Fighting continues in East Prussia

Austrians, but apparently without de-

A battle Of some proportions is 60

Audacious At The Bottom Of Sea.
London.-After a career of less than
two years, the superdreadnaught Au-
dacious, of the King George V class
third in tonnage and armament of his
majestys warships-lies at the bottom
of the ocean off the north coast of
Ireland at Lough Swilly. She was hit
by torpedo or disabled by mine just
before nine o'clock on the morning of
October 27. With the possible eXcep-
ton of one or two men the whole crew
by small boats from the Olympic. The
| rescue was made in rough sea
through brilliant and daring seaman
ship on the part of the White Star
crew.
Additional Million Men Wanted
London.-England is beginning to
learn the cost Of the European war. A
White Paper shows that the govern
ment intends to ask parliament for
$1,125, 100000, which, with their $780,
| 100000 voted at the last session, is
expected to be Great Britains bill for
the financial year ending March 81.
| OF this sum- however, a small part
has been loaned to Belgium and Ser
via, and some will be used to assist
the dominions and the allies to make
their financial arrangements. A por.
ton of the money also will be re-
quired for the additional million men

Three Defensive Lines

Geneva.-The German army staff
has prepared three formidable defen-
sive lines from the North sea to the
Rhine for use in event of retreat, ac-
cording to high Swiss army officer.
The first line extends from Antwerp
to Namur and Sedan, he says. The
second is on the frontier between
Maestricht, Luxembourg and Metz. The
third is on the Rhine ITSELF The Of

The London Daily Chronicles CORE
spondent at Keeling, in the Cocos Is
lands, Frederick Pollock, who was an
eyewitness of the destruction OF the
German cruiser Emden by the Aus
tralian cruiser Sydney, sends detail
ed account of the affair as follows:
AT t o'clock In the morning four
funnelled cruiser arrived at full speed
Our suspicious were aroused FOR she
was flying no dag. and ner fourth fun-
mel was obviously IA dummy made or
painted canvas. Therefore we were
not altogether surprised at the turn OF
events The cruiser at once lowered
away an armored launch and two
boats. which came ashore and landed
on Coral beach three officers and forty
men, all fully armed and having four
Maxim guns
The Germans-for all doubt about
the mysterious cruiser was now at an
end-at once rushed up to the cable
station and. entering the office, turned
out the operators, smashed the instru-
ments and set armed guards over all
the buildings. All the knives and tire
arms found in possession OF the cable
staff were at once confscated
should say here that in spite of the
excitement on the outside all the work
was carried on in the cable office as
usual right up to the moment when the
Germans burst in A general call was
sent out just before the wireless aF=
paratus was blown up.
The whole of the staff was placed IN.
der an armed guard while the instru-
ments were being destroyed, but it is
only fair to say that the Germans,
working in well disciplined fashion I'M
der their officers, were most civil. There
was no such brutality as we hear char
acterizes the German army's behavior
toward civilians. and there were no at.
tempts at piIlaging.

While the cable station was being put
out of action the crew of the launch
grappIed for the cables and endeavOreo
to cut them. but fortunately without
success. The electrical stores were
then blown up.

of this great mortar is that it is 50
mounted that the gun and its carriage
can be hauled either by motor or by
horse power at speed approximating
that of the light siege artillery and
that when il has reached the designat
ed position it takes but short time to
have the gun and battery ready.
The barrel of the gun is made af
steel, and it consists of the inner tube
and an outer jacket, the to+al length
of the gun being eleven feet. The
breech is opened and closed by turn
ing a handle, and a safety device, OPP
Grated by hand, is provided which pre-
vents premature firing or accidental
opening of the breech.
The gun is transported on two sep
arate vehicles. each of which can be
hauled by a single motor truck. Dur
ing transportation one unit consists OF
the gun carriage. slide, recoil cylinders,
trail and permanent axle and wheels,
the last named being fitted with broad
fat feet after the manner Of the Dip
lock pedrai The after end of the trail
during transportation is mounted upon
a pair of wheels. The gun itself Is
transported upon carriage, upon
which it is placed in such a position
that the majority of the weight will
come upon a pair of pedrail wheels.

Allies Holding Their Own

London.-The correspondent Of The
Times in France sends the following
regarding the fighting on the Aisne:
ION the whole, the allies have the
advantage. The French capture of
Questcy-en-Santerre was a good deal
bigger affair than reported. On the
other hand, the enemy's accounts of
a great victory at Vailly we're exag-
gerated. They obtained Temporary
advantage, but the allies have more
than regained the original positions"

AUDACIOUS SUNK.
British Dreadnaught Strikes Mine on
Irish Coast.

The British superdreadnaught Au.
dacious has been reported as having
been sunk off the coast of Ireland,
presumably by mine.
The Audacious was one of the new.
est and most powerful ships of the
English navy. The explosion is said
to have caused her boilers to burst,
scalding lat men, three Of them
fatally. The steamer Olympic came
up in time to rescue many of the
crew and tow the Audacious into a
small harbor on the Irish coast, where
she sank.

BRING up great numbers OF reserves
and force the Germans to retreat with
in their own border in the west.
Allies Drive Back Germans
Paris-The Germans have again
been driven back across the User and
the positions on the left bank of the
canal, from which the enemy has for
several days put up vigorous and de
termined resistance, now are in the
hands of the French and English.
This news is accepted in Paris as
proof that the tide of battle in the
north Of France continues to favor
the allies. The powerful but futile
German attack in the vicinity of Ypres
also is officially declared to have cost
the enemy thousands of casualties and
many prisoners.
One detachment of 120 Germans
captured is declared to have been all
that remained of 1000 men who had
started the fight. Some of the pris-
oners, it is said, declared that compa-
MES of the Prussian Guard and of the
Second Bavarian corps, brought up to
full war strength of $50 men early in
November, were reduced to 80 to 100
men.
The official report says the progress
of the allies was very slow, but con
tinuous.
THE most notable incident of the at.
tack has been the throwing back OF
the enemy on the right bank of the
User canal. That part of the left
bank, which the Germans previously
held, has been completely evacuated.
We have retaken to the south of BiXs,
choote a small wood, which had been
lost following a night attack. At the
end of the day the enemy had shown,
without success, an offensive to the
south of Ypres. The Germans, how,
ever again attempted several attacks
to the north, east and south Of Ypres.
They were all repulsed with consider,
able losses to them. To sum up: "All
the efforts made by the Germans dur.
ing the last several days have result,
ed only in the capture of the ruined
village of Dixmude, whose isolated pc,
sition on the right bank of the canal
rendered its defense difficult. Between
the Lys and the Disc trench fighting
has continued upon the greater part
of the front. Upon the remainder OF
the front, so far as Lorraine and in
the Vosges, there was detached militia
