A Paris dispatch, dated Novem ber tl th, says: The Germans' new terrille drive for the Belgian and French coast, for wh'.^h they have been massing great bodies ot troops, is succeeding at at least three points, according to ad missions to-day. Dixmude, the Belgian town which has been the center of the great bat tle along the Yser, has been taken by ? the Germans; :he allies have with drawn from Lille, and the Kaiser's forces have occupied Ypres, over which there has been a most deadly struggle. Austrian reinforcements have joined the Germans in this cam paign. In the east the Russians are at tempting new raids on Prussian soil. The general hattie front did not change materially there during the day. The Russians again claim decisive victories over the Turks In Armenia, while Constantinople reports victo ries over the Russians. An allied Meet has been assembled In the Pacific and is scouring the seas for the German squadron which de feated the British off the coast of Chile last week. Renew Offorts to Reach Coast. The Germans have renewed their drive to the French coast, which was temporarily halted hy the cutting of dykes in the lower valley of the Yser river. lt is stated that the bat tle has been resumed with great fe rocity between Nieuport and River Lys. This is the first time since the Yser Valley was hooded that Nieu port has been mentioned in an offi cial report. This town is on the coast at the extreme left end of the allies' line. Offsetting the admission that Dix mude has been captured, it is an nounced that Lombertzyde, north of Nieuport. has been reoccupied by the allies. German Roi>ort. on Dixmude. London, Nov. 1 I.- The following i . i] fron Uei ii ? and took Dixmude hy storm, cantor J ing more than .">00 prisoners and nine machine guns. "Further south our troops crossed the canal, and west of Langmarc cap tured the first line of the enemy's position. About 2,000 infantrymen were taken prisoners and six ma chine'guns vver?> ca inured. ".South ol Ypres we have driven the enemy out of St. Kloi. "Despite fierce counter attacks by the British the dominating heights to the north of ArinenMeres remain in our hands. "Our attack has made progress to the southwest of Lille. The French suffered heavy losses while attempt ing to recapture commanding heights to the north Vlenne-Le-Chateau, in the forest of Argonne, and to the northeast and south of Verdun French attacks were everywhere re pulsed." War to Fud Soon, Says Asquith. London, Nov. ll.-That the great! European war may be concluded much earlier than had been expected, was intimated by Premier Asquith in a speech before the House of Com mons this afternoon. He declared the primary aims of the Germans had been frustrated. "The country," said the Premier, "now sees the Allies In a position wherein longland In conjunction with the allies has defeated the first de signs of Germany. "1 doubt whether the war will last as long as was originally predicted." "Now for Other Raiders." London. Nov. ll,-"Now for the other German raiders." This was the slogan In admiralty circles to-day as a result of the de struction of the Gorman cruiser Fin den by the Australian warship Syd ney and the bottling up of the Ger man cruiser Koenigsberg on the east coast of Africa. The ships which have been chasing the limden and the Koenigsberg now will join the great international fleet which ls in pursuit of the German squadron under Admiral Graf Von Spee, lu the Pacific. Dispatches received from various sources to-day give further details of the destruction of the sea rover Finden, after the German cruiser had spent three months ravaging British shipping In the Orient They show that tho superiority of English naval gunnery again assert ed Itself, although the Germans fought gallantly against heavier ord nance. The Emden arrived off Keeling, in the Cocos Island group, early Mon day morning, slipping in-shore out of the mist like a flying phantom. A party of 4 3 men were landed, who .smashed the British wireless station. While they were engaged in this work the Sydney, which had been close on the trail of the speedy Ger man craft, drew within rango and the Emden, taking fright, steamed away at full speed. The Sydney Opened Are at long range and the Emden, hoing outmanoeuvred, was compelled to stand by and give bat tle. The Emden, owing to the location in which she found herself, could not resort to Hight. The (lrst few shells fired from the Emden were accurately aimed and some of them struck the Australian ship, but later the gun ners seemed to lase their nerve, for the shells went wide of their mark. Early in the fight a shot from the Sydney tore away one of the German ships funnels, and soon another went crashing to the deck. An exploding shell, which struck the German craft on the stern, set her on tire, and the smoke rolling upward from the ship further hindered the German gun ners. The fight lasted a little more than an hour, and then the German ship was run ashore upon a rocky ledge. She was burning fiercely, both fore and aft, hy this time, and the surviv ing sailors were leaping into thc water. Cossacks Again Busy. Petrograd, Nov. ll. -Another great raid by Russian Cossacks in East Prussia is in full swing. The cavalry of Gen. Rennenkampf is exe cuting another drive ol* devastation su"h as early in the war caught and cut the German line of communica tion. This time the Cossacks have invaded East Prussia at the South west of the Ma/.urian Lake region, instead of at the north. The Russian cavalry already has reached the outskirts of Sold?n. Three railroads in that direction have been lorn up and more than a dozen railroad bridges destroyed. Contin uation of this raid into the district north of Sold?n will cut off the Ger man army Gi at. invaded the Suwalki district and was driven back upon thc Ma/.urian Lakes. At the same time the Russian army in Western Poland is continuing its . 11 ...1 ii r. . 'ho capture of thc mighty Autsvian fortress "i Kr.n ow.

