BZURA BATTLE BEGINS
AS Won HINDENBURG,S
MEN MEET NEW ARMY
HOLLAND FEELS SAFE
BEHIND DYKE SYSTEM
SINCE USER BATTLES

THE HAGUE, Dec. 20.-The appar
ent failure of the Germans to force
their way through the regions inundat-
ed along the User is making a great
impression in Holland. The public and
the newspapers cite this as clear in
dication of the effectiveness of inun-
dated land as a means of defense. The
User foundations were improvised at
the last minute, while the inundation
of the province of Holland is now in
complete working order. Large tracts
of land difficult to flood have been
submerged since the beginning of the
war. while the rest of the territory is
now a vast mass of wire entanglements
and deep pits provided with spikes and
mines. all of which, when covered with
muddy water, will be an impregnable
defense
With the present high water from the
fall rains the province Of Holland can
be turned into marsh within a few
days, and the transport of cannon
made impossible For the first time
since the beginning of the war the
government of Holland feels safe, and
is convinced that the nations to the
east and west will hesitate before ent-
ering an impossible swamp which on
a smaller scale is causing such terrible
losses near the Yser

WAR DRAFTS ARE
DRAGGING YOUNG
BOYS TO THE FRONT
Sunny France Must Present Them
selves this Week while Kaiser
Also Calls for More Boys to
Face Allies Guns
Especial to The Republieanl

PARIS, Dec 20.-Three hundred
thousand youths of Is years of age
must present themselves this week for
examination for army service. These
boys who normally would begin ser
vice under the French military system
in October, 1916 are by government de-
cree ordered to report, and their train
ing will undoubtedly be begun in the
spring, unless the war should end be
fore that time. 1t is the plan Of the
war ministry to have these boys ready
to take the field next July if necessity
demands.
Germany has ordered the Landsturm,
consisting of nearly 100000 men and
boys to be ready for active service this
week. The first line Of the Landsturm
consists of men between the ages of II
and 80 who have received no military
training Many of these have already
volunteered and are at the front. The
second line consists of all men, trained
or unframed, between 80 and As years
old From this section of the Land
sturm, many are also at the front. 1t
is believed that the call will bring
nearly half million men to the kaisers
standards.

DELICATE INSTRUMENT
MEASURES HEAT OF STOVES
Wonderful Performance of Recent
Invention of Scientist OF
Uncle Sam.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-An in
strument SO delicate that it records
the heat of the stars, has been COM
pleted by one of Uncl Sans scien
lists in the bureau of standards
With his "cobweb" instrument he has
found out that the heat of the North
Star as the rays fall on one square
millimeter, if absorbed and conser
we'd continuously, would require a
period of 100000 years to raise the
temperature one gram of water one
degree centrigrade Also he has fig
ured out, that if the heat of all
known stars were concentrated upon
the same work. it would take them
between one and two centuries to
accomplish it. The rays of the sun
will do it in one minute.
The inventor of this web like in
strument is w. w. Coblentze, who
took it out to the famous Lick OBJ
servatory in California and placed it
in the telescope to test it, He made
accurate measurements of the heat
of 112 celestial bodies, including 105
stars: and they We're the first ex-
tensive measurements ever taken.
So delicate are the parts of the
instrument that it had to be con-
structed under a microscope. And
so sensitive is it to heat that Mr.
Coblentze says it will register the
presence of candle fifty three miles
away.

BIG BRITISH
DREADNAUGHT
REPORTED SUNK
Thunderer, Carrying Nine
Hundred Sailors, Said to
Have Struck Mine in the
North Sea-Only Twelve
of Crew Saved.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcH1

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-A report
that the British dreadnaught Thu1d-
erer was sunk in the North sea Nov.
:, by coming in contact with a mine
or being hit by a torpedo was
brought here by George Rottweiler
of Chicago, passenger on the
steamship st. Louis from Liverpool.
According to Rottweiler, the sinking
of the dreadnaught was witnessed by
eight men, members of the crew of
a small Swedish sailing ship called
the Seefjord. that put into Liver
pool with the survivors from the
On eadnaught on board. These men
were taken in charge by British Of
ficers and kept under surveillance at
an out of the way sailors mission"
said Rottweiler.
81 heard the report in a rounda-
bout way and through friend man
aged to talk with one of the crew.
He told me the Thunderer blew up
and sank in full view of himself and
his mates on the Seefjord. The
crew hastened to the scene and a
dozen or so men were picked up
from the water"
The Thunderer was dreadnaught
of the Orion type. and was completed
in 1912. She had a displacement of
22,500 tons and a rating of $4,000
horsepower. The Thunderer carried
ten 1875 inch and twenty inch guns
and was provided with a main armor
belt u inches in thickness. She car
ried a compliment of 900 men.

LONDON, Dec. 20.-Field Marshal
Won Hindenburgs army, which is ad-
vancing upon Warsaw over a wide
front between the Vistula and Pilica
rivers and which on Friday occupied
Lowicz, reached Saturday the new
Russian positions along the river
Bzura, SOUTHWARK to Rawa, with the
result that another big battle is in

The Russians retired across the
Bzura, destroying the bridges. Two
German detachments which followed
over a partly burned bridge were at
tackled and it is said have been an
initiated. Fifty of the survivors are
prisoners. This was only the begin
ming of the great battle for Warsaw
from which the Germans are now only
thirty miles or less.
Won Hindenburg, however, expects
a stern resistance which the strong
ly reinforced Russian army is certain
to offer to a further advance. 1t is
protected by the Vistula, which the
Germans have been unable to cross.
The offensive operations of the al

KEEPS SMALL ARMY BUSY
TO GET HORSES FOR WAR
Supply of Available Animals Becoming
Rapidly Exhausted

LONDON, Dec. 90. = Providing
mounts for the British army so con-
stantly exposed to German fire on the
continent keeps five remount depots in
England and Ireland busy.
Each depot is under direction of an
army officer, who is assisted by vet
erinarians, roughriders, grooms, and
blaclSsmiths. Many Canadians from the
western provinces have been drafted
into the remount service because of
their skill as horsemen and experience
in managing wild animals.
Both artillery and cavalry have suf
fered very heavy loss of animals in
Belgium and France and there is con-
slant demand for many different kinds
of animals Hunters, carthorses, cobs
and heavy animals for vans used by the
commissary are bought by the remount
officers and shaped up for the field.
