' mi f GERMAN RETAKE FRENCH FORTRESS Urn's Facts Captors Dixnudi, Wkkb h Ot Tkt Direct loatf Ti SlICMSt CRUISER EMDEN DESTROYED OrMt Britain Elated Over Destruction and Capture Of Marauding Veeaela Returning their attack on the allies, (be Germans report they have recap tured Dlxmude, which, the Berlin of ficials declare, gives them an open road to Dunkirk, an Important French port, which baa been one of the chief ob jective points of the war. Dlxmude has been the center of some of the moat sanguinary fighting of the cam ??>algn. .. ; Great Britain la very elated over the news that the German cruisers Emden and Konlgtl-erg have been put out of commission. These cruisers tor the past month have been a great menace to British shipping In the In dian waters, and it has been reported In London that no less than 22 Eng lish merchantmen have been sunk" or captured by these German warships. For more than a week about forty British, Australian and Japanese fight ing ships have been scouring the southern seas In search of these Ger man scourges. ' The- German cruiser Emden was located In the eastern wa ters of the Indian ocean, and after a short fight was driven ashore and burned. The Konigsberg was located In nearby waters by an allied war ship. A chase followed In which the German ship took refuge In a harbor. The entrance of the harbor was then blockaded, bottling tbb'Oermaa ship in Its haven of refuge. Turkey's advent Into the war also puts a new phase Into the situation. It Is freely predicted that If Germa ny falls to win, the Ottoman empire will be vanquished by the allied forces. For nearly a half century Tur key has come out of one defeat only to be launched Into another war which ends in defeat. This has resulted In a reduction In the Turkish territory, especially In Europe, until It Is now one of t?e smallest countries on the continent. To hold their enemies and at the same time Indict the greatest losses possible, seems to be the campaign the allies are carrying against the Germans In the north of Prance and, In Belgium. For weeks the great forces of the German empire have been pounding away at the allied ranks trying with desperation to break' through their lines and force an open ing to the French coast. But it has all been In vain. Added to the ir reslsttble strength of the allies the Ger mans had to light in" a flooded territory. It was too much for them and they were forced to retreat. Another attempt Is now being made by the Germans to forqp their way through the region surrounding Ypres. It seems to be the last chance the Germans will have, and they must eith er succeed or retreat back through Belgium. When the siege on Raris failed, the kaiser, It is said, resolved to begin a campaign on England. For this purpose the control of the French and Belgian coast was necessary. Ant werp was taken and the German forces moved on to the Belgian coast. But all was lost when they failed to reach the French coast. Much interest Is being manifested in the campaign in the east. With the Great Russian hordes threatening the richest region of Germany with inva ' slon, military experts are wondering what will be the next move of the Germans. According to the latest re ports the Russians have advanced as far as the Warthe river, in Russian Poland, and are now on the border jpf East Prussia. The Germans are said to have retreated Into East Prus-' sla. In the east of Eakt Prussia the Russians are also said to have made much headway. Witt) the Russians closing in from two directions the Ger man forces In Prussia are facing a serious dilemma. Concessions Offered Roumania Venice.?It is stated here that Count Tisza, the Hungarian premier, has promised political concessions to Roumanians in Austria in return for Roumania's aid in the war. Among the concessions alleged to have been promised are complete amnesty for all political offenders, permission to use and display the Roumanian national colors, a revision of the franchise, which will assure to Roumanians ade quate representation in elective bod ies and in parliament and a reform of school laws. Lody, German Spy, Shot London.?It 1* officially announced that Carl Hans Lody, alias Charles A. lnglis, Who was found guilty by a courtmartial of espionage November t, has been sbot as abpy. When ar rested, Lody claimed to be an Amer ican, but later confessed he was a German. He had lived In New York and Omaha. In the latter city he mar ried the daughter of Gottlieb Stori, a brewer, who later divorced him. Lody met his death In the Tower of London after he- was found guilty by court martial. Marriages Increase During War London.?Notwithstanding the de parture of young men to the war, marriages in England and Wales for the quarter ending October 1 were I t per ee^t greater than the mean rate tor the' ten preceding quarters, the rate per thousand being 17.4. The same period the birth rata was I S per cent below tbe mean rale of the period named, and .the death rate was ?J below the mean average. WAR MAKES STRANGE TENTMATES German Cruiser* Are Captured London.?The British navy cot Into the war picture with two successes? the destruction of the German cruiser Emden, iq the eastern waters of the Indian ocean, and the bottling up of the Konigsberg, considered her sister ship, in kthe western extremity