AND DEAL CRUSHING
BLOW TO THE CZAR
Tn the West There Is a Lull
in the Fighting, Partially
Due to the Cold Wave,
Which Numbs and Ex-
hausts the Opposing Ar
mics i'm Flooded Areas

Comparative calm in the West and re-
awakened activity in the East was tax
en- by London to indicate that German
military chiefs have decided to concen-
trate their energies at the present stage
of the war toward dealing, if possible, a
crushing blow to Russia. Such fragmen-
tary reports as we're received to-day
from the eastern zone of fighting showed
the German army still pressing the Rus
slams back through Russian Poland over
the same battlefelds across which the
Russians few weeks ago were advanc-
ing victoriously.
No clear explanation has been made of
the reversal of form of the opposing
armies, although it has been reported on
several occasions that the Germans were
sending thousands of their finest troops
from France and Belgium to the East.
Russian war chiefs state that their ad-
vance in East Prussia and Galicia con-
tinues in spite of their admitted retreat
in the center. The German strategists
believe that the repeated reverses in
Russian Poland will cause the Russians
to draw back their north and southern
armies.
Besides the possible withdrawal of Ger
man troops for use against Russia there
is another reason for a lull in the fight
ing in the West. Cold, wet weather has
numbed and exhausted the soldiers so
that great physical effort is almost in-
possible. The weather in Belgium COM
pared with bleak windy December day
on the New England coast. The storm
continues and the waters of the North
sea flow through the locks at Nieuport,
which the allies opened to flood the low
lands and hold back the German ad-
vance.
Notwithstanding the extended flooded |
area the invaders hoped to renew their
advance, and German ingenuity is to be
put to the test to provide a scientific
method Of crossing the inundated ooun-
try.
The outcome of yesterdays naval bat
tie in the Black sea is still unknown.
No fresh information has been received
to reconcile the conflicting claims Of Rus
sia and Turkey, each Of whom asserted
that a hostile battleship was seriously
damaged.

Welsh, worlds champion light weight,
fought ten.round bout with Jimmy
Duffy of Lockport here last night, Upon
the result of which opinion was divided
between a draw and a share for Duffy.
A few of the sporting editors called
the bout a draw, but the majority of
those present gave il to Duffy by a
shade. The condition of both men in
dieated that they had trained thoroughly

the fight was a fast one. neither man
scored knock down and both came out
OF the ring in good condition. Dutfy's

old cut over Welsh's eye. which had
been opened by one Of Duffy's jabs, was
bleeding freely.

New England Coast Lashed
by Wind and Gashed
by Breakers
3-MASTED SCHOONER
FOUND IN DISTRESS
Four Fishing Vessels Driven
on the Mud Flats Near
Provincetown, Mass.

Boston, Nov. 20.--The first southern
England coast lashed itself to pieces off
the shore late last night and early this
morning, and as usual, shipping suffered
while the high tides caused much dam
age along shore. At sunrise the gale APP
parently had blown itself out. Inland
the storm was not so severe, although
there was a miniature blizzard in New
Hampshire and Maine.
The vessel proved to be the schooner
Fannie and Fay. The crew succeeded in
reaching shore with much difficulty, on
their second attempt.
At PASSPORT, Me, the wind blew mile
minute. Four fishing vessels were
driven onto the mud flats of Cape Cod
near Proyincetown but only one of the
boats was damaged.
Dawn disclosed three masted schoon-
er in distress off Cape Porpoise, Maine,
with two of her crew making an effort to
reach land. The nearest lifesaving sta
tion was twenty miles away, and so a
call was sent for a revenue cutter from
Portland.
The sandy shores OF Cape Cod were
badly torn by the heavy breakers, and
at one time the Chatham lifesavng sta
tion was all but swept into the sea by
the waves. The breakwater off Sand
wich saved the Cape Cod canal from
being choked with sand A heavy rain
accompanied the storm in southern New
England, TO the partial relief of the long
1routh.
