Vienna reports offlcially: “The
latest news permits of no further
doubt that the resistance of the Rus
sian main force has been shattered.
After the defeat of the southern
wing in the battle of Liraanovo,
which lasted severai days, our allies
also gained a victory near Lodz.
“The Russians now ere completely
routed on the River Rzura.
“Threatened by our advance across
the Carpathians from the south, the
enemy began a general retreat, which
they are trying to cover by stubborn
fighting in the regions before the Car-
pathians.
“Our troops are attacking on the
line of Grodno Zakliczyii.
"Along the other parts of the front
the pursuit has begun.”
I<oadon reports no confirmation of
a statement from Vienna that “the
Russians are retiring along the entire
front in Galicia and Poland,” but
says such a move on the part of the
Russians would be in line with the
announcements in Petrograd dis
patches that the Russians, threaten
ed on both flanks, had decided to
take up new positions - where they
could better meet the Austro-German
onslaughts from the Carpathians to
the East^Prussian frontier.
The Russian delay in fulfilling ex
pectatlons that they would prove a
serious menace to German territory
is disappointing the peoples of the
allied countries, but military men ex-
prers the view that it is better for
Russia to fight in her own ter: itory,
where means of communication
jronld.be more on an equality. —.
Hertto, -according to its dispatch
wsa aroused with enthusiasm Thurs
day with the announcement of a
great German-Austrian victory over
the Russians in Poland. An offleiai
bulletin announcing this was Issued
shortly after noon. Within half an
hour extra editions of the papers ap
peared and the whole city literally
flashed into bunting.
American visitors, who a few days
ago commented on the non-display of
flags, scarcely recognized the streets
which everywhere were gay with
German and Austrian colors, at many
places intertwined.
At the Reichstag, where a Red
Cross meeting was in session, word
was received from the palace that the
greatest victory of the war had been
won. The schools closed Friday that
the children may assemble to cele
brate the event.
The first intimation of the nature
and extent of the Russian defeat was
received Thursday night and circu
lated in official quarters, but nothing
was known of it generally until the
official bulletin was published. It
had been understood that the Rus
sians were In a precarious position,
but It was not hinted that a decisive
result was at hand The official bul
letin issued Thursday reported that
operations were "proceeding normal
ly,*'-which phrase is the usual ter
mination of official reports. It Is
known now that thousands^of Rus
afans have been taken prisoners.
Petrograd reports Thursday night:
*'In the direction of Mlawa our van
guard and cavalry troops are chasing
energetically the beaten Germans.
“Several of their cprps already
have crossed the frontier.
"During the chase we have cap
tured prisoners, guns and war mate
rial."
“On the left brnk of the Vistula
and in Eastern Galicia on December
16 no important fighting took place.
“During the past week the garri
son at Przemysl has attempted sev
eral sorties, all of which were repuls
ed. Inflicting heavy losses on the ene
my.
"During one of these sorties we
captured several hundred prisoners
and some machine guns.”
Ijondon reports: In Poland pre
parations are being made for a new
battle or series of battles. The Rus
sians, according to a former member
of the cabinet at Petrograd, have de
cided, despite the disappointment it
must cause, to withdraw the left
wing at least and form a new line
back in their own territory. This
will relieve Cracow, but will compel
the Austro-German forces to fight
farther away from the strategic rail
ways from which they have, moved
troops quickly to desired points.
This plan doubtless will affect tho
rest of the battle front .except in
North Poland, where tho German col
umn have been driven back by a
superior ussian force.
Along the coast of Flandeis, where
the Allies are trying to push their
lines forward from Nleuport, they
have the assistance of the British
fleet, which has violently bombard

