SUBMARINE ATTACK ON
DOVER HARBOR REPULSED

The effects of the gunnery were
watched with keen interest by a num-
Der of persons who had hurried TO the
sea front at the first sound of the guns.
Flashes of fire stabbed through the
darkness as the guns were rapidly
swung around into various positions
following the movements of the sub
marines. while powerful searchlights
swept the surface of the sea from piers
and breakwaters.
As soon as the firing started the ves-
sells Of the destroyer fiotilla were on
the move and soon steamed to sea to
take part in repelling the submarines.
About hundred rounds were fired
from the guns Of the eastern pier bat
teries during the operations.
The gunners claim to have sunk one
submarine and to have hit others. Men
belonging to ships which were in the
vicinity Of the attack state that at least
three were hit. They believe that as
many as siX submarines took part in
the attack. No damage was done TO the
British vessels,

GERMANY DELAYS
ATTACK In FRANCE
Reported General Staff
Has Decided to Finish
in Poland First.
rBy Gable to The Tribrns.l

Amsterdam. Dec 10.-The Berlin cor
respondent of the "Algemeen Handels-
HAD" saws it is believed in the German
canital that the German General Staff
intends to pursue the offensive as Wig
orously as possible in the eastern the
atre of war, and that when the opera
tions in Poland are successfully COM
pleted every available man will be con-
centrated in the western theatre.
The correspondent was Informed that
nm TO November 80, the Prussan losses
are as follows:
Killed. about 5000 officers and 10000
soldiers: wounded, LOO officers and
$50. 900 soldiers, and missing, 1,loo
officers and 10000 soldiers. With re-
card TO the resignation of General Won
Noltke. Chief Of the German General
staff. the "Nieuws Van Den Dag re-
marks that it is difficult to believe ne
resigns 4 only for reasons of health.
Very little is known yet about the
situation in the Belgian province OF
Luxembourg, but it can be stated that
the northern part of this province did
not suffer much from the German occu-
nation. Two districts of the southern
mart. however, have been completely
ravaged. many villages having been
totally destroyed. In Belgian Luxem-
burg about 5000 houses are in ruins,
and in some villages many inhabitants
were shot.
Telegraph reports say many German
soldiers in Belgium are suffering from
rheumatism and fever. Cases Of typhoid
fever occurred among the German
troops at brugee. Courtrai, Roubaix
and Tourcoihg.
The Germans seem TO fear renewed
attack on the Zebrugge. Guns Of small
ealibre have been moved up, while on
the left and right sides Of the harbor
entrance neavy guns have been put in
position.

DANIELS DISAGREES
WITH BOARD
fFrom The Tribune Bureau

Washington, Dec. I0.-Secre-
tary Daniels told the House Naval
Committee to-day:
That he believes the President
will keep this nation out OF trou-
BILE. but there is a possibility Of
becoming involved in the Euro
pean conflict.
That he does not approve OF the
General Boards recommendation
for four battleships a year, but
advocates two ships a year.
That there should be a naval
reserve Of former enlisted men
who may be called to colors in
time of warfare.
That this nation does not need
to maintain a big navy like Eng
land, because of its remoteness
from possible enemy.
That he does not approve OF the
Hobson plan for a council Of ma
tional defence.
That he does not believe there
should be one brain guiding or di-
recting the whole policy of de-
fence.
That the General Board OF the
Navy is unwise in its criticism of
the executive department and OF
Congress for. lack of "a definite
naval policy"
That it is not true, as stated by
the board, that the lack of naval
policy has resulted in inferiority
which may lead to war.

Dover. England, Dec. l0.-For near
lv half hour this morning the guns
protecting the eastern entrance OF the
Dover naval harbor were engaged IN
repeling a German submarine attack
A submarine was first sighted off the
western entrance at 4:4O o'clock, and
one Of the heavy guns was fired. The
submarine disappeared before any fur
tner shots could be got in.
It was jus, after $3.50 o'clock that
a second attempt was made. Several
submarines were then engaged in an
effort to enter the hsrbor by the east
ern entrance. There were some war
ships living in the harbor at the time,
and these were undoubtedly the object
OF the submarine attack. The uorn-
ins was very dark and a rainy haze
favored the attempts of the subma-
rines to slip past the defenders.

GERMANS THREATEN
WARSAW ON NORTH
Try Cut Through Mlawa
from East Prussia as
LOdz Fight Goes On.

London, Dec. 1O.-According to off,
cial and unofficial reports the Germans
are continuing their efforts to smash
the Russian armies. While a large
part Of their forces is endeavoring to
hold the Russian centre. another army
is advancing from East Prussia to the
eastern Mlaws and is attacking the
Russian right with view to cutting
communications end entering Warsaw
through the back door.
Heavy fighting also is going on to
the southwest of LODI and 70 the south
east Of Cracow, where the Austrians
and Germans are endeavoring to get
around the Russian left and force these
troops 20 retire from the fortress.
The Germans, in fact, are repeating
on a larger scale their favorIte tactics
of outfankng the position of the op-
posing forces In this they have al
ways been able to gain initial sue
cesses because Cf their ability, with
better means. to move their troops
quickly. The Russians, however here
tcfore have met them with overwhelm-
ing NUMBERS.
Austrians Admit Defeat.
The defeat of the Austrians Dy the
Servians is virtually admitted in the
Austrian official report, which says that
because they have met strong hostile
forces some of the Austrian troops have
been ordered to occupy more favorably
situated positions.
This sudden turn OF events in favor
of the Servians is somewhat of mys-
terry, but it is possible that they have
received reinforcements from Russia
or more guns and ammunition from
some friendly country. Or il may be
that some of the Austrian troops were
withdrawn from Seryia after the oc-
cupation of Belgrade. Whatever the
cause the Servians have inflicted a
severe defeat on the invaders
