American marines have been landed at
Beirut, Syria, for the protection of

is its death sentence.
Washington, Nov 5.-Neither the
Navy or the State department had
received any word tonight of the re-
ported landing of American marines at
Beirut, Syria. Officials were inclined
TO be slow in crediting the report,
though they admitted that it was en-
tirely possible that the armored cruiser
North Carolina, now in Beirut harbor,
had sent a detachment of marines
ashore at the request OF the American
Consul there.

practically universal. Families were
living in partially burned buildings. or

of cereals purchased by the American
committee for the immediate relief OF
the situation in Belgium, was en- route
from England to Rotterdam spread
quickly among the people of Brussels
and in the neighboring districts. The
announcement was timely, for IN many
sections the people were growing rest

triumphal entrance into Nancy, may
now say farewell TO another Of his

he saw on that day was terrific. The
French artillery, posted in masked
positions on commanding heights, al

three days without replying. On the
third day the Germans moved on 1t
in massed formation, with music play
ing and colors flying. They were half

the hidden guns opened fire and
moved them down in swathes. -Four
times the Germans came on, and four
times they were forced to retire.

Washington, Nov. 5.-The paralysis
Of Danish shipping resulting from the
laying of mines in the North Sea was
discussed at the State Department to-
day by Constantin Brun, Danish Min
lister, and Acting Secretary Lansing.
Since the British Admiralty has an
nounced that all ships passing a line
drawn from the Hebrides through the
Farce Islands to Iceland do so at their
own peril, Denmark, Norway and Swe-
Gen, and TO some extent Belgium and
Holland, face commercial isolation.

which will pass ships safely up the

Petrograd, Nov. 6.-A new phase Is
developing in the campaign against
Germany and Austria. Russia's out,
ermost wings i'll East Prussia ana
West Galicia are both forcing FOR
ward to cooperate with a central ad-
vance on Posen, Silesia.
A great reinforcement OF fresh
troops will be engaged in the new
operations, and the numerical strength
of the Russian dispositions may be
gathered from the German retreat IN
East Prussia, which began when the
enemy was in danger of being envel-
oped and surrounded by the army,
which is growing with continuous ar
rivals from mobilization centres. There
are indications that the operations now
beginning TO develop may drastically
shorten the war.
Tolstoy's daughter, Alexandra, who
is matron of a field hospital, has ar.
rived from Moscow with q train of
wounded. She has been on the battle
fields on the frontier Of East Prussia,
where many hundreds of German
wounded were treated by Russians.
She was impressed by the WEAKNESS
and exhaustion Of the German soldiers
taken. Many of their wounded are
