GERMANS URGEDON
At PISTOL s POINT
Wounded Soldier Declares He
Was Shot by Bullet From
Behind.

LONDON. Nov. 6.-Accorling to a
statement issued by the official press
bureau today, the penalty for falterlng
in the attack on the allied limo on the
part OF the German troops is bullets
from the pistols of their own officers.
Quoting a wounded German soldier, an
eyewitness story, supplementing that
made public last night, says:
The prisoner told the British surgeon
who attended him: our officers
warned us that If we faltered We would
be shot from behind. L know that this
threat was carried out when our terrible
losses compelled us to retire. | myself
was wounded BY a German bullet
The report declares that the Germans
had set their hearts on taking Ypres
before October /, but that, despite n
prodgal sacrifice of men. they had been
unable to win through the allied lines,
which are still holding.
The Germans. il is stated, have won
the admiration Of the allies by their
steady pressing toward almost certain
death and by their refusal TO retreat
even after their ranks have been great
ly decimated.
The French and Belgians are declared
TO be displaying wonderful dash and
s1irit. and to be giving splendid sup
port to the English.

ATTACK OF RUSSIANS
DEMORAL|zES TURKS
Suddenness With Which Cars
Flying Columns Invaded Ar
menia Staggers Them.

ATHENS, Nov 6-Constantinople ad-
vices declare that the Turkish army is
partly demoralized by the suddenness
OF the Russian attack. which disar-
ranged all of the army councils strate-
gic plans.
The Turks had expected that the Rus
slams would be caught short of troops
in Caucasia, and had prepared several
columns with which to strike. Instead,
how ever, the Russians. without waiting
for any formal exchange of declarations
Of war, threw four flying columns across
the border into Armenia.
Today the strongest of these. after
;lecisively defeating the Turkish border
s;uerd, is pushing rapidly forward to
ward Erzerum. A second column.
which took Fort Bayazet after three
hours of fighting, is also moving into
the interior.
The Turks. reduced to the necessity
OF fighting a defensive campaign. are
now reorganizing their line and are di-
verting troops originally intended for
operations against the British in Egypt
toward Armenia. The Turkish army,
concentrated at Karakiisse. Giacin, and
Arsab, has moved back from those posi-
tions to others, the location Of which is
not revealed.
The bombardment of the Dardanelles
forts by the Anglo-French fleet along
range continues.
While one small magazine is under
stood to have been exploded, the dam
age up to the present time has not been
great. The Turks are reserving their
lire, and have responded with only few
shots.

Germans, Harassed by
Russians, Begin Retreat

PETROGRAD. Nov. 6.-The war Of
fee claims, that the Germans are re-
treating precipitously into East Prus-
sia, with the Russian armies ha-
RAISING them at every point. The
cold weather has apparently demor-
alized the Germans and many of them
are reported surrendering without a
fight. At several points the Russians
already have penetrated the Prussian
border and some OF the reports indl-
cate that the German left wing has
been isolated from the main body OF
the troops.
Military experts here declare that
the Germans cannot hope to hold East
Prussia and they are expected event
ually 10 withdraw from there entire
ly. concentrating on their secondary
defense line of forts.
In Galicia it is announced that the
Austr3ans continue to retreat Heavy
Russian columns have already crossed
the San river and are pressing the
Austrians far back in the general di-
rection OF Cracow.
The Russian invasion of Turkey
continues In force and in every en-
counter to date the Turks have been
beaten.

TOday's War
Summary

ENGLAND-The admiralty is
still without confirmation of the
reported sea fight off the Chilean
coast, and believes that when the
complete story is available it will
be found that the Germans did not
gain the one-sided victory they
claim. Every effort is being made
to locate the missing British war-
ships. The latest official reports
from the fighting on the continent
say while the Germans continue
their efforts to hack through to
the coast they have been unable 20
gain headway.
TURKEY-Advices from Con-
stantinople, via Athens say the
expedition with which the Russians
have invaded Turkey via Armenia
has somewhat demoralized the
Turks who have been compelled to
retreat. The Russian left rests on
a position at the foot of Mt.
Ararat, and extends from there to
the Black sea. The bombardment
Of the Dardanelles continues with
very little real damage being done.
FRANCE-The general situation
continues unchanged with violent
fighting in progress all along the
line from Dixmude to the Lys and
the Somme. The Germans are un-
successfully bombarding Arras, and
The French, by a series of brilliant
bayonet charges, have checked
another attempted German advance
in tie Argonnes.
RUSSIA-The war office claims
that the Germans are retreating
precipitously into East Prussia,
and the belief is expressed at Pet
rograd that the Germans will soon
be compelled to abandon all of East
Prussia. In Gahcia, it is claimed,
that the Austrians are continuing
70 retreat, and the Russian invas-
ion of Turkey is progressing salts
factorily.
GERMANY-The government to-
day officially denied all stories of
the reported wounding oft he
crown prince or any other mem
Der of the royal family. The crown
prince is said to be -,ith his army
at the front. The German .dvance
is declared to be continuing toward
the coast with severe fighting at
Lille, Ypres. and Arras. Snow in
