I VICTORY CLAIMED BY OPPOSING SIDES IN THE MOVEMENTS LAST WEEK IN POLAND BETWEEN EUROPEAN ARMIES KAN INVADE HUNGARY The News of Last Week Was Confusing and it Was Plain That Nothing Was as Yet Decided in the War. Last week there were dispatches from some points in the old world that Germany had been defeated in a 1. i. i. 1 ~ ~ i _-l Il--i }?itr?at uatiiL*. iiiiu1 r iv lUllil'U OUV HUll both sides were claiming- a victory. By the end of the week there was still nothing definite to relate to a waiting world showing that the balances hud been turned in any decisive way in favog pf either or any of the opposing sides, Reports near the end of last week had the following to say about the v, JfiOYOniPlRs pf the armies engaged; , While the Kussian army luadquar-! | r tors remain silent and the Germans I claim to have checked the atlolfipt on t the part of the Russians to take the offensive, the military part> in Potro- j grad has shown its full confidence In the Unofficial reports of a Russian .^victory in Northern Poland by celebrntino the i>vwit ? p v" v v ' v"* It is even said in the Russian capit- aal that the victory was greater than < has been reported previously and there is talk in Petrograd of an en- < tire German army corps having been 1 broken up. Reports received there ' say that trains have been ordered 1 which will accommodate 50,000 wound ( ed and prisoners. Heretofore Grand J Duke Nicholas, commander-in-chief 1 of the Russian forces, has withheld < his reports until the work he set ( about had been completed, so that the * world may have to wait some days 1 yet for his official statement. In East Prussian and before Cra- ' cow, Galicia, the Germans also claim ] to have brought the Russian advance l to a stop. The other side is yet to be heard from in regard to this statement. : Probably the most significant piece * of news regarding Russian operations comes from Budapest where it is ad- 1 mitted the Russian troops again have ( invaded Hungary and again reached the county of Ung, which is about 35 % . miles south of Carpathiars and the 1 county of Zemplin, 50 miles south of these mountains. The troops, which invaded Ung, according to this report, have been driven back to the frontier, while action is being taken against those in Zemplin. Except to the North of Verdun, where the Germans attacked, were repulsed and asked for an armistice , which was refused, fighting in the Western theatre still is largely an artillery exchange. There is evidence, however, that the Germans contemplate another desperate effort to got through to the French coast ports. Every report from Belgium by way of Holland shows that the Germans are bringing up reinforcements and guns, but so closely is the secret guarded that there is no indication as to where the blow is to bo delivered. It will doubtless be a heavy one backed by all the men, guns and other machines of war of which Germany seems to have unlimited supply. The Allies have made every preparation to meet this assault. At the same time preparations have been coir, pleted for the defense of the cast coast of England for the opinion slili holds here if the Germans fail in their latest plans they will attempt a raid on England with warships and transports for which German submarines are trvinir to nrenare the wav. Later official advices received in Russian circles in London declared that the route of the German and A us trian forces in Poland was complete. The general staff, however, not able to give any details of this fighting. It was officially announced in Vienna that the fighting in Russian Poland continued. Twenty-nine thousand prisoners had been taken in this battle as well as 49 machine guns and a quantity of war materials. Berlin Tageblatt published a dispatch from Constantinople to the effect that 2,000 Russians had been mas sacred at Tabiz by Persians. The British official press bureau, while assenting to the publication of the above dispatch, and itappeared to be false, and to have been spread under German instruction. Big Snow For Date.

Nov. 26.?This Thanksgiving day found 7.000,000 starving persons in war swept Belgium crying out for bread and only half enough food on hand to appease their hunger. Three thousand tons of food are required each day to feed the sufferers yet to date the United States, upon which the Belgians must depend in the main for sustenance, has furnished less than half that amount.

