ADVANTAGE STILL RESTS WITH
ALLIES IN BOTH THEATRES WAR
GERMAN At TACkS|N
WEST ARE EASILY
REPULSED BY ALLIES
(By Associated Press,)

LONDON, Nov. 30.-In the western
theatre of the war today relative calm
prevails, except in the Argonne dis
trict, where several German attacks
were repulsed early this morning. The
fighting in the Vosges and at other
points has been almost entirely sus-
pended during the past twenty-four
hours, though occasional sharp en-
counters are reported between sharp
shooters and reconnoitering detach-
ments.
In the Belgian littoral and along the
channel coast country, the Germans
have begun a renewal of their once
abandoned attempt to fight through to
the French coast, but this activity
has not yet developed in extensive
force. The Anglo-French force op-
posing the Germans in this area, is
preparing to assume an offensive at
titude, and desperate fighting in that
quarter will undoubtedly result. The
dykes, opened when the German ad-
vance threatened to overwhelm the
allies army there, have been closed
and the inundated country which prov
ed such a barrier to Tuetonic pro-
gress will soon be dry again.
That the German attempt to break
through the Allies lines in this Sec
tion has failed is shown by the pre-
| parations to force the fighting there
and tremendous bodies of reinforce.
ments, mostly territorial troops, will
be used by the Anglo-French army ir
forcing the Germans back into the
Fatherland.

GENERAL JOFFRE

(By Associated Press.)


PARIS, Nov. 30.-A Havas news
dispatch from the allied army's field
headquarters today tells of Gen. Joff-
res receiving a delegation of Paris
newspaper men, now at the front, and
OF the cordiality of welcome expressed
by the veteran warrior.
General Joffre, according to Havas
correspondent, expressed much salts
faction at the opportunity accorded
him of authoritatively contradicting
false rumors alleged to have been cir
culated by Germans agents in France
and other countries. That an organ
lied effort to circulate false news dam
aging to the allied army is being made
Gen. Juffre said there can be no
doubt, and the newspaper men pres
ent We're urged to warn the civilian
r "6aihst pelieFlng any news
except that emanating from official
sources.
The paramount duty of the Allied
army at this time, said Gen Juffre. is
to save the country from devastation
by the enemy and to compel satisfacto-
ry reparation for the welI-nigh irrep-
arabic injury already sustained in Bel
GUM and parts of northern France. To
the impartial press of the nation must
be delegated the task of correcting
the incorrect Impressions concern
ing military operations now being cir
culated through German influence
Gen. Juffre stated. Later the armv
may find it expedient to deny the fal.
sity of many reports rejecting alike
upon military commanders and sold
iers in the trenches, but the present
time must be devoted wholly to the
task of driving the Germans out of
Belgium and France. That this task
is progressing satisfactorily, and that
another German retreat may soon be
anticipated, was the sentiment ex-
pressed in the interview today.

(By Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, Nov. 3O.-At least
twelve British warships are now pa
trolling the Atlantic trade routes be-
tween New York and the Panama ca
nal and keeping close watch on all
shipping in that portion of the world,
according to the statement of a wire
less operator of the American mar

from Cristobal The Ancon on its trip
north was in communication with
several merchantmen, nearly all of
whom reported having seen or been

Wilson's neutrality proclamation, and

losses alleged to have been sustained
by the Russians. Prisoners have been
taken, say Berlin correspondents of
London news agencies, but there is
no reference to the number taken,
nor is the claim made that extensive
military stores have been captured.
In London today military critics
are of one opinion regarding opera
tions in the eastern theatre of hostil-
tiles, all believing the German ad-
vance effectually repulsed. How far
the retreat has extended is a matter
of doubt here, but that Won Hinden-
berg is now on the defensive is beyond
question.

RUSSIANS BOMBARD
CITY OF CRAC0W
(By Associated Press.)

MILAN, Italy, Nov. BOA correspon-
dent of Corriere Dellasera, leading
Milan newspaper, telegraphing early
today says the Russian advance in
to Poland has progress as far as
Cracow already, and that great Mus
covite army is now engaged in besieg-
ing the forts there. Heavy siege guns
have been grought up by the Russians,
according to Corriere Dellasera's cor
respondent, and shells are being
thrown into the suburbs of the city,
where fire has broken out and many
buildings are believed to have been
destroyed.
The Austro-German army now gath
cred at Cracow is described by this
correspondent, who is accompanying
the Russian army, as, perhaps, the
greatest yet assembled in the eastern
theatre of war, and hard fighting is
anticipated before a decisive result
can be reached. The Russian army
in Poland has recently received an
enormous number of reinforcements
and successes attained during the
past weeks fighting has added greatly
to the spirit of the soldiers.

