GERMANS CROSS YSER

LONDON, Nov. 13.-The Germans have again cross ed the Yser river and matters begin to look
 little serious although the invaders occupy yet only few hundred yards on the left bank The allies cannot how ever afford overlook the advantages gained there by the Germans and the general opinion here is that tremendous efforts must be put forth to drive them back The news from the front this morning indicates that desperate efforts towards this end being prepared for by General Jore but that losses will be fghtful in making the effort conceded all hands, As the Germans now stand they have unquestionaby driven slight wedge into the left allied line and their continued advanced would be matter of great seriousness The British still occupy Ypres and are about to face the ercest struggle of the war The enemy to make almost superhuman efforts to drive the troops of this country out of Ypres because they fail their victory at Dxmude will prove barren one. The only by which the Germans can drive the British from that position is by flank attack from DXmude Ypres still bars the way the approach to Dunrk from the south and the British depends the holding of the key to the French coast cities Needless to say the people of England are now consequently watching Ypres with feversh anxiety That our troops hold the place only with terrific losses at best is perfectly understood

ALLIES LINE BENT

PARIS, Nov. 13It is officially announced this after noon that while the violent efforts of the Germans at Ypres have succeeded in bending the line of the allies this
 line is not broken It is bent only in places matter ot fact and the allied forces still hold strong positions in the neighborhood It impossible that the attempt will be repeated as the Germans have evidently done their best and have failed in their main object that similar attempt under similar circumstances could hardly be ex- pected to succeed Although the artillery of the Germans has proved formidable the guns of the allies are still more so and have caused frghtful carnage in the enemys trenches The battle has now resolved itself into an art
 ery duel The infantry remains in it's trenches and the assaults have apparently ceased for the present The military authorities declare that the war entering it's third stage They do not clearly explain what this means The first phase was the rush of the Germans to- wards Paris and the second the retirement of the n vaders to the line of the Aisne Whether they mean that the movemn of the Germans the coast about to be successful and that it will begin the third phase is not known but it is suspected

 Africa remain loyal to Britain but 1t IS also known that under De Wet and Beyers seasoned fighters in large num- bers are ranged against the oyasts Even conservatives who opposed to the granting of home rule to South Africa recognize the great satemanshp that gave home rule as this privilege has kept BOtha and many other famous Boers on the side of Great Britain.

MORE THAN SEVENTY HOURS
 OUT IN AN OPEN BOAT

Leonti Siftsoff, who is now here, was one of the unfortunates who were aboard the cutter Tahoma when she struck the uncharted reef. At the time of striking the cutter was out of sight of land. Mir. Siftsoff with others took to a surf boat and in it they spent more than seventy hours. They first sighted land on the morning of the day when they landed. Among the whole bunch they had for pro visions only two sea gulls day. These gulls were shot by one of the officers who had fortunately held on to his revolver. So much accustomed had the men become to the movement of the small boat that when they got out to walk they all keeled over. Mr. Siftsoff is an assistant priest of the Russian church at Unalaska.

General Funston who is now in com mand of the United States troops in Vera Cruz will be named major gener- al and many see in his promotion a sign that he will be next chief of staff. General Witherspoon retires because of the age limit. He succeed ed Leonard Wood some time ago, There is every reason to believe that Woods elevation to that position is the last that will ever be made from the ranks of what might be called civilian soldiers.

GERMAN SHIPS GET READY

VALPARAISO, Chile, Nov 13-The German cruisers Leipzig and Dresden entered this harbor yesterday and immediatly began taking provisions These two yes ses took part with the Schnahort and Gnesenau in the big naval engagement ten days ago with the British ships The position of the two last named vessels is not known but it is assumed that they far off and that they will receive some of the supplies being taken on by the smaller vessels It is accepted inevitable fact that the four German cruisers will have to fight for their existence against large forces of hostile ships In some quarters it believed that the four Germans will separate as the numbers of Japanese and British vessels now com ing to engage them too great If they separate 1t will be for the purpose of proongng their disastrous careers and destroying British merchant ships.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-Gener- al Villa has taken the city of Tampico and has been received with the great est enthusiasm. The city received him without firing shot, Earlier in the day it was reported that he was marching on the city and had taken possession of the railroads leading thereto but later the news came of his entry.
 The reason for taking TampicO is to give him a better opportunity for securing supplies and ammunition. The American troops are now evident Iy further off than ever from the day of departure from Vera Cruz. To withdraw the American troops now would mean that the city would fall into the hands of General Aguilar who is friendly to General Carranza. From Tampica Villa can rush am munition and supplies overland through Central Mexico to his other columns If civil war results from the present state of affairs the greatest struggle in the history of Mexico will have to be recorded. Both sides have between them one hundred thousand men well equipped and
