RUSSIANS GAIN ADVANTAGE IN
GALICIA AND ARK PRESSING
IT?TEUTON8 RETREAT.
ARGONNE REGION IN DOUBT
Garment Claim Succtta In Only Ont
Pslnfc Frtich Retake P??HI?n?
Thty Had Lost
London -?Ths German and Austrian
armlaa are now on the defensive on
the eaet and weat. They have given
up, at least for the present, their effort
to break through the Allied lines
around Ynren, In Belgium, where the
British and French have taken the of
fensive, and, according to the reports
from French headquarters, have com
menced to advance. In the east they
have fallen back over tljelr own fron
tiers In East Prussia and laf Poland,
while Russian cavalry had penetrated
SHesla to the north of Kallsi and cut
the Oerman railway.
The Russians also are following up
their advantage -In Galicia, and It la
aald, have cut the retreating Aus
trian! off from Cracow, while the Ger
mans are retiring through Poland.
At only one point at two battle
fronts do the Germane claim success.
That Is at the west of Argocne region,
where they have taken from the
French an important height near
Vienne-Le-Chaleau.
French troops have re-taken the pot,
altlons which they had lost during
the course of the week. That la nota
J>ly ao In the Alane Valley around Sols
sons, where they have regained the
ground which the Germans by fierce
assaults have tagen from them.
The Belgians, holding the line
reaching to the coast also have made
progress.
The fighting was carried on In a
fog, which Interfered with the work
of the airmen and likewise with the
artillery.
- While the Allies' offensive In the
west has given hope In London that
the Germans will fall back to a Hue
further removed from the sea, all un
easiness has not passed, for they pre
viously have shown wonderful recup
erative powers. The presence of the
Russians In East Prussia and Slleala,
however, will, If Is believed here, pre
vent the Germans from sending any
more troops to the west. If It does n&t
compel them to withdraw some al
ready at that front.
Tho Austrians apparently have sect
stronger force sagalnst Servla and
have driven the Serbs out of Blavonia.
Of what la going on in Bosnia, which
the Servians and Montenegrins Invad
ed almost to the capital, Sarajevo,
nothing has been disclosed for weeks,
but -operations against their northern
border might have had an effect en
the Servians plans there.
Nothing of moment has occurred In
the Near East, but Turkey Is being
attacked In isolated spots by the Rus
sians and British. The Turks also are
apparently comng very elese to war
with Greece, the situation' having
been aggravated by the sinking of a
Greek steamer by the Turk* and the
threatening of Greeks In Asla.Minor.
Neither Bulgaria nor Roumanla baa
yet made any move.
The tlnlon Defense forces contlnile
to round up the rebels In South Af
frica. Those In the northern part of
the province which have bean a worry
to the government have been com
pletely routed, whil those In Trans*
Vail, where another 400 have been
captured, are scattering.
In Orange Free State, however, sev
eral small commandoes have been
looting towns and damaging railways.
Mad* Vigorous Attack.
Pari*.?A Havas dispatch from
Nlah, Servla, ' ?ays: "The enemy
...ade a vigorous attack November 4.
"Southeast and south of Shaba ts., but
by a counter attack we put the Aus
trlans to flight They left 500 dead
and 200 wounded. During the same
night and again on November 6 the
Austrian* attacked our positions at
Borgas and Ooutchevo, but were re
pulsed with heavy casualties."
| St.
Big Russian Victory.
London.?The Rome correspondent
of the Weekly Dispatch says: "Ac
cording to the Russian embassy the
Russians took 30.000 Austrian pris
oners, 200 guns, six tralnloads of sup
plies and 4<M>09 rifles In a victory on
the San In Oallcia. The Russians at
tack on I'rzemysl has been rented
violently. On the East Pmsslan
front thousands of bodies of Geimans
have been burned because the frozen
ground prevents burial. As no arm
Istlc Is granted for the removal of
the wounded many die of cold."
Out After Japanese.
Amsterdam, via London -The Ber
lin Lokal Anzleger commenting on
the fall of Tsing-Tau says: "Germans
will never forget the heroic lighting
at Kiao-Chow and those who defend
ed the colony. Never shall we forget
the brutal violence of the yellow rob
bers nor England who Instigated
them. We know we cannot, settle
our account with Japan at present
Our mills will grind slowly, but even
If years should pass before the right
moment comee, a shout of joy will re
spond 'doe to you, Nippon.'"

ADMIT* DEFEAT OF SEVENTH
TAX AMENDMENT BUT AWAITS
OFFICIAL COUNT ON OTHER*.
?
^ ??
MR. TRAVIS LEO OBJECTION
Compliments Chairman Travla aa a
Skillful and Resourceful Man.,
Offclal From 40 Countlaa.
Raleigh.?In connection with hla
admission that the tax amendments
to the state constitution had been de
feated and statement that he will
await the official count of the returns
by the state board of elections to de
termine definitely the fate of the other
amendments Chairman J. W. Bailey
of the amendments campaign commit
tee takes occaslop to say: "It Is up
to Chairman Tresis of the State Tax
Commission. He la an able man. a
skilled man and a resourceful man.
I hope that he will succeed In reform
ing our present revenue system by
way of enforcing the constitution that
we have and I shall be glad to help
him In any way I can."
Chairman Bailey makes the view
that If the other nine proposed
amendments are defeated they were
weighed down by the vote against the
tax amendment and that but for the,
sentiment against the tax amendment
the other nine would certainly have
carried. Mr. Bailey takes the view
that the statement published against
the tax amendment by Chairman Tra
vis of the state tax commission, In
The Charlotte Observer Is what real
ly defeated the "amendment. He says
that he thinks If It should ever be
proposed again to amend the constl
tutlon It would be wise to submit only
one amendment at a time as "it Is
Impossible," as he expresses It. "to
so Inform the voters upon ten amend
ments as to Insure against misappre
hension. prejudice and private Inter
eat." At the same time he says ha
deos not expect to see/any further
effort to amend the constitution for
ten years. ?
Chairman Bailey has eonceded the
defeat of the amendments, although
be Still says there is some hope that
at least some few of them have got
through by small majorities. He gave
out a statement of returns In hand
from counties to date that shows 40
counties heard from with 2^tf them
for and IT against the amendments
but the vote agalnat footing up 16.303
and the vote for the amendments 11.
