RUSSIANS CLAIM GREAHICTORY Hn-n ft,,,. A- Ml A I?J ft* strati visffl UN Warsaw Kcpmseo By TIm Stan la i hrisin , lattti RENEW AnACKS IN WEST Turk?y Claim* Victory Ovor Britiah In Egypt?Germany Bombard* The German charge on Waraaw has aow been cheeked, according to the latest reports both from Petrograd and Berlin. At the Russian capital a de cisive victory is claimed over the Teu tonic hoeta. Prom Berlin come admis sions that the kaiser's forces have re ceived a setback in their attempts to march on the Polish seat of govern ment. The Turks on the south and east are reporting victories over both the Rus sians and British. On the Black Sea they declare they have taken Batum, a Russian sea port, and are in posses sion of all territory between the Turko Russlan border and the Chursk river. The Ottoman troops claim to have defeated the British in a decisive bat tle in Egypt and to have now reached the Sues, canal. They report the Eng lish losses at El Kan tars, south of Port Said, to have been 750 dead and several thousand wounded. Their troops have moved northward toward Port Said and fighting is said to have taken place at Katassa and Teste be on the isthmus. On the Franco-Belgian frontier, the Germans have renewed their attacks * against the Anglo-French lines and have bombarded Ypres again. The al lies have withstood the shelling and no ohange has been noted in the situa tion. Directing their energies agstnst the advancing Russian invasion, which menaced the safety of Berlin, the Qer . man forces of a half million men, com bined with reinforcements of. Austri an troops, have succeeded in repuls i lng the Slavs and forcing their retreat far back across the Polish border. Warsaw is again threatened and much alarm is felt at Petrograd. The Russians, however, claim partial suc cesses. The Servians to the South are making a stand againSt the Austrian attacks, though the latter occupy su perior positions and unless other Bal kan states take a hand, Servia is seemingly facing defeat While German successes have been marked on the eastern border, the Anglo-French lines are announcing de cisive victories on the west Although the Germans shelled Ypres. and total ly destroyed the town hall and mar ket place, they are said to have made no headway. Fierce cannonading has been heard in the region of Soisaons and Vailly. Turkish activities have commanded much attention in the east The Otto man cruisers have been reported suc cessful on the Black sea, where the Russian port of Taupse was bom barded. The Russians claim thero was little damage done, while Constantino ple advices state the Turks destroyed all the Russian petroleum depots and the wireless station. A heavy nine hour battle between the Turks and Russians is reported on the Shat-el Arab river, which empties into the Per sian gulf. Turkish forces are reported to have arrived in large numbers sit - Sues - and engaged the British in a battle near Port Said. " A voluntary explanation was offered by the Ottoman government to the United States regarding the Tennes see' incident in the gulf of Smyrna, which haa been accepted by President Wilson and the authorities at Wash ington. Turks say the shot wis a warning against the mined area of the gult '? * Austrian troops have started anoth er attack on Servta, much to the alarm of Bulgaria and the other Balkan states. Petrograd advices state that the Turkish tort at the entrance of ' the port of Khopa In Armenia has been destroyed by the Russian army of the Caucasus. The Russian Black sea fleet, on the other hand, is said to have been seriously worsted by Turk ish ships to the harbor Of Sebastopol. The French lines claim successes In Argonne. The Italian government Is deeply concerned over the Austrian invasion of Bertla. Sky Searching Guns Washington?The navy department has found It possible by making some changes In the carriage to turn the discarded one-pounder guns of the mark VI type into effective anti-aero plane guns. About sixty of these guns made in 1899 and which long ago gave place to a more modern weapon, have been recalled by the navy depart ment from various Grand Army posts and other semi-civic organisations to which they were loaned, and are nopr being converted at the Washington navy yard into sky searchers. Turk* Defeat Ruielan* Berlin.?Official reports given out in Constantinople and reaching Berlin re late the continued successful Turkish advance upon Batum, the Russian port on the Black sea. All the territory between the Turko-Russian border and the river Chursk Is In Turkish hands, while A Turkish force In the southern part of this territory has taken Artwln The Turks declare that the English losses at Bhatt-elArab amounted tc 760 dead and several thousand wounded. Violate Neutrality Lima. Peru ?It It declared here thai the Oermana have bees maintaining I naval elation outelde of Valparaiso Chile. Here they brought together res sets having on beard coal and prorl sions. Chilean papers reaching heft say the government Is determined t< stop these breaches of neutrality. Franca Will Exhibit Bordeaux.?A satnl-offtdal common I cation announces the government's In V tentlon tp participate In the Panami ^x position as good will to tho U. S fei. ?r . THE ORACLE London.?The battle In the region be tween the Vistula and Wart* rivers in Poland appears to have turned In favor of the Russians. A special dispatch from Petrograd to Paris says the Russian army al ready has won a decisive victory. While this may be an exaggeration, both the Russian and the German of ficial reports suggest that General Von Hlndenburg's second thrust at Warsaw has been checked. Grand Duke Nicholas, commander in-chief of the Russian forces, for two days In succession, has recorded par tial successes, and the German staff says the arrival of Russian reinforce ments has postponed a decision. Both sides have expressed the great est confidence in the outcome. Grand puke Nicholas and General Von Hln denburg heretofore hate been so suc cessful in their strategy that their adherents look upon them almost as unbeatable. The German papers were talking of a general Russian retirement despite the fact that the Russians have been advancing steadily in Gallcta, have re pulsed the Austro-Oerman attack be fore Cracow, hold part of the German territory In East Prussia and oppose General Von Hindenhurg'a advance on Warsaw. It is the same in Petrograd. All the correspondents there declare the Rus sian numbers must tell when the Ger mans hare reached the ground on wl^ch Grand Duke .Nicholas has chos en -to give them battle. While undertaking immense tasks in the last, the Germans, according to all accounts, are preparing to launch another offensive movement in the west. Just where this is to be is known by the geperal staff alone. It is be lieved bete they will make another ef fort to get through to the French coast and pefhaps at the same time try to force the llhe of French fortresses in the Argonne region. * The Germans have been violently bombarding Ypres in Flanders, Sols sons in the Aisne, and Rhelms, while they have been attacking in force in the Argonne region. The French claim the Argonne assaults have been re pulsed while the Germans say that they have been gaining ground stead ily. Any or ail of this activity may be Intended to divert attention from the quarter in which the supreme attack will be made, but the allies are sure to discover soon where they must ex pect the next blow.,To ward the possi bility of the Germans again trying to move along the coast the British fleet has been bombarding their positions from the sea. Turkey, as usual, reports victories over the Russians in (the Caucasus and the British in Egypt, bnt these lack confirmation. The English have is sued an account of successful British operations in the Persian gulf. The same statement told of the defeat of a British force 4ent against German East Africa. Germans Take Onited States Steamer Santiago, - Chile.?The American steamer Sacramento, until a tew months ago the German ateamer Alex andria, has put Into Valparaiso with a atory charging violation of neutrality. The Sacramento left .San Francisco (or Valparaiso (lying the Stars and Stripes, October 16.

