London, Nov. 27.--(9.11 A. Nj
While the belief grows hourly that the
Russians in northern Poland have
won the greatest battle of the war,
actual details of the operation in this
locality still are withheld and the
whole incident is beginning to take
on the aspect of a mystery
From Petrograd comes a report that
the patience of the Russian people,
awaiting official confirmation of the
reported victory, is approaching the
breaking point and the same thing
may be said of the public here. The
German reports without entering into
any such details as dates describe
successful operations in the region OF
this great battle, but admit that the
German army has not succeeded in
bringing the struggle to a close. 1t IS
evident that the comparative failure
of the Austro- German operations
along the Czentochowa front gave the
Russians opportunity to envelop Cen
eral Won Hindenburg after this bril-
liant German leader had thrown a
wedge into his antagonists center.
The Russians to the south, safe on
their own front, were able to strike
northward, thus breaking the enemy,
who had passed east beyond their
right flank.

fess to be astonished at the German

GERMAN SUBMARINES SINK
TWO BRITISH STEAMERS OFF

London, Nov. 27.-G0.20 A. M)-It
was reported by Lloyds today that
TWO British steamers were sunk off
aavre yesterday by German subma-
rines
The steamers We're the Malachite
and the Primo The crews of both YES
sells were rescued. The men from the
Malachite were landed at Southamp-
ton and those from the Primo at Fee
camp, a French port on the English
channel.
Lloyd's report indicates that Ger
nlany's submarines have performed
one of their most daring feats. This
is the first occasion on which their
activities have been reported in these
waters. Apparently they made their
way through the Straits of Dover -
a point more than $50 miles from
their nearest base.
The Malachite was d small steamer
of 718 tons gross. Tho gross tonnage
of the Primo was 1851.

Quiet in West

In the Western war zone compare
tive quiet prevails. No reports Of
heavy fighting have been recorded
here in several days, although there
have been intermittent artillery duels
and at various places small infantry
encounters.
Snow has interfered with the fight
ing in Servia, where the Austrians
are making supreme effort to rid
themselves of their difficulties.
The Rumanian Parliament will meet
tomorrow and the future course u
action of this kingdom probably will
be decided.
1t is said that Roumania is prepared
to cede to Bulgaria some of the terri
tory which she secured after the sec
ond Balkan war at the expense of her
neighbor. This may mean that Bull

to straighten out her boundaries and
take more of the country inhabited by
her nationals.

men who are already in England, 1t
is announced that Australia has rails

the governing committee. In the more
active bond group concessions of two to
three points from July so closing prices
probably will be allowed. but in the more
obscure issues declines may run to as
much as five points. All transactions will

The decision of the authorities of the
exchange to quote all sales on the tickers
will add to the widespread interest in the

interests received numerous of-of-town
inquiries today from correspondents and
clients. Conservative brokers said that
they did not look for any definite trend
during tomorrow's brief session, while
others seemed to fear that offerings
would soon cause an ail-around decline
to minimum prices. thereby bringing the
market to an automatic conclusion.
In no quarter, however. was there any
disposition to decry the sentimental effect
of the reopening. Should the inquiry for
bonds indicate genuine investment de-
mand, it is not at all unlikely that the
governors may consider extending the
trading to the more active stocks before

TAFT DISCUSSES THE MONROE
DOCTRINE and EUROPEAN WAR

Montclair, y. j., Nov. 27.-The Mon
roe Doctrine was strongly endorsed, its
relation to the present European war
discussed and declaration that inter-
ferences by the United States in Mex
leo and Central American states have
had nothing to do with that doctrine,
was made by former President VIII
liam Howard Taft in an address to-
night. The following are some of the
salient features OF his remarks:
THE landing of troops in Canada by
enemies of Great Britain would not
constitute a violation of the doctrine,
but an effort to establish a new form
of government in case of victory
would be violation.
South America Safe
There is little likelihood of the pol
icy being pressed in Argentina, Brazil
and Chile. These countries are able to
protect themselves and they are SO
remote from the United States that
violation of the doctrine in respect to
them would not be harmful to this
country's interest and safety.
The doctrine has not been applied
in Mexico because there is nothing in
1t which requires the United States to
bring about peace in that country.
'Watchful waiting" Mr.. Taft said.
was he term applied to the United
States status, but he went on, we have
neither watched nor waited, but in
fact, most hastily interviewed and thus
find the present anarchy charged as
the logical Consequence of our policy"
Mr.. Taft found much good to say
about the Monroe Doctrine and ex-
pressed the hope that it might not be
abandoned.
In taking up the proposition of Great
Britains enemies landing troops in Can
ada, Mr.. Taft cited the stand of Secreta-
ry Seward, taken when Spain declared
war on Chile. He announced that this
country would not interfere as long as
one country did not seek to infiict its
government on conquered people nor COM
pei a permanent transfer of their terrific
ry, nor resort to any other unjustly op-
pressive measures. Mr.. Taft continued:

No Reason for Alarm

MIR. Churchill added that there was
no reason for nervousness or alarm
regarding the British navy or the
effectiveness Of it's work. The French
navy, he said, has complete command
of the Mediterranean, while the Jap
anese navy is in control of the Pa
cific.
Mr.. Churchill declined to discuss
such topics as the naval engagement
off Helgoland; the destruction of the
British cruisers Monmouth and Good
Hope off the coast of Chile, and the
British naval expedition to Antwerp
prior to the fall of the Belgian for
tress, claiming such discussion would
be profltless until he was able to re-
veal all the facts. Instead he went on
to give a few details regarding the
work the British navy was perform
ing.
Percentage of Loss
While the British admiralty esti-
mated that there would be a loss of
5 per cent of the mercantile marine in
the first three months Of the war, the
lord of the admiralty said, the per-
centage had been only 49, The danger
from mines was one, the limit of
which could be discerned and which
could further be restricted and con-
trolled.
The reason Great Britain was not
able to produce results on a large
scale with submarines, Mr. Churchill
went on, was because they so seldom
had been offered any opportunity to
attack. The losses in submarines sus-
tanned by the British and the Ger
mans had been equal, while the Brit
ish torpedo boat destroyers had shown
an enormous superiority Of gun power.

lost eight or ten," the speaker said. :

declare that unless the Germans ad
vance toward Kutno and LODI was
part of a larger movement, the OPP
Grafton was too hazardous to be cred
ible. The third German army in the
vicinity of Wielun has initiated an
advance which is believed in London
to have been started too late to be
of any use.
On the other battle fronts quiet pre-
walls. Along the Franco-Be Belgian line
the opposing armies seem content to
face each other and nothing his trans
pred to indicate that the Germans
have started the expected resumption
of their effort to break through the
allied lines on their way to the coast.
Thirty miles east of the Suez canal
British forces are in touch with Turk
ish invaders but there is no sign of a
general action In this vicinity and 1t
is expected the invasion of Egypt
probably will be postponed for the rea-
son that the Turks would appear to be
hard pressed In Armenia and along the
Persian Gulf.
Additional details concerning the
loss off Sheerness yesterday of the
battleship Bulwark and her entire
crew, with the exception Of IA men,
make the admiralty theory that she
was blown up by an internal explosion
more and more plausible. An official
inquiry, which is being held in pri-

statements is still lacking. Although

vantage in the fighting still lies with

declares that no decisive battle has
