Germans were put to rout, their right
wing being turned and that they are
still being pursued. German losses
arc described as enormous. 1t has
been suggested I'm London that the
Russians would content themselves
with remaining on the defensive In
Poland following recent German sue
cesses there and that, sending rcin-
forcementS into Galicia, they would at
tempt To invade Germany from tho
south, across the SileSian border.
FALL OF LODI NOT ADMITTED
Although Russia has not yet adj
mitted the fall of Lodz, the official
announcement contains the suggestion
that the lighting In that vicinity has
been less in her favor than Is said to
he the ease i'm Galicia. 1t Is stated
that I'm the battle near Piotrokow, IL
Polish city, twenty-five miles southeast
of LODI. they were only partially sue
ccssful." To the north engagements
are in progress To the east of the bor-
der of East Prussia. \ previous Off
cial statement from Berlin spoke of
the presence of Russians on German
territory about thirty miles west of the
frontier.
According TO current reports i'm
Rome, Germany does not look to Italy
as possibly ally and is bending all
her efforts to keep that nation out of
the war. II Is said that Prince Won
Buelow. the former German councillor,
now serving as ambassador To Rome,
has been authorized To arrange the
ccssiOn Ivy Austria to Italy of the prov
inCc of Trent. This province, formerly
Italian territory and populated largely
by Italians, has been i'm possession of
Austria for q century.
Attacks by the allies and counter
attacks ny the Germans In tho west
apparently have not thus far made
essential changes in the positions of
the opposing armies. The Germans
have resumed the offensive in Belgium
with force. In the Argonne also hard
fighting is i'm progress.

ITALY MAY BE GIVEN TRENT
New German Ambassador Said TO Be
Authorized TO Offer Gift

Rome, Dec. s. 1855 p. m.-"Prince
Won Beulow, the new German Am
bassador to Italy, says the Idea
Nazionale, comes to Rome authorized
TO negotiate the cession of the prov
ince of Trent to Italy in exchange for
the maintenance of neutrality by Italy.
1t is asserted that Austria. on Ger
many's invitation. will proclaim the
independence to Trent because a ma
jority of the population is Italian, and
after this is done that Italy will occupy
Trent
Austria will make a protest for the
sake of appearances, but Germany
viii recognize the annexation of the
province of Trent to Italy. Some per-
sons even assert that Trieste will be
proclaimed free town under an Aus
trian protectorate."

Commercial club members did not at
tempt to analyze the kind of improve

done this winter to furnish work for
the unemployed population Of Rich

nights meeting advising the city and
all persons contemplating building to
begin as soon as possible.
The following resolution was adopt
ed:
"Inasmuch as there are a great
number Of men unemployed in the
city at this time and the winter
season near at hand we would re-
spectfuIIy urge the City Admins
tration to push forward at this
time as much as possible all public
improvements which have been
planned for next year, thus provtd-
ing labor for the unemployed and
II necessary issue public improve
ment bonds with which to secure
funds for making these improve
ments at this time.
"Be It Resolved, That we urge
all persons contemplating improve
ments or buildings for next year
to begin these improvements as
soon as possible thus affording la
Dor for part Of the number Of un-
employed.
"We would urge this for the rea-
sons:
"That there is a large number Of
men in the city that need the work
and need it now, perhaps worse
than they will next summer.

LONDON. Nov. 1O.-The German
cruiser Koenigsberg has been i'm
prisoned by British ships off the coast
of German east Africa and cannot

"The German cruiser Koenigsberg
has been imprisoned near Malta
Island, off German East Africa by the
sinking of colliers in the navigable
part of the channel. The Koenigsberg

The Sydney opened fire upon the
German ship and the latter, being un-
able to out-distance her rival, stood
by in the Coco Island group and gave
battle.
After sharp fight, during which
the Emden was badly damaged by the
Sydney's shells, the Emden ran
ashore.
Cruiser in Flames.
The Emden had been set afire by
fire shells and was burning briskly
when she was beached. The Sydney
fired a few more shells into the
stranded ship and then drew off. The
Emden was completely destroyed and
the loss of life on board was very
heavy. The casualties on the Sydney
were three killed and fifteen wound
ed.
Emden Speedy Boat.
The Emden's displacement was
$500 tons. Her ordinary complement,
was 361.
The Emden was very speedy boat
being able to work up nearly 25 knots
an hour and this enabled her to es
cape from pursuit during the long
time she was sinking British merchan,
ships in the Pacific and adjacent wat
ers. She was heavily armored and
her armaments consisted of ten 4-inch
guns of 4O-calibre; two machine guns
and two 1S-inch submerged torpedo
tubes.
Since the Emden began her depre
dations upon British commerce, she
has sunk thirty ships and has done
millions of dollars worth of damage
The most of the Emden's operations
were confined to the Indian ocean.
The admiralty announces, with the
destruction of the Emden and bottling
up of the Koenigsberg, the Indian
ocean and Pacific have been cleared
of German ships except for the squad
ron off the South American coast
"All the assistance possible was
given to the survivors on the Emden,
says the admiralty.
THE Emden had landed a force
upon Coco Island to destroy the wire

engaged in those operations the Sgd
