i
They are not likely to retain that su
periority long, however, since both the
French and British arsenals are be
ginning to deliver big guns and the
allies have plenty of trained men to
serve them, irrespective of the Japan
ese gunners whose early arrival at I
Marseilles is announced by rumor.
ADVANCE OF RUSSIANS ON!
CRACOW BECOMING SLOW
London, Nov. IC. 3.19 A. M. The
'Daily Mail's'' Copenhagen corre
spondent says:
"It is rumored, here that Cracow j
will not be defended, as the Austrians
fail to see why that city should be bom-!
bariled and laid in ruins for no reason.!
It- is stated that the Russians would not
be unwilling to give good terms for ca
pitulation, because the town is entirclv
Polish. The German colony fled to I
Berlin and Bavaria and the populatim
generally is fleeing to the mterior of I
Austria. '
The advance of the Russians to
ward Cracow lias become somewhat
slow. They are occupied in driving j
the Austrian armies through the C'arpa- !
tfcian passes toward Hungary and are
barricading the evacuated j asses to i
prevent the Austrians returning to
harass the Russian arinv while ?t ij '
fighting in Silesia." i 1

I alleged they set fire to all dwellings

EARL ROBERTS EIGHTH BIG
BRITISH OFFICER TO DIE
London,
minster Abbey has been offered as a!

Roberts, subject to the usual condition
that the body must be cremated. Lady
Roberts, it is announced, is unable to
accept the offer. The body of the dis
tinguished soldier will be brought to 1
England in a few days. It is under-1
stood that Karl Roberts wished to be
buried at Ail Saint's Church at Ascot,
near lvis home. A definite announcement
regarding the burial place .is expect
ed shortly.
According to a Paris dispatch, Karl
Roberts was advised not to go to the
front until the weather moderated, but
he refused to postpone the program ar
ranged for him.
Karl Roberts, i> the eighth distin
guished officer of the British army and
navv to die since the beginning of the!
war. The list includes Generals Grier-1

London. Nov. 16, 4.40 A. M.—The!
correspondent of a French newspaper, ('
who saw Earl Roberts just before he i
started for France, writes to the!
"Times," stating that Karl Roberts
told hiin h c intended to speak to Gen
eral French about the too great secret-v
which, to his mind, was kept by the
military authorities at the front and at i
home-concerning the work and brave ;
deeds of the British troops. He con-i
--sidered that while military movements
should be kept absolutely secret, the >
knowledge of how the British soldiers i
were lighting against great odds would ''
greatly stimulate recruiting in Eng- 1
land.
WARNS BRITISH PEOPLE OF
BIG TASK FACING ALLIES
London, Nov 16, 3.40 A. M. The

ent warns the British people of the
enormous task still fating the allies
and declares that England will need
all the troops that it is possible for
her to raise.
The correspondent points oat that it
will take month? for tlic Russians to
reach Berlin, saying that, even if the
Germans are driven from the positions
ther are now holding, they can fall
back on equally strong lines of defenses
they have prepared. He says he hears
that the Germans are setting the Rus
sians a formidable task to break
through and that before is accom
plished the Germans still may ibe able
to send troops to France and Belgium.
