London.- Park and forth, In slgzas
style, a.Diig tho course of the Yser be
tween NUtp;.rt, cn the North Sea, and
Dixmude, 15 miles to the south, the
tide of battle ebbed and flowed duy
upon day without any marked change
In the positions of the Allies and the
Germans belli effected.
Gen. Joffre's despatches, however,
strengthen the belief that the German
attack In Flanders and France has
passed the crest of power and is slow
ly weakening,
The French official reports were
more favorable than at any time since
the German armies began their new
advance fifteen days ago after the oc
cupation of Ostend. The Kaiser's
troops were not merely checked, but
were hurled back.
The All! gained ground in Bel
glum to the north and east of Ypres,
driving a wedge further northward be
tween the German forces near the
coast and forces operating from Ghent
and Brussels. The Allies outfought
the Germans and advanced in the re
glou of La Basse, the point for many
days of incessant and violent effort
by the Germans to cut the Allied line
in two. Elsewhere a'.ofg the west
flank the Allied line remains unbreak
able. The official statement that the Ger
man onslaught Is moderating, togeth
er with unoincial despatches asserting
that the Germans cannot maintain
their attack, warrants the conjecture
lhat the Russian victories In Poland,
the advances of the French in Lor
raine and Alsace and tremendous
losses In killed and wounded in Bel
gium and northern Frace are compell
ing the Germans once more to aban
don an offensive campaign and are
forcing them to prepare to defend
their own territory. It Is reported
lhat the Invaders have lost 16.000 kill
ed and 30,000 wounded in Belgium
slone, while their losses in France,
especially near La Basse, Lille and
Arras, have been enormous.
The dwindling of their chances in
Belgium produced the new attempt to
break through the Allied line In the
old centre, in the Craonne region.
The news from the battle line north,
fast and south east of Verdun con
tinues to be favorable to the French
and has an Important bearing on the
situation In tho north. The French
moved forward in an effort to envelop
the German force holding St. Mlhlel,
and maintained a threatening move
ment toward Metx.
The Austrian ofllclul reports tell of
fieavy fighting in Polund south of Ivan
'gorod and the capture of 10,000 Rus
sians. They also declare the Servians
and Montenegrins have been driven
out of Bosnia with great loss.
The British Government Is greatly
worried over tho rebels In South Afri
ca having been Joined by Generals
De Wet and Beyers, but Insists the re
volt will soon be wiped out.
An official statement Issued in Lon
don announces that Premier Bo
tha, commanding the troops of tho
Union of South Africa, has routed the
command of rebels under General
Beyers and captured 80 prisoners.
LONG TRAINS OF WOUNDED.
Geneva, vli Paris. Telegrams re
ceived in Basle, Switzerland, from
Cologne and Coblenx declare that the
war on the German right flank from
Lille to the North Sea has become a
massacre. Hurlng six days, it is de
declared, many thousands of Germans
havo been killed or wounded.

BERLIN. According to re
ports printed In Swiss newspa
pers the French losses on the
line between Toul and Verdun
since the taking of Camp des
Romains by the Germans have
been more than 43,000 men.
The same report says that the
French officers are complaining
of the Inferior quality of the
new French troops.
It Is stated officially here that
English newspapers estimate
the Belgian losses In th fight
ing along the Yser Canal at
10,000 men.

