London, Dec. 7.-IIaying taken LODI
and advanced 25 miles with both their
flanks, the Germans in Russian Poland
were gaining control today of the main
railroad lines leading to Warsaw.
They were also threatening the lines
connecting the Slavs southern front
with its base. If these successes con-
tinued, British experts said, the czar's
operations against Czenstochowo would
have to be abandoned and the Russians
might be compelled to withdraw from
the Cracow region.
That the conditions referred to actu.
ally prevailed rested on German Official
statements, No denials were forth.
coming from Petrograd, however, and in
their absence, the Berlin version was
accepted here as true
Fighting was reported to be still in
progress at How. north of LODI, and in
the vicinity Of PetrokOw.
Lodz was said to have been partially
destroyed by the German bombardment
German accounts said it was finally
taken by bayonet charge. 1t was al
mitted that the kaiser's troops en-
countered desperate resistance even
after they had carried the Russian
trenches, and that they were repulsed
repeatedly before they ultimately won
The fighting for LODI lasted about q
week and was of the bloodiest char
acter, Petrograd dispatches described
the woods about the city as filled with
the unburied bodies Of dead German
soldiers. The roads, too, were covered
with German and Russian eorpses dead
animals, wrecked batteries and frag
ments Of equipment.
As result Of the week S fighting tn,
German line had Strengthened from the
Vistula river to Last, south Of LODI.

ARE YOU MODERN?
People with modern methods
buy specialties from specialists,
because they know they can
get greater values for their
money; they know that the
specialist is thoroughly famil-
lar with the merchandise he is
handling and selling and is,
therefore, better enabled to
serve his customers.
When you get your in
surance policy, be sure to go to
a specialist; one who makes it
his business to know the better
interests of his customers. Fire

DARING SUBMARINE
RAID AT DOVER, ENG.
Half Dozen German Vessels Reported to
Have Tried to Enter the Harbor,
and British Kept Up Flu
rious Fusillade.

London, Dec. IL, 1882 a. m.--Half {
dozen German submarines made an at
tempt Mt $3.50 o'clock Thursday mornin.
to enter the admiralty harbor, according
to Dover dispatch to the Exchang,
Telegraph Co., and, for half an hour thu
batteries kept up furious fusillade, fir
ing at least 200 shots.
1t is reported that two or three of the
submarines were sunk, but no confirma-
ton of this can be obtained.
The attempt was made under cover oil
early morning darkness and during a
heavy rainstorm. The first alarm, says
the dispatch, was given by the firing of a
naval gun and soon all the batteries were
in action.
The admiralty, to whom this dispatch
was submitted, said that it had not re.
ceived confirmation Of the reported at
| tack.
Dover is opposite the French town of
Calais and is one Of the chief ports of
communication between England and the
continent. The admiralty harbor, com
prising an area of dl0 acres, il the finest
harbor of refuge in the channel. Its CON
struction was begun in 1908 and complet-
ed in 1909 at a cost of SIT 100000. There
are numerous forts guarding the en-
trance.
Dover, England. Dec. 10, via London
Dec. IL, 2.l5 a. m.--The city OF Dover
was thrown into excitement to-day by
the announcement that the Germans early
this morning attempted submarine at
tack on the harbor works and the fleet at
anchor in the harbor
The night was very dark and heavy
rain and haze made searchlight work diff
ficult. Fortunately the forts were put on
the alert about o'clock this morning BY
the appearance off the harbor entrance OF
an unidentified steamer which refused to
stop until a shot was fired across her
bow This vessel then retired. She is be-
lived to have been the tender of the sub
marines.
Half an hour later. it is said, single
submarine was sighted and one of the
heavy guns in the harbor was fired at
her. This submarine, which evidently
was the advance scout, disappeared, but
at $50 the observers sighted what they
believed to be fleet of about six sub |
marines several miles out in the channel |
The channel forts commenced firing in |
the direction of the supposed submarines
and kept it up for almost half an hour. |
At the same time a torpedo boat destroy |
er hotilla put to sea, where it remained |
all day.
large crowds gathered on the water
front in the early morning hours and
watched the searchlights and the artillery
fire. When they saw no results of the
'heling many persons expressed the opin-
ion that ii was false alarm.
There is no official confirmation that
5erman submarines were seen.
