Germans Preparing Fleet. London, Nov. 22.-"Messages fro North Holland state that unusual a tivlty prevails at Emden," says ; Exchange Telegraph dispatch frc The Hague. "Fishermen, who dal criuoe near the Gorman waters, s the German fleet is preparing for d clsive action In tho North Sea.

While t may be in exaggeration, both Russian ?nd th? German official re ports suggest that Gen. von Hinden burg's second thrust at Warsaw has been checked. Grand nuke Nicholas, commander in-chief of the Russian forces, for two days in succession has recorded partial successes, and to-night the German general siair says the arrival of Russian reinforcements has post poned a decision. Hot h Hblos have expressed the greatest confidence in the outcome. Grand Duke Nicholas and Gen. von Hindenburg heretofore have been so successful In their strategy that their adherents look upon them al most as unbeatable. Turkey Claims Victories, Turkey, as usual, reports victories over the Russians in the Caucasus and the British in Egypt, but these lack confirmation. Thc English to night issued an account of success ful British operations tn the Porslau Gulf. The same statement told of the defeat of a British force sent against Cern?an East Africa. Germans Clan Drive In West. While undertaking immense tasks in the east, the Germans, according to all accounts, are preparing to launch another offensive movement in tho west. Just, where tills ls to be is known by the general staff alone. lt is believed here they will make another effort to get through to the French coast and perhaps at the same time try to force the line of French fortresses In the Argonne region. The Germans have been violently bombarding Ypres, In Flanders, So issons, In the Aisne, and Rheims, while they have been attacking In force In the Argonne region. The French claim the Argonne assaults have lien repulsed, while the Ger mans say they have been gaining ground steadily. Any or all of this activity may be intended to divert attention from the quarter in which the supreme attack will be made, but the allies aro sure to discover soon where they must expect the next blow. To ward the possibility of the Germans again hy ing to move along C'e coast the Brit ish fleet lias been bombarding their positions from the soil. EUROPE WANTS THE COTTON. Senator Smittb Says the Only Thing Needed ls Sbips to Move lt. Columbia, Nov. 20.-Senator E. I). Smith, in an interview here, discuss ed the cotton situation as regards foreign trade. He said that In view of the fact that England, as well as other countries ut war, have declared . orton to be non-contraband, "lt Sv ns that the situation would be greatly relieved If the American gov ernment would i.e every means within its power to obtain vessels for transporting cotton to the different countries." Senator Smith announced that he had received several letters from foreign correspondents bearing on the cotton situation. The corres pondents from Germany advised that, in spite of the war, Germany would probably consume as much American cotton as over, if not more. If the supply could be obtained, she certain ly would use ns'much. The Russian correspondent indicated that, were transportation facilities obtainable, Russia also would use lier usual quota of American cotton. "1 intend to use these letters," said Senator Smith, "before fie proper authorities in Washington, in order to expedite the i>erfectlon of trans portation facilities." "A rather significant statement in the letter from Germany ls tho one to the effect that one of the causes of restricted purchases of cotton here was the American exporters refusing to accept purchases on GO and 00 days, as heretofore, but this is also modified by Hie .statement' in the same paragraph to the effect, that am ple fundl are available if Hie cotton could be gotten at all. I certainly ho|>e that, with persistent and prop erly directed effort, the sale and con sumption of our cotton will not be so greatly restricted as appears would be the ease." Rum $10 Does Good Work. A dispatch from Athens, Ga., says: Martin J. Abney, of this city, has had an unusual experience which brings up a queer question of finance. He found a $10 bill on the street and at once paid off an account he owed, marking lt and keeping track of Its day's doings. Last night lt had paid Its face value on ten different ac counts and was in a bank. This morning ho got the marked bill when he drew a sum from the insti tution and the cashier advised him that the bill ls counterfeit. The bill, though a counterfeit, has settled a hundred do.lars' worth of debts and nobody has lost anything, as lt, by coincidence, came back to the one who found lt. i THE HERMAN ZEPPELIN WORK? Ait? Well ProtecfcMl by Aiiti-llalloon Cannon ami duns, Prledericshafen, Germany, Nov. 22 -Elaborate German pr?cautions for an emergency were responsible for failure of a raid of three English avi ators) who yesterday swooped down upon this city with the object of de stroying the Zeppelin balloon works. Anti-aeroplane cannon and machine guns brought down one of the ma chines and put the others to flight. The British ?Innen llrst were seen above Constance at 2 o'clock In the afternoon and their presence Imme diately was announced to authorities at Friederleshafen by phone. When they appeared nt Frederlcshafen tho anti-balloon cannon ?nd machino guns immediately opened lire. The Englishmen circled above the balloon hall for some Hmo and dropped six bombs. Two of them came so near the building as to cause a tremor of apprehension. Two others struck houses in the city, damaging them severely, killing a man and wounding a woman. One of the flyers attempted to cross the hall at a height of only a quarter of a mile. Bullets from guns on the top of the buildings, however, pierced the aeroplane gaso line tank and the pilot was forced to glide to earth. On roaching the ground he tried to defend himself with a revolver, bul was captured af ter receiving a slight wound. Tho point where the aeroplane landed was only 300 feel from the Zeppelin hall. The wounded man is being treated at a ?ocal hospital. GIFTED MEN ENTERTAIN At Westminster-Young Couple Sur prised Friends-Other Nous. Westminster, Nov. 2 1.-Special: Mrs. J. M.

Spinks, a busi ness man, was waiting for a street car on East Highlands a tall man, with the collar of his overcoat pulled up, approached him, threw a pistol in his face and told him to surrender his valuables.

After the war is ended and the carnage la over the world will still have the scientists and the historians i to deal with.
