LONDON, Dec i4.-Telegraphlng from
Berne, Switzerland, correspondent OF

"A telegram received here from Munich
states that II has been decided to operate
on Emperor Williams throat. but the
operation is being deferred owing to the
feverish condition OF the emperor.
Reports more or less alarming of the
Illness Of Emperor William have been in

iously reported that he was suffering from
Influenza. catarrh of the throat and
nervous breakdown. The latter part of

recovering and soon would be able TO go
to the front again.
Last night a dispatch reached New York
from Basel by way OF London saying the
emperor might be obliged to undergo an
operation OF the throat and that probably
would not be permitted by his doctors to
return to the field until after Christmas

War Making Expenses

/. WASHINGTON. Dec. 1.-THE cost of
the America ration has increased to such
an extent on account Of the European war
that It will cost $4,000 more to feed the

ing the present year. Even the price OF

more must be paid next year for army
forage than this year.

The Days
War NeuUs

Reverses for Turkey at the
hands of Russia on land and Of
England on the sea we're chroni-
cled in today's official war dis
patches. Russian army head
quarters in the caucasus reports
that the Turks. whose strong re-
slstAnce to the invaders from the
north compelled them to retreat,
are being pursued beyond the Eu-
pirates river. The British ad-
miralty announces that the old
Turkish battleship Messudieh,
which carried 600 men, has been
DESTROYED by a British submarine.
The recent successes Of the
Serylans, partly confirmed from
Berlin, are said at Nish to have
been exhausted. IL Ia asserted
that the Austrians have been una
BILE to check their retreat before
the advancing Servlans, who are
sweeping them out of their couu-
try.
Vigorous thrusts at the German
line in France were made again
yesterday by the allies, but the
reports of successes in today's
official statement from Paris are
not borne out by the Berlin com
munication.
There have been no important
changes in the east, according to
the German statement. Dis
patches from Petrograd, however,
assert that the Russians have
definitely thrown back the Ger
man column, which was attempt
ing to strike at Warsaw from the
north.
The French War office an
nounces that in Servia further
successes have been won against
the Austrians. and in the Monte
negrin campaign, which has al
most been lost sight of recently,
the Austrians have suffered a re-
verse.
