(By AnociaUd Pm? ) LONDON, Dec. 2.-Belgrade, until the outbreak .of .the .war. Servia'a cap- ' Ital, waa occupied today by Austrian troops. The Servians previously bad CV?Cu?tvu ibo city. Thus, on tire' CG th -anniversary of Oie reign of Emperor Francis Joseph, I who again is reported seriously 111. and four months after the outbreak of the war, ?hig generals report one of ; the most important successes they have obtained. Belgrade frequently was bombard ed early in tho war and but for Ute necessity that compelled Austria to send troops against Russia must have failed easy prey to Servia'j big neigh bor. Apparently Austria miscalculated the nature of the Servian opposition and only after Bosnia was Invaded did she send a sufficient force against the Servians to drive them back. Now they are being forced backward and are eagerly looking for the advance ot the Russians into Hungary to af ford them relief. - K'uasia has been sending Cossack raiding parties through the Carpath ians to divert Austria's attention, but the dual monarchy seemingly ls de termined to finish with Servia first. This, however, is only a small affair compared with what ls going on ta North Poland. There the German army, which, aided by reinforcements, ea caped from the ring the Russians had' ?u?cai around it, has formed a new front and at some' points has re sumed the offensive. .The Germans ' assert that In these maneuvers they made 80,000 prisoners. The Russians, in a statement issued through Romp, Say their captures greatly exceed this number. All agree that losses have been heavy and that the battle still ls undecisive, as it probably will be for som -. days. For a moment, the. Aiiies aro some- j what disappointed that the realisation * of tho great Russian victory ls denied them. They take some consolation In that tho German attempt to pierce the Russian lines has failed, and that, suf fering from heavy losses, the Ger mans ar? compelled to weaken their armies elsewhere. The Russian report tonight says the fighting has. lost some of its violence and Indicates) some progress tor Rus sian troops south of Lodi. It ls un officially reported that the Russians are "nearly lh Cracow." ' While there .ia every Indication thai another big battle ls Imminent in the west, then is no evidence, that lt ac tually has begun.

All battleships, except the two latest dread naughts, armored Cruisers of tho Tennessee class, scout cruisers and the older destroyers, the admiral sa.'s, are equipped with a "short rang? torpedo which may be considered obsolete for the battle fleet." Since the battleships Nevada and Oklahoma were designed, however, all new vessels have been provided with the modem tnrnaAn ;nij ?.? rapidly as possible the equipment of older ships is being changed. . Admiral Straus thinks improve ment in the efficiency of officers and men who handle this branch of the navy's work has not even kept pace with the slow development of mater ial. . "The bureau is of the opinion," he reports, "that the torpedo material has developed much more rapidly than the torpedo personnel." In the fact of renewed agitation for aa exterior explosive the admiral reiterates his firm faith in the armor piercing explosives. "The bureau." he says, "ls more than ever inclined to the opinion that the best projectiles are of the armor piercing type, carrying sufficient ex plosive to detonate ana fragment the projectile after having passed through armor; and lt is thought that the penetrative power of projectiles has been increased to insure j a satisfac tory percentage of success." "Experiments to determine the rel ative value of different types ot ar mor plate are said to have! showp the existing type to be superior to all others." , - .
