Berlin Experts Say Result
in Russia May Be Delayed

Berlin ,Via London). Nov. 2i.-- Mill
,ary observers here express the opinion
that the success Of General MaCken-
sens army near LODI, I'm Russian Po-
land. apart from the enormous number
Of Russian prisoners taken. has served
further 20 improve the German-Aus-
trian situation In the East
The most important event or the
fighting. army officers point out, was
the destruction by the Germans Of 100
cannon. which the Russians will be un-
able TO replace without the greatest
difficulty. While the approach Of new
Russian reinforCemertS has delayed a
decision, the fact that those reinforce
ments will not be able 20 arrive stimuli
taneously with rcinforCements from
Warsaw Will give the Germans a
chance. military men assert, TO attack
The oncomins forces before they can
combine.
The continual calling forth Of new
and large reinforCcments shows. it is
said. that the Russians are aware OF
the seriousness OF their situation. Lo-
cal military critics believe that de
cision is very near. They warn the
public. however, to remember the
enormous number Of soldiers engaged
and the great length Of the battle front,
which. although the situation IS faN-
orable for the Teu,on allies, may de-
lay q decision for long time.

reliable information" states that
neutral who left Berlin less than
fortnight ago declares that United
States officials at a certain well known
city in the south of Germany are
investigating TO discover the where
abouts of no fewer than 200 missing
United States and British passports.
These had passed through the hands
of the American officials for registra-
tion with German authorities. As they
were not promptly returned inquiry
was made. The answer was that they
had been mislaid. The German regis
traitor office made haste to explain
that there was no doubt as TO the reg
ularity of the passports under consid-
Grafton, but that 1t was impossible 10
return the originals 20 their rightful
owners, as they had been lost. The
United States authorities were, there
fore, called upon TO issue duplicates in
the form of citizenship certificates.

Touching on the large colonies of Eu-

One other point the speaker made
was that he did not advocate an alli-

South America in supporting the Doc

the smaller nations jealous.

CHURCHILL SURE
NAVY WILL DO DUTY
Continued from page I

D per cent of the mercantile marine
in the first three months of the war,
the First Lord Of the Admiralty said
the percentage had been only 10. The
danger from mines was one the limit
of which could be discerned, and which
could further be restricted and con-
trolled.
OF the older armored cruisers, the
First Lord said, Great Britain had lost
six and Germany two. At the begin
ming of the war Great Britain had thir-
ty-six light modern cruisers to Ger
many's twenty-five.
Discussing mines, Mr.. Churchill said
the enemy had adopted methods which
before the outbreak of the war 1t was
not thought would be practised by any
civilized power, and he was glad 10 tell
the House that although Great Britain
had suffered losses from mines the dan
ger from them had been. and still was
being. further restricted and controlled
by measures taken by the navy.
Submarines, the First Lord Of the
Admiralty asserted, had introduced en-
tirely novel conditions In naval war
fare The old freedom Of movement
which formerly belonged to the strong
or power was restricted 40 narrow
waters by the development OF subma-
rines. II was necessary for the SAFETY
of this country. he said. that the fleet
should move with freedom and hardi-
hood. though anxiety must always be
present.
Mr.. Churchill remarked that the Brit
ish power in submarines was much
greater than that of the enemy. The
only trouble was that the British yes
sells so seldom had target TO attack.
Mr. Churchiil's most persistent critic,
Admiral Lord Charles Beresford tre-
tired, wanted explanations Of the re-
cert naval management. but Mr..
Churchill declined to give these on the
ground that the time would not be ripe
nniil all the factors could be Discussed.

BRITAIN'S CREDIT
NEAR 80 BILLIONS
Lloyd George and Church
i'll Give Parliament
ROSeate Pictures.

