task of pushing through Poland ar
mics of sufficient size to cope with
German defense will be enormous.
We cannot hope to see big battle
on the frontier for several weeks.
There has been reorganization after
the recent fighting, the Austrians ap
parently abandoning the whole of Ga
licia and holding the passes over the
Carpathians so as to harass the flank
of the Russian advance on Cracow.
Przemysl is certainly doomed and
then will come harder nut to crack
-Cracow.
Even the Russian cavalry excursions
over the frontier will have an enor-
nous moral effect on the German
people. The arrival of a thousand
refugees in Berlin, fleeing from the
imaginary horror of the Cossack, will
count for more than battle lost.

How Indians Fight.
(By Andre Beaumont)
Northeast France, Nov. 12.-These
are the details of wonderful charge
by Pathans near Ypres. The East
Indians were assigned the mission of
watching for the approach of the Ger
mans during the night.
A lieutenant with a patrol of the
Pathans set out in the dark and soon
reported that the Wurtemburg troops.
apparently several thousand strong,
were in the neighborhood of Holle-
beke.
AS a preliminary the East Indians
cut the throats of a few sentries and
fired on others, so that the night ad-
vance of the Germans was checked.
Another battalion of Pathans then
set cut under cover of night, creep

lys stealing behind the outposts of the
Germans.
AS he did so, each Pathan had his
battle knife between his teeth ready
to pounce upon any sentry that should
try to give the alarm. They were
told, however, to be quiet, as secrecy
was one of the conditions of success
in this daring ambush.
A body of Moroccan troops and
several detachments of Counters ap-
, preached likewise at each flank and
before anyone had heard the bugle
call the Germans were attacked on
/ every side.
, In the dark the Indians seemed tt
: be everywhere, terrifying the Germans
/ by their sudden leaps and tiger-likc
attacks. There was an indescribabl,
struggle. German machine guns and
artillery wildly opened fire and tn,
infantry scattered it's bullets liberal
