ARE OUTNUMBERED.
AUS1R .ANS have BARD Task
Declare Retirement of Right Wing
Made Evacuation of Belgrade
Necessary.

>4London, zee. 15.--A1 offensive
increment of the French and Brit
ish has become general and is being
pushed with strong forces, particu-
larly in Flanders, ArgoIne, Woevre
and Alsace. While the french claim
to be successful at all points except
Steilbach in Alsace, the German Of
ticial report says the Allies attacks
were unsuccessful at several places.
Allies Superior Numbers.
On the whole, it appears that the
Allies now have a superiority of num-
bers. The artillery succeeded in
making some progress and withstood
vigorous counter attacks by the Ger
mans. The only news from the east
this evening is an admission CT the
German general staff that the Ger
man column which advanced through
tMlawa toward Warsaw has reoccu
pied it's old positions owing to super-
ority Of the enemy"
Confirms Russian Accounts.
This in measure confirms the
Russian accounts of the victory Oh
this part of the battle front. The
Austrians succeeded in crossing the
Carpathians, according to their own
account, driving the Russian left
back toward the river San. ..
The Austrians and Germans have
undertaken rather a difficult task,
forcing the Russians to withdraw
from the front at uracow and also re-
lieving PrZemysl. The Austrian ar
my in Servia has not recovered from
the surprise the Servians gave it..
The Servians turned on the invaders
and drove them westward and north=
ward from the Servian territory.
Only a part of Seryia is in Austrian
hands. This comprises a small terri
tory, including the towns of Shabats
and Losnitza. Headquarters at Wen

serts the retirement of the right
wing made it advisable to abandon

Washington, d. c.. Dec. 15.-The
voluntary internment today of the
German converted cruiser, Cormoran,
twenty-five officers and 1856 men, at
Guam, an American Pacific Ocean in
sular possession, brought what prem
ised to be a troublesome question an
volving the observance Of American

justment This is the second German
vessel to intern in American waters
since the outbreak of the war. The
other is the Geier, intemed at Homo
lulu some time ago. Officers and men
will have TO remain interned until the
end Of the war unless the Allies con-
sent to their parole. Little is known
of the Cormorant except that she is

Will
Be Sent to
Canal Zone

Washington, Dec 15.-The presi-
dent and his cabinet decided to send
American warships to the canal zone
to guard against the violations of
neutrality there by the belligerent
ships. Just how many ships will be
dispatched and the kind is to be de-
termi1ed after full report from Col
onel Goethals, the military governor
Of the zone, and Captain Rodmal
the naval officer at the canal. Secre-
taries Garrison and Daniels made it
clear that delay in acting was due to
a lack of Information. The war de-
partment, after two messages from
Colonel Goethals, asked specific in
stances Of what occurred, but tonight
no further information was received,
In probability some cruisers now on
west coast of Mexico will be sent to
the zone instead of destroyers as
originally asked by Goethals.

.BULWARK DESTROYED;
INTERNAL EXPLOSION

London, Dec 15.-It was officially
announced that the sinking of the
battleship, Bulwark, November 26,,
off Sheerness, with the loss of 800
lives, apparently was not due to a
hostile act. Inquiry into the disas-
ter shows it was the result Of an ex-
plosion due to accidental ignition OF
ammunition aboard.
FoRTUNE.TEuLERs IN BAD.
Lubbock, Germany, Dec 15.--For-
tune-tellers now are forbidden to
practice in any part of the German
Empire. Soon after the war broke
out, they began to do an enormous
business with relatives of soldiers in
the field, who wanted to know how
things were going with them. Wis
its to the fortu1e-tellers often had
their tragic consequences. as many
of the callers were in high state of
nervous tension.
The uncertainty of relatives re-
garding their men folk at the front
has heen aggravated by the complete
muddle of the field postal organiza-
ton, which is being severely criticiz-
ed by the newspapers.

ness OF the United States to defend
the Panama canal in event OF war
was subject of a series of questions
put to Commander Stirling, COM
manding the Atlantic fleets and sub
marine flotilla at today's hearing, OF
the house naval affairs committee.

ion that an addition to the navy OF

Replying to the question: lis our
naval force prepared to give US con-
troll of the canal against a navy the
size of Germany's?" Stirling said:
ut is not very well prepared Stir
ling said the lack of a base would
handicap operations of any hostile
navy against the canal.

ed States today of it's determination
not to tolerate the continued firing
by Mexican factions at NacO and So

United States will return any artil-