of the same sea. These two raiders, especially the Emden, hare many successes to their credit and their skill In evading the net thrown out for them has been a matter of chagrin to British naval men. The Emden's end came In battle as befitted ber record throughout recent hlsto:y, for, according to all accounts, even those of her victims, she played a clean game, strictly in accordance with the recognized rule of naval war fare. After a sharp action off Coed* Island with the Australian cruiser Sydney, the German ship, with heavy casual ties, "was beached, ablaze. The tier man cruiser Konigsberg met a less glorious fate, as she was bottled up In such a position that she must either be captured or surrendered, though in either case she probably will be nothing but-a useless hulk. ' The cruiser Chatham, which ran 'down the Konigsberg In the river op^ poslte the Island of Mafia, German East Africa, Is a .sister-ship of the Sydney, which closed the career of the Emden. ^-iJ. Both the Emden afid the Konigsberg have the destruction of warships to their credit, as well as the sinking of many merchant ships. The Emden sank the Russian cruiser Jemtchug and a French torpedo boat destroyer off Penang, while the Konlgsberg's guns made a hulk of the British light cruiser Pegasus at Zanzibar, In the middle of September,. With the exception of Admiral von Spec's squadron In the Pacific, all the oceans are now believed to be free of German cruisers, and the British ad miralty already has Informed the coun try that adequate measures have been taken to deal with the victors of the recent battle off the Chilean coast. German' Ships Destroyed .Tokio, yapan.?After desperate as saults, in , which the Japanese, In the face of heroic resistance, rivaled the bravery of their forces at Port Ar thur, Tslbg-Tau surrendered, Gov. Mey er-Waldeck, after the hoisting of white flags on the forts, sent an officer with a flag of truce to the Anglo-Japanese lines. j _ The Japanese and German officers opened a conference at Moltke bar racks when the formalities of capitu lation were concluded. The Japanese officers highly praise the bravery of the Germans, who fought tenaciously to the last Un official reports are that the Germans blew up what was left (of their forts before surrendering and practically the whole town Is In ruins. England Predicts Long War London.?That England Ib prepared to carry on the war Indefinitely, with every confidence In the result, was the tenor ot the speeches at the annual banquet inaugurating the new lord mayor ot London at Guild Hall, deliv ered by the men responsible for the conduct of the war. Notable speeches were made by the prime minister, H. H. Asqutth, field Marshal Earl Kitch ener, secretary tor war, and Winston Spencer Churchill, first lord of the ad miralty. _. '; ? . Lo?t British Warships Sighted Santiago. Chile.?The British cruiser Glasgow, which was engaged with the German squadron In battle off the Chilean coast Sunday, November 1, and the British transport Otranto have passed Delgada Point light In the Ctratts ot Magellan, bound for the Fal kand Islands, a British possession east of the extreme southern point of South America. The Information Is contain ed In advices received llere by the ad miralty from naval authorities la the Straits of Magellan. Japs May Fight In Europe Toklo.?Since the fall-of the German position at Tslng-Tau the question of Japan's sending an army to Europe has begun to attract Increasing atten tion. .The Idda-flnds considerable sup port in military circles, 1,000 Prisoners TSVbn London?A Renter dispatch from Kiev, Russia, says: Three thousand German and Austrian prisoners. In cluding ninety officer, together with fifty guns and several thousand rifles.' capture, hare arrived herd. Russians Advance Into Germany London.?Except for the fall of Tslng Tau, the most significant report from any of the battle fronts?and the moat welcome to the allies?la that the Rus sians, besides driving the Austrlans back In Oallcla, have reacheg the War the river in Russian Poland, and have established themselves on the East Prussian frontier. A Berlin official report says some Russian cavalry crossed the Warthe, but *ere driven back. To tl\ls the Russian report adds that the town of Warta, on the Warthe river, in Po land, has beqn occupied and that a Russian column has proceeded west ward through Csepstochowa, near the Silesian frontier. The Russians, too, are responsible for the report that they have defeated the Germans near Mlawa, in. Poland, just across the East Prussian boun dary and at Lyck in East Prussia. Military observers here say the Russians have followed the retiring Germans at a much taster pace than was anticipated and that if they are In force they may prevent the Ger mans from taking up their new posi tions on tbe Warthe and compel them to fhll back to the Sllealan border. Despite all this, reports persist that the Germ.vns are sending westward large numbers of their troops who have been fighting In Poland to opposo the allies in France and Belgium. Thai they would do this with enormous Russian forces threatening their owh and richest territory military men here say seems highly Improbable unless the Germans are satisfied a shall force can prevent the Russians enter ing SUesia and East Prussia. Allies