Paris, Nov. l2.-At the battle OF
Vailly, which the Germans claim as an
overwhelming victory, the French
obliged TO fall back, were unable 10
get away with all their guns. but had
time to bury most of them. The only
one they did not bury was spiked so
that the enemy could not make any

gunner of the battery covered hlmsell
with glory. The guns crew had been
ordered back, but he declared he would
not abandon the gun while any am
munition was left. Methodically he
emitted she'll after shell into the Ger
mans, who were moving up IN serrieG
ranks abreast, only half mile away
Closer and closer they came, hrlng VOL
levs as they advanced. but the gunner
stood his ground and still had dozen
shells left when they were not more
than 500 yards away. At this distance
he howled them over like ninepins, pu'
nothing could stop them.
He let fly his last she'll at only hfty
wards. and did such awful execution
that he was able 20 remove the breeeh
block and made good his escape.
He received ball between the RIBS.
Hardened as they were TO slaughter;
some Of those who witnessed the deed
turned sick and faint at the ghastly
sight Of msuled and mangled Germans.
Six hundred were literally blown TO

of the islands, sailed away, and have
not been seen since.
Fairly next morning, Tuesday, the
Sydney returned and anchored off the
island. From members of the crew
some details OF the running fight with
the Emden were obtained. The Sgd
ney, having the advantage in speed,
was able to keep out of range of the
Emden's guns and to lombard the
enemy with her heavier metal. The
engagement lasted eighty minutes, the
Emden finally running ashore on North
Keeling Island, an utter wreck.
Only two German shots proved ef-
fective. One, which failed to explode,
smashed the main range finder and
killed one man. The other killed three
men.
Each of the cruisers tried to torpedo
the other, but both were unsuccessful,
and the duel proved contest in hard
pounding at long range. The Sydney's
speed during the fighting was twenty
six knots and the Emden's twenty-four
knots.
The Sydney left here at IL a. m. on
Tuesday in the hope of picking up
survivors of the Buresk, the collier
that had been in attendance on the
Emden and was sunk after an engage
ment on the previous day. Finally,
with several wounded prisoners on
board, the Sydney left here yesterday.

London, Nov. 12.-The tendency to
overlook the fact that the raids of the
German cruiser Emden have been
ruinous for Indian ports, in view OF
the sportsmanlike behavior of Captain
Won Muller, will be modified by dis
patch from Calcutta, printed to-day in
"The Morning Post" giving eyewitness
accounts Of the sinking Of the Russian
cruiser Jemtchug.
Ii appears that the Emden approached
Penang, and replied to the Russian
cruisers challenge with, Yarmouth;
coming to anchorage"
Before the officer of the watch could
reply the Emden swung her stern tow
ard the Jemtchug and fired torpedo
striking the cruiser amidships. She
then poured broadsdes into the Jemt-
chug, which blew up with a deafening
roar as fire reached her magazines.
The whole affair lasted barely twenty
minutes. and very few of the Jemt-
chug's men escaped.

Petrograd. Nov. IA dispatch from
Constantinople says that the Turkish
cruiser Goeben was penetrated by a
shell at her waterlne during the re-
cent bombardment of the Dardanelles
by the Anglo-French feet. The damage
inflicted is described as serious.
The Goeben is one of the two Ger

being the Breslau.
Reports reaching the Russian capital
from the Turkish border attach in

by the Russians the Armenian students
have shown themselves ready TO join
the invading army, and explained that
they had prepared themselves for the
Russian approach by constant drilling
and by gathering arms secretly.
All along the line of march, accord
ing to these dispatches, the Armenian
peasants are receiving the Russian
troops with enthusiasm and giving
them provisions freely. An Armenian
newspaper, referring 10 this crisis IN

Hundreds of DesertiOns In BOs-

Harsh Measures.
fBy Cable 10 The Tribune ]