business transactions, raises to $4.50
the price of licenses to curry revolvers
from $10 to $F,0 for the sale of
weapons and knives, and Increases tho
price of licenses for the use of motor
cars and motorbeats.
Long trains containing wounded
continue to pour Into Cologne, Dusstl
dorf, and Coblenx, and the Red Cross
doctors and the hospitals In those
places are overwhelmed, It Is stated.
The effort to forco the Allies' lines
cost the Germans heavily. One cor
respondent estimates their losses dur
ing the past few days of continuous
fighting at 14,000 a day. The Hotter
dam correspondent of the Pally Mall
telegraphs that during the recent
heavy fighting the Germans lost nearly
50,000 men. The Allies' loss, too, has
been severe. Tho Belgians are bo
Heved to have lost 12,000 men In the
recent fighting. The Belgians were
always in the thickest of the fight.
The British casualty report says that
seventy-four officers are dead, wound
ed or mlsBlng In the recent fighting.
A despatch from Berne, Switzerland,
asserts that the Germans are receiv
ing large reinforcements' In Alsace
and that the French are making great
preparations for an attack on Bel
fort, which Is powerfully intrenched.
A Central News despatch from
"Northern France" states that the Ba
varian Crown Prince had eight full
army corps, about 320.000 men, with
which to force tlie passage along the
sea coast. These troops were con
stantly reinforced. Their losses have
been frightful, the despatch states.
Regarding the fighting the corre
spondent states that the situation
looked desperate for the Allies.
A Central News dispatch from Am
sterdam says that the Germans are
strongly reinforced and are making
another effort to cross the Yser Canal.
A German officer is quoted as saying
that his men have already crossed
the canal seven times and were com
pelled each time to retreat. At sev
eral points along the canal, the bodies
of Germans killed In action were used
as bridges for the crossings.
Teutons Now Fear
an Extended War
German Press Admits It May Last
Longer Than Expected Urges
Husbanding of Wheat Supply.
Amsterdam. The German semi-official
press has changed its mind and
admits that war Is likely to last
longer than it originally thought.
The North German Gazette In a
long article regarding the maximum
prices of provisions urges the necessi
ty to husband the wheat resources.
The newspaper estimates Germany
has enough corn for bread for the
army and the population until the
next harvest, but it adds the war may
last longer, and the Germans must
be able to hold out until lasting peace
Is brought about.
After repeated repulses In their des
perate effort to establish themselves
on the Channel coast, the Germans are
now massing troops on the line be
tween Dixmude and N leu port.
They have about 250.000 men' fight
ing for the road to Calais, and prob
ably another 100,000 are on the way to
reinforce them Immediately. ' The
artillery Is particularly strongly rep

Austria Feeling
War's Disasters
Every Available Vienna Building Tak
en for Wounded Soldiers Beg
In Streets Capital Is
Full of Misery.
Rome. Information from Austria
reveals unimagined seriousness.
The military losses not only have
been great, but disease is spreading
while the populace Is apathetic. Enor
mous, almost inconceivable, Is tho
loss of life suffered by the Austrian
Army.
An evil spirit seems to have ren
dered the Austrian Army impotent
from the very commencement of hos
tilities. The first Austrian advance
Into Russian Poland, resulted in a hor
rib'.o catastrophe for the Invaders.
Only six weeks after the declaration
of war Vienna alone took under its
auspices no fewer than 60,000 wound
ed, and it as calculated thut In those
six weeks the Austrian Army had loitt
200iOC men in killed and wounded.
From then onward not a single day
has elapsed without bringing news of
a sanguinary skirmish.
In one encounter of minor Impor
tance at the end of September the
Austrian Army emerged with the colos
sal total of 20,000 fallen. This was
due to a tragic error. The Austrlans,
left without ammunition and stationed
in an open position, hoisted white
flags. T! Russians did not see them
and continued to decimate the Aus
trlans with their mitrailleuses for sev
eral hours.
Austria was entirely unprepared for
such gigantic losses. Vienna has con
sequently had to be converted into a
gigantic hospital. All the public and
private hospitals, barracks, and
schools became overfilled, but this did
not suffice, and theatres and offices
were occupied for this purpose. It
was still Inadequate. Then were in
vaded the Museum, the great Rotunde
of the world-renowned Prater Park,
where elegant spectacular ballets were
performed, the gay palaces of the
great Viennese exhibitions, and all
other available accommodations.
The life of the city is nearly alto
gether crushed by this painful mass of
mutilated humanity.
The hospitals are beginning to run
short of chloroform, and as a result
many operations are performed with
out anaesthetics.
Convalescent soldiers wander like
vagabonds through the streets, cloth
ed in uniforms and still bandaged,
begging alms. They are hungry, they
ask for food, warm apparel, under
clothing, and walking sticks.
All the stocks have been exhausted.
There is no more leather for boots.
There is a shortage of shirts and jack
ets. One sees reservists on sentry
duty with ropes around their waists
instead of leather belts.
Together with the wounded arrive
long processions of cholera and dysen
tery invalids, all from the Gallclan
frontier. The medical figures for Vi
enna Indicate 100 dead dally from this
malicious epidemic.
FINAL WAR
BULLETINS
The French War, Office announces
that the German attacks on the
front In Belgium appear to be mod
erating. The German cruiser Emden has sunk
a small Japanese steamer en route
for Singapore.
Berlin reports that the Belgians have
been reinforced, but the German at
tacks are being pushed.
The German official report admits
that the German and Austrian
forces have been compelled to re
tire from Russian Poland before
fresh Russian troops.
An official Berlin report said the battle
in Belgium was proceeding with
''stubbornness." It was announced
that one of the British warships
had been set afire by the German
shells.
Russian Generals said the Germans
lost at Warsaw because they delay
ed their attack after their brilliant
and unexpected advance.
Gen. Baron von Ardenne, formerly
attached to the War Office in Ber
lin, predicted the capture of Calais
and other channel ports, which, he
said, would open the way to a pos
sible Invasion of England.
Another rebellion has broken out In
South Africa, led by Gen. Christian
de Wet and Gen. Christian Frede
rick Beyers, In the Orange Free
State and Western Transvaal. Hell
bron has been seized, and the Gov
ernment officials taken prisoners.
Berlin reported officially that the Brit
slh fleefhad been driven off by
the German artillery on the Belgian
coast and that three of them had
been struck. The Germans admit
ted the defense of the Allies was
obstinate.
The French War Office reported that
the Germans who crossed the Yser
River had been halted and that the
Allies held their positions against
attacks In France.