the war. This attack, Berlin says,
was without effect and the Allies

ENGLAND IS ASTIR
BOMBARDMENT OF COA8T ROUSE
LION TO ACTION. v
Arrangements Being Made to Guard
Against Another Attack—List of
, Dead Not Yet Complete.
Crippling of telephone and tele
graph wires by the bombarded Mon
day of Scarborough, the Hartlepools
and Whitby, on the east coast of
England, by German cruisers, togeth
er with military precautions thrown
about those towns, made it impos
sible even Tuesday to obtain more
than an approximate estimate of the
civilian dead and wounded.
Bristling with wrath and^ resent
ment at the attack on unfortified
towns, England was astir as never
before since war was declared. An
other raid Is confidently expected and
the entire machinery of home defense
has been put motion. On the
east and the southeast coast emer
gency committfees are at work, while
in London plans to organize a na
tional guard of men too old for mili
tary service are under way.
Although to the British mind a
raid on London seems remote, Mon
day’s episode drove home the reali
ties of war as nothing else could.
Arrangements have been made at
Deal and Dover to expedite the re
moval of the civilian population in
case of an attack. Those measures
are primarily to forestall any panic
or traffic congestion which might im
pede military movjments.
Berlin promptly heard of the out
come of the raid through wireless
and Tuesday morning a wireless mes
sage from the German capital repeat
ed details of the attack as printed by
British newspapers Monday. Noth
ing has been added from German offi
cial sources.

waters is a feat English papers do
not belittle, and in his heart every

the German cruiser strewed mines,
so a fleet of trawlers is now out en

resumed much of their normal ap
pearance except In the bereaved
homes and in the hospitals.
Belief Is general that the Germans
had the able assistance of spies The

Editors Are Not Su|>ernatural and

Day before yesterday a perfectly
nice lady called us up and with tears
In her voice reproved us for not men
tioning the fact that she had had a
friend visiting her last week We
told her that she had not let us
know anything about it and that
therefore, we did not know that she
had a visitor. Then she .said, “Well
you should have known. I thought
you were running a newspaper.”
Wouldn’t that rattle your slats?
Some people think that an editor
ought to be a cross between Argus
and Anna Eva Fay.
They seem to think that our five
senses are a gmented by a sixth that
lets us know everything that hap
pens, even if we see, hear, feel, taste
or smell it not. Dear lady, editors
are only human or at least, almost
human. If you have a friend visit
ing you, if you are going away, or
have returned from a visit out of
town, If Johnnie fails and breaks his
arm, if your husband chops his toe
instead of astiek.of wood, if anything
happens that makes you glad, or sad,

