(in Hit- Iielglan battle front.
London. In the terrific attack by
(Prussian Guard on the UrltUh forces
defending Vpres the Kaiser's troops
broke the opposing line at three
points, although they wera not able
to penetrate to trie town.
This fact became known with the
Issuance of the following communl
latlon by the Official Press Dureau:
"A very severe attack against the
j.ortton of the line held by the First
Army Corps before Ypres was deliver
ed by a Prussian Guard corps. The
nemy made an especial effort on this
occasion to break the line, which they
hoped had been weakened already by
attacks of Infantry of the line. The
farts, briefly, are as follows:
"Our troops were subjected to the
heaviest bombardment that we have
yet experienced, from dawn for three
hours. This was at once followed up
by an assault In force, carried out by
the First and Fourth Brigade of the
Prussian (iuard Corps. It Is under
tood that these picked troops had
been brought up specially to act
against us, in order to force their way
through at points where previous ef
forts, made by Infantry of the line,
iad failed.
"The attack was pressed with the
greatest bravery and determination.
Owing to the gallantry of our troops
and their splendid resistance against
great odds, the attempt to penetrate
to Ypres was repulsed, but the weight
of the enemy's advance enabled them
to break through our lines at threa
points. They were, however, held
Vmck and prevented from gaining fur
ther ground.
"An immense loss had been Inflicted
on the Germans, 700 of their dead hav
ing been found on the ground behind
our front trendies alone. The casual
ties suffered by them in advancing
up to our line under direct and enfilad
ed Are must have been enormous. Our
casualties also were heavy.
"The action of our troops on this
as well as on previous occasions can
never be praised too highly."
RUSSIAN VICTORY IN POLAND.
Vetrograd. The Army Messenger
announced that the Russian army had
won another big victory over the Ger
mans near Kalicz, In western Poland.
The Germans were forced to retreat,
.it ..v Mhsndnninz thousands of dead
on the battlefield, and the Russians
captured twelve howitzers
These guns are believed to be part
ef the heavy artillery with which the
Germans had planned to butter the
4ortiacatlons of Warsaw and Ivan
gored. Their loss is likely to prove a
vere handicap to the Kaiser's army.
Kalicz Is only a few miles east of
ithe border of Posen and forms part
of the line of defense to which the
Germans retired arter their unsuccess
ful drive toward the Vistula. It Is on
the Prosna River.

at from 150,000 to 200,000 men, has

Parls.-The end of the fourth week
of the terrlfiic Battle of Flanders saw
the Germans once more turn the fa
mous and formidable Prussian guard
on the British in the hope of winning
their vay through to the coast.
The last French Government report

of Germans captured with the great

Mowed Down in Fierce
British Forces
Ypres, the defence of which will cer
tainly be reckoned in history as one
of the most striking episodes in the
annals of the British army.
For more than three weeks that po
sition, which projects like a bastion in
the enemy's lines, lias been held un
der a rain of shells which hus hardly
ceased day or night. During this time
the enemy has poured successive
waves of infantry against the British,
only to boo them broken to pieces.
According to German officers wno
have fallen Into the hands of the Al
lies about 600,000 Germans were fight
lng against the Allies at the beginning
of the great battle on the Yser. The
German casualties the officers them
selves put at 90,000, from which It
ran be assumed that actually their
losses run well Into six figures.
In one case a regiment of Infan
terie de Marine, 1,800 strong, had only
eighty men left, while the great move
ment on the Ypres made the losses
among the officers extraordinarily
heavy, including Ave generals killed.
The Germans continue to destroy
bridges and railways in Belgium, but
their object remains a secret. It Is
thought, however, that they are mak
ing preparations to winter in that
country and are taking every step to
prevent their plans becoming known
to the Allies.