An oincial state ment issued to-day says that the re sistance to the Russian attacks can not be long continued at this point, however. Another Brinish Ship Destroyed. London, Nov. 12.-The wave of optimism that has swept over Eng land and France since the capture and destruction of the cruiser Emden has been checked since \he Germans have occupied Dixmude. There was added gloom among the allies this morning when the English vessel Niger was destroyed by a German submarine in one of the narrowest parts of the English Channel and un der the nose of several ships at an chor. The allies continued to hold Ypres, hut seem unable to dislodge the Germans at Dixmude. Turko-German Vessel Damaged, London, Nov. 12.-The Turkish boat Gooben, it was discovered to day was penetrated by a shell in Gu bombardment o? the Dardanelles The damage is said to be very seri ous. The Gooben is one of the Ger man cruisers taken over by Turkej after outbreak of the war. The shel struck the vessel at the waterline. Report AK to German Spy. Condon, Nov. 12.-The ChronlcU to-day describes the nature of th* offense of Lieut. Mors, a German of fleer, who was recently lmprisonet for lifo for espionage at Alexandria Egypt. Mors was dispatched to Egypt years ago and succeeded in being np pointed a lleuteant in the Egyptlni gendarmerie.

Talk of Negro Chairman Become** Of fensive to Mr. Wilson. Washington, Nov. 12.-President Wilson, while receiving a delegation of negroes to-day who came to the White House to protest against seg regating the races In government de partments, objected to the tone ad opted hy their spokesman, W. M. '1 lotter, of Boston, and told the com mittee thal If it called on him again it would have to get a new chairman. The Piusi?eni added he had not been addressed in such a manner since he entered the White House. What Gie Negro Charged, The delegation charged that Sec retary McAdoo and Comptroller Wil liams, in the treasury, and Postmas ter General Burleson had enforced segregation rules in their offices. President Wilson replied that he had investigated the question and had been assured that there l^ad been no discrimination in the comforts and surroundings given to the ne groes. He added he had been in formed by officials that the segrega tion had been started to avoid fric tion between the races and not with the object of injuring the negroes. The President said that he was deeply interested in the negro race and greatly admired its progress. He declared the thing to be sought by the negro people was complete Inde pendence of white people, and that he felt the white race was willing to do everything possible to assist them. Trotter and other members at once took issue with the President, de claring the negro people did not seek charity or assistance, but that they took (he position that the negroes had equal rights with the whites and that those rights should be respected. They denied there had been auy fric tion between the two races before segregation was begun. President Wilson listened to what they had to say and then told the delegation that Trotter was losing control of his temper and that he (the President) would not discuss the matter further with him. After leaving the President's pri vate office Trotter, Maurice V. Spen cer and others of the delegation dared their talk had been "thorou ly disappointing." They deda- ? they would hold a mass meeting Washington Sunday to discuss thc Mr. Wilson is understood tu have told the vote mittle tlu question was i political one. and rhat he would )oi rake it up OD political grounds.