Day Examination Before House
House Committee on Naval Affairs.
* 1
Formal announcement of success
ful naval attest* of coal from gov
ernment-owned Matanuska fields In
Alaska was made Tuesday by Secre
tary Daniels before the naval com
mittee of the House. Trials by the
cruiser Maryland about ten days ago,
Mr. Daniels said, had demonstrated
that the Matanuska coal was as good
as any to be found.
The results of this test, over which
navy officials have been exulting
quietly for several weeks, were par
ticularly gratifying, Mr. Daniels said,
because disappointing experiments
with coal from the Bering fields a
year ago had dimmed hopes that the
rich deposits in Alaska ultimately
wovjld meet all of the government’s
demands for fuel on the Pacific coast.
Mr. Daniels spent his fourth and
last day before the committee, ex
plained the needs of the navy in con
nection with the preparations of the
annual appropriation bill and answer
ing questions on every, phase oJLtbe
national defence problem. He told
of a proposal for building a half-mll-
lion-dollar projectile plant at Phila
delphia. or Indian Head. Maryland,
admitted that it was no secret in the
navy that the supply of shells for the
great gupsXjt the battleships was in
adequate, and gave his views at
length on the retired pay question.
Capt. Winterhalter, the secretary’s
aide for materials, was questioned
about submarines, and ahd quite an
argument with Representative Hob
son of Alabama, over war scares
Capt. Winterhalter said he was un
able to see international dangers
ahead pictured by Mr. Hobson. Then
the congressman told the committee
of a “scare” last year that put the
American garrison in the Phillipinees
in a state of siege.
"In May and for some months of
last year.” said Mr. Hobson, “our
gunners at Corregidor Island stood
at their guns night and day. with
plans ?or a two years’ siege. The
harbors were mined. Troops from all
over the islands were brought into
Corregidor and everything prepared
for a siege, -except there was no
transfer of the government from Ma
nilla It did not Ikke any vision to
see that." '
The secretary said the navy was
trying to put its yards on a business
basis with industrial managers^ try
ing the plan at New York, Norfolk,
and perhaps some other points.
“The Philadelphia navy yard is in
excellent shape,” he added, "and
hasn't as many evils--card systems
and other paper work—as they have
in some of the other yards We are
going to put a construction officer in
charge at the Norfolk yard.”
Representative Lee of Pennsylva
nia brought up the proposed new
naval dry dock, suggesting that, in
view of trouble with the site select
ed at Norfolk, it would be better to
build a dock at Philadelphia, where
the bottom Is safe and sure.
“The reasons I recommended the
building of a dry dock at Norfolk
replied Secretary DanieK "is because
that yard has more docking, more
arrivals and departures than any
other yard. 1 recommended the loca
tion at Norfolk: it is for congress to
determine what should be done. The
chief docking need of the navy is at
Norfolk.”
Secretary Daniels was asked if the
general board of the navy agreed
with him as to the location of the
dock.
"We don't always agree,” said the
secretary, smilingly “If the com
mittee desires to_Blace at PbiladeL
pfila the large double dry dock—two
docks—at the same cost as the one
1.000-yard dock at Norfolk you
wouldn’t object?” asked Mr. Lee.
“Whatever the bill says is our duty
to carry out," was the reply. .
“Did Capt. Grant turn the battle
ship Texas around in front of the
navy yard in the Elizabeth River at
the Norfolk navy yard?”'
“Yes, he did,” was the reply.
Mr. Lee was a little sceptical about
the Texas turning around in a chan
nel 400 feet wide and 35 feet deep
and suggested that maybe it was
turned around at Berkley, Va.
Secretary Daniels said it was not
the purpose of the navy department
to maintain marines on the Isthmus
In addition to the army. This was
in connection with his urgent reconi
mendation that $400,000 of an unex
pended appropriation for marine, bar

Has Wrecked Radio of One QHtlsh
Collier at Balboa, Canal Zone.
President Wilson and his cabinet
decided Tuesday to send American
warships to the canal zone to guard
against neutrality violations by bel
ligerent ships. How many ships will
be dispatched will be determined af
ter a full report has been received
from Gov. Goethals, of the canal
zone, and Capt. Rtdman, naval offi
cer of the canal.
"Whatever is necessary to be
done," said Secretary Daniels Tues
day night,, “to carry out the execu
tive order of the president with ref
erence to the radio communication,
will be done. A telegram from the
radio office at the canal zone says:
For communicating with British
cruisers from west coast I have, dis
mantled radio of one British collier
at Balboa, Canal Zon,e.’
Governor Goethals Tuesday reiter
ated his request for destroyers to en
force neutrality laws in the Canal
Zone. A conference was held be
tween Secretary of War Garrison,
Counsellor Lansing, of the State de-
partpient, and Rear Admiral Fiske,
chief of The navy bureau of opera
tions.
Secretary Garrison early in Ihe day
received a cablegram > from Col.
Goethals, explaining his request for
destroyers. This message was not
made public, but Mr. Garrison said,
in Col. Goethal’s judgment, misuse of
radio communication within canal
waters and the necessity of prevent
ing misuse of the zone as a base of
supply by belligerents, required the
presence of swift moving war ves
sels.
It is understood that administra
tion officials will go deeply into the
question of the powers of the gov
ernment in controlling activities in
waters adjacent to the Canal Zone
before any step is taken.

