NEW BRITISH GUN
DOES DEADLY WORK
Races Forests at Safe
Range - Rifles Sighted
Further than Foes.
tBy Gable to Tho Tribune }

Northern France name OF town cen
sored). Nov. 20.-The fighting Of the
last few days around Bixschoote and
Ypres has proved conclusively to Cen
eral French's staff that the Germans
have no effective counter weapon to the
new British field gun.
These guns have razed whole forests
to the ground, and the Germans have
therefore shown a disposition not to
intrench themselves too systematically
in the thick woods around Ypres, Lille
and La Bassee. In places where the
British have advanced, corpses, bat
tered and mangled by fallen trees ana
branches, have been found in the Ger
man trenches. So terrific has been the
effect of these shells that more than
score of 5000 prisoners captured with-
in the week have become almost insane
The British are convinced that the
German artillery will require CONSIDER
able improvement before 1t can as
lodge the English guns.
The success which has attended the
British rife fire has called attention
10 the fact that the rifle is sighted over
a much greater distance than either
the German or French. Consequently
il frequently happens that the British
decimate the German advance Tor near
lv ten minutes before the extreme slgnt
Of the German rifle can be brought INTO

HINDENBURC TELLS
WHY He WILL WIN
German Soldiers Think
ing and Nerves Better
than Russians.

Berlin (via The Hague and London),
Nov. 20.-"The Russians have numbers
on their side, but numbers alone are
not the decisive factor. In the present
stage of the war less than ever before
we are not afraid of Russian numerical
superiority At Tannenburg the Rus
slams outnumbered us three TO one, yet
the result was notable German vic
tory"
These are the views of General Won
Hindenburg. now facing the great Rus
sian war machine, as expressed in con-
versation with the Berlin correspondent
of the "Neue Freie Presse," of Vienna.
"The Russians" said General Won
Hindenburg, "are good soldiers and OBJ
serve discipline, but discipline OF an
other sort than that of the Austro-Ger-
man, which is based on thinking and
the execution of command, while the
Russian discipline is q mere blind, dull
obedience.
"The Russians have learned much
since the japanese war, particularly in
the science of entrenching, but when
the ground is frozen they Will no
longer be able 20 dig themselves in.
Then they will have bad time OF II.
That is one of the advantages the win
ter campaign will bring US.
at is d sad but good thing that war
and sentimentality do not go together.
The merciless conduct of war is in the
end the most merciful, because war is
soonest ended thereby.
"The war with Russia is now chiefly
a question of whose nerves will snap
. first. If Austria and Germany have
stronger nerves--and they have them
than thew will he victorious"
Berlin, Nov. 20 by wireless TO Say
Vile, n. Y0.-The opinion was ex-
pressed in military circles here to-day
that, notwithstanding the great num-
Der of Russian troops in Poland-esti-
mated at 100000, excluding those in
the Schirwindt region-General Won
Hindenburg would soon be able to
report a decisive victory. The post
/ ton of the Russian forces is consid-
/ cred unfavorable, both on account OF
/ the nature of the ground and because
/ such large forces are concentrated
within a comparatively small territory.
/ Interest in the situation in the west
/ is momentarily eclipsed by that IN the
east. Reports from Vienna tell Of sue
cesses in Galicia, including the occupa-
/ ton by the Teutonic allies of Iarnow
and Wieliczka. According TO these re-
ports, seven thousand prisoners were
/ taken.
Constan,inople reports further vic
tories near Azov, Salinas and Zavatlar.
It is also said that in consequence of
the advance Of the Arabs the govern
mental departments of Port Said Suez
and Ismailia have been transferred to
Zagazig, an Egyptian town forty miles
from Cairo. The government Of the
Suez Canal Is reported TO have been
taken over by the military authorities.

NATURE OF CANAL
CARGOES A SECRET

Panama, Nov. 2O-Stringent orders
have been issued to preserve neutrality
throughout the Panama Canal Zone
Hereafter no information will be given
to any one relative to the cargoes car
ried by the sh ps using the waterway
and entering the terminal ports.
These orders have resulted partly
from President Wilson's recent neu-
trality proclamation and partly from
the efforts of British diplomatic and
consular agents TO learn what ships
carried coal and other probable con-
traband through the canal for possible
transfer at sea to German warships.
Army and navy officers stationed in
the Canal Zone also have been eau
toned not to give information.
