ment In beginning to gather impetus
ana is meeting with stubborn resist
ance from the German troops who
have been left to hold the western line
while their comrades are battling
with the Russians In the east.
The French have been particularly
active in the Woevre region. where
they have been trying to cut on the
German force with projects like an
arrowhead to st. Mihiel on the Meuse.
The German report shows that
General Joffre's men have reached a
point midway between st. Mihiel and
Font A. Mousson. so they must have
got across the German line OF COM
munications. but they lost 500 men In
prisoners and a large number OF kill
ed and wounded.
In the same region the French
claim to have made substantial pro-
sress. There also has been more
nghting around Ypres-that bone OF
contention In Flanders.
No Declsion In Poland.
The battles in Poland continue al
most without intermission and while
both Russians and Germans announce
successes and the capture OF prison
ers and guns. apparently no decisive
result has ben reached in any series
OF contests. The Germans are still
delivering heavy blows at the Russian

BUENOS AIRES. Dec. 13.-The Ar
gentine government has received
word that the German cruiser Dres-
den has arrived at Punta Arenas on
the strait OF Magellan. A dispatch
from Puerto Gallegos says that a
vessel has been sighted near there
surrounded by English ships.
The dispatch Indicated that this YES.
sci probably was a German. and said
that In appearance she resembled the
Nurnberg. The Nurnberg, however
was reported by Vice Admiral Sturdee
to, have been sunk by the British
squadron.
A later dispatch received from
Puerto Gallegos said the vessel had
disappeared aud that 1t was believed

The fate of the Dresden, the last
OF the squadron OF five German cruis-
ers under Admiral Count Won Spec,
which was defeated by the British
Vice Admiral Sir Frederick Sturdee's
squadron OF the Falkland islands De-
cember ), seems still to be a matter
or conjecture. Dispatches ro m
Beunos Aires yesterday reported that
the Dresden was stranded at Puerto
Gallegos while a Valparaiso. Chile
dispatch by way OF London said that
the Dresden had taken refuge in an
inlet on the coast OF Patagonia.
In the recent engagement, accord
ing TO the official report. the Ger
man cruisers Gneisenau, Scharnhorst.
Leipzig and Nurnberg were sunk. The
Dresden made her escape toward the
end OF the engagement in the direc-
ton OF the strait of Magellan and
was pursued by the British.
Another cruiser not accounted for.
which. however. did not take part IN
the battle. is tho Karlsruhe. A recent
dispatch from Buenos Aires gave the
report that the German battle cruiser
Won Der Tam had reached the south
Atlantic. There are also two or three
merchantmen which have been con-
verted into cruisers.
