War Horrors Along
User Battle Reporters
Descriptive Powers

London.-The News" reporter who
has been in an armored train to the
banks OF the User, gives a good
description OF the battle in the north.
He says:
"The battle RACES along the User
with frightful destruction Of life. Air
engines, ~sea.engines, and l~and-engines
deathsweep this deso,ate country yer.
tically, horizontally, and transversely.
Through 1t the little frail human en-
gines crawl and dig, walk and run,
sklrmishing, charging, and blunder-
ing in the little individual fights and
tussles, tired and puzzled, ordered
here and there. sleeping where they
can, never washing, and dying unno'
ticed. A friend may find himself fir.
ing on a friendly force and few are
to blame.
"First the Germans were driven
back over the User; then they secured
a footing again, and next day they
we're again hurled back. Now a bridge
blown up by one side is repaired by
the other; It Is again blown up by
the first, or left as a death trap TIL
the enemy is actually crossing.
"Action by armored trains, some
of them the most reckless adventures,
are attempted daily. Each day &C.
cumulates an unwritten record of in.
divldual daring feats, accepted as part
of the daily work. Day by day our
men push out on these dangerous ex'
plorations, attacked by shell fire, In
danger Of cross fire, dynamite, and
ambuscades, bringing a priceless sup
port to the threatened lines. As the
armored train approaches the river
under shell fire the a cracks with
the constant thunder OF guns aboard.
It is amazing to lei the angle al
which the guns can be swung.
"And overhead the airmen are busy
venturing through fog and puffs oil
exploding shells to get one small fact
of information. We used to regard
the looping Of the loop of the Ger
mans overhead as a hare.brained piece
of impudent defiance to our infantry
fire. Now we know It means early
trouble for the infantry.
Besides us, as We crawl up smiling
the lines like dogs on a scent, grim
tralnloads OF wounded wait sound
lessly in the sidings, Further up the
line ambulances are coming slowly
back. The bullets of machine guns
begin to rattle on our armored coats
Shells we learned to disregard, but
the machine gun is the master in this
war.
"A brisk day. remarks the cor
respondent. Not SO bad, replies the
officer. So the days pass"

Long trains containing wounded

dorf, and Coblenz, and the Red Cross
doctors and the hospitals in those
places are overwhelmed, 1t Is stated.
The effort to force the Allies lines
cost the Germans heavily. One cor
respondent estimates their losses dur
ing the past few days OF continuous
fighting at $4,000 a day. The Rotter-
dam correspondent Of the Daily Mail
t%elegraphs that during the recent
heavy fighting the Germans lost nearly
$4,000 men. The Allies loss, too, has
been severe. The Belgians are be-
lieved to have lost 10000 men In the
recent fighting. The Belgians were
always in the thickest Of the fight.
The British casualty report says that
seventy-four officers are dead, wound
ed or missing in the recent fighting.
A despatch from Berne, Switzerland,
asserts that the Germans are receiv-
ing large relnforcements in Alsace
and that the French are making great
preparations for an attack on Bel
fort, which is powerfully %intrenched.
A Central News despatch from
Northern France" states that the Ba-
varian Crown Prince had eight full
army corps, about 100000 men, with
which to force the passage along the

been frightful, the despatch states.
Regarding the fighting the CORE
spondent states that the situation
looked desperate for the Allies.
A Central News dispatch from Am
sterdam says that the Germans are
strongly reinforced and are making
another effort to cross the User Canal.
A German officer is quoted as saying
that his men have already crossed
the canal seven times and were com.
PEELED each time to retreat. At sew
eral points along the canal. the bodies
of Germans killed In action were used
as bridges for the crossings.

front in Belgium appear to be mod
Grating.
The German cruiser Emden has sunk
a small Japanese steamer en- route
for Singapore.
Berlin reports that the eelgians have
been reinforced, but the German at.
lacks are being pushed.
The German official report admits
that the German and Austrian
forces have been compelled to re.
tire from Russian Poland before
fresh Russian troops.
An official Berlin report said the battle
in Belgium was proceeding with
"stubbornness." II was announced
that one Of the British warships
had been set afire by the German
shells.
Russian Generals said the Germans
lost at Warsaw because they delay
ed their attack after their brilliant
and unexpected advance.
Gen. Baron Won Ardenne, formerly
attached TO the War Office in Ber-
lin, predicted the capture Of Calais
and other channel ports, which, he
said, would open the way to a pos
sible invasion Of England.
Another rebellion has broken out in

de Wet and Gen. Christian Frede-
rick Beyers, in the Orange Free
State and Western Transvaal. He'll

German Press Admits II May Last

Amsterdam.-The German semi-ofl.
cial press has changed its mind and
admits that war is likely to last
longer than 1t originally thought.
The North German Gazette in a
long article regarding the maximum
prices of provisions urges the necessi-
ty to husband the wheat resources.
The newspaper estimates Germany
has enough corn for bread for the
army and the population until the
next harvest, but 1t adds the war may
last longer, and the Germans must
be able to hold out until lasting peace
is brought about.
After repeated repulses in their des-
perate effort to establish themselves
on the Channel coast, the Germans are
now massing troops on the line be-
tween Dixmude and Newport.
They have about 100000 men fight.

