BRITISH WARSHIPS
RACING VIA PANAMA
TO CATCH GERMANS
Steamship Into New York
Sighted Fleet Believed
Headed for Pacific to En-
gage Victorious Squadron.

NEW YORK, Nov 10-Seven British
dreadnoughts are racing under forced
draft to the Pacific Coast over the
Panama Canal course to join tho
japanese squadron in an effort to destroy
the German cruisers which defeated Ad-
mlral Cradocks fleet off the Chllian coast
last week
Such was the word brought to New
York yesterday by the officers ana pas
sengers of the United Fruit liner sur
name. The reporA placed the seven sea
terrors opposite the Bahama Islands lasI
Friday.
The Campista, another ship halIng
from Brazilian ports, also reported see
ing British warships headed southwark
while between Pernambuco and hio
Janeiro. In shipping circles the opinion
was expressed that the British naval
authorities divided the new fleet desig-
mated for service In tho Pacific into two
squadrons, and sent one around Cape
Horn through fear OF difficulties In get
ting through the Panama Canal
Colonel George w. Goethals, Governor
of the Panama Canal Zone, reported last
night he had heard nothing from Wash
lngton relative to the use of the canal
by warships. The regulations for tho
use of the canal which were drawn to
conform with the Hay -Pauncefotel Treaