LATE WAR NEWS SUMMARY
Germany acknowledged that the Rus
sian northern army has penetrated into
East Prussia to a distance of 15 miles
southwest of Gumbiunen, which is about
20 miles west of the German border.
In Belgium, says the French officirl
statement, it is the allies and not *:hc
Germans who are now on the offensive.
These two points stood out in to-day's
news from the battlefield of Europe.
The German official statement says
that strong Russian forces attempted a
surprise attack on the fortifications of
Darkehmen. In East Prussia, and that
they were repulsed. Semi-official infor
mation from Petrograd is that opera
tions along the Prussian front are turn
ing to the advantage of the Russians
and that the Germans are retiring in
disorder. Meanwhile the great battle
in Russian Poland, between the Vistula
and Warrta rivers, continues without
definite result. The German War Office
states that the Russians were defeated
in a battle south of the Vistula and
that 4,." tH) men were captured. Fur
ther south, in Galicia, the Russians are
said to have reached Cracow and to
have begun the siege of the city.
According to the French official
statement, the German forces in Bel
gium are on the defensive and the al
lies have made progress "at certain
points.'' Fighting continues in the Ar
gonne. where, the French statement ar
serts, German attacks were repulsed.
The whereabouts of the German
Pacific fleet, of which little has been
heard since it sank the British cruisers
Good Hope and Monmouth off the coast
of Chile nearly a month ago. has be
come one of the mysteries of the war.
Dispatches from Montevideo again re
port that this fleet is now in the South
Atlantic, although it was said last week
to have remained off the Chilean coast.

RUSSIANS CLAM VICTORY

Fighting on the Russo-Prussian front
is turning advantageously for ourside."
telegraphs a correspondent of the
"Army Messenger." "Our cavalry has
disi'ersed the enemy who, in retiring,
is abandoning his munitions of war. The
energetic pursuit of our foTces prevents
the Germans from taking up the posi
tions which they had prepared for their
use in the event of a retreat.''
Referring to the operations in Galivia.
the "Army Messenger" says:
"All of our operations iu Galicia are
ending successfully for us. We con
tinue to push the Austrian army in the
direction of Cracow. In spite of the
intense cold, which is delaying our of
fensive, we are advancing victoriously.
"Several of our contingents already
are abreast of Cracow, the defenders of
whitfh are being turned on the south
side. The morale of our troops is ex
cellent. ''

COMPLICATIONS
ARE EXPECTED
Law Requires That Stickers Be Used ou
December I and Provides Heavy
Penalty—Blame Is Placed on Wash
ington
Albhougjl the law goes into effect to
morrow requiring the use of United
States interna] revenue stumps in pay
ment of the emergency revenue or war
tax, none of the required stamps axe
as yet in the city, ami the probability
is t'hat there will be none here to meet
the demand when it begins tomorrow
morning.
"The'reason that we cannot get the
stamps, ' said the internal revenue
collector at the Federal building this
afternoon, "is because of a delay in
manufacture at the Bureau of Engrav
ing and Printing at Washington. The
government cannot supply all of its of
fices in time for the opening of the
stamp sale."
The law provides a heavy penalty for
failures to comply with the |vrovisions
of the a t requiring the use of the new
stamps. an 1 no exceptions are made. If
persons who are require ! by law to use
! the stamjvg to morrow do not do so. be
! cause there are no stamps here to sup
' plv them, some interesting complica
j tions may develop.
! The Pennsylvania railroad in an an
nouncement it issued on Saturday, said
that tiie revenue stamps would be on
sale at all postoffices, and that, for con
voniemce „f pwtrons, Hie railroads 's
agents would also handle the sth'kers.
| It appears. u|*>n inquiry at the local
postoffioe, that this statement was the
first word Post matter Sites had re
ceived that he was to have a supply of
the stamps on hand, and he at once
wrote to Washington for instructions.
He has not yet received a reply, and
there will be no revenue stamps on sale
at Ihe | ostottice to-morrow.
The Pennsylvania railroad has not as
yet received a supply of the stickers
and, although every bill of lading, man
ifest and evidence of receipt which it
handles to-morrow must, by law, bear
, a revenue stamp, neither its agents nor
patrons, it seems, will be in a position
to comply with the law.
At the Internal Revenue office in the
Federal building this afternoon the in
formation was given out that the new
stamps would be handled at that office
—when they arrive. Xo supply is as
yet available there, however, due to
: the limited supplv in Washington, and
it is thought unlikely that any of the
stamps will be on hand there to-morrow.
The tax receivers are of the opinion
that if t'hey have no stamps they will
have to devise some provisional scheme
of their own for receipting tax pay
ments until the government "s official
labels arrive.