War Horrors Along
Yser Baffle Reporters'
Descriptive Powers
London. The "News" reporter who
has been in an armored train to the
banks of the Yser, gives a good
description of the battle in the north.
He says:
"The battle rages along the Yser
with frightful destruction of life. Air
engines, sea-engines, and land-engines
deathsweep this desolate country ver
tically, horizontally, and transversely.
Through it the little frail human en
gines crawl and dig, walk and run,
skirmishing, charging, and blunder
ing In the little Individual fights and
tussles, tired and puzzled, ordered
here and there, sleeping where they
can, never washing, and dying unno
ticed. A friend may And himself fir
ing on a friendly force and few are
to blame.
"First the Germans were driven
back over the Yser; then they secured
a footing again, and next day they
were again hurled back. Now a bridge
blown up by one side Is repaired by
the other; it Is again blown up by
the first, or left as a death trap till
the enemy is actually crossing.
"Action by armored trains, some
of them the most reckless adventures,
are attempted dally. Each day ac
cumulates an unwritten record of in
dividual daring feats, accepted as part
of the daily work. Day by day our
men push out on these dangerous ex
plorations, attacked by shell fire, In
danger of cross fire, dynamite, and
ambuscades, bringing a priceless sup
port to the threatened lines. As the
armored train approaches the river
under shell fire the car cracks with
the constant thunder of guns aboard.
It Is amazing to see the angle at
which the guns can be swung.
"And overhead the airmen are busy
venturing through fog and puffs of
exploding shells to get one small fact
of information. We used to regard
the looping of the loop of the Ger
mans overhead as a hare-brained piece
of impudent defiance to our Infantry
fire. Now we know it means early
trouble for the infantry.
"Besides us, as we crawl up sniffing
the lines like dogs on a scent, grim
trainloads of wounded wait sound
lessly In the sidings. Further up the
line ambulances are coming slowly
back. The bullets of machine guns
begin to rattle on our armored coats.
Shells we learned to disregard, but
the machine gun Is the master in this
war.
" 'A brisk day,' remarks the cor
respondent. 'Not so bad, replies the
officer. So the days pass."

Germany, he declared, must
be humbled and humiliated
"She must lose the whole of

Vienna. Vienna is a city of lost
bope, of gloom, of gray despair.
The once gayest und most beautiful
capltxl of Europe Is today the saddest,
the must distressed. Silent, hopeless
protests against the horrors of war
which have turned this wonderful,
Joyous city Into a melancholy sepul
cher for tho living, permeates every
stratum of society.
I havo seen a procession of 4,000
mothers, whose husbands Iinvo died In
Gallcla, carrying In their arms their
fatherless babes. They filed past the
great cold palace of the ministry of
war. It was their mute appeal for
peace.
I have seen a procession of little
Children, plaintive and futllo emis

against needless death.
Dazed by War Horrors.
I have ueon trains arriving, every

of these maimed and mutilated, sick

uncomprehending soldiers, dazed by
the horrors of war, crazed with Joy at
being home again, dragged from their
companions and placed under arrest.
Their crime? Why, they cried out In
the delirium of excitement their
curses against the Russians who had
brought such terrlblo defeat to the
Austrian armies. For no news must
be whispered by the wounded or the.
fugitive which reflects the truth of
Austrian disasters.
And above these vlsuul pictures of
the melancholy Vienna of today, I
have sensed the touch of those gray
wings of dread which cast their
shadow over the town tie soiled, the

