Official Report of
French War Office

Paris, Nov. 12.-The official state
ment issued by the War Office tonight
was as follows:
ITO the north we have held on all
our positions. The enemy has sought
to debouch from Dixmude by night
attack, but has been repulsed.
I'VE have resumed the offensive
against the enemy who had crossed the
River User and have driven him back
at all points except at one place where
he still occupies from 200 TO 800
metres on the left bank
I'm the centre we have gained some
ground in the region of Tracy-le-Val,
70 the northeast of the forest of
pAigne.
I'm the Argonne region the German
attacks have been very serious, but
have amounted to nothing"
The afternoon communication from
the War Office says:
"On our left wing the fighting still
continues with violence and has been
conducted with alternate advances and
retirements without Importance. Speak
ing broadly, the battle front has not
varied greatly since November 10. In
the evening Of yesterday it extended
along the line between Lombaertzyde
and Nieuport; the Newport Canal TO
Ypres; the approaches of Ypres; in
the region OF Zonnebeke, and TO the
east of Armentieres.
There has been no change in the
positions held by the British army,
which repulsed the attacks of the
enemy, and particularly an offensive
movement undertaken by detachment
of the Prussian Guard.
From the canal of La Bassee as far
as and up TO the River Disc there have
been minor engagements.
an the region of the River Aisne, in
the neighborhood of Vailly, we re-
tanned our positions against counter
attack, and we strengthened our posi-
tions in the territory previously con-
quered by us.
an the region of Craonne and on the
Heurtebise farm our artillery sue
ceeded in reducing TO silence the cam
non of the enemy. Several of their
pieces were even destroyed. We also
made some. progress in the vicinity of
Berry BAG.
an the Argonne, in the Woevre dis
trict, in Lorraine and in the Vosges
the respective positions show no
change"

GLOVES SOAR; WAR
GETS MANY GOATS

Wearers Of French kid gloves may
expect an advance in price, due 20 the
war, according to information that
reaches here. The arrival of Indian
troops to join the Allies is held re-
sponsible, it is said, for these fighters
are eating almost six thousand goats
a day. Sheep and lamb skins are being
used in the trenches as mattresses or
are going into clothing or camp sup
ply outfits.
assuming that the war lasts only
six months writes the Grenoble man
ager of p. Centemeri & Co.'S factory,
"and that these troops remain in
Western Europe until the end Of that
time, then, at 500 dozen a day, they
will have consumed approximately
10000 dozen skins.
There is a remark that additional
contingents of Indian troops may be
coming over. so that our figures would
appear rather conservative. In any
case. they are given 20 you only TO
show that there is likely 70 be 4 short
age in French kid skins owing 10 this

RUSSIAN ADVANCE
STARTLES BERLIN
Dismay in Capital as the
People Hear of East
ern Conditions.
lRr Cable 70 The Tribnne.l

Copenha gen, Nov. 12.-Profound dis
may has been caused in Berlin by the
news which had been carefully sup
pressed by he censor, that the Rus
sian invaders have again crossed the
eastern frontier ana have advanced
into the provinces Of East Prussia and
Posen. The news, though not published
in the newspapers, has reached Berlin
through refugees from the frontier
districts of the invaded provinces, who
fled TO escape the horrors Of war.
The memory of the earlier Russian
invasion of East Prussia was just be
ginning 20 fade, and practically all
fugitives who fled in the earlier days
had been re-establi5hed ~ their homes.
Their temperance in Berlin and other
towns of the interior IN a state OF
greater panic than ever has caused
much greater impression than the
earlier flight.
Suppression Of news by the censor
merely increases public anxiety. The
prevailing depression has been further
augmented by the news which has
filtered through from Vienna that the
return of civilians 10 their homes IN
Western Galicia around Cracow has
been stopped by the Austrian govern
ment. These fugitives rushed from
Galicia TO Vienna during the earlier
periods of the Russian invasion.
Recently, during operations in Rus
sian Poland. the au h)rities had been
sending them home in patches. The
sudden order that no more be allowed
10 return 70 Gali,.a for the present has
caused a very pad impression IN Vienna
and indirectly in Berlin.
News Of the latest Russian advance
has been carefully suppressed by all
German-Au newspapers. The
Austro- German forces are still thought
by the public TO be m the heart Of Rus
sian Poland and on the verge Of capt
uring Wl.5aw.

TSINC-TAO COST
JAPAN 1900 MEN
British Lost IL Killed and
81 Wounded in TAX
ing Fortress.

Picking, Nov. PA Japanese mill
tary report received in Peking sets
forth that the casualties TO the Japan
csc army before Tsing-Tao were some
thing over 800 According to reports
from Tsing-Tao itself, received before
the German wireless ceased operating,
this number does not represent the
correct total. The British lost twelve
men killed and siXty-one men wounded.
The Japanese recital indicates that
the German losses were small because
the garrison surrendered as soon as
the Japanese infantry stormed the
trenches. No detailed report of the
Tsng-Tao campaign from the German
standpoint has been received here.
The Foreign Office has notified the
Japanese Legation that II expects the
removal Of the Japanese military rail-

German Emperor, through the japanese
Legation at Pehing. under date OF
November Q, in which he says:
After exhaustinE all efforts, the

broken through in the centre and fell.
The fortress and town were badly dam
aged by the fire from the howitzers
and a strong bombardmer- --om the

GOSHEN DENTIST AND
SON DENY CHARGES
Town Wrought Up Over Indict-
ment of Two on Testimony
of Little Girl.

GOSHEN, Ind. July 11.-Dr Ed
Horace Burr Cunningham, %, the
former a well known dentist and pol
itician, and the other known in So
ciety circles, have been indicted by
the grand jury here for an alleged
assault on little Loire Stuart, IA. The
arrest of the two men and their in
dictment has given the city one of the
greatest sensations in years.
Both men are out on 1000 bonds
each. They claim that the story has
been trumped up by competing bust
ness men of the city and that they
are innocent Of any such charge.
The alleged assault took place
nearly a year ago when the girl was
13 years old Since then she has be-
come a mother and is in very frail
health. Her father and mother are
dead and she is living at the home
of a grandmother, Mrs. Lloyd Stuart,
who is taking an active part in the
prosecution OF the two men.
The girl was a domestic in the Cum
ningham home, according to her
story, when the assault occurred.
That another girl, a close friend of
Lorie's. will be one of the states most
important witnesses. is their claim.
The entire vicinity Of the city is up
in arms over the affair especially so
since United States authorities, who
were at one time investigating it,
dropped the matter entirely.