of a commission to attempt to bring the j
operators and miners together. The com
mission is composed of Seth Low of
New Vork; Charles W. Mills, of Phila

tied with the settlement of labor trou- I
bles.
The commission will not deal with '
the present differences between the
operators and miners in the Colorado !
coal fields, but will attempt to settle i
similar disputes in the future. Efforts
to bring about a settlement of the [ires- \
ent strike by an agreement between the
operators and miners, it is announced,
will be continued by the federal medi
ators who have been endeavoring for i
some time to adjust the controversy.
They are Hvwel Davies and W. ii.

The President in a statement an ]
nouneing the appointment of the com
mission reviewed in detail the various!
steps taken by the federal government
to bring about a settlement of the pres- j

SEEK TO CHANGE THEIR PLEA
Wm. Rockefeller, Standard Oil Million

i
New Vork, Nov. 30. —William Kocke

sought to-day permission of the Fed
eral Court to change his plea to the in
dictment charging him and twenty oth
j er former directors of the New York,
j New Haven and Hartford Railroad
Company with criminal violation of the
anti-trust law. Mr. Rockefeller filed a
; plea in abatement last Monday. Mr.
Rockefeller was joined in his applica
j tion by Robert W. Taft, Charles A.
i Brooker, William Skinner and James S.
j Klton.
In their application to Judge Ses
sions, the defendants did not indicate
; the nature of the plea they had in
■ mind but simply asserted their desire
j to file a substitute plea.
Under the plea in abatement, they
I sought to have the indictment dismissed
!on the grounds that it was defective.
I The alleged defection consisted of the
! fact that one of the court officials con
nected with drafting the indictment
was a resident of New Jersey instead
of New Vork.
Applications for permission to change
their pleas were made also by I). New
i ton Barney, Frederick E. Brewster, llen
j ry K. McHarg and George F. Baker.
A vigorous argument against the
granting of such permission was made
| by Assistant Attorney General Swacker.
| Judge Sessions granted permission to
! all nine men to change their pleas. Sub
i stitute pleas were not offered at once,
however, and argument proceeded on
the original pleas in abatement.

Keen Competition Springs Up at Stough
Tabernacle During the Contrib
uting Yesterday
Between $5,000 and $5,500 was
raised in the Stough tabernacle yester
day, morning, afternoon and evening,
toward the wiping out of the $19,000
budget. The entire morning was de
vote i to the receiving of contributions,
anil special efforts were made to re
ceive large collections at the other
meetings of the day. Since the total
amount of money needed lias not been
raised, it will be necessary to take col
lections this week, according to Dr.
Stough.
A spirit of competition began at the
evening meeting while contributions
were being received, when the ushers
and door-keepers sent to the platform
a purse of nearly two hundred dollars.
The choir, jealous of its reputation in
the matter of liberal giving, promptly
pledged two hundred dollars and pro
eeeded to raise the amount. The ushers
then raised their sum, in consequence
of which the choir announced through
its chieftain, Professor Spooner, that it
would give $250.
Other joint contributions came from
the policemen on duty at the taber
nacle, from the orchestra and from the
reporters.
