FRENCH'S REPORT
HAILED AS EPIC
British Praise Field Mar
shal's Story of Valor
Of His Army.
fRr cahls 10 Tie Tribune. ]

London, Nov. 30.-It is felt in Lon
don that Field Marshal French's dis
patch describing the movements OF the
British forces at the front from Octo,,
Der II to November 20. restrained ana
formal though its language Is, VIII De
regarded in time 20 come as one OF the
greatest prose epics that have ever 6een
written on the deeds of Great BRIT
ain's army. The dispatch requires no
explanation. Every civilian VIII DC
able to appreciate the tremendous I'm,
portance of those moments OF vitai
urgency when Sir John French had 70
come to instant decision, to carry OUT
which imposed on the army under ms
command tasks which called for the
putting forth of superhuman enorts or
an extraordinary display OF fortltude
.nd endurance.
In each case, it will be noticed, the
field marshal took the course when
promised the highest and best results.
RELYING on the steadfastness and valor
of his troops, he deliberately TOOK
great risks to accomplish great objects
His confidence was fully justified. EX-
acgerated lines, thinly held, were nam
tained against masses of the enemy.
Divisions, brigadcs and regiments ie-
duced TO the last eXtremities by losses
ard by fatigue, responded again ana
again TO demands for new and greater
Efforts and fresh and heavier sacri-
fees.

BRITISH CAPTURE
NORWEGIAN VESSEL
The Sandefjord Suspected of
Having Balloon Silk and
Copper in Her Cargo.

Halifax. N. s. Nov 3O.-The Norwe
gian steamer Sandefiord. which sailed
from New York for Copenhagen with
a cargo Of cotton, was brought in here
as a rrize of war to-day. She is sus-
pected of having contraband of war
aboard. and the report that she has
balloon silk and also coppsr stored be-
meath the cotton will be investigated
after she is docked, probably to-mor-
row. The vessel tonight was anchored
in the harbor.
The fact that she was so heavily
laden. it is said, first directed sus-
picion toward her. A few days out
from New York she was halted by one
of the British cruisers patrolling the
North Atlantic steamship lanes, and
an officer from the war vessel exam
ined her papers. Following the exam
ination prize crew was placed on
board and the steamer was ordered to
put in at Halifax. So far as could
be learned tonight the Norwegian cap
tain made no protest against the in
structions to alter his course The
Sandefiord formerly was engaged in
the Sydney-Wabana ore trade.
London, Dec 1.-THE Swedish steamer
Friedland. which sailed from New York

FRANCE PROTESTS
new IMPORT RULES
Says u. S. Requires Too
Many Particulars from
Exporters. .

Washington. Nov. 3O-Ambassador
Jusserand, Of France, lodged to-day an
Informal protest with the Treasury De-
partmcnt against the new regulations
for invoices and declarations of export
ers shipping goods to the United States.
The regulations were promulgated
last summer. but not put into effect
until recently. They were designed to
prevent customs undervaluations and
require greater particularly in the
specifications Of goods to be exported
Ambassador Jusserand told Treasury
officials that the war had taken most
of the men in the French service ia
miliar with this sort Of work into the
field, and that their duties now were
being performed largely by women or
boys without experience.
Assistant Secretary Peters explained
that it was not intended TO embarrass
French exporters, but to stop fraud, and
that its workings probably would not
prove so difficult as anticipated. He
promised TO do everything possible to
prevent the change from the old TO the
new system imposing any hardships.

FLEETS MAY FIGHT
IN SOUTH ATLANTIC
German and British War
ships Near Each Other
Off the Coast.

Montevideo, Nov. 30.-Recent reports
that the German feet is. now in the
South Atlantic appear to have been con-
frmed mere to-day, and it is rumored
that a powerful British fleet is near by:
Interruption of British shipping and
the Quitting of German merchant
ships with supplies were accepted here
as confirmatory Of reports Of the ap-
proach OF the German fleet, which is
believed to be off the mouth Of the
River Plata.
The German steamer Patagonia is
being loaded here with provisions, the
Sierra Cordoba with coal and the Mera
with coal and water.
Sailings of British steamers from
Montevideo and the Brazilian port OF
Santos have been suspended.
Marine records show that the Sierra
Cordoba was at Montevideo on Novem-
her %. The Mera reached that port on
September 8, and since then there has
been no report from her. The latest
record of the Patagonia is her arrival
on October % at Tenerlffe, Canary
Islands.
San Francisco, Nov. 3O.--Three Jap
unese warships, one British warship
and two japanese colliers were sighted
of Magdalena Bay, Lower California,
last Monday, by the American freighter
Aztec, now here from Iquique, Chilli.
The British light cruiser Newcastle,
a sister ship of the Glasgow, and the
Japanese cruiser ldzumo, both of which
have long been patrolling the Pacific
coast, were recognized, but another
Japanese cruiser and japanese battle
ship were unfamiliar to the Aztec's Of
fcers.
1t is believed these vessels were the
hattleship Hizen and the cruiser Asa
ma. which coaled and left Honolulu as
soon as the German gunboat Geier was
interned there. The understanding in
the japanese colony on the islands at
/ that time was that the Hizen and Asa
ma were bound for the South American
west coast.

Centuries Old Work of

EQUALLY FAMOUS
LINEN HALL GONE
Irreparable Damage Again Is
Inflicted Upon Civiliza-
tion by War.
lBy Cable 10 The Tribune. !

London, Nov. 30.-"The Daily Chron-
icle," one of three London papers in
vited by the French General Staff 20
send correspondent along the battle
line, publishes the following dispatch
from its correspondent, dated "at the
front in the French lines" Saturday;
There is in the village Of name de-
letedl, just behind the canal which
runs southwark twelve miles from Dix
nude to Ypres, certain trench from
which, if ever, the invisible war should
become visible. IL represents the ad-
vanced firing line at point where the
battle of the User took, and may again
take, the character of sustained vio-
lence. German trenches are on the
other side of the User Canal, no more
than 300 yards away, to the east.
There is no doubt about the bloody
work that has been done. Most of this
village is in ruins.
"The particular phase of the battle
of Flanders, which has been and prob
ably will continue to be called the bat
tie Of the Yser-that is, the desperate
effort of the Germans TO get across the
canals or at least is regarded by
the allied commanders as being over.
Fighting continues, but it has not yet
revealed any new objective, and one
has the impression that it is only a
mischievous sort of marking time-a
warning from each side that it is not
10 be caught unawares, that the last
word is not yet said.
Germans Lose 10000 Men.
"We examined Pervyse and Ypres
articularly. Pervyse lies half way
between Nieuport and Dixmude. 1t is
about this large village that the main
stress of the second phase of the battle
of Flanders fell. If either Pervyse or
Ypres had been lost, the effort to keep
a hold upon at least a corner of Bel
gian territory would have failed. Both
places are important road centres and
both are served by railways. There
fore both were defended with des-
perate determination and with such
success that, after losing 100000 men
in three weeks, the German army had
no more strength to attack, and has
now lain in its trenches for week,
apparently incapable of a new initia-
tive.
"Ypres is, or rather was, a town of
$4,000 inhabitants. It's historical and
architectural interest was universally
known. Officers of the Allies say there
