Berlin, Nov. IL, via LoAdon.-The

following dispatch regarding the re-

Czernowitz, capital of the Austrian
province Of Bukowina:
"The Austrians made an unexpected
movement, crossing the Pruth a few
kilometers northward Of Czernowitz,
and suddenly attacked the Russian
right wing. The Russians were CON-
pletely surprised. and after a short
resistance decided to fall back upon
their base, which seemed free. How
ever, they were then taken under fire
by Austrian artillery, which caused
terrible losses among the Russian de-

speed was subordinated to durability
and strength. But in those days
(three years ago) aeroplane accidents
were more frequent than they are
now. 1t was thought then that BIZ
planes would be employed exclusively
for military purposes because of their
stancher construction. Indeed, there
was even an understanding il not an
actual rule in the war Offices of the
European powers that biplanes were
to be ordered in preference to mono
planes. All that seems to have been

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. In East Prussia.

Northern France, Nov. 13.-The
battle from Dixmude to Arras is ter
rife, writes o correspondent in the
field. Churches topple down and fac
tories burn with every fresh explo-
sion of shell. No tower which
might be used for observation is al
lowed to stand Explosive shells are
fired at these observation points and
incendiary bombs are dropped on fac
tories.
The aeroplanes are utterly unable
to face the westerly gales which
have followed the period of mist that
made them almost useless and helped
the attacking force to conceal its
place of concentration. At the same
time nearer to one another than at any
previous period.
Strong at Unexpected Points.
The tactical fighting has brought
out quite unexpected strength at par
ticular points of support. Owing to
the small detachments into which the
troops are divided the ground offers
natural places of concealment, and
with the protection of a wood or a
quarry a battery or two may find
itself unassailable.
Attacks can be organized indefinite
ly until the place becomes untenable
by reason of an advance in force by
either side.
The Germans never have shown
more amazing skill In the discovery
of such positions than in the last few
weeks. Their attacks from such cen.
tiers are delivered with great bravery

All of the deliberations took place
in secret according 10 the laws and
traditions of the church. but it was
authentjcally reported that the as
Sembled prelates came To the COnclu-
sion TO support Cardinal Della Chiesa
when IL began as though the rivalry

the cardinal deacon.
In the case of Cardinal Della Chiesa
the answer was in the affirmative.
Then all the canOpies over the cardi-
nails seats were taken down with the
exception of that over the chair OF
Cardinal Della Chiesa.
What name will YOU take ?" was
the next question of the cardinal dea-
con.
Cardinal Della Chiesa had evidently
felt within his own mind the posi-
bility OF his elevation TO the head of
the great church of Rome. for he
quickly responded Benedict XVI.
The new pope was then led TO a
high altar where he robed himself in
his pontiical vestments. Then he
seated himself before the altar and
received the homage Of all the other
cardinals who kissed him upon the
foot. the hand and the cheek.
Election Passes Quickly.
The choosing of a pope was done
quickly. owing to the troublesome pO-
litical situation imposed by the Euro
pean war. 1t also put at rest a feeling
of uncertainty and In some quarters
anxiety which has been felt all over
the world since the death of Pope Plus
particularly 1t had been felt by
all that celebrity was imperative in the
conclaVe. because none knew what
hidden influence might be at work
that would plunge Italy into war.
The prelates wanted to select a citizen
of a neutral country; they also felt
under obligations TO the traditions OF
the church 10 elect an Italian.
When the cOnclaVe came to an end
il was learned that Cardinal Nannu-
telli had sustained a broken leg dur
ing the course OF the deliberations.
Cardinal Vannutelli was confined 10
his bed suffering from a slight fever.
His friends expressed some alarm
owing TO his advanced age and his
general physical condition. He was
suffering nervous prOstration when he
went into the conclaVe.

Another important function which
