WARSHIp ASHORE"
WAS THE KANSAS
Captain Reports He Anchored
Off Ocean City Because
of Storm.

Washington, Dec. THE United
States battleship Kansas was identified
tonight as the mysterious vessel re-
ported by the coast guard officials at
Ocean City, Md, TO have stranded off
that place last night and later disap-
peared without leaving clew as to
her identity.
Captain II. F. Bryan, Of the Kansas,
wirelessed the Navy Department that
his vessel took refuge from the storm
off Ocean City last night, and suggest
ed that as no other vessel was in that
vicinity the Kansas must have been the
warship reported in distress.
The captain said his ship had battled
her way up the coast in the face of
terrific gales, but had not been dam
aged or in distress, and anchored mere
ly as a precautionary measure.
Knowing nothing OF the reports
which had been sent broadcast OF Of
the sending Of the revenue cutter
Itasca to his assistance, Captain Bryan
made no report until his ship was on
her way TO Delaware Breakwater,
where she arrived tonight.

DOUBLE RESCUE
CHEATS BIG GALE
Warship Picks Up Life
savers While Return
ing from a Wreck.

Point Judith, r. l., Dec. IA double
rescue was enacted in 72-mile north
east gale to-day, when the crew of the
Point Judith lifesaving station, who
had snatched two shipwrecked men
from deaf on the Point Judith break
water, were in turn rescued by the tor
pedo boat destroyer Morris.
The little oyster boat Luella Nicker-
son was trying to make the harbor of
refuge inside of the breakwater when
she brought up on the end Of the wall
and quickly went TO pieces. Her two
men, Captain F. w. Fisher, of Barn
stable, and a seaman, managed to reach
the top Of the rocks, where they were
in momentary danger Of being washed
into the sea.
After terrific struggle the surf
boat OF the Point Judith lifessvers
reached the men and got them safely
aboard Exhausted by their efforts, the
crew were unable to force their boat
through the heavy seas to shore. Their
plight was quickly apparent TO Cap
tain Herbert NJ Knowles, superin-
tendent of the Sd Lifesaving District,
and he appealed to the Newport naval
station for help.
Lieutenant Commander Eberle was
at once sent out with the destroyer
Morris. Most of her crew were ashore,
but, hastily gathering volunteers,
Eberle drove the Morris through the
storm TO the side of the helpless surf
boat and took the worn out men aboard
without nishap.

London, Dec. s.-Despite the belief
that the Allies extreme left in Flan-
ders was so strongly situated that the
Germans had abandoned their original
purpose of pushing westward toward
Dunkirk and Calais. il was officially
announced tonight by the French War
Office that the enemy had bombarded
Oost-Duinkerke, which Is a coast town
about two and half miles west OF
Nieuport.
While certain positions held by the
Germans west of the User Canal and
east of Nieuport are sufficiently near
Oost-Duinkerke TO permit of lombard
ment, it has been reported not only
that those positions were few, but also
that they had been successfully at
tackled. Moreover, the statement had
been made that none Of the German
positions near the Flanders coast were
tenable for heavy artillery, to say
nothing of the supposed presence Of
the British feet, which several times
has raked the German lines.
Whether the bombardment of the
place between Nieuport and Dunkirk
means German advance westward
along the coast or merely an artillery
demonstration at long range does not
appear. The latest German official
statement has no mention of the occur
renee which the French statement ad-
mits.
The bombsrdment of COST Duinkerke
has additional interest because of the
reports that the allied feet is again
shelling German positions along the
Belgian coast.
To-day's reports, both official and un-
official, mention successful advances by
the Allies in Flanders.
Heavy firing heard along the Belgian
coast to-day, according to Reuter- dis
patch from Amsterdam, indicated that
the warships of the Allies were again
bovlbardiDg the German positions.
The Sluis correspondent of the Han
delsblad" says that the Germans de-
livered violent attacks to-day on the
trenches recently captured by the AL
lies, but were repulsed, and adds that
the Allies have made marked progress
in the neighborhood of Langemarck,
Zonnebeke and Bixschoote. The Ger
mans have been obliged to substitute
lighter guns for the heavy guns, as the
have made the use of the
latter imprscticable.
According to most reports, the Allies
are now virtually in possession Of the
left bank of the User Canal, and in
Northern France, particularly in the
Of La Bassee, where the
Germans hold a strong position, the
Allies are beginning with heavy can
nonade to feel their way eastward.
The same process is being followed
along the whole front, and the French
official communication speaks OF "the
of our offensive" and the
advantage" of the French ar
tillery over that of the Germans.
The advance, little as it is in the
northwest, has removed for the persent
a. least in the minds of many the Ger
man menace of the coast ports. II is
that so long as the Germans
are compelled 10 keep up the strength
IF their army IN the east they will be
unable TO assume the offensive in the
west. There is a report, however, that
The Germans have kept the pick of
their western army in the Aisre Valley,
whence at an opportune moment they
,an hurl IL against the French lines
Ind make another effort TO get through
10 Paris.
