PREPARE FOR FINAL DASH
GUNS in Hopes of Cutting Through
Allies Line.

London While undertaking I'm
mems tasks in the east, the Germans,
according to all accounts, are prepar-
ing to launch another offensive move
ment in the west. Just where this is
TO be is known by the general staff
alone. 1t is believed here they will
make another effort to get through to
the French coas and perhaps at the
same time try to force the line of
French t~ortresses in the Arrgonne re-
gion.
The Germans have been violently
~bombarding Ypres in Flanders, Sois-
IONS Oh the Aisne and Rheims. while
they have been attacking in force in
the Argonne region. The French claim
the Argonne assaults have been re
pulsed, while the Germans say that
they have been gaining ground stead
Fly.
The Germans during the past three
days are reported, in information from
north of Flanders, to have brought up
10000 men and more than 200 guns for
q final effort to cut through the allies
line before winter shall have set in,
bringing to an end extensive opera
tions on this front.

GERMANS ARE CONFIDENT
Berlin Says Numerical Superiority Of
Russians Overcome-Claim Rus
slams Have No Reserves.

Berlin.-The meager news received
from Russian Poland, given out in Of
fetal circles here, indicates that the
Germans and the Russians have Joined
in battle along the whole front be-
tween the Warta and the Vistula riv-
er, while the Russians to the north of
the Vistula are reported to be falling
back.
Germany has great expectations
concerning the outcome near Lodz."
says an official announcement handed
to the press. at is generally taken
for granted that the gigantic Russian
army, in spite of its great numerical
superiority, is seriously threatened by
Gen. Won Hindenburg's ingenious STRAIT
egg and his spirited offensive move
ment.
"a Russian defeat here may decide
the entire campaign in the east, as the
Russians are without reserves and lack
arms, ammunition and officers"

London.-Chief interest in the war
is still centered on the battles in Po-
land. AS has been the case heretofore
when important events were impend-
ing. little news is coming from either
Petrograd or Berlin. 1t is known, how
ever, that the Germans are offering a
stubborn resistance to the Russian ad-

FIVE DROWNED TRYING TO EF-
Feet RESCUE ON PACIFIC.
TWO OF CREW LOST.
RESCUES HARD TO EFFECT
Hanalei Went on Reef Outside Frisco
During Fog-vessei Thought She
Was Clear Of Reef When Cur.
rent Caused Trouble.

San Francisco.-Five members Of a
crew of life savers trying to reach the
steam schooner Hanalei, wrecked on
Duxbury Reef, nine miles north Of San
Francisco, we're drowned.
Two Of the Hanalei's crew were
drowned while trying to make their
way through the surf with lines. Two
passengers swan to safety.
The lives of IS other men and wom-
en-, 80 passegers and % of the crew,
who were clinging to the sloping decks
of the fast breaking up schooner hung
In the balance. A thick fog prevented
relief ships from aiding the Hanalei,
and when darkness closed in and the
rescue craft sought safety in deep
water 1t was realized the only possible
hope Of saving the remaining 26 pas
sengers and % officers and crew was
to get a line put from the shore. To
make this attempt a San Francisco
newspaper arranged to send a mortar
gun and the crew OF the Golden Gate
Life Saving station to the scene OF the
wreck. A motor truck met the life
savers at Sausalito, On h north shore
of San Francisco bay, and began the
long journey around the heads to a
point opposite the stricken schooner.
1t was believed the life savers would
reach the seem about midnight.
Two Of the Hanalei's boats, upside
down, and a life raft also, were washed
on the beach. The steam schooner lay
p few hundred yards off the shore.
blsnketed in the fog which led her on
The reef and which shut off sight and
sound alike.
Just at dusk a rift in the fog re-
vealed a glimpse of the doomed vessel,
pounded by the surf. The wind brought
indistinguishable cries from the pas
sengers and crew.
The fog was SO thick that persons
five feet apart could not see each 9TH
er and a little fleet Of schooners and
tugs which had beer trying to get in
touch with the Hanalei without them
selves piling on the reef. drew off as
night came on. One or two returned
to San Francisco. A few remained
neal the scene, including the life saw
ing crews from Fort Point and Port
Bonita, in their launches.
Unless the fog should lift, permit
ting sou to get a line aboard,
vessel men said there was slight
chance for any n aboard.
The. Hanalei left Eureka, Cal. She
is of 666 tons and is owned by the In
dependent Steamship Company of Los
Angeles.
Apparently the Hanalei thought she
was clear of the reef, but was carried
in by a current.

NO CHANGE IN FLANDERS
Algerian Troops Win Victory For Al
lies at Travy Oe-vai-Hand-to-
Hand Battle Fought.

