up to November 4, as computed by the
Wiener Rundschau, totaled 100000 in
dead, wounded, victims Of disease, de-

were attributed to the battles against

London, Nov. 27-The Russian gen.

tails of the victory which all other
dispatches from Petrograd say the
Russians have won over the German
forces which penetrated Poland.
Tonight's official report simply says
the battle continues to develop to the
advantage of the Russians and that
the Germans are trying to extricate
themselves from a position very I'M
favorable to them.
The Germans, Cl the other hand,
claim they have inflicted heavy. losses
on the Russians between LODI and Lo-
wicz.
The military authorities in Petro-
grad, assuming that the unofficial re-
ports of a victory are true, express
establishment that the Germans should
have attacked Lodz, for they say de-
feat there was inevitable.

the north and south, these military

Sheerness, Nov. 27.-The British
battleship Bulwark was blown up
while lying at its moorings in Sheer
ness harbor.
About eight hundred lives were lost,
as the vessel sank before the dense
cloud of smoke and fame cleared
away. Fourteen members of the crew
escaped death and were picked up by
vessels which quickly came to the
scene.
Next to the dreadnaught Audacious,
sunk by mine off the north coast of
Ireland on October q, the Bulwark is
the most serious single loss that the
British navy has 80 far suffered in the
war
Plan to Sift Disaster.
1t is believed that the Bulwarks ex-
plosion occurred in the ships forward
magazine. Whether it was caused by
accident or design Is a question to be
determined by the commission which
has been appointed to investigate.
There Is little evidence that the
ship was torpedoed or struck by a
mine.
The force of the explosion was so
great that on some of the other ves-
sells lying In the harbor there was not
piece of glass or crockery left whole,
even half-inch plate glass in the port
holes being shattered.
Houses seven and eight miles dis
tant were shaken and windows broken.
Pieces of the ship even were thrown
six or seven miles on the Essex shore.
Workmen ashore waiting to be re-
lieved after the night shift state they
were looking casually at the shipping
in the harbor, when terrific flash
shot up into the sky, followed imme-
diately by clouds of smoke.
For few brief minutes this drifted
seaward, and to the mems amaze
ment, not vestige of the great bat
tleship remained. So staggering was
the blow that the workmen who had
been dazed by the severity of the ex-
plosion for few moments almost dis
credited their own senses and debated
as to how many ships they had count
ed before the explosion.
The Bulwark, which was one Of the
older battleships, cost G1,000, 900
($5,000,000). 1t displaced $4,000 tons
and had been in service about fifteen
years.
Churchill Announces Loss.
London, Nov. 27.-It was officially
announced by Winston Spencer
Churchill, first lord of the admiralty,
that the British battleship Bulwark
had been blown up off Sheerness, on
the Thames, 35 miles down the river
from London.
A vice-admiral and a rear-admiraI
who were at Sheerness reported that
they were convinced that the disaster
was caused by a magazine explosion.
Mr.. Churchill, speaking in the house
of commons concerning the disaster,
said: 1.-THE loss of the ship does not
sensibly affect our military position.
but | regret the loss of life, which was
very heavy. Only Ia men were saved.
All the officers and the rest of the
crew, which ordinarily numbered be-
tween 700 and 500, persisted"

Paris, France.-An example of tho