London. Nov. 27.-Both houses Of
Parliament adjourned to-day until the
new year. The House Of Lords will re-
assemble January 6, but the House of
Commons will not be in session again
until February 2
David Lloyd George. Chancellor Of
the EXchequer. and Winston Spencer
Churchill. First Lord Of the Admiralty,
reviewed respectively the status Of the
country's finances and of the navy to
the members Of the House.
Each presented cheeful picture
OF the condition of the branches of
government over which he presides.
The Chancellor's statement on the
subscription TO the largest war loan
ever foated was eagerly awaited lie
announced that the loan had been over
subscribed, but did not mention the
amount, adding that there were nearly
100000 applications for the bonds,
great number of them for small
amounts. The small subscribers, he
said. would be given preference in the
allotment
Mr. Lloyd George estimated that fi,-
000,000000 (S20,OO0OO00 worth Of
good foreign securities were held in
Great Britain at the beginning of the
war, while the assets of the country
were estimated at another gl3.000,-
100000 1865, 100000, ,000). and that the
cOuntry's credit was nearly elS,000,-
100000 (S90,OOO.O .0OO).
IL is a noteworthy fact that great
majority Of the recent criticisms of
the government have come from Lib
eral and Labor members of the House.
The important Liberal newspapers
have suggested that 10 would be for
the country's interests for Parliament
20 remain in almost continuous ses-
sion, so that the government could
be called upon for frequent eXplana-
tions as 20 the conduct of the war.
The decision 20 have the House of
Lords reconvene earlier than the
House of Commons. which is very
unusual action. was made at the re-
quest Of Lord Curzon, who said that
an adjournment until February was
altogether too long.
The Marquis of Grove. the Liberal
leader in the House of Lords, replied
that the proceedings of the Lords as
to Adjournment were not governed by
the proceedings of the House Of Com
mons, and that he was quite willing
that the Lords meet earlier. Adjourn
mcnt therefore was taken until Janu-
any s.
Niscount Haldane. the Lord Chan
ceilor. gave an undertaking during the
session that between now and the re-
assembling of Parliament no British
civilian tried by court martial would
be deprived of his life. The subject
was raised by Earl Loreburn, who
moved an amendment to the defence
Of the realm bill. so as to provide
that a British born civilian charged
under the act should have the right
to demand trial by the ordinary civil
court. Viscount Ilaldane pointed out
that the amendment would kill the
bill. and Earl Loreburn withdrew II
on the above assurance being given
him.

with the arrival Of the Cunard

the report that the lost battle cruiser
Audncious had been Aoated and IS now
undergoing repairs at the big CRAVING
dock Of Harlqad & Wolff, at Belfast.
This report was brought by well
known newspaper man Of this city VINO

for five months. News Of the saving

he said, had been censored and kept
quiet with as much care as had been
the news of the vessels loss.

into Belfast, nor did | see her in the
shipyards at that port" he asserted.
But from highly reliable source
learned that she had been hoated and
will again be put into service. Inc

about the sinking Of the Audaclous
informed me shortly before | sailed on
the Lusitania that the Audacious had
gone down in not more than touI
fathoms and that after her guns had
been taken Oft she was hoated and
towed to Belfast"
Other passengers on the Lusitanla
who professed to know something
about the Audacious said that she had
been sunk i'm water so deep that she
could never be raised and had been
blown up so as not to be a menace 20
navigation. Several officers on the
Lusitania said that the salving of the
Audaclous was not only unreasonable
TO suppose but impossible to perform.
Among the Lusitanias passengers
was James Gordon Bennett, owner OF
"The New York Herald" who comes
here on business, and will return 10
Paris by the Lusitania on her next
eastward trip.
Although he has been in Paris
throughout the war Mr.. Bennett de-
clined to discuss the conflict.

ONLY INQUIRIES,
SAYS MR.. BRYAN
Mr.. Wilson'S Step Becomes
Known Through Reported
Talks with Diplomatists.
lrrom The Tribune Bureau.l


Washington. Nov. 27-The dropping
OF bombs from aircraft is the subject Of
enquiries" which the American diplo-
matte representatives in the capitals OF
the beligcrent nations have been di-
rectcd by Secretary Bryan to make, IN
the hope that some steps may be taken
to stop the practice in the case of un-
fortified places, where the lives Of nom
combatants are imperilled.
"The inquiries are in no sense rep
resentations, said Mr.. Bryan to-day.
"Our representatives have merely been
asked 70 make informal inauiries. and
no representations have been made to
the powers"
1t was stated that President Wilson
directed that the inquiries be made
nearly two months ago. The shelling
Of Antwerp by German Zeppclins was
one incident about which inquiry was
made II is expected that inquiry will
also be made about the recent shelling
Of Warsaw by the Germans, when q
bomb exploded near the American Con-
sulate.
The facts with respect 10 the Presi-
dents previous expression came TO
light through the publication of n re
port that the President had discussed
the matter with European diplomatists
here. This, however, was denied by
some Of the prominent diplomatists
mentioned in connection with 1t, IN
cluding the German Ambassador.

that the President called attention TO

1907, 10 which all the principal bellig-
erents are signatory. which provides
for notice Of twenty-four hours before
bon bardment or attack in order that
non -combata Is may remove them
selves from the danger zone.
Whether there have been any unohi-
cial responses from the belllgerents
was not known here to-day. but Ameri-