Parts.-Forces are gathering for de-
cisive events in Flanders.
The big guns are at It again. con
Quoting a bombardment OF the allies
positions from the German lines. The
French and British guns are replying
In kind, with less vigor. Under cover
Of the artillery activity both armies
are moving troops with great rapidity
and in great numbers.
The movement is southwark, and 1t
is believed the next great effort of the
Germans will be made to the south of
Ypres, probably at Armentieres. Aeri-
al scouts of both the Germans and al
lies were extremely active all day, &C
cording to unofficial reports from the
front.
The allies took possession of Tracy
le-Val several days ago and the Ger
mans on Tuesday returned to the at
tack with the intention of recapturing
the town.
So terrific was their initial onslaught
that it carried them up to and over the
first line Of entertainments. Spurred
on by the success Of this effort, they
advanced rapidly on the village.
The Algerian contingent, which had
been called from the reserve to sup
port the first line trenches when 1t vas
seen the French troops were about to
be overwhelmed. passed the retiring
French troops or the road. The latter
were almost exhausted from the vigor
fresh and their officers insisted that
they be permitted to meet the second
blow of the attackers.
As the French fell back, fighting all
the way, suddenly there was uncovered
to the view Of the oncoming Germans
a solid front OF turbaned Turcos. They
fell on the Germans with blood-curdling
yells and cut them with lead and steel.
The fighting was terrific. The Turcos
went down into them and fought them
man to man until the German front
was broken and shattered. Dead were
scattered thick and many were tram
pied under foot. The cross roads,
which was a mass of tangled, lunging,
parrying, gouging warriors, swaying
backa nd forth in a desperate battle.
Men Of Africa and gray clad Prus-
SLAMS struggled for over an hour at this
point, until finally the fury of the Tur-
Co.'S onslaught began to tell and the
Germans beat a disorderly retreat.
The Algerians pushed their advant-
g with renewed energy and drove
the enemy well beyond the outer
trenches, regaining every foot of the
ground that had been lost.

COLD WEATHER, EXHAUSTION OF
TROOPS STOP FIoHTlN0--sEND
TROOPS EAST.
ARTILLERY FIRE IS MILDER
Allies Appear to Have Advantage in
the Big Guns, But Art Not Taking
tho Offensive-Both Sides
Need Rest.

London.-The extreme cold weather
and exhaustion of the troops have
virtually brought the battle in Elan
ders to a %standstill. A desultory ar
tillery duel continues at some points
along the wide front and there has
been an occasional infantry attack,
but for the last three days the fighting
has been mild compared with the
fi~erceness of that which for more than
a month preceded it,
The Germans, 1t is evident, have
sent their best troops to the eastern
frontier and even in big guns the al
lies appear to have the advantage.
There are no signs, however, of an Of
fensive on a large scale on the part
of the allies, who doubtless are as bad
ly in need Of rest as their opponents.
In fact, 1t Is stated that officers and
men who have borne the brunt Of the
fighting in the trenches are being CIV
en- a short leave.
This, together with the cancellation
of the order for the removal Of ship
ping from Dunkirk, is taken to indi-
cate that the allies consider their po-
sitions safe and hat they do not con
template an Immediate forward move
ment.
The French artillery plainly is wear
ing down the rival gun detachments.

NAVAL FIGHT IN BLACK SEA
German Cruisers Goeben and Breslau
Take Part-Flght lasts 40 Minutes
-Goeben Damaged.

Petrograd.-The cruiser Goeben Of
the Turkish navy was damaged by an
explosion caused by a shell which
struck her amidship during a naval
battle with a division of the Russian
Black Sea fleet and set afire, accord
ing to an official report by the min
istry Of marine. The Goeben fled
into the fog and disappeared, still in
flames. accompanied by the cruiser
Breslau, says the report.
The Official narrative Of the encoun-
ter relates that a division Of the Black
sea fleet, which was returning from a
cruise to Sebastopol, sighted, rs miles
from the Bhersones light, a Turkish
detachment Of warships consisting
of the Goeben and Breslau.
The Russian ships opened fire, fol-
lowing the motions Of the flagship,
the Admiral Evstafry. The initial
salvo from the 12-inch battery of the
flagship struck the Goeben amidship.
An explosion was caused as a result
of the Avstafry's hits and the Goeben
Immediately broke into flames on her
port amidship.
Other explosions followed on the
Goeben. Still the reply of the Ger
man cruiser was not effective. Evil
IDENTIFY the enemy's ships were not pre-.
pared for action on such short notice.
The battle lasted for 40 minutes,
when of a sudden the Goeben veered
off and withdrew. disappearing in the
fog. The Breslau followed. The Rus
sian division took up the pursuit, but
the speed Of the enemy's ships was
too great and the chase had to be
given up.
