Severe Storms Follow
Lull in Flanders Battle

London, Nov. l5.-After four weeks
of most desperate fighting there is a
lull in the battle in Flanders. With
this lull. however, has come little re-
lief for the men in the trenches, as the
artillery and rife fire 70 which they
have been subjected with hardly any
intermission has been replaced by one
of those severe storms which so often
accompany November in this latitude.
In some parts Of England the storm
has reached the proportions Of bliz-
zard; on the sea a heavy gale RACES.
and the battlefelds are getting their
full share of wind and rain.
For the most part the opposing
armies have been content 20 shell each
other at long range, but the Germans
have made several attacks around
Ypres, which, according to the French
General staff. have been repulsed with
heavy losses. Despite these losses, il
is not believed that the Germans have
any intention OF giving up their at
tempt 10 reach the French coast, and
the Allies are making elaborate prep
arations 10 block any further advance
in force.
Extensive defence works have been
erected along the User Canal, and the
ttucu armies are NolQlNR tudL line
from the Belgian border south to the
River Disc, and pushing forward sp-
proach works which place them in a
better position for either defence or
offence.
The Germans report that they have
taken a few hundred British and
French prisoners, but that the unfayor-
able weather has impeded their prog
ress. Concerning the sighting around
Dixmude, the public must rely on un-
Official reports. Here il is said the
Germans are finding the destroyed vii
lage a death trap. They have been
unable 20 debouch from this point IN
the daytime, as all approaches are com
manded by the Allies guns, and night
attacks have met with disaster
The fact is apparent that neither
side has been able 10 make any sensi-
bic advance, both being so well in
trenched that neither artillery nor n
fautry can move them
The Germans are turning Belgium
into a fortress, which means that "
they do not succeed IN advancing they
intend 70 be prepared for a winter in
Belgium. The whole coast from Ostend
to the Dutch border has been placed m
a state Of defence. and civilians are
vigorously excluded from that area

wears old, a widow, committed suicide

Fichel. who lived there together, had
intended to rent some Of the rooms,
but were not successful.
Mrs. Bradford had been an invalid
and had been abroad for her health.
Discouragement over her physical con-
dition and difficulty in renting rooms
are believed to have caused her to end
her life.
Soon after the body was found a
man. said to be retired army officer
and ex-suitor, called Mrs. Bradford on
the telephone from Philadelph hia. he
was told Of her death.

RUSSIANS PRESS
MOVE ON CRACOW
Continue to March on
Stronghold, Despite
Fierce Resistance.
[By Csble % The Tribune ]

Petrograd, Nov. l0.-Cracow IS mo-
mentarily expecting the arrival of Rus
sian troops, and the Austrian Emperor
has sent frantic appeal to the Ger
mans TO send reinforcements at ell
costs. The peaceful population has re-
moved from the fortified area, and the
inhabitants generally are fleeing in
CONSERVATION from the country.
The Russians are now within one
march of Cracow on the East. Cracow
is surrounded by triple line of forti-
fcations, of which the outer line con-
tains fifteen forts, eleven on the north
bank and four on the south bank of
the Vistula. The defences on the
north are much stronger than those on
the east, where the San, with the fort
resses of Jaroslav and Przemysl, was
regarded as q secure barrier TO the
Russian advance. The Russians have
broken down this barrier, and only
two small streams lie between their
eastern army and the last stronghold
Of Galicia.
The following official communication
was issued from general headquarters
tonight:
"On the East Prussian front, at
Stalluponen, around Angerburg and
near Johannesburg, our troops are max
ing successful progress in the fighting
The action continues in the region OF
Soldau and Neidenburg, where We have
progressed, notwithstanding the des-
perate resistance of the enemy.
"On the left bank of the Vistula the
battle proceeds along a front from
Plock Poland to the River Warta. On
the front between Kalsz and Wielun
the enemy has Withdrawn. In the
neighborhood of Czenstochowa and
toward the south the enemy has at
tempted an offensive, but this has
failed.
"Our march on Cracow continues.
an Galicia the Austrians are seeking
TO organize a defence on the San
River, in the Douanietz region. west
Of the front comprising Zabno and
Tarnow, and on the Wisloka, on the
Jaslo front.
an the region 70 the south of the
Galician front our troops are adyanc-
ing toward the passes across the Car
pathians."
Berlin (by wireless to Sayville, Long
Island). Nov. l5.-The confidence of
the local authorities in the ability Of
the German forces to hold back the
Russians is again indicated by the dec
laration of the President Of the Prov
ince of Posen that the danger of Rus
sian invasion is not present. so far as
it is humanity possible to Judge.
Adyices reporting the sentiments Of
the President also state that warning
has been issued 70 the inhabitants Of
East Prussia, particularly 10 those in
the western part, not 10 leave their
homes, since there is no danger of in
vasion.
The Austrians in Servia appear to
have met with a stout resistance north
west of Valjevo, where they are hamp-
cred by bad roads and snow. Servian
prisoners are said TO have stated that
their army planned 20 make a decided
stand ct that point
The Austrians, however, report that
they gained ground, and their gunboats
on the River Save caused heavy losses
TO the enemy. No fighting is reported
from Galicia.

