Advancing from Thorn
Along Both Banks of
the Vistula.
GAIN POINTS BY
DIRECT FIGHTING
Cars Officers Admit Seri-
Gus Situation, but Call
Outlook Good.
TBS cable to The TribuneI ]

London, Nov. 2l.--"The Morning
Posts" correspondent at Petrograd
says:
"The Germans are advancing direct
ly from Thorn along both banks Of the
Vistula. They have gained points
within a few marches of Warsaw and
are still forcing their way along by
direct lighting.
The Russians are continuing their
steady penetration Of East Prussia, and
three hundred miles TO the south the
Russian left is investing Cracow.
This is about all the public is al
lowed to know. The situation is pre-
csely that of the anxious periods
which preceded the defeats Of the Ger
mans on the Niemen and before War
saw Where the main Russian forces
are and what strategic plan is now in
course of execution may not even be
guessed. but the importance of that
which is now in preparation far ex-
ceeds anything that has gone before.
"What object the Germans hope 70
attain by their headlong charge on
Warsaw is, from military point Of.
view, difficult to understand. IL is
move that. perhaps, may be utilized
powerfully from a political point OF
view Germany has goaded Turkey on
the Russian rear and is straining every
nerve by methods Of bribery Of the
press. manipulation Of public opinion
and other familiar Germanic articles
TO force the several Balkan states into
the conflict against Russia. Principal
ly. however, Germany is suspected now
of desiring to gain some advantage
which, represented in customary Ger
manic colorng, may suffice TO bring
Sweden into the arena.
IN this second invasion OF Poland 4
the Germans appear 10 be using their
finest troops and depending for the
first time in this war on manhood I'M
stead of machinery. over The Polish
roads it is impossible to make use Of
their big guns, even those which, like
the 6-inch howitzers recently captured
by Russia in the neighborhood of Sol
dau, are capable of horse traction
along German roads. krupps' largest
and newest 42-centimetre howitzers,
which cannot leave the line of a rail-
way. are impossible for the campaign
in Poland
80 far as we know. the Russians are
retiring lighting before the second Ger
man invasion, and will continue to re-
tire until the place fixed upon by Grand
Duke Nicholas for his final effort is
reached. When the veil is lifted which
now conceals the entire theatre of war
on this front il will once more show
that the Germans have been outwitted
by the strategy Of the Grand Duke.
What official Russian spokesmen say
is that the present situation is very
serious, but is favorable TO Russia, and
their manner Of saying II quite plainly
conveys their perfect confidence in the
result.
"The Germans are engaged in enor-
nous military engineering works 20

capital, at Kustrin, where the River
Wartha flows into the Oder This suai-
ciently proves the collapse Of German
plans in this war. which had been pro-
pared for with minute care in every
conceivable detail"

Doubts Felt, Despite New

Athens, Nov. 90 Bulgaria has pub

effect (deletion by CENSOR that Bull
garia is determined to abide by her
neutrality.
Owing to persistent rumors current
abroad respecting Rumania or other
proposals regarding purchasing Bull
garian neutrality by territorial con-
cessions in Macedonia, the Greek gov
ernment, although no such proposals
have been MADE to it directly, has felt
obliged to instruct its diplomatic rep

oally that Greece could not in any cir
cumstances consider any cession of
territory.

Washington. Nov. 2O.-While adviees

moving the capital to that point All
official dispatches recently have indi-
Gated that there is great disloyalty IN
Carranza's army and that many deser-
tions from the ranks have depleted his
force.
It is the opinion OF the best Informed
officials that the revolution wagcd by
Villa will be short lived and that Tie
Aguascalieutes faction will be in con-
troll Of Mexico City within a snort time.
For this reason there has been no halt
in the plans to Withdraw American
troops from Vera Cruz on Monday.

Salonica. Nov. 20.-The Austrian ad-
vance in Servia has given fresh zest
20 speculation as 70 the attitude Of
Bulgaria Opinion here is much less
pessimistic than in Athens. In military
circles particularly it is not believed
that even III the face of the temptation
offered by Austria's southwark advance
Bulgaria will commit any act which
will involve her in war with Russia
and probably irretrievable ruin.
As for the suggestion that Rumania
is likely to act with Bulgaria on one
side with the Triple Alliance, it is not
believed the Rumanian government IS
either able or willing 70 defy over
wheming popular opinion which does
not merely desire an extension of Ru-
manian territory in any direction and
by any means, but wishes the liberia
tion of Rumanians in the Transylvania
from Austrian rule. That Turkey her
self feels uncertain as 70 Bulgarian
intentions is proved by the extensive
military preparation in Thrace. A large
force which has been encamped be
tween San Stefano and iyukchekmeje
has been moved 20 Adrianople, while
newly enrolled troops concentrated at
Tchataldja are being disposed at va
rious points along the Martha and Err
gene rivers at such places as lpsala,
Demotika and Mandra.