Navy Aloae Could Not Defeud Pad?
ama Canal.
Preparedness of the United States
to defend tho Panama Canal in case
of war waa the subject of a series of
questions put to Commander Stirling,
commanding the Atlantic fleet’* sub
marine cotllla, at Tuesday’s hearing
before the House naval committee.
The commander expressed the opin
ion that in addition to ihe navy a
large mobile army would be regured
to protect the canal and keep it open.
”Is our naval force prepared to
give us control of the can^l against
a navy of the size, say of Ger
many’s?” asked Representative Farr.
“Not very well prepared,” the offi
cer replied after some hesitation.
Commander Stirling pointed out
that lack of a base would handicap
operations of any hostile navy against
the canal. The nearest foreign base,
he safd, was Jamaica, a British pos
session. Questioned about the Pa
cific coast, he declared he thought
both coasts safe as long as the canal
could be kept open for passage of the
fleet.
The officer’s testimony as a sub
marine commander that the battle
ship was the prime factor in naval
defence attracted much interest
among committee members. Ulti
mate development of the battleship,
be predicteki, would be to a more of
fensive .rather than defensive type,
with less armor and more speed. De
velopment of The submarine, he said,
would lead to a type of 2,000-ton
armored, 25-knot, sea-going vessels
to accompany the battleships wher
ever they go as a terror to the ene
my's battleships^.
Asked regarding the eighteen sub
marines under his command, he said
all of them could get into active com
mission on comparatively short no
tice, eleven of them within ten days
and the rest wlthtii two weeks, ex
cept two that are in reserve and not
yet accepted, and one practically dis
carded. He told of serious lack of
tenders for the submarines and of
how lie had repeatedly asked for
more. ,
Commander Stirling said the navy
had fifty-seven submarines altogeth-

the delay in action on Col. Goethal’s
request for destroyers was di^e to a
lack of Information - . Mr. Garrison
explained that the colonel had asked
for destroyers without specifying the
purpose of their use. In reply to a
message of inquiry Col. Goethalp ex
plained that wireless regulations were
being violated, in canal waters and
referred to the misuse of the Canal
Zone as a base of supplies The war
department again asked for specific
Instances of what had occurred, but
no further information had been re
ceived.
If the Canal Zone Is being used as
a base of supplies Col. Goethals will
be Instructed to use his land forces.
Should it develop that the wireless is
being used within the territorial
waters the navy department will de
mand an explanation from its naval
officers, as the question of wireless
regulation is up to the navy depart
ment. " -,
“Destroyers or other ships will be
sent to the Canal Zone at any mo
ment when needed to prevent the use
of radio for any unneutral act by
ships of any belligerent nation,” said
Secretary Daniels. The probability
Is that some of the cruisers now on
the Mexican west coast will be sent
to the Zone instead of destroyers.
Regarding the alleged use of radio
outfits by British colliers within the
canal waters officials are trying to
ascertain the extent to which this has
been done It U suggested that
warning will be sufficient to stop al
leged offences, without invoking a
display of force If such a^.splay
should be necessary, howevefTit will
be incumbent upon the navy, a$ by a
proclamation on August 5 the navy
department was placed in exclusive
control of the radio service in the
Canal Zone
At the British embassy it was sug

are alleged to have been using their
wrieless within the territorial waters
of the Canal Zone may not have re
ceived word of the canal regulations
on this point as these only reached
London Monday.

Of these, he said, twenty were on
the Pacific waters. Including nine at
Manilla.
All of the boats, he said, were
equipped with torpedoes good from
3,500 to 6,000 yards. He regarded
the flVe submarines at Colon as ready
for any emergency.
The commander said the navy now
had thirty-five modern destroyers,
and he believed there should be eight
sea going submarines as a propor
tionate part of a fleet
"We should have a submarine flo
tilla on each coast,” he said.
Representative Hobson asked In ef
fect if there was any really adequate
defence of the country against a great
battleship fleet, except by a larga
navy.
"Not against a military nation that
has a standing army and willing to
take the risk of Invasion—a tempor
ary Invasion,” replied the officer
Commander Stirling said he could
not conceive of any time when the
submarine would be able alone to
control the sea to make it safe for a
country’s commerce.