The British battleship, Bulwark, was destroyed by an explosion as she lay off the port of Sheerness, England early last Thanksgiving morning. There arc only 14 survivors from + 1-.^ rrnn enn viiv v i v v? v/i i \j\j v/i ow mini who wore aboard. The explosion is believed to have occurred in her forward magazine. Whether it was caused by accident or design is a question to he determined by ft commission appointed t>? investigate. -a the opinion of naval men, it waS an Internal explosion that put on en 1 to the battleship, which for 12 years has done service at home and abroad and lately had been guarding Eng land's shores. There was no great upheaval of \va tor such as would have occurred if she had been torpedoed or struck by a mine. Instead the ship was enveloped in smoke and flame and when this had cleared nothing could be seen but wreckage floating on the water. Houses in towns seven and eight miles away were shaken by the explosion and even before men on ships anchor ed nearby could reach their own decks the Bulwark had disappeared. The sea was strewn with wreckage, while pieces of ship were thrown six or seven miles on to the Essex shore. Considering the size of her navy Great Britain has been singularly free from disasters of this character. Nevertheless when the French warship Jena was destroyed by an internal explosion in 1907 all cordite ammunition was taken from all the British ships and carefully examined. Refrigerators were installed in the ships tc keep the powder cool. The Bulwark, which was one of the older battleships cost 1000,000 pounfu sterling ($5,000,000.) London, Nov. 20.?It was ofliciallly announced here that the British battleship Bulwark had been blown up off Sheerness. Only 12 men out of the 700 or 800 on board the Bulwark were saved. According to the admiralty, the explosion, which resulted in the destruction of the Bulwark, is believed t< have originated in her own magazine The announcement of the disaster to the Bulwark was made by Winston Spencer Churchill, first lord of the admiralty, shortly before 4 o'clock this afternoon. TL ~ 1 . P ii- T > i i Jin- 01 me uuiwai'K, according] to a Central News dispatch, received this evening from Chatham, was due to an accidental explosion while ammunition was being loaded on th< warship. An eye witness was on a ship a short distance from the British battk ship when she was blown up off Sheer ness, gives this account: Account by Eye Witness. "I was at breakfast at about Id minutes to 8 o'clock this morninj; when I heard an explosion and went i on deck. My first impression was tha* the report was produced by the firing of a salute by one of the ships, bu j when I got on deck I soon saw some- ] thing awful had happened. The wa tor and the sky were obscured b\ dense volumes of smoke. We were or 1 dored to the scene of the disaster U ! render what assistance we could. A\ first we could see nothing, but wliei the smoke cleared we were horrifiec / to find that the battleship BulwarV 1 was gone. She seemed to have en tirely vanished, but a little later w( detected a portion of the huge battle t ship showing about four feet abov< 1 the water. * "We kept a vigil for the unfortun? i i aic crew, out saw only two men. ) don't know whether the other boats rescued any one or not.

The postoflice safe in the store of A. M. Smith, at Duncan, S. C., a station on the main line of the Southern Railway, ten miles west of Spartanburg, was robbed last week by yeggmen, who made a clean job and got away with their loot, amounting to $365 in stamps and money approximating $235. Nitro-glycerine was used, and though two distinct reports were heard during the night by citi-' zens of the place, the robbers were not disturbed in their operation and nothing was known of the robbery until next morning when Postmaster Smith opened his place of business. Tlln n/\of nv; (jvovuimf ainuui nit's were promptly notified and have had the cooperation of the authorities of both Spartanburg and Greenville counties during the day in their efforts to get a trace of the robbers. At noon two men giving their names as Charles Brown and J. C. Ross, were arrested by Spartanburg officers near Duncan and are being held in the local jail under suspicion. The officers believe they may be the "spot-1 . tors' Xvv the men who did the job. "Portland Ned" the famous yeggman, blew open a safe in the same postoflice several years ago and was convicted for the crime, Keep d Vhiitdy lor Rheumatism No use to Squirm and wince and try to Wear out your Rheumatism.

It is indeed an humble admission m the part of any man that he can not find employment in the recesses >f his own room, when locked together with himself, he might think of the wonders of the world which his Creator has made. Nothing is better for a man than casually reading the current works of his time. Whether an individual prefers history, literature or biography is immaterial. The prime thing is that he is coming into contact with ideas not his own, and that in the course of time he will be forced to acknowledge the justification of many opinions with which he is at viance. Anything that can start a trend of thought in a man, any selection which will tend to make a person look after his own life instead of the faults of his friends, or anyahing which will relieve the business brain from the nerve racking cares of the day, is a distinct blessing to humanity, and one that we should all enjoy. While very few of us will ever have the chance to do extensive reading on any subject except that upon which depends our daily bread. thev? ? r " x" ^ is no reason why we should not all seek to know a little about many things if only for a short time. We presume it is hardly necessary to say that the man who will spend a I few minutes each day upon the casual reading of whatever may be at hand will find life better and his heart filled of the joys that go with ^ living.?Times and Democrat.
