Progress of the Campaign
in Eastern Theater of War
Described by Correspondent

LONDON, November 1.-THE Petro-
grad correspondent of the Daily Tele
graph. in a dispatch dated Friday, out
lines the operations of the present
week in the eastern war theater. His
dispatch follows:
During Tuesday and Wednesday
there was uninterrupted fighting on the
German side of the eastern frontier of
East Prussia. The German Wirballen
army (Wirballen is in Suwalki, Rus
sian Poland. almost on the east Prus-
sian boundary line), with it's base in a
formidable series of fortified positions.
made strong efforts to turn the Rus
SLAMS out of their trenches, but all at
tacks were successfully repulsed.
From Tuesday until Thursday the
Russians. advancing from the Bakalar-
zevo-Lyck line, slowly thrust the
enemy back to the Mazurian lake re-
gion Cast Prussia), where the Ger
mans have the advantage of enormous
natural obstacles in the network OF
lakes and swamps and are aided by

GOTHAM STREET CROWD
RECOGNIZES PRESIDENT
Incognito Discovered and He Takes
Refugein Hotel to Emerge by
Back Way.

NEW YORK, November 14.-President
Wilson found tonight he could not hope
to escape recognition in New York, even
when he appeared upon the street as an
unobtrusive private citizen. He tried II
and failed.
After spending the day playing golf at
the Piping Rock Club, on Long Island,
the President returned and announced
that he intended to spend the evening
quietly at the home of Col. L. NJ. House
on SD street. He changed his mind
However.
At $3.50 o'clock this evening he and
Col House started for a stroll on Broad
way. They were attended only by a
couple of secret service men. who re-
mained some distance i'll the rear.
President Is Recognized.
Soon the President and his escort
halted for a moment to listen to the
music provided at a Salvation Army
open-air meeting. Right there Mr.. Will
sons incognito came to an end.
Its Wilson! It's President Wilson !"
shouted the discoverer.
Instantly the Salvationists were de-
serted The crowd followed the Presi-
dent and his host, The secret service
men closed in quickly.
Two blocks farther on a volunteer
street orator. discussing the Mexican sit
uation, gained the chief executive as an
auditor. The President smiled and start
ed on as the speaker eulogized villa and
excoriated CarranZa- The orator soon
was deserted, the thronS trailing the
President.
The next stop in the Wilson itinerary
was street suffragist meeting. The
feminine speaker was interrupted in
her address as the hundreds who fol-
lowed the President came up. The
crowd, shouting "Hurrah for Wilson,,
had by this time gained alarming pro-
portions.
Two or three New York patrolmen
volunteered to assist the secret service
operatives in forcing path for the
citys distinguished visitor They be-
gan looking for safe haven
Hotel Is Refuge.
The suggestion was made. as they
reached 34th street, that they seek the
Waldorf Astoria Hotel, where DR.. Cary
Grayson, the Presidents physician. is
a guest The hotel was reached safely.
The police made lane for Mr.. Wilson.
AS he gained the door the President
turned and waved his hand. saying:
Goodbye, I'm going to get away
from you now"
AS the cfOWu SurPeu drouHu tue S4In
street entrance Mr.. Wilson, Col. House
and their guardians were taken to the
second floor in an elevator and spirited
out on the 5th avenue side.
AS they gained the street the Presi-
dent caught sight of a painting of
Mrs. Wilson in the window OF an art
store. The President stood sadly and
silently before the window for few
minutes, the crowd evidently forgot
ten.
Then the secret service men hailed a
5th avenue bus In this vehicle the
President of the United States. his ex-
ploration of the city ended for the
night, rode to the home of Col House.

the central point of which is Loetzen.
Fort Blocks Marrow Passage.

Behind Loetzen fort Boyen blocks
the narrow passage between Dargained
and Lowintin lakes. which. except for
this break. form an impossible barrier
extending twenty miles from north to
south. The Germans have all the dry
gaps in this region armed with heavy
artillery, against which they hope the
Russians will dash themselves to
pieces.
The Russian occupation of johann
nisburg Gin East Prussia, about forty
miles south of LoetZen) Is regarded as
a coup of great strategic Importance
1t is assumed that Johannesburg was
the south. If so, their feat was all
the more meritorious, as this route
passes through treacherous swamps
which are defended by wire entangle-
ments and swept by a fire from block
houses. Between Johannesburg and
Billa the Russians continued until yes
terday their advance against East
Prussia.
"At the last Austro-German council
of war held at Cracow. Galicia, Novem-
armies were decided upon, 1t is stated.
New Plan Of Campaign.
Under these plans the German army
was to employ it's left flank to entice
fortresses at Posen, Glogau and Bres-
lau, where they could reach them with
artillery fire, and endeavor to obtain
a crushing victory against one of the
tanks of the invaders by maneuvering
their free field army along the lines of
their extensive network of railways.
Meantime the Austrians were to con-
centrate around Cracow, whence they
would try to inflict as many blows
as possible upon the besiegers, and
also to mass in the Carpathians and
attack the Russian left flank.
Yesterday the Russians were across
the Wisloka river, Galicia, and had
occupied Dambica at a point where the
railway between Jaroslaw and Tarnow
crosses the Wis1oka. The Austrians,
who retreated southwark after the last
battles, have occupied an entrenched
position covering the bridge at Turka,
where they evidently intend to accept

German View of Fighting.
The military headquarters in Berlin
today gave out an official announcement
as follows:

past few days have been impeded by
the rain and stormy weather and
are therefore proceeding slowly.
South of Ypres We have taken 700
prisoners.

brought about by the German attempt
to advance to Dunkirk and Calais. on
the northern coast of France, COM
menced just four weeks ago today. De-
spite terrific fighting and the sacrince
of thousands of lives the two armies
still hold virtually the same POSITIONS
as they did when the nrst shol WAS

After taking Antwerp and ostend
the German forces proceeded with lit
tie or no opposition as far as Nieuport
on the User canal Here they found
against them the Belgian army, re-
formed, as well as an enf1lading nre
from British monitors. and they were
unable to make any progress. FLOODS

invaders and they commenced an ef-
fort to break through the allied line
between Dixmude and Ypres.

The Germans have had one or two
minor, sometimes only temporary sue

canal and the capture Of Dixmude,
but now, according to official and
other reports, while they still hold a

Roumania senate and director of Bu-
charest University. who says:
Recent allegations by the Hungarian
premier Count Tisza, who informed an
Italian newspaper that Roumanian
opinion was being Influenced by Rus

without foundation. On the contrary.
the Germans have spent large sums
buying Roumanian newspapers. but
have been unable to alter public desire
to establish an alliance with the triple
entente.

German opinion is quite sanguine as
to the results.
IAN armistice would be welcomed in
Berlin, primarily on account of the
rest it would give the Germany army.
All arms badly require spell in which
to recuperate, but an armistice would
be chiefly employed by the Wilhelm
strasse in redoubling its efforts to sow
dissension among the allies.
German statesmen are possessed of
the idea that sooner or later they will
stir up trouble in this connection. and

quest to the grand chancellor of the
Legion of Honor to remove him from

records the opinion that Hedin COM
mitted a serious breach of the laws of
honor in pursuing through neutral
papers a violent anti-French campaign
despite the three especially warm re-
ceptions. by the geographical society, to
whom he assured his unalterable de-
votion to France. His attacks on Eng
land and Russia caused equal indigna-

support he received from Russia during