Plans for Attack Made.
In the war archives of Germany are
complete plans for aerial attacks on
both Paris and London. Details for
such attacks have been figured out
with Metz as the base For an attack
on London they calculate upon leaving
Metz as darkness falls, crossing the
channel at height of 5000 feet. I'm
der ordinary circumstances London
would be gained before midnight.
Then the bag would be dropped to
5000 feet and the work of destruction
begun. Its nitroglycerine cartridges
could rander London helpless in few
hours. Furthermore, the English cap
ital is inadequately protected with
searchlights with which to detect a
night attack.
Any Of the nine non-rigid dirigibles
in the British service would be unable
to cope with one rigid Zeppelin.
Attacks on Paris have been out.
lined from the same base-Metz.
Paris is better protected by sky
searchlights than London.
France has 80 dirigibles, but all of
the non-r1gid type, which cannot be
compared with the giant Zeppelins, OF
which Germany has Is, with as many
more dependable dirigibles of other
types.
On the Russian frontier Germany
will find but trifling resistance to her
air fleets.
Germany virtually is 1mpregnable
to an air invasion. At Metz, Leipsig
Cologne, Baden Baden, Hanover
Frankfort and Johannesburg she has
the most powerful searchlights in the
world.

Offered Them.
Lcndon.-There were more Ameri-
cans in the west end of London dur
ing the days following the declaration
of war than Englishmen. They were
chiefly crowded about the Offices of
the American Express company and of
the steamship lines trying to get
checks cashed and secure passage
home. =
The express companies were able to
afford much relief to those in financial
straits and the steamship companies
booked hundreds of passages, although
no guarantee could be given that Brit
ish steamers would sail until their
safety was assured by the navy.
The greatest demand, therefore, was
for berths-on American liners. Per
sons who usually travel in the most
luxurious cabins were eagerly buying
berths in the steerage which had been
secured by earlier visitors to the
steamship Offices who were offering
them for sale, but at greatly increased
prices. The main Office Of the inter-
national Mercantile Marine was
TANNED with Americans, and a like
condition prevailed at the Offices Of
the Cunard and Canadian lines, which
were still doing business.

(From the Chicago Tribune.)

(From the Chicago Tribune.)
This article Is written by man in
the secret service of great world
power. Under the guise of a profess
sional aviator he has flown over every
capital In Europe, making photographs
with a secret camera attached to his
machine for the war ministry archives
of his government. AS a designer and
operator OF aeroplanes he is known
the world over. His article, therefore,
deals particularly with the air equip
ment of the various European nations
for war.
Whatever the final outcome Of the
war, this Is certain:
Germany Is going to surprise the
world by her mastery Of the air.
For Germany and not France ranks
first in war aviation. The ponderous
dirigible. not the feet aeroplane, Is
the most destructive machine that
scars.
l. Ready to Attack London.
Germany stands ready to assail
Paris, Warsaw, and even London by
an attack from the air, and the odds
are against the defenders
While Frenchmen have been captur-
ing the prizes in aerial contests. Ger
many has been far from idle. After
experiments with every kind of engine
that scars the air she has abandoned
the newer, heavier than air creations
for the dirigible of ancient origin. This
she has made the deadliest machine
that flies.
+ l have worked as an 1tinerant me-
chanic on the military air craft OF
every nation OF Europe.
Germany and France represent two
distinct and different types in air fight
ing. France stakes her all on the aero
plane. The Gnome motor Is her foun-
dation. Germans cannot duplicate 1t.
The Russian air corps are a mere
shadow Of the French system. Aus

The dirigible Is a fighting machine
"a dreadnaught of the aid. And the
aeroplane Is scout cruiser, and lit
tie else. -
Why DirIgIble surpasses.
Here, in brief, is why the dirig1ble
surpasses the aeroplane as fighting
machine:
It carries a crew Of from 10 to rs
men to take observations and direct
operations.
Can carry as much as Is tons of
nitro-glycerine cartridges - sufficient
to demolish Chicago.
Can hover over city during night
time in silence, and while slower, can
outmaneuver an aeroplane, inasmuch
as it can hold stationary position,
while an aeroplane must keep moving.
Carries rapid-fre guns which can be
aimed with deadly accuracy.

Russia does not present an unbroken

There can be little doubt that the
most restless element in that vast en-
pire is made up Of the ten million or
more Poles who have been forced to

eminent with respect to that people.
The spectacle Of the Poles of Russia
rising against the st. Petersburg gov.
eminent and joining IN sympathy with
the Austrians will be natural result
OF the treatment the ten million have
received as subjects of the car.
Russians and Poles, although both
Of the Slavic race, have nothing in
common politically. Antagonist be-
tween them has been handed down
through the centuries, and it did not
die out but famed higher after the
smaller nation had been dismembered
and absorbed in part by Russia.
Russia denies her Polish subjects
everything that savors of preferment
In. military and political life, although
they come of fierce race, ambitious
to rule. She attempts to force the
Russian language on the Poles. In
this she has succeeded in large meas
ure, although the Poles cling tena'
ciously to their ancient tongue and
their traditions.
The Poles Of Russia are ardent revo-
lutionists, it is said. The conserva
tives belong to the National league
which Is described as an organiza
ton to conserve patriotism, and the
radicals are to be found in the ranks
Of the Socialist party.
Germany's policy toward the Poles
within her gates has not been pur
sued with the ruthless severity OF
Russia. The Prussian effort to "dena
tionalize" the Pole in the Fatherlanc
Is not calculated to make the Poles
love their rules, but little blood ha:
been shed in the last sixty years
There appears to be no disposition OF
