led straight to Dunkirk, on the channel.
Attacks around Ypres also were re-
pulsed, the French announced.
Elsewhere on the main line of battle
gains by the allies are reported, in
cluding the capture of town north of
the Aisne. At several points violent
fighting is in progress, circumstance
which corroborated earlier unofficial ad-
vices from Paris that the battle of the
Aisne was being resumed with its orig
inal intensity.
Military experts in France and Eng
land have been predicting that the al
lies would make fresh efforts along the
center or on the eastern wing in an at
reinforcements there and relieve the
pressure in Belgium.
From the other fields of battle there
is little new information. In Berlin
was received dispatch from Vienna
which, while stating that the Austrian
operations in the northwest were de-
veloping without hindrance from the
enemy also contained the admission
that central Galicia had been evacuated
by the Austrians, and that the Rus
slams had crossed the lower Vistula
and occupied Rzeszow, which lies OH the
line of the Russian advance toward
Cracow.
In the Stry valley, east of Przemysl,
however. a Russian defeat is reported
by Vienna. A Petrograd dispatch has
it that the Germans suffered severe
defeat beyond Kalisz, leaving many
dead on the field. This report, how
ever. has not been confirmed.
Vienna states that the campaign
against the Servians is proceeding sue
cessfully, and that the enemy has been
forced to abandon fortified positions
and is in full retreat. Fighting centcrs
along the banks of the river Save which
separated northwestern Servia from Au-
stria. At one position, according to Au-
strian reports, 1890 Servians were
captured.
In the Caucasus the fighting contin-
ues with severity and Turkish reports
to the effect that the Russians are now
being attacked on their second line OF
defense. Beyond earlier admissions that
the Turkish attack was severe, Russia
has given forward details of the fight
ing in this theatre.
Great Britain is calling for another
million of men to pour into the war. A
supplementary estimate providing for
this force was introduced to-day in the
House of Commons.
Indications point to another naval
battle in the Pacific. The German fleet
apparently is remaining close to the
South American coast, and reports from
various places suggest that Japanese
and British warships are drawing in on
the Germans. Destruction of German
submarine is reported unofficially from
Dunkirk. A French torpedo boat, at
tackled by the submarine, is said to
have run it down.
Although the fighting at Using Tau
has ended, further loss of life there
was reported from Toxic today. The
explosion of subterranean mine killed
ten men and wounded 90.
Aside from the situation in Belgium.
the chief point in to-day's war news
was the safe arrival at Valparaiso,
Chile, of the German cruisers Leipzig
and Dresden. These warships were a
part of the German feet which defeat
ed the British squadron off the Chilean
coast November 1, sinking the cruisers
Good Hope and Monmouth with the loss
of more than I 800 men. Nothing had
been heard from the Leipzig and Dres-
den since the battle, and there was con-
eern as to their safety, although the
Germans reported that their fleet had
suffered little in the battle.