An Investigation has been begun. Disguised Germans Captured London.?The Athens correspondent of the Exchange Telegraph says: "A British destroyer has captured a Turk Ish sailing vessel on which, were twc German officers In disguise.

In Gallcla the Aus trlans have evacuated Novy-Sandes, under the pressure of our troops." Turks Claim Victory London.?Router's Amsterdam cor respondent says: "An official Constantinople telegram says the Turkish cruiser Hamldieh bombarded and destroyed the Russian petroleum depots and wireless station at Taupse, near Novorossysk (on the Black Sea). A heavy battle, lasting nine hours, occurred on November 1A along the Shat-el-Arab river (this riv er empties Into the Persian gulf and forms part of the boundary between the Persian and Turkish dominions) between the British and TurklatL troops.

Explain To Uncle Sam Washington.?Turkey has explained voluntarily to the United States gov ernment, through Ambassador Mor genthau, that shots fired toward the American cruiser Tennessee^ launch were intended merely as the custom ary warning that the port of Smyrna was mined and closed to navigation. Although the explanation 1b Informal, It was admitted at the white house and the state and navy departments that all danger of serious complica tions hsd disappeared, , - : ? ? ui ?

The Inhabitants fled, German troops *u( fared no loss. "The declaration In the Saxon Diet that peace would be concluded only after the attainment of security against further attacks was acclaimed enthusiastically by all parties, Includ ing the SoclnlUts. "Russian shipping companies at Odessa, hare withdrawn their ships from the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov because of the Turkish naval supremacy la those waters. A bom bardment of Odessa Is feared. The blockade of the harbor of Liban places control of the Baltic In the hands of the Germans, while the freealng of the harbor of Archangel (one the White Sea) severs Russian communication with the outside world. ""IT is reported from Stockholm that the Russian Government has asked for English contributions to the ex tent of 500,000,000 rubles ($250,000, 000) toward her war toans. "A brother of the 8helk of the SenousJ Informed the Constantinople correspondent of The Berliner Tage blatt that hostilities were not direct ed against Italy.

"Tha Morgenpost thinks the check to Russian reinforcements near Iodic* la proof that there are no Russian troops north of the Vistula.

The moun tain ridges southeast of Vallevo, -Ser via, though covered wltn snow, have beek crossed by Austrian tropps with little loss." Reports Aro Unconfirmed. London,?While Petrograd corres pondents continue to declare the Rus sians hare won a great victory over the Gel-mans In. Poland, otHclaJ con firmation still Is lacking. Although Russian headquarters say the advan tage in the fighting remains with their troops, Berlin declares that no .decisive battle has been fought Some German newspapers claim success for their armies. The silence of Grand Duke Nicholas. Russian commande|--ln-chief ln_Jtha_ - Bast, as to the progress of the battle tar-*Poland, " is causing unfavorable comment in Russia. Advices from Petrograd aay there is a feeling there that perhaps newspaper claims of a Russian success have been exaggerat ed. In the western war xone compara tive quiet prevails. No reports of heavy fighting have been recorded in several daya although there have been Intermittent artillery duels and small Infantry, encounters having no decisive effect. Snow has interfered with fighting In Servia, where the Austrians are making a supreme effort. The Roumanian Parliament will meet and the future of this kingdom probably we be decided at once. It la said Roumanla is prepared to oede to Bulgaria some of the territory which she obtained after the second Balkan war at the expense of her neighbor. This may mean that Bulgaria Is about to take her stand with tho allies and in return ha permitted to straighten out her boundaries and take more of the country Inhabited by her nation als. In addition to a contingent of 21,000 pieo who already are In Eng land, It Is announoed that Australia has raised a second 18,000 men. Can Lose 12 Shipa Safely.

And be in aa good a position of superiority as we were at the out break of the war?" said the First Lord. Of the older armored cruisers Mrv Churchill said Great Brltan had lost six and Germany tiro.