Sydney Drove
Emden Ashore
in 80 Minutes
Australian Cruiser Kept Out of
Range and Shot Antagonist to
Pieces-Was Hit by Only
Two Shells
London. The Daily Chronicle's cor
respondent at Keeling, in the Cocos
Islands, Frederick Pollock, who was
an eye-witness of the destruction of
tho German cruiser Emden by the Aus
tralian cruiser Sydney, cables a Uu
tailed account of the affair.
The islands are Inhabited only by
Malays, except for the staff of the
Eastern Telegraph Company's cable
and wireless station on Direction Isl
and, one of the group, and the de
scendants of June Clunles Ross, a
Scottish naval officer who settled In
the h lands and founded a line of "un
crowned kings" some ninety years
ago.
Little news of the war reached tile
Islands except official bulletins, which
were relayed through the cable sta
tion. Then came a rumor that the
cable company was sending rifles and
orders that the beach should be pa
trolled to guard against Germans who
might come and try to rut the cable
and destroy the wireless station. Sing
apore later Informed the islands that
a German cruiser was on the way to
ward them, but except for one of the
cable operators seeing what he
thought were searchlights at sea one
night toward the end of August, noth
ing came of this report.
The Emden, with four funnels the
fourth obviously merely a painted can
vas dummy arrived at full speed at
the entrance of the lagoon at 6 o'clock
in the morning. She flew no flog, and
this fact together with the dummy fun
nel, aroused the suspicions of the ca
ble staff.
Cable Instrument Wrecked.
The cruiser immediately lowered an
armored launch and two boats, and
landed three officers and forty men,
fully armed and equipped with four
Maxim guns. The Germans rushed
to the cable station, expelled the op
erators, smashed the Instruments, con
fiscated the weaoons of the staff and
put armed guards in all the buildings.
In sDlte of the excitement outside,
work went on as usual in the cable of
fice until the Germans rushed In, and
a general call for help was sent out
Just before the wireless station was
blown up.
The Germans were most civil, hut
nut the staff under armed guards.
while the instruments were destroyed.
There was no brutality or pillaging.
Meanwhile the crew of the launch
crannied for the cables, but failed to
cut them. The electrical store then
were blown up.
The Emden' siren blew at 9 o'rlock
and the Germans on shore hurried to
the boats, but the Emden started Im
mediately, leaving the boats behind.
The appearance (Tf a warship to the
eastward coming at full speed In pur
suit explained tho departure. The
ship turned out to be tho Sydney.
Tho Emden fired the first shot at
a range of about 3,700 yards while
steaming north at her highest speed.
The Emden's firing at first seemed
excellent and the Sydney' rather er
ratic. It wn learned afterward that
the latter was due to the fact that
the Sydney's rangefinder had been
put out of action by one of the two
shots the Emden got home.
Emden Set on Fire.
The Sydney's gunners soon over
came the difficulties caused by the
smashing of the rangefinder and be
fore long two of the Emden's funnels
had been shot away. Her mast was
lost at the beginning of the fight.
The cruisers disappeared over tihe
horizon, both firing their big guns.
Tho Emden was afire aft.
The landing party, which had start
ed out for the Emden, returned to
shore and lined up on the shore of
the lagoon, evidently ready to fight if
the Sydney sent men ashore, hut, both
cruisers having disappeared, tho Ger
mans at fi o'rlock in tho evening em
barked on the old schooner Ayesha,
belonging to Mr. Ross, the present
"uncrowned king" of the Island, took
clothes and stores and sailed for an
unknown destination.
The Sydney returned the next morn
ing and anchored at 8:45 o'clock.
From accounts given by the crew It
seems that tho Sydney, being tho
speedier, kept out of range, of the
Emden's guns, bombarding her with
heavier artillery. The engagement
lasted flighty minutes. The Emden

According to tho directory ballot, thf
age, residence, occupation, education

appear immediately beneath the name
of each candidate. A candidate's age
would, said Mr. Dunlap, denote his ex

represent his moral attitude, and the
public offices previously held signify