Uncle Sam is preparing to create

known as the federal court of the
Southern District of Georgia. The
new court hust have judge when
established, and Americus has the
logical man for the position. The
friends of the Hon. q. A. Littlejohn are
offering him as the one man best fit
ted for the position. The Times-Re-
corder gladly proclaims him the man
of the hour when it comes to fitness
to fill the position.
The bill creating this Office is now
pending before congress and there
seems little doubt but that the office
will be created, and it would seem
premature discussing the question as
to the man for the place, if it was not
for the fact that letters are being
written all over the state in the in
terest of parties whom their friends
desire should receive the appointment
if the office is created.
This is a very responsible and i'm
portant position and in the selection
of man for the place the president
of the United States will take into con-
sideration the past judicial history Of
Georgia and the many able judicial
officers she has given to the state and

LONDON CONFIDENT
THAT GERMANS HAVE
MET BAD DEFEAT
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, Nov. 30-Rerefences to
Russian successes in North Poland
have become somewhat chastened
since the cautionary report issued by
Grand Duke Nicholas, commander-in-
chief of the Russian field forces, and
who is personally commanding the
Russian right wing operating in that
area of hostilities. Dispatches reach
ing London early today indicate, how
ever, that military critics in the al
lied capitals remain convinced that
the German invasion of Russian Po-
land has suffered a severe check that
only most strenuous efforts on the
part of German commanders can pre-
vent being turned into a real Tuetonic
disaster. The force under General
Won Hindenberg, has undoubtedly
failed in the effort to reach Warsaw,
and the campaign in that direction,
apparently has been abandoned ut
terly. The NapoIeonic conclusion that
Russia is impregnable against invas-
sion, appears to have been justified
by this latest campaign against Poland
and. the losses sustained by Gen. Won
Hindenberg's force have been ap-
palling.
Berlin Still Sanguine.
Berlin and Vienna advices today
report that the battle along the banks
of the rivers Warta and vistula con-

not yet been attained. Minor successes
are claimed for the Austro-German

dispatches, which are silent as the

PARIS, Sept. ga fight in the air

Meanwhile rifles and machine guns

constant fire BY this means one
of the German machines became sep
arated from the others and the
Frenchmen replied vigorously.
The engagement seemed to turn to
the disadvantage of the German, who
mounted speedily to a higher level
and, holding this position, was saved
from further attack. He finally dis
appeared in a northwest direction
over Fort RomainviIle, after a vair
pursuit.
The other German aeroplanes also
escaped the FIRE of the guns and, at
ter circling about for a considerable
time, disappeared from view.

AND THE FIRST SIEGE OF PARIS

desperateness of his position. The
emperor had supposed that the
French army was on a war footing,
and that with the reserves, more
than half a million men could be put
in the field His minister of war had
informed him that the French army
was prepared for war down to the
last button on the private soldiers
coat How far this was from truth I
was quickly shown
OF the three initial armies formed I
by Germany, the first under Gen. Won
Stenmetz, was placed near Treves;
the second, under Prince Frederick
Charles, was sent to the Rhenish /
Palatinate; the third, under the
Crown Prince of Prussia, took up its
position on the frontier of Baden.
+ These armies consisted of about 450,-
/ 600 men. Subsequently Germany
placed a fourth army in the field,
under Gen. vogel Won Falkenstein,
which raised the total to $4,000, and
later a fifth army was raised, under
Gen. Won Bttenfeld. This, with addi-
tions to the other armies, brought
Germany's fighting force up to nearly
100000.
The French army was divided into
six corps, under Marshall MacMahon
and Bazaine, and Generals Frossard,
} Ladmirault, Felix Douay and De Fail
: ly. The French reserves were in
1 even worse condition than the regular
? army, but Emperor Napoleon managed

Germany then, just as Sir Edward
Grey, foreign secretary, did at the
beginning of the present hostilities.
England urged that the matter be
submitted TO a council of the powers.
AS in this case, Napoleon and King
William of Prussia rejected the offer.
In 1870, France made the same mis-
take that Austro. Hungary made when
she declared war against Seryia.

STA alone, and confidently believed
that the southern German states
would remain aleof and refuse to