Rome, Nov. 2.-Harrowing details
of the condition of the Austro-Hun-
garian forces have reached here. Be
fore the last great battle. which proved
such crushing defeat, the Austrian
War Office sent to the front all the
men of the landsturm. three fourths
of whom were hardly fit for the police
work and railway watching which they
had done up to then, and much less
capable of rendering service in the
field. The military authorities had no
choice but to call them up, for all the
best troops had been put out of action
in Galicia, while the Hungarian cav
airy, which are the best soldiers the
Dual Monarchy possesses, were all
drafted north long ago to help the
Germans push through {, Calais. They
behaved splendidly in Belgium, but
were almost lnnihilated by naval guns.
In n single list of losses sustained by
this crack corps in one week alone APP
pear the names of 867 Magyars belong
ing to the most exclusive circles OF
Hungarian aristocracy.
Apart from its enormous losses in
the field, the Austro-Hungarian army
has been seriously affected as a fight
ing force by lack Of discipline and even
sedition seething in the ranks. Twen-
ty-four regiments from the Carpathia
region were shot down more or less by
wholesale at the very outset of hos
tilities for refusing to march against
the Russians. Despite the terrible ex-
ample made Of mutineers, the spirit
of characterization was not checked,
with the consequence that in the very
first engagements whole regiments at
a time went over to the Russians.
In Bosnia and Herzegovina things
are rapidly approaching a crisis. Ma
tives are deserving from their regiments
by hundreds together, and there is a
constant stream of men returning 10
their homes from all sides. German
troops have been detached TO tetch
them back, and az all villagers side
with the deserters civil war is raging
over entire districts. The Germans are
relentless in their methods of dealing
with mutineers.
In order TO strike terror TO the pop
ulation, executions are carried out by
wholesale. At Bugojno, for instance,
out of $50 ablebodied men that place
contained only III escaped being shct.
At Mostar eighty men were executed
at the same time, while the shooting OF
parties Of fifteen, twenty and thirty at
a tine is daily occurrence. Frequent
ly whole villages are burned down as
a further example. 1t is easy to under
stand after this how the Russians arc
On wing the Austrah5 before them like
sheep, without taking into account the
terrible ravages cholera is making in
the ranks Of the unfortunate Austro-
Hungarian soldiers.

SPY PASSPORT CASE
Chicago Man Says Lody Held
One He Left at German
Foreign Office.

Chicago, Nov. 12.-Charles A. Inglis,
Of Chicago, whose American passport
was found on the person Of Carl Hans
Lody, executed in the Tower of London
as German spy, told to-day how he
lost the paper in Berlin. His story
duplicates the German Foreign Office,
and is being Investigated by the State
Department in Washington.
Inglis, who returned to his home
here a few days ago after a prolonged
soiourn in Europe, was in Berlin when
the war broke out He took his pass
mort TO the German Foreign Office to
have il approved. He handed it TO a
clerk. expecting that in due course of
routine IL would be returned 10 the
American Embassy.
II failed to reappear, however. At
the Foreign Office he could obtain no
trace of il, and after considerable de-
Law he got second document, which
went through without hitch, and by
means of which he was able TO leave
Germany.
Mr.. Inglis declined to comment on
the matter. The paper contained de-
ccription Of Inglis, whichit is said also
covered TO some extent the features OF
the spy.

fBv Cable 70 The Tribunal


Paris. Nov. 1.-THE first outspoken
criticism of the progress of the war
has lust been allowed TO see the light
here II is said TO emanate from Il
high military expert no longer IN the
active service. It may be stated at the
outset that the views he expresses are
ANYTHING but the real Interpretation Oh
the popular feeling. Public opinion
generally shows more than satisfac-
tion with the way the operations are
developing. The French people, al
though aware that mistakes have been
made. and conscious that France vas
decidedly not so prepared for war as
she should have been, are only 100
thankful TO feel that victory will come
70 the Allies in the end, owing to
Joffre's skilful leadership, the inherent
bravery of his men, the stanch sup
mort given by the British and the sig
nal services rendered by the Belgians'
Starting from the viewpoint that the
sole object of the war is TO guarantee
the integrity, honor and life OF the ma
ton. the critic in question protests
against the papers daring to describe
the situation as good, when, from
Rheims to Mezieres, from Lille to Ar
CONNIE. the German hordes are plliaglng
and violating our soil" He further re-
marks:
Hold Sixth of France.
"The German offensive carried them
at one 20, as it were, right across Bel.
GUM to the very gates of Paris. All
Belgium is now in their possession save
for a narrow strip of land, while they
also hold our north and northeastern
country. At a most moderate estimate
this represents, both in territory and
at least sixth of the total
wealth of France. Our losses in land,
buildings. factories, mines, railways
and so on must total $4,000, 100000,
without taking into account the shame,