Fighting Around Ypres In the west the ding-dong fighting continues. The Belgians, who hold the lines along the coast, are being.' given c. comparative rest, after their three months of almost continuous fighting. The Germans still are con centrating around Ypres, where they are trying to hack their tftly through the Anglo-French troops to the coast. Both sides claim to have made prtfe ress here, the Anglo-French forces southeast of the town and the Ger mans southwest. Correspondents in the rear of the armies say the fight ing has not appreciably lessened and that both sides are uslog 'tremendous weight of artillery in an endeavor to clear the ground for an Infantry ad vance. ? Both armies are being reinforced. It seems to be realized that the Germans cannot proceed farther west because of the co-operation of the warships with the land forces and that a route either here or farther south must be found If the Germans are to attain the French posts. Rebels Win In South Africa London.?Gen. Christian De Wet, the rebel leader, says Router's Pretoria correspondent, has been in contact with and dispersed a small govern ment command under General Cronje. Nival Battla It Pending Washington.?Official dispatches of the fall of Tslng-Tau- were received at the Japanese embassy and Interpreted as signalling the beginning of an of fensive movement of the squadrons of warships which have been occupying and blockading Ktao-Chow, which have been released, It is said, to hunt down the German ships In the Pacific. It was stated at the embassy that In all probability a joint occupation of the British snd Japanese forces would take place at Tslng-Tau Immediately. Servians Defeated Near 8habats London.?An official statement la sued in Vienna says: "In the southern war theater, attempts made against the enemy, strongly fortified behind barbed wire entanglements in the dis trict of -Complanlne and south of Sha bats. are progressing slowly. The strategically Important heights of Mi sar were captured and 200 prisoners taken. Some Servian entrenchments were stormed and 1.500 prisoners, four cannon and six machine suns were taken. \ v British Occopy Turkish Port London.?The admiralty announces the occupation of Fao, a port of Asi atic Turkey, at the mouth of the River Shat-el-Arab, in the Persian golf. A military force from India, covered by the sloop Odin, landed. with a naval ? detachment after the Turkish guns had been silenced. Russians Master the Black Sea Rome. Italy ?According to a tele gram from Odessa, the Russia its con tlder themselves absoluts masters of the Black sen. e , ^ . . ETES OF THE WORLD 01 EAST PUSH ALTHOUGH THE GREAT NUMBER OF MEN AT WEIT FLANDERS ARK WATCHED. . . , GERMANS LOSE DIXMUDE Berlin Denies the, French Claims and Assert That the Germans Continue Progress. London.?While the battle In Welt Flanders continues to hold public at tention because ot the desperate char acter of the lighting, the numbers of men engaged and the territory at stage, military men now look on East Prussia as the center' of gravity of the war. In the latter field a tremendous battle is developing. The Hues laps are puehtng rijorously ja' great en veloping movement. They are engag ed with the Germans a/long a wide curve of 160 mllee from Stslluponen, In the Northeast through Qoldap and Kruglaken, -which is well within the tangle of kkee, down to Soldau In the south weet. Military experts say the Germans - apparently have checked their retreat in Poland and are counter-attacking. They say, however, that the Russians are not to be turned from their plan, which to believed to be an attack on Danzig.. They argue that the Oer mans must allow East Prussia to be overrun a second time or bring up re inforcements and that they hardly can weaken their army along the i Polish frontier for that would leave Posen and Silesia open to invasion. The Allies, naturally, are hoping an effort will be made to relieve East Prussia at a sacrifice to the German armies In Belgium territory. In fighting in their own country the Germane will have the advantage over the ^tusalans as they have a network ot atragettc railways to move their troope quickly and they use more motors than their opponents. Military men are watching operations in this region with deepest Interest. In Weet Flanders the Germane do not seem to have .Improved their posi tion to a marked extent. In fact, an' unofficial report from the north of France says they again have lost Diz mude, which they took last Tuesday, that their attempts to break down the British resistance around Ypres have failed and that their attack In the vicinity of La basse has met with no greater success. Tbe German official report again says the German attacks are progress ing and records the capture of prison ers. German attacks have been re pulsed and that an advance has been made by the Allies nearly every where. Vienna also reports that the Aus trian! have turned tnelr attention to the Montenegrins and are endeavor ing to force them fback. According to a Montenegrin report -they have failed. Accounts from this part of the world are so contradictory that the only thing clear to that the Aus trian! have virtually cleared their country of the enemy. England to beginning to learn the cost qf the European war. A white paper issued shows that