Austria Feeling
Wars Disasters
Every Available Vienna Building TAX
en- for Wounded-Soldiers Beg
In Streets - Capital ls
Full Of Misery.

Reconsideration from Austria
reveals %unimagined seriousness.
The military losses not only have
been great, but disease is spreading
while the popu!ace Is %apathetic. Enor'
nous, almost inconceivable, Is the
loss OF life suffered by the Austrian
Army.
An evil spirit seems to have rem.
dered the Austrian Army impotent
from the very commencement Of hos
tilities. The first Austrian advance
into Russian Poland, resulted in a hor.
rible catastrophe for the invaders.
Only six weeks after the declaration
of war Vienna alone took under It's
auspices no fewer than 10000 wound
ed, and It a calculated that In those
six weeks the Austrian Army had lost
200, 900 men in killed and wounded.
From then onward not a single day
has elapsed without bringing news OF
a sanguinary skirmish.
In one encounter OF minor impor-
lance at the end OF September the
Austrian Army emerged with the colos'
sal total OF 10000 fallen. This was
due to a tragic error. The Austrlans,
left without ammunition and stationed
in an open position, hoisted white
flags. I'M Russians did not see them
and continued to decimate the Aus
TRANS with their mitrailleuses for sew
eral hours.
Austria was entirely unprepared for
such gigantic losses. Vienna has con-
sequently had to be converted into a
gigantic hospital. All the public and
private hospitals, barracks, and
schools became overfilled, but this did
not suffice, and theatres and offices
were occupied for this purpose. 1t
was still inadequate. Then were In
vaded the Museum, the great Rotunde
Of the world-renowned Prater Park,
where elegant spectacular ballets were
performed, the gay palaces of the
great Viennese exhibitions, and all
other available accommodations.
The life Of the city is nearly alto.
gether crushed by this painful mass OF
mutilated humanity.
The hospitals are beginning to run
short OF chloroform, and as a result
many operations are performed with.
out anaesthetics.
Convalescent soldiers wander like
vagabonds through the streets, cloth
ed in uniforms and still bandaged,
begging aims. They are hungry, they
ask for food, warm apparel, under
clothing, and walking sticks.
All the stocks have been exhausted,
There is no more leather for boots
There is a shortage of shirts and jack
cts. One sees reseryists on sentry
duty with ropes around their waists
instead of leather belts.
Together with the wounded arrive
long professions of cholera and dyson.
terry invalids, all from the Galician
frontier. The medical figures for vi
emma indicate 100 dead daily from this
malicious epidemic.

London.-Back and forth, In zigzag
style, along the course OF the User be-
tween Nieupcrt, on the North Sea, and
Dixmude, 10 miles to the south, he
tide Of battle ebbed and flowed day
upon day without any marked change
In the positions Of the Allies and the
Germans being effected.
Gen. Joffre's dispatches, however,
strengthen the belief that the German
attack in Flanders and France has
passed the crest of power and Is slow
ly weakening.
The French official reports we're
more favorable than at any time since
the German armies began their new
advance fifteen days ago after the oc'
cupation OF Ostend. The Kaiser's
troops we're not merely checked. but
were hurled back.
The All.es gained ground in Bel
gIum to the north and east of Ypres'
driving a wedge further northward be-
tween the German forces near the
coast and forces operating from Client
and Brussels. The Allies outfought
the Germans and advanced in the re-
gIou of La Basse, the point for many
DAYS OF incessant and violent effort
by the Germans to cut the Allied line
In two. Elsewhere along the west
flank the Allied line remains unbreak'
able.
The official statement that the Ger
man onslaught is moderating, togeth'
er with unofficial dispatches asserting
that the Germans cannot maintain
their attack, warrants the conjecture
that the Russian victories In Poland,
the advances of the French in Lor'
raine and Alsace and tremendous
losses in killed and wounded In Bel
gium and northern Frace are compell
ing the Germans nee more TO aDan
don an offensive campaign and are
forcing them to prepare to DEFEND
their own territory. 1t is reported
that the invaders have lost 10000 XIII
ed and 10000 wounded In Belgium
alone. while their losses in France
especially near La Basse, Lille anc
Arras, have been enormous.
The dwlndling Of their chances n
Belgium produced the new attempt tt
break through the Allied line In the
old centre, in the Craonne region.
The news from the battle line north
east and south east Of Verdun con
tinues to be favorable to the French
and has an important bearing on thu
situation In the north. The French
moved forward in an effort to envelol
the German force holding st. Mihiel
and maintained a threatening move
ment toward Metz.
The Austrian official reports tell o
heavy fighting in Poland south OF Iva
gorod and the capture Of 10000 Rus
slams. They also declare the Servian
and M~ontenegrins have been drivel
out of Bosnia with great loss.
The British Government is great
worried over the rebels in South AIR
ca having been joined by General
De We and Beyers, but insists the RI
volt will soon be wiped out.
A official statement issued In Lor
don announces that Premier B'
tina. commanding the troops of tn
Union of South Africa, has routed IN
command of rebels under Genera
Beyers and captured so prisoners.
