Public Interest Now Cen ters Largely in Engage ment Between Russians and Germans Between Wis tula and Warthe Rivers.
VERY STARING
 WITH INFORMATION
Russian Advance Guard at German Frontier Meets ! Superior Force and Is Compelled to Retreat Part of Distance Gained.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcHl

LONDON. Nov. 19.-Public interest is now largely centered in the battle between the Russians and Germans be- tween the Vistula and Warthe Rivers. in Poland, as it is believed the result of the fighting there will have a very marked effect on the operations else where and the duration of the war. Curiosity is, however, far from being satisfied, as both the German and Rus sian headquarters are very sparing with their information. All that is def initely known is that the Russian ad- vance guard, consisting largely of cav airy. which has advanced right on to the German frontier after the battle at Warsaw, met the superior force of the enemy, and was compelled to fall back more than half the distance covered in the advance.
 The Germans are sending very strong forces of men and guns into the country between the two rivers where a battle must be fought. hoping in this confined area the Russians will not be able to deploy their enormous forces to advantage as they have done in all previous battles. Grand Duke Nicho- las. Russian commander-in-c chief. how ever, can chose his own ground for the battle, and it is probable he will select it as far from the German lines of communication as he can.
 In Galicia, before Cracow and in East Prussia, the Russians are pushing their advantage, apparently disregard ing the fact that their center has been compelled to fall back. They are also showing much activity in the Carpathl- ans, their object being to prevent the Austrians retiring into Hungary. In fact. it is said they have already cut off S00,000 Austrians, who will now be compelled, if defeated, to retreat west ward. In Flanders and France, the batt>a which has been going on for 35 days has again developed into an artillery duel and infantry attacks which former iy were frequent. have decreased. This doubtless is due to the inability of the infantry of either side to operate suc- cessfully over muddy ground, and also because of the extended area the allies flooded between the coast and Dix nude
 While they are moving men eastward to oppose the Russians, Germany is re- rOrted to be bringing more big guns to the western front having determined to carry out a big gun bombardment of the allies entrenchments. The Rus sian and Turkish squadrons met in a long distance duel off Sebastopol and both claim to have had the better of the encounter. It is reported from Vienna that Belgrade has been calrd upon to surrender. This city, the cap ital of Servia. has been under lombard ment for weeks and was relieved only when the first Russian advance in Ga licia compelled the Austrians to look after their northern frontier.

NEW YORK, Nov 19.-The unex- pected reversal of a definite plan to re- open the stock exchange on Saturday for trading in bonds was the most note worthy incident of the financial dis trict. Thereasons given for the annul- ment deal mainly with the unprepared ness of certain large bond and invest ment houses to meet the situation which it was feared might provoke a flood of liquidation from foreign and domestic sources. There is also reason to believe the resumption of bond deal ings on such short notice has aroused unexpected opposition from influential banking quarters. It has long been known that most powerful financial in- terests disapproved the renewal of lo- cal operations even on a restricted bas- is until conditions abroad and partic- ularly in London assume a normal aspect.

NJ WORD FROM TURKEY, WILSON
 IN CONVEYANCE
President Knowing Diff culty of Cable Communi- cation Is Patiently Wait ing for Explanation of the Smyrna Incident.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIspArcHl

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-The pref- ident conferred with Acting Secretary Lansing. of the state department and Secretary Daniels on the situation pro- duced by the firing by Turkish land forces on the launch of the American cruiser Tennessee at Smyrna. Asia Minor. The president summoned the two secretaries 10 learn if any word had been received from Turkey she'd ding light on the reason for firing, but found neither cables nor the wireless had yielded a syllable of information.
 The European war has practically paralyzed cable communication to Asia Minor and such messages as are re- ceived come by roundabout routes about five days late If there is con- tinued delay it is probable the govern ment will ask the British admiralty for the courtesy of it's wireless in the Med iterranean to reach the American ships.
 The president and his cabinet are assuming that the shots fired at the American launch were merely as friendly warning, giving the customary notice that the port was mined and closed. Even if the shots were fired with hostile intent, the Washington government believed the Ottoman gov ernment would render an apology promptly for the unauthorized acts of subordinate officials.
 In no quarter here is the incident or it's consequences regarded as serious for the United States has no quarrel with Turkey. The American govern ment is caring for Turkish subjects and the interests of France and Great Brl- tain and there has been every evl- dence of friendliness in the relations between Washington and Constanti' nople. In the absence of definite in- formation, however, the president l: anxious to have the incident cleared III and is waiting with much interest th' arrival Of messages explaining In de tail just what occurred.

played, one half before the La Crosse
and Lu her game and one half after.
The Gym boys were out in full
strength that evening and run off
with the long end of the short score.
The Props although considerably
lighter IN weight played a fast and
good game but they could not cope
with the mighty Gym team in team
work. The closeness of the score
shows that the game was very inter
es ing throughout and it appeared
anyl ody's game as the Gym boys mis-
sod several fine chances to score
while the Props made several, seem
ingly, lucky baskets. The Gym team.
made their points by working the
ball up under me basket and then
shooting, while the Props counted al
most entirely by long shots from the
center of the floor.
The first half ended with score s
to in favor of the Gym quint. Nc.
Claskey had Gagged three baskets and
Grinna one, while Torgerson and
Heroldson had made one basket
apiece for the Props.
The long rest that these teams re-
ceived put them in condition to play
the second half better than ever ard
