LATE WAR SEWS SUMMARY'
Continued From Flrnt Page.
ing armies to the north and south are j
making little, if any progress. The
i possibility of German occupation of!
Warsaw is seen in Petrograd, where it j
is said that if the Russians should with- j
draw front the city for strategic rea-!
sons its capture by the Germans should
not be considered as important.
Entporor Nicholas is again at the
front, having gone on this occasion to
I Transcaucasia, where his troops arc
seeking to thrust back the Turks and
accomplish Russia's historic aim of
planting her flag on the Bosphorus. A;
Turkish report states that an attempt!
| of Russians to land troops on the shore
( of the Black sea near Batum was re
-1 pulsed with heavy loss to the invaders.
Germany is proud of her adventurous
men of war in the hour of their de
■ struction. The Admiralty at Berlin
points out that the warships defeated
by the British in the South Atlantic
had been for four months on the high
seas, deprived of the use of ports for
' obtaining supplies or repairs, notwith- j
standing which they were always able ;
jto obtain coal. The cruiser Dresden, i
last survivor of the Ave warships j
which composed the squadron, is re
j ported to have been bottled up in the
' Straits of Magellan, and hor fate is still 1
in doubt.
Emperor William, announcement of \
| whose illness has been followed by j
; various unauthenticated reports that
; his condition was serious, is said to
I have improved considerably.
Little is known concerning the pres
! ent conflict in France and Belgium, ex
| cept that the fighting is more spirited I
! and that the allies are making broad, J
| though indefinite, claims to success.
I The reported turn in the fortunes of j
i war in Servia, where only recently the
j Austrians were described as pushing the
| defending army to such lengths as to !
1 threaten its destruction, is said in Nish
to be decisive. The claim is made that
! the Austrians are retreating in disorder
! all along the line and that more than
1 ii2,(K»(> prisoners have been taken. j
RULE SAVED COLONEL'S LIFE
Since Boyhood He Carried Extra Glasses
and Assassin's Shot Hit Case
New York, Dec. 11. —Theodore Roose
velt, speaking last night at the Museum
of Natural History on "The Fauna ot
■ Western Brazil," referred to a boyhood
adventure lie once had. When hunting
snowy owls his spectacles were swept
1 off by a twig. From that time, lie said,!
ho made it a rule to carry au extra pair I
of glasses in a steel ease.
• Persons in the audience recalled that 1
w'hen Colonel Roosevelt was shot by an |
assassin in Milwaukee, in 1912, the bul- j
let struck a steel spectacle case iu his I
pocket, which saved his life.
Speaking of the food upon which ]
he subsisted in lira'/.il, Colonel Roose- 1
, velt said:
"Parrots are no-t so bad when they!
[ .ire not tough; but monkey meat—well.
, Mr. 'Homadav could leavo me alone in j
the monkey house at the Bronx Zoo 1
. without any fear of the safety of the
. other inmates."
Colonel Roosevelt also discussed his
, exploration of the River of Doubt.

Description of Scenes
on the Battle Field in
France
HOURS SPENT IN
THE TRENCHES
Race of German Troglodytes Discov
ered, With Men, Horses, Supplies,
1 Etc., Well Protected From Fire of
Enemy in Hillside Caverns
| Headquarters of n Certain German
| Army in France, Dep. 11 (Forwarded
by Automobile Courier to Merlin,
Thence to "London, 4.11 A. M.) —A cor-'
j respondent of the Associated Press,
| spending a week in the field opera
tions, has also been the guest of (Jen
) orals \on Heeringen, formerly War
Minister and now commanding the
Seventh army; Von Zwelil, the capturer
iof Maubeuge, and Von Kmmieh, the
conqueror of Liege and Namur.
Several hours were spent in the
trenches in a picturesque old town
where German riflemen hud French
i legionnaires plan and play grim prac
tical jokes of war ujion each other
| from positions a scant "OO yards apart,
j A race of Germ in troglodytes was
j found in one place on this front. Men,
| horses, supplies, hospitals and so forth
j were housed in hillside caverns, former
ly stone quarries, which were absolute
ly protected by a 50-foot stone roof
from even the most powerful shell fire.
View of Bheiins Cathedral
The morning was passed in an artil
lery observation stand opposite Rhcirns,
where a powerful stereoscopic telescope,
through which the lire of the artillery is
directed, brought the observer within a
| hundred yards of the city and the ca
thedral and enabled him to s?e that the
I cathedral and its towers were standing
| fairly intact, although blackened by
! fire.
I A trip of inspection was made
through a labyrinth of field fortiflca
| tious and approaches along the Aisne at
I its nearest point to Paris, where the
j lines are normally two or three hundred
| yards apart. The soldiers even in the
; foremost trenches wee found living in
I comparative comfort in their under-
I ground shelters. They are well sup
! [died w.ith blankets, food, water and
clothing and are in good spirits, despite
their long residence in the trenches.
Desultory infantry fire is always in
progress here and the rattle of machine
guns breaks out now and then. The ar
tillery on both sides has thrown tons
of iron daily, but there have been no
j great fights of late in, this section of the
i front.
Stacks of Untlireshed Grain
I Of all the impressions of the trip
I one of the most striking is that left
i by the countless stacks of untlireshed
grain, stretching for milea in evefy di
rection throughout this granary of
Northern France. Over a hundred Ger
man threshing machines of the largest
size are working in the region occupied
i by the army and six new ones were eri-
II countered to-day plitgging forward to
! reinforce these harvest batteries which
j are doing work quite as important as
; that of the 42-centimeter cannon. The
| army is not,-only living on the supplies
I of flour ami meat derived from this :<ec
| tion of the country, but is actually
sending wheat and flour back to Ger
many.
German Soldier Well Fed
The German soldier at the front is
smiling and well fed as he has one more
warm meal daily than in peace time.
The lean greyhounds seen after the
■ dash on Parrs are again rounding out
I into portly Germans;
| Tho normal soldier at the front does
I not sing as much as formerly partly,
j perha.ps, because 'he has sung himself
j out and partly because singing in the
j immediate vicinity of the enemy in apt
i to draw fire, but he is neither dis
couraged nor exhausted. There is no in
dication whatever that "his nerves are
■breaking under the strain of the/ pro
> traicited war.
No trip to the front would be com
plete without a visit to the field hos
pital. Health conditions are good, the
surgeons state, even better than in
peace time. There has been considerable
typhoid 'but this is now well in hand,
owing to the vigorous use of the anti
typhoid serum.
Cleaning Out Typhoid Centers
Tho medical department is just now
cleaning out three villages in the im
mediate vicinity of the headquarters
whicih were found to be typhoid cen
' ters. The surgeons are devoting Special
attention to this matter and are isolat
ing or vaccinating the inhabitants of
suspected villages.
The Germans are evidently prepar
ing for an extended occupation. Tho
'French peasants have planted winter
crops and are working in the fields.
The roads are 'being maintained as usual
by French labor and in some cases fac
tories are being reopened.
Schelhas Back to Work
'.Motorcycle Policeman Paul £>i"helhas,
who was operated on at the Hartanan
Hospital three weeks ago, returned to
work this morning. He was injures
some time ago in a fall from his ma
chine, which made tho operat ion neces
sary.
