LONDON, Nov. THE Russian
general staff reports that having
driven the Germans back to their
border in the north and forced their
center to retire from the Vistula to
the Warthe river, the Russians have
turned their attention to the Austri
ans, who have so stubbornly been
holding their positions along the San
river in Galicia.
According to a telegram received
from Grand Duke Nicholas, the Rus
slams have won a victory more inn
portant than any preceding it. The
Russians say they have again occu-
pied Jaroslau, north of Przemysl,
capturing 5000 prisoners and much
war material. 1t is believed here,
however, that there will have to be
another big battle on the water be-
fore the armies of Emperor Nicholas
seriously threaten Silesia.
Little Change in West.
In the struggle between the Germans
and the allies in The west there has
again been little, if any, change. The
Germans, twice baked in their attempt
to reach the French coast, are preparing
for another attack which, like the last,
is directed at the line held by the Brit
ish on both sides of the town of Ypres,
where for a fortnight some of the most
sanguinary fighting of the war has been
in progress and where the casualties on
both sides, perhaps, have been larger
than those on such n restricted front in
any previous battle.
A Berlin official report claims that the
Germans have made progress here, but
this is in direct contradiction to the
claims of the allies, who say that they
are holding all their positions ana have
made some advances.

Reports come from the Dutch frontier
that the Germans are making prepara-

Elsewhere along the great front there
has been a repition Of isolated en-
counters, which, in the French official
communications are referred to as minor
affairs, but which in ordinary wars
would be considered fair-szed battles.
The British fleet, according to unoffi-
cial accounts, again has taken action
along the Belgian coast and has been
bambarding Knocke and zeebrugge'
where the Gefmans are supposed to be
