Was Not in the Fight.

Lima Peru Nov. 6--British sub
jects and officials here declare that
they are far from satisfied with the
German reports of successes in the :
battle of Sunday night off the Chilean
coast.
They state they have received in
formation that the Good Hope, re
norted to have been set on fire by tre
German guns, did not participate in
the fight at all.
They also claim good reasons tc be-
lieve that the German light crlH5er
Bremen and Leipsig may have been
sunk in the fight.
1t is considered certain here that
battle between the Germans and Il
combined British Japanese squadron
can be expected soon.
1t is known that such a squadron IS
searching for Germans who steam
ed northward after leaving Valparaiso
but who have net since been reported
by merchant vessels.

Aehens, Nov. 6.-Constantlnople
adyices declare that the Turkish
army is partly demoralized by the
suddenness of the Russian attack
which disarranged all Of the army
councils strategic plans.
The Turks had expected that the
Russians would be caught short of
troops in Caucasia, and had prepared
several columns with which to strike.
Instead, however, the Russians, with
out waiting for any formal exchange
Of declarations of war, threw four
flyinc columns across the border into
Armenia.
Today the strongest Of these, after
lecisevly defeating the Turkish bor
der guard, is pushing rapidly forward
toward Erzerum A second column,
which took Fort Bayazet after three
hours of fighting, is also moving into
lie interior.
The Turks, reduced to the necessity
of fighting defensive campaign, are
now rcorganizing their line and are
diverting troops originally intended
for operations against the British in
Egypt toward Armenia. The Turk
ish army, concentrated at Karakillls-
Sc, Giacin, and Arsah, mas moved
sack from those positions to others,

Tendon, Nov. 6.-The correspondent

states that the Bannockburn ruse has
been repeated successfully by the brl'
tish in the battle of the User. He says;
"About 25 yards in front of oul
trenches deep pits were dug These
were covered with branches and loos>
turf. as at Bannockbnrn, and into
these the Germans fell in heaps, Car
ling out pitiably when, too late, they
discovered the stategem.
"our troops watched their des-
truction with grim sang fro!d ana
continued to bring down as many as
nossible before they reached the pits,
SO that they would not be toe quick
ly checked.
"Although the Germans more tnan
filed the pits others came on IN great
or numbers and the. pits soon became
scene of appalling horror. The Ger
mans struggled, cried and fought Ont
another in their vain attempts to eS
tricate themselves. Many were ac
cidently transfxed by the bayonets o.
those who had first fallen, Wh'l
others were shot by comrades A shei
fell into one pit and the hudd'ed
mass within was blown out OF ex's

GERMANS ATTEMPT
TO renew BATTLE
Invaders Expect to Cross in
Boats From Bruges
and Vicinity.
A DESPERATE, CLASH.
Territory in Which Struggle is in
Progress Uttered With Dead and
Wounded of Both Armies.

Paris, Nov. 6-The Germans are at
tempting to renew the battle of the
User.
Reports from Belgian sources say
that the enemy have requisitioned a
large quantity of boats from Bruges
and that neighborhood and are ex-
.pected to attempt to cross the deep
est part of the waste of water cover
ing the north country.
Artillery is being moved into posi-
tion to Illustrate this attempt.
Ignorance of the exact openings OF
the dykes caused the Belgians un-
Intentionally to violate the military
principle of inundation as a means of
safety. The strategic plan provides
for depth which will make it impos-
sible to move artillery and yet not
deep enough to use boats. The Bel
gians. apparently have turned too
much water into the User territory
and the Germans will endeavor &c
benefit thereby. Meanwhile, the fight
ing in that section has settled down
into an artillery duel in which the
Germans have the better Of it 6e-
cause of the weight of their artillery.
On the other portion of the line the
fighting continues unchecked. In the
vicinity of Ypres the fighting is of the
most desperate character. Both sides
are being constantly re-enforced there
and the fighting swings backward
and forward across ten-mile stretch
of territory which is simply Uttered
with dead and wounded of both ar
mics.
The fighting between Lille and Arm
there's and in the vicinity of Arlas
is also warmly contested. The allied
lines here are declared to be holding
firm in the face of all assaults.
The German attacked in force IN
the Argonnes last night and gained
an early advantage which they were
later forced to rehquish by q det-
trimmed FRENCH bayonet charge.
