VANCE OF
 SLAV STEADY
GERMANS AND AUSTRlANS III
 CONTINUED AND PREClPlTATE RETREAT BEFORE THE ON ssLAUGHT OF THE TROOPS OF
 GEAR ON PRusslAN FRONTIER.

Petrograd, Nov. 4.-The following official communication from the Rus sian general staff headquarters was given out here tonight:
 "A sudden change has been noted since November 2 on the east Prus- sian front where the enemy, which recently has been on the defensive almost everywhere, has begun to fal. back at certain points. This retreat is precipitate on the left wing of the enemy, which was vigorously thrown back toward Biala and Lyck. Our troops took Bakalarievo, capturing a large quantity of arms and ammuni- tion and making prisoners of a Ger man company
 "On the left bank of the Vistula the Germans continue their precipi- tate retreat towards the frontier. Their rear guards have been dis lodged from Kolo and Przedborz. On he morning of November 9 we drove back the Austrians toward Kielce, which place our troops oecu- pied, making six hundred prisoners and taking several machine guns. The enemy fell back with all speed. Our troops took Sandominir, which is an important strategical point.
 Tn the region south of Kielce, dur ing the past week we have made prisoners of 200 officers and 15,O00 soldiers, and have taken a large number of cannon as well as ma chine guns During the night of November the Austrians made a series of attacks which were fiery, but futile, and they retreated. Our troops took a firm footing in the region of Nisko and Rudnik.
 There is nothing to report from the rest of the front.
 The Turkish fleet is concentrated in the Black sea with base on the Bosphorus. Apparently they are try ing to avoid fight with our forces. :"

VICTORIES
 FOR ALLIES
SEVERE PUNISHMENT AND UN- PRECEDENTED LOSSES FOLLOW ATTEMPTED ASSAULTS OF GER. MAN TROOPS UNDER PERSON AL DIRECTION OF KAISER.

London, Nov 4.-l2 uoon-An off cial account of the operations Of the British force in Belgium issued by the press bureau today brings up 10 Mon day, November 2. when the allies were still maintaining their unbroken line and had been reinforced to meet the attacks which this day threatened them.
 The report follows:
 "Violeat attacks were made by the first army corps and the cavalry. Large endorsements evidently had joined the enemys line at this point A very heavy loss was inflicted on the enemy, and the commander of the first army corps was confident of maintaining his ground, which he since has been able 10 do. The cav .alry has fought, whether mounted or in trenches, to the admiration of the whole army. Indian troops have been brought into the fighting line which has been proportiouately strength ened.
 "On tie nighta Of October 90 strong attack on Messins was beaten off At one point the enemy, by diut of their masses, penetrated for a timo into the line but an excellent counter attack with the bayoaet drove them back. The attack on the left wing was so pronounced that the British line was substantially reinforced by troops from home, which were moved up The French also brought into the lines some reserves to support the threatened wing.
 The London Scottish, the first ter ritorial regiment to take its place on the firing line made a brilliant charge and the officer in command of the regiment received the follow ing telegram from Sir John French:
 "I wish you and your splendid regiment would accept my warmest congratulations and thanks for the fine work you did Saturday You have given glorious lead and example to all the territorial corps fighting in France
 "On November 1 our troops were at, tackled all along the line, but the enemy everywhere was repulsed and suffered very heavy loss, Our How, itzers demolished two of the enemy's S-inch guns and every account shows that prodigious slaughter has been oc- casioned by our artillery.
 The maintenance of an unbroken line and the repulse of repeated as- saults which has caused in some cases the loss of entire columns and has greatly discouraged the German troops has not entailed losses on the defending force.
 Position of the allies has been strengthened and endorsements of every description have been sent to meet the attacks now threatened"

Carranza's Def.

San Anton,o, Texas, Nov. 4.-The following telegram was received at the Mexican consulate from Puebla this afternoon:
 General Carranza made the fol- lowing statement re ative to the ac- tion of the delegates at Aguas Cali entes:
 These valiant generals have made effective a resigIation that has never been presented or forwarded by me and which I have never pre- sented and they have even gone so far as to appoint a president. And by this last act they have fallen into a neat trap prepared for them by some of the Maderista congressmen, the same ones who so distinguished themselves as being responsible to a great extent in the causes which led to the overthrow of the democratic government of the Apostle Madero and these very same men are now causing more trouble for the nation through their intrigues and ambi- tions. If all of the chiefs of the con stitutionalist army abandon me will abandon my native land. but if on the other hand any part of them sustain and uphold me, We will fight until death"
