The first lord Of the admiralty, Win

lowing message to the Sydney and TO the
navy board OF the Australian common
wealth.:
"Warmest congratulations on the bril-
liant entry of the Australian navy into
the war and the signal service rendered
TO the allied cause and to peaceful COM

London was glad to hear the report
that Capt. Won Muller, the daring COM
mander OF the Emden, and most of the
officers of the ship had escaped with
their lives. All the officers and the men
of the ship wore decorations from the
Kaiser in the form OF iron crosses in rec
ognition of their bravery.
The value of the ships and the carsoes
which the Emden and the Koenigsberg
have captured or destroyed has been va
riousIy estimated at from 81. .OO0, 900 to S21.-
100000. British shipping experts base
these figures on the values OF known VIC
tins Of the two cruisers raids. There
is a possibility that additional losses
have been inflicted, but not reported to
London.
The Emden held a rowing commission.
Her mission was to destroy commerce,
and wherever commerce was likely to be
found vulnerable, there the Emden was.
She may have struck merchantmen
whose position was not Of record, and
from which no news was obtainable aft
er they were struck, owing to the thor
oughness OF the Emden's work of de-
struction and the quickness of her execu-

CURES REPORTED

DR.. Robert Able Says Tumors

Cases Where Operation Was
Impossible.

New York, Nov. lo.-Dr. Robert Able.

reports some remarkable new cures
through the use OF radium.
He strongly asserts that destructive
tumors and malignant cancer OF the
breast and epItheliat cancers Of the face
AYERS that even in advanced stages the
growth OF cancer can be retarded, and
one-third in time added to the expecta-
tion OF life. DIR. Able gives specified in
stances to prove his assertion.
Speaking OF cancer Of the breast, he
says that In six cases where surgeons
would always advise mammary amputa-
ton he used radium to cause the quick
disappearance of the dangerous growth
Thereafter, he says, the health Of the pa
tents was unimpaired.
He declares that he has not hesitated to
test radium rays upon apparently hope
less cases OF cancer where there was alb
solutely no chance OF a successful opera
ton. In 10 per cent OF these advanced
cases; he asserts, the disease has been
arrested and life OF the patients pro-
longed.
Hopeful of Treatmeat.
The distinguished medical investi-
gator speaks hopefully OF the use Of
radium IN cases of advanced cancers
of the tongue Even when operations
have been Fesorted to. he points out,
the disease is almost sure to renew Its
malign attack. In cases where the
half tongue was first removed. DR..
Able finds that the use of radium has
apparently checked the recurrence OF
the disease.
He instances one patient, part OF
whose lower jaw was destroyed by a
pure myclold tumor in which the
teeth were set as II In jelly" Radium
rapidly reduced the mass until gritty
bone began TO form, and the Jaw began
to resume its normal shape and strue-
ture The teeth once more became
solidly imbedded and the jaw has re-
manned normal. and 1t seems prooabls

By BERNARD BELANcoURT.

Flushing, Holland. Nov. IO,-Hampered
by the floods that let loose when Ger.
mans were gaining the advantage in the
valley OF the User, the allies have beer
unable to follow up the opportunity that
the sudden retreat OF the German troops
afforded them.
The lighting for many days has CON
sisted of isolated efforts on either side,
and on some days there has been a COM
plete absence OF conflict except for the
continued action of the artillery.
The allies have been unable TO ad-
vance their guns because Of the marshy
state Of the country.
Ostend is now the western point on
the German line, which extended to
Middlekerke before the User dykes were
cut. This defensive line OF the Germans
has been made practically impregnable
by the deep trenches and barbed wire
protection.
The entrenchment operations OF the
Germans were conducted with the great
est secrecy. No one Is allowed to enter
the Ostend district.
Even local military authorities have
been forbidden to issue passports.

Tide Ebbs and Flows.

About Ypres. where the Germans have
concentrated for their supreme effort in
Belgium. the tide Of victory has ebbed and
flowed for many days. On Saturday they
gained successes northeast and southwest
OF Ypres and nearly encircled the town,
but the next day a fierce counter-attack
by the allies forced them to give up their
advantage.
All reports agree that the German
troops are showing marked discipline, en-
durance and stubbornness. This is espe-
ciaIly true in the case OF the volunteer
corps from Berlin, who bore the brunt OF
the fighting in the attempts to take Nieu-
port, Ramscapelle and Dixmude, while the
veterans were fighting at Ypres.
The volunteer corps suffered terrible
losses, thousands being killed, wounded
or taken prisoners. They also lost many
guns. The banks Of the User between
NieupOrt and Woumen form a huge
cemetery. The wounded are being con-
veyed from that district by thousands TO
be removed to hospitals in Germany.