on Stand-Banker Hurts
Defence Case.
IFrom . stsr Co-rcsrondent of ma Trlhnra

Geneseo, \. Y, Nov. 20.-The prose-
cution came within three minutes Of
closing its case againse Henry Siegel
to-day.
Mr.. Train explained, when the court
declared an adjournment until Monday,
that he had only one more witness,
simply TO identify some account books,
and then he would rest. He asked for
three minutes more time to do this,
but Judge Clark declined to continue
the session longer
II is expected that the big fight of
the trial, on which will really pivot the
outcome of the case, will come Mon
day as soon as the prosecution rests.
The motions of the defence then will
be made. The most important will be
Mr.. Stanchheld's motion to strike out.
as he said tonight, about nineteen
twentieths" of the evidence so far ad-
mitted on the ground that il is not
relevant 10 the issue
The contention of the prosecution is
that Siegel took part in a conspiracy
with Vogel, Prall and others. one Of
the results Of the conspiracy being the
stealing of S6S4 O5 by mean Of false
financial statement.
Case Hinges on Plot Pact
tentatively accepting this theory.
the court has allowed testimony, max
ing up the great bulk of the record,
admittedly dealing with acts and con-
versations done with Vogel's knowl-
edge, but not in Siegel's presence nor
with his direct knowledge.
Both sides agree that unless the
conspiracy is shown, making Siegel and
Vogel responsible for each others acts,
all this testimony involving Vogel is
not binding on Siegel.
The defence pins its faith on the
courts ruling that the conspiracy has
not been shown according 20 the rules
of law, and will enter its argument on
the motion Monday 10 strike out all
testimony Of acts not committed in
SiegeTs presence or with his knovl-
edge.
Should this be the ruling Of the
court the states case would fall. II is
the expectation of the prosecution,
however, that the court viii rule the
question Of the conspiracy is for the
determination of the jury as q matter
Of fact, and not for the court as mat
ter OF law
Therefore, so far as Important evil
dence goes, the case came to an end
to-day for both sides. The defence
will call only three or four witnesses
to tell of Siegels functions as the
merchandising or I'm the bankrupt
enterprises he built up, and then they
will close, depending upon argument
to the court and jury TO break down
the peoples case.
A parade of character witnesses was
allowed, by consent of the prosecution,
to interrupt for half an hour the
states witnesses this morning The
first was Joseph Johnson, former Fire
Commissioner of New York City. His
testimony began with an expression OF
admiration for Siegel. the prisoner at
the bar. and ended with an expression
of contempt for Mayor Mitchell of New
York.

VIII Miss the Cecilie.

Arrangements are practically completed
for the removal OF the ocean liner Kron-
prinzessin Cecilie from Bar Harbor to
Boston, probably the last of this week.
Bar Harbor will miss the Cecilie, espec-
tally the water company. The bill OF the
ship for water amounts to $40 per day.
Water, however, is about the only thing
which the ship buys in Bar Harbor. All
her other supplies are sent from Boston.
On one trip, the j. T. Morse brought
forty-two tons OF supplies for the Cecilie.
At present there are $50 officers and
men on board the ship. Some idea OF
what it takes to feed this crew may be
gathered from the fact that four barrels of
potatoes are required for each meal.
Coal for the furnaces and ranges on the
liner is brought in by lighters.

Bar Harbor will miss the ocean liner
Kronprinzessin Cecilie, which has been a
summer attraction at the famous resort.
An order was issued by Judge Clarence
Hale in the United States district court
last Friday directing that the steamship
be transferred to the district of Massachu-
sets. The United States marshal OF the
district of Maine, John 5. P. Fl. Wilson,
was ordered to provide the necessary con-
voy for the ship, and to make such other
arrangements as may be required. The
reason given for the removal OF the ship is
that it was not safe for her to remain at
Bar Harbor on account OF ice. 1t is stated
unofficially that the transfer OF the
steamer is made with the full consent Of
the belligerent powers OF Europe. The
libel for S1,04o,0o0, which has been filed
against the steamship by the Guarantee
Trust Co., Of New York, has been with
drawn on account of change of jurisdic-
ton, but another has been brought in
Massachusetts, and will be filed as soon as
the steamship reaches Massachusetts
waters

Ealing up Out of a Balloon.

II a man falls out Of a rising aero
plane or balloon he will not go toward
the earth. but will continue rising into
the air for an appreciable time II the
air machine were stopped in It's ascent
at the time II could catch the man
as he came down. If the airship were
ascending at the rate of thirty-two feet
a second the man would rise sixteen
feet before beginning to fall toward
the earth. Thus. by reducing the speed
of its ascent. the vessel might keep by
the side of the man and rescue him.
The reason why the man rises Is the
same as the reason for bullets rising
when shot from gun into the air
both the man and the bullet are given
a velocity upward. and it takes some
time for gravity to negative that
velocity.-Glasgow News.

Maine Seed Improvement association will

If the democrats have control at the
organization of the legislature next
January, Hancock county will furnish
the secretary of state in the person of
John E. Bunker, the present clerk of
courts of Hancock county. That's
good! It's a pretty big job, and a
pretty big man for the job, with just
the same salary attached as to that of

consolation in the fact that they come
