BRITISH SHOCKED
BY LEAKAGE Of
NAVAL SECRETS
Three Attempts by German
Submarines to Enter Ports
Reveal Spy System and Lord
Kitchener Gets Busy.

LONDON, Dec. 12.-Three attempts
by German submarines to enter Brit
lsh ports within less than a month has
convinced the admiralty officers that
the spy system" which has betrayed
10 German military movements sup
posed to be known only TO high au-
thorities, has also succeeded in learn
ing many naval secrets. The officials
believe that the submarines would not
have dared To attack ports guarded
by mines unless their commanders
knew the location of the mines.
A thorough investigation is being
conducted to ascertain the manner in
which the mine maps came into pos
session of the enemy. Deeper interest
is added to this inquiry by news that
on Wednesday morning German sub
marines made two attacks on the Firth
of Forth. A dispatch from Edin-
burgh reports that two Of the Ger
man vessels were sunk but no official
announcement TO this effect has been
issued by the admiralty.
Raid Shocks Officials.
Naval headquarters maintain the
same silence in reference to the Firth
of Forth episode as that in reference
to the attack on Dover earlier in the
week and on Yarmouth some time
ago.
This submarine raid at Yarmouth
was backed by squadron Of German
warships, but practically nothing has
been allowed to appear in the papers
about It. 1t certainly gave the admir-
atty and war office a shock.
When Lord Kitchener was told OF
the raid at his residence almost before
he was out of bed. he gave orders for
every official in the war office to re-
main indoors until he arrived. When
the secretary did arrive he had maps
of the whole east coast brought before
him and spent the morning studying
them. No one was allowed to disturb
him. Then he sent for Winston
Churchill. first lord of the admiralty,
and the two were clOSeted together
for several hours.
Immediately the mouth of every
important river was mined, but other
precautions of which the public knew
were also made few nights, the
railroads of the Great Eastern system
were also placed at the disposal of the
government and in one night $4,000
troops were transported from various
camps to position which had been Sc
lected for them. Further patches are
TO follow.
New Guns i'm Position.
A number of the new, big guns just
completed at WOolwich and in Scot
land have already been placed IN posi-
ton at various points and masked so
completely that the inhabitants are
unaware of their existence in the
neighborhood. The fact is that were
a German force TO land on any part
of the east coast of Britain 1T would
have small chance of gaining more
than a foothoId. thoroughly COM
prehensive scheme of defense has
been worked out by Lord Kitchener

PETROGRAD, Dec. 12.-F'ive sep
.rate battles are raging in Poland and
Galicia where Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg. who is now in supreme COM
mand of all the German and Austrian
armies, is struggling desperately
against the Russians counter Assaults
To maintain the offensive.
Enormous losses are marking the
German drive toward Warsaw, but the
German field marshal holds his. pres
ent plan of campaign To he OF such
vital Importance that all regard for
the cost in human life has been lost
in the gigantic struggle which IS now
under way
For the time being fanking opera
lions have ceased and over the greater
part of the long battle front 1t IS now
a fight for strategic railways over
which the troops and supplies can be
moved.
More men. more men," is the cry
which the Germans are constantly
sounding in the ears OF the Berlin
government.
The five zones of action are located
on the line which now extends IN the
form of a vast semicircle. The line
roughly speaking, is as follows:
Southeast of AIlawa: in the Vistula
valley north OF LOwicz; along the
Rzura valley; southwest of PietrokoW
and around CracOw, in Gallcla. 10
which point the Germans are constant
y sending such reinforcements as they
can spare from the campaign in East

land to roll back the Russians and re

sian general staff announces, and the
Russians are pushing forward fresh
troops TO follow up their advantage.

degree Of speed except IN regions
where the railway lines may be util-

NTIawa chose the route of the Mlawa-
Now-y-Dwor railway.
Battle Without Result.
The Russians admit that the battle
which Is in progress south of CracOw
is still without result, but on the
other hand they claim that the ad-
vance OF three OF the German armies
that were moving in the direction OF
Warsaw from the north and the west
has been definitely checked and the
Germans will either have 10 stop 10
entrench or fall back. y degree OF

the Russo Austro- German neld OF op-
erations Is developing along the line
,uDniug south from the Nistula
through Lowicz. LODI and west of
Pietrokow. There the Russians had
he advantage CT getting their heavy
artillery 10 the front before the Ger
mans could bring up their big guns
and the Germans tried 10 offset this
advantage by surprise attacks at night,
which are still in progress.
Trench life in Poland Is working