Seventy Thousand Now In Hospitals.
In Vienna today 70,000 wounded are
being cared for In hospitals, schools,
universities, hotels, churches. The
Red Cross admits its inability to care
for all the wounded, and the sight of
helpless men, suffering needlessly and
hopelessly, la one which confronts
the worker in the cause of humanity.
In all Europe there does not exist
today another capital where the pub
lic is treated so inconsiderately lu re
gard to war news. The newspapers
publish nothing save the official state
mentsand their "news" con . be
guessed at.
Arrests are made hourly of Vlen
nose who whisper words of Austrian
defeat Spies are everywhere.
In a cafe on the Praterstrasse I sat
In a nervous crowd and saw whisper
ing refugees from Galicla passing
their story on, furtively and fearfully.
Suddenly I saw a young man whose
pale face told of recent Buffering de
serted by his companion, who went to
the door, whispered to an otficor and
departed. In a moment the fugitive
was arrested. He bad talked to a
spy.
Talks to Young Mother.
At the same station where the In
coming trains bring new misery for
gay Vienna that was I talked with a
young mother whose husband luy dead
on the battlefield. She had (led to
the capital to plead with the govern
ment which had taken her husband
and robbed her children of a fnther
for means of support and some of the
necessaries of life. She told In pa
tient, resigned tones of her sufferings
in bringing her three children from
Gallcla, where her home was to be
her haven no longer, and where blood
ran deep in the garden beds which
she had tended so faithfully waiting
the return of her husband.
"When we arrived at the frontier,"
she said, "the scenes were awful. We
wereherded like animals and were
treated worse than we treat our dogs.
I was days in securing a pluce In the
trains because I had no money. There
was a police officer on the train; and
he demanded our passports, such
money as we had, and when we could
show neither he refused for days to
let us go on."
The natural impulse of those fugi
tives here is to speak of the evil days
which have befallon them, of their
losses and the carnage and they can
not understand why they are arrested
for it.
Moves Citizens to Despair.
The sight of automobiles carrying
wounded Boldlers past the brilliant
Hof theater, past tho opera, past the
gothlc splendor of St. Stephens, whore
formerly gay cars sped on, bent on
pleasure, Is one that moves the Vi
ennese to despair.
I talked to one of these wounded
soldiers as the car In which ho was
boing carried was stopped in front of
the Burg theater for repairs. He told
me fa whispers, while the guards were
busy with the car, of the frightful
ravages made by the Russians and
the Servians upon the Austrlans.
"They have burled our dead In
heaps," he said, tears coursing down
his face. "They were killed like
sheep driven to a slaughter yard. The
Russian artillery has done unbeliev
able things. The Russians waste their
ammunition as though It were free as

HESSIAN PRINCE SHOT
IN BACK, SAY ALLIES
By HAROLD ASHTON.
(International News Borvlce.)
Calais. Hospitals, both In the field
and at the base, are full of work just
now, for the fighting that Is going
on Is fierce and reckless.
Troops upon entering a small vil
lage, held strenuously for several days
by the Prussians, came upon the body
of Prince Max of Hesse. He had
been dead three days. The body had
been stripped of everything but the
tunic and socks and waa marked with
Ave revolver wounds made from be
hind. The tale Is whispered that be
was the victim of his own soldiers.
A rough coffin of real boards was
made for the boy he was little more
than that and then for three long
days the body lay In an outbuilding
of a small farmhouse. The body now
has been sent Into the German lines.
Continual night fighting has been
going on. The nights have been des
perately cold, but the men and horses
of the allies have a splendid supply
of blankets and good, hot food Is
turned out smoking from the travel
ing field kitchens.

in filthy back streets, on steamboats
and on fishing boats.