the govern ment intends to ask Parliament for 61,126,000,000 which with their 1500, 000,000 voted at the last seaion, is ex pected to be Great Britain's blll for the fiscal year ending Marcn 31. Of this sum, however, a small part has been loaned to Belgium and Servta. A portion of tfie money also will be required for the additional million men to be enlisted, who will bring the English regular army up to 2,186,000. These figures do not include the ter ritorials, whj number nearly 600,000. Strenuous Efforts ,by Gsrmsns. London.?The official press bureau Issued the following communication: "A severe attack .against the por tion of the line held by the first army corps before Yprea was delivered on the eleventh by the Prussian Guard Corps. The enemy made an especial effort on this occasion to break the line which they hoped already had been weakened by attacks of infantry of the line. Mi ?' "Our troops were subjected to the heaviest bomlnrdment that we have yet experienced, from dawn for three hours. This was followed up by an assault carried out by the First and Fourth.,. Brigades of the Prussian Guard Corps. It is understood that these picked trqops had been brought up specially to act against us in order to force ^helr way through at points where previous efforts made by the infantry of the line had failed. "The attack was pressed with the greatest bravery and determination. Owing to the gallantry of-oftr troops | the enemy was repulsed. "An immense loss had been Inflicted on the Germans, 7000 ot their dead having been found on the ground be hind our front trenches alone. Their caaulties in advancing up to our line under direct lire must have been enormous. Our casualties also were heavey. Action of out troops on this as well as on previous occasions can not be praised too highly." Dixmude Abandoned by Germans. London.?The correspondent ot the Central Newt In the north of France telegraphs that the Oermans have been driven oat of Dixmude. "The Germane, the correspondent says, "had not long In which to con gratulate themselves on their seizure of the mass of ruins which once was Dixmude. They were sprayed with shrapnel and high explosive shells un til extermination threatened them. The appearance ot French marinee In a bayonet charge rapidly convinced the mthat the death rate would tpe too high tf they remained- JJence Dix mude Is ours again. "The Germans have made a slight advance against Yprea, but It is doubt ful if they hold the vUlage of Staler, very long.? * a TO EVACUATE VERA CRUZ MMIRD JATE SET FOR SOLDIERS OF THE UNITED STATES TO LEAVE MEXICO. CHIEFS PROMISE SAFETY Carranza and Aguaa Calfantaa Con vention Agraa to Tarma Submitted by Department er state. Washington. ? Monday, November 23 was flxed u the date (or the Amer ican evacuation of Vera Crux. Secretary Bryan lsaued thia an nouncement "Both General Carranza and the convention at Agu&s Callentea having given the assurancee and guarantee* requested, it. la the purpose of the Ad ministration to withdraw the troops of the United States from Vera Crux on Monday, the 23d of November. "All the persons there for whoa*, personal safety thia government has made itself responsible have left the city. The priests and nuns who had takeh refuge there and for whose safety fears were entertained, are now on their way to this country." , This statement was given out after a long conference between Mr. Bryan and President Wilson, it apparently was received with surprise in some of ficial quarters, the general understand ing having been that the evacuation might be delayed indefinitely pending reports on the alignment of the va rious Mexican chiefs in the latest civil war. Secretary Bryan declined to add to the formal announcement, saying.de tails would be made* public by the War Department. Secretary Garrison had nothing to say and to Just what authority the port of Vera Cruz would be delivered, was not made plain. Jit has been assumed, however, that aa the United States throughout the Mex ican difficulties has dealt with the de facto authorities actually in control of territory Involved, the city would be turned over to an agent of General Carranza, probably General Candldo Agullar. Aa far as la knbwn there has been no final decision aa to wben and to whom the more than a Jt,000,000 of Mexican customs moneys now held by the Vnjted States shall be paid. Both Carranza and the Aguas Gab lentes convention have given guaran tees that customs duties collected will not be relmposed. In view of the com plications which might arise, however, in the event Carranza, were driven from power by Villa'e army, support ing General Guiterrez. the conven tion'! new provisional President, It has been suggested that payment of the money might be withheld, pending a clarification of the situation.

Cotton Loan Moat Complata. Washington. ? Strong efforts in the last few days to complete the $136, 000,000 ootton loan fond so far hare been unsuccesful. U was said that much depended on Boston end Phila delphia bankers and their participation would Insure the raising of $06,000,000 In non-cotton producing states. This would be within $4,000,000 of the amount required from these states. Officials hope the Nenr Kngland and Philadelphia bankers will contribute the portion allotted to them within a few days.
