war SUMMARY
SYNOPSIS OF CONDITIONS RE-
PORTED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, Nov. Especial: Hav-
ing rested and with fresh reinforce
ments to their support, the German
troops who have been battling in
Belgium and the north of France for
what seems to be an almost intermin-
able period, r renewing their eff
forts to push their way through the
French, British and Belgian lines to
reach the much desired ports on the
English channel.
Not only here, but in the Argonne
region and the Woevre district, the
fighting has been of the fercest char
acter. 1t is said that the laundering
OF the big guns of the British war
ships off Ostend can be heard on the
English coast.
In all these engagements the dead
and wounded are multiplying. but
there are thousands to take their
places. The transportation of the
wounded into the zone of safety
where they can receive proper atten-
ton is proving a problem that has
not yet been solved; hospitals and
surgeons are inadequate for the num-
bers fallen.
The larger ships of the German
navy remain under the protection of
their harbors. The submarines con-
tinue to show activity and another
British cruiser has been sent to the
bottom as a result of a raid by one
of these destructive vessels.
The official announcement Of the
sinking of the light cruiser Hermes in
the straits of Dover gives no details
except that she was destroyed by a
German submarine and that most of
her officers and men were saved.
Because of the attack on her coast
towns on the Black sea by Turkish
warships, Russia has instructed her
ambassador at Constantinople to an
nounce to the sublime porte the sew
erance of diplomatic relations and his
prospective departure from that city.
According to messages reaching
Washington from the Turkish cap
ital. war has been officially declared
between Turkey and Russia, but this
is hardly to be considered likely, as
both Russia and Great Britain have
demanded an explanation from the
porte of Turkeys action and are
awaiting a reply.
Meanwhile, some of the warships
under the Turkish flag have destroy
ed a number of vessels of the Rus
sian navy. and it Is reported from
Constantinople by way of Rome that
the Russian feet has attacked the
Turkish fleet In the Black sea off the
Crimean coast.
The British government CORES
pendent with the Russian army,
Prof. Bernard Pares, in describing
the defeat OF the German forces near
Warsaw, ventured the opinion that
there is little likelihood of a further
German aggressive movement in that
region before winter.
Russian official reports claim prog
ress in several districts on the East
Prussian frontier and the repulse of
the Germans after five days of fight
ing who had been endeavoring to
break through the Russian center in
the Bakalarzewo region.
There is a serious ministerial crisis
at Rome. where the ministry has re-
| signed, and Premier Salandra is
faced with the possibility of having
to form a new ministry. The crisis
has been brought about by the ques-
ton which has arisen over what part
Italy is to take in the European war.

The region where this vessel was
struck is on the first route of the great
Atlantic liners from Liverpool and Of

that the Germans by penetrating this

German rush to reach the French coast

failure to make progress between Dix

counts for the progress claimed by the
allies near scissors, at Berry-Au-Bac,
in the center and to t. east of Nancy
where the Germans according to the
French announcement have been driven
across the frontier. From all these
points it is understood the Germans
took men and flung them into Belgium.
The crown prince of Bavaria is said
now to be in command OF the Ger
man forces IN the Ypres, and it is
reported that he has been wounded.
The weather promises soon to play
an important part in the campaign in
the eastern arena of the war. The

To Avoid Aeroplanee.
The correspondent of the Daily Mail
in Paris, in g. dispatch to his paper,
gives a copy Of the German order on
avoiding aerop1anes. 1t says:
According to the report of aero
plane observers our troops are very
easy to discover in spite Of their gray
uniforms because of the density OF
their formation, while the French
know how to protect themselves per-
fectly from aerial reconnaissance.
During fight our troops must
make use Of the narrow files among
the trees at the edges Of the villages
and near the shelter Of houses, avoid
ing mass formations. Above all abso-
lutte stiffness must be maintained in
exposed places. At the approach OF
an aeroplane all movements should
cease and it is necessary to avoid all

planes are surveying. A single man

should also be no firing. for the flash
