The Allies have been attacked In

terrific battle has commenced. The
Germans have heavy achievements

effort to cut through the Allies line.

Germans show few signs of being

Dogs to Hunt Mountain Lions.

Denver.-A pack of eight trained
hunting dogs, in charge of forest
ranger, passed through Denver en-
route to Estes Park, where they will
be used this winter to hunt predatory
animals in and around the park. Last
winter the depredations to game and
live stock in that vicinity were so Sc
rious as to cause the ranchers and
stockmen to seek the aid Of the for
est service to check their inroads.
Because of this request, the service
has this year assigned an experienced
forest ranger from the Rio Grande to
the Colorado national forest to devote
his time exclusively to hunting preda-
tory animals in the region of Estes
park. The forest service has EN-.
ployed special hunters on many of the
the forests In Colorado. Wyoming and
South Dakota during the past, but this

RETIRE FROM D|xMUDE
WAR LORD REVIEWS, ATTACKS,
AGAINST LINE OF ALLIES
NEAR COAST.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

London, Dec. 2.-The battle in north
ern Poland, concerning the progress
of which there has been so much mys-
terry, is now being fought out under
the eyes of the German Emperor on
the one side and the Russian Emperor
on the other. The German war office
admits that large bodies OF Russians
have again invaded East Prussia.
Official news from Poland continues
to be scanty. with both headquarters
claiming successes. or the intensity
of the conflict, however, there can be
no doubt.
The Germans, when they started for
Warsaw, dashed full tilt into mass OF
Russian troops and forced their way so
far In that the Russians closed on
them. This was taken in Petrograd
to mean that some Of the German d.
visions had been cut off, and that their
surrender or humiliation was inevi-
table.
1t appears, however, that, fighting
for their very lives and In the knowl-
edge that great defeat would end
the German offensive and compel
them to fall back on their own from
tiers, the German troops succeeded in
breaking through the Russian lines at
one place and at another in holding
their entertainments against all the
Russian attacks.
The total number Of prisoners
taken by the Austrians by the fighting
In Poland is $4,000"
Their flanks are still being harassed
by the Cossacks, but seemingly the
Russians are not now in Il position
to gain the sweeping victory they had
anticipated.
Against the AustroGerman forces
In the south the Russians continue to
gain more decisive results. They are
now In possession Of all the Austrian
positions protecting the Carpathian
passes and are said to have arrived
abreast of Cracow, while their cap
lures for three weeks number $4,000
men.
1t is officially reported from Vienna
that the Russian defeat in the battle
Of Homonna In Hungary, thirty miles
northwest of Unghvar, was greater
than at first supposed.

Lively cannonade In Belgium.

Along the battle front in Belgium
fetal report says there is nothing to
communicate, the French official
statement notes a somewhat lively
canncnade in Belgium and German &C.
tivity to the north Of Arras.
This may mean that the Germans
have commenced, or are about to
commence, another attempt to get
through to the French ports.
Certainly there are some important
changes In the dispositions OF the Ger
man troops, but what they foreshadow
Is known only to the German general
staff.
Military men here take opposing
camps. one side believing that the Ger
mans will rest content with holding
their present positions until the close
OF the battle In Poland, where they
need all the men they can get, while
the other looks for an immediate re-
sumption OF the battle In northern
France and Flanders.
The Germans too. according to
Dutch reports, are strongly fortifying
Zecbrugge and other Belgian ports
against renewal of the attacks by
the allied fleet. The fighting which
has occurred around Ipres was due
to the allies pushing their lines for.

Summary of Events.)


Official reports from Paris and
London say that the Allies have
assumed the offensive against the
Germans along the User river and
the Ypres canal in the last few
days. This is regarded as a sig
nificant change.
The Germans, following lull last
ing more than a week, made very
heavy assaults all along the lines in
the extreme northwest Of France and
In Southwestern Belgium. They had
heavy achievements and fresh guns,
and for time 1t appeared that they
would be able to cut the Allies line
and get to the English channel.
1t was reported from Berlin that the
kaiser had ordered his great western
army to get to Calais, France. by De-
cember 10. and that raid ON the east
coast OF England would follow the cap
ture Of Calais. That the Allies have
been able to Withstand the battering
OF the German forces, and have even
assumed the offensive, probably means
safety for English coast towns for the
winter.
British WsrshIp Sunk.
The British warship Bulwark has
been blown up in the Midway river
on Sheerness by an explosion in her
magazines. Only twelve we're saved
out of the crew Of 700 or 800 aboard
the Bulwark. The explosion is be-

To Help England.
A brief dispatch from Lisbon says
the Portuguese congress has decided
that Portugal should cooperate with
the Allies. The minister Of war has
called for partial mobilization of the
army. The treaty by which Portugal
believes II 10 bound to aid the Allies
was made In 1903 with England, and 1t
provides that each shall mutually aid
and help the other" in case Of attack.

Russian Navy sIoeked7


The Russian navy Is useless for the
present. This is the gist Of an official
declaration made by the German war
office. The Turkish navy dominates
the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov,
according to the declaration. A bonn
bardment of Odessa is feared and Rus
sian shipping companies have removed
their ships from these bodies OF water.
A blockade OF the harbor OF Libau
places the control OF the Black Sea
In the hands OF the Germans, while
the freezing OF the harbor OF Archan-
gel, in the White Sea, sewers Russian
communication with the outside world.
German Defeat In Poland.
Russia and Germany each claim
great victory in Poland. The Russian
claim is supported, however, by re-
ports from neutral countries and from
neutral correspondents. 1t Is said
that the Slavs have virtually crushed
one OF Germany's finest armies in an
engagement staged between the Wis
tula and Warta rivers in Poland and
have taken about $4,000 prisoners.
When the full details OF the Russian
victory are known. declares Lord
Kitchener. commander-ln-chief OF all
the British forces, they will furnish a
story that will astonish the world
describing 4 blow such as has not
been dealt since the days OF Napoleon.
Abandon Guns and Transports.
The Germans have begun a retreat
along the entire front. and in many
places the flight is disorderly rout.
marked by the abandonment OF artil-
lery. maxims and transports. Berlin
meanwhile il beginning to talk about
repulsing Russian attacks, which Is
subtle method OF announcing that the
German troops are on the defensive.
The main Russian force is exclu-
sively engaged against the Plock
group. whose front Is cut in halves.
Its right half is surrounded on all
sides and is vainly struggling as in an
iron wise and striving to break through
to the left wing at Lowicz. which in
turn is battling nnsuccessfully.
A Second Battle Probable.
The same dispatches that tell OF
Won Hindenburg's reverses. however.
say that the German achievements
were being brought up so that another
great battle is likely to develop on a
line nearer to the frontier Of POsen.
where the Germans will have the
same chances of renewing a vigorous
offensive as had the Russians in the
present instance.
General Won Hindenburg has about
100000 men. but II the Petrograd re-
port can be accepted, they have been
separated. badly cut up and thousands
taken prisoner, so these German forces
will require reformation and rest.
Another Russian army Is operating
along the border of East Prussia, and
a third one is pursuing vigorous
campaign in northern Austria. 1t
was said by military experts that the
purpose OF the Austro-German attack
and pursuit OF the Russian center was
to draw of the second and third
armies from East Prussia and Galicia.
What these lesser Slav forces are do
ing has not been revealed.
Veil Of Secrecy.
The veil OF secrecy has been
drawn over the battles between
the Russians and the stro-German
forces. The headquarters OF both
armies now are combining themselves
to the brtefest statements concerning
the hostilities. saying merely that
fighting Is In progress.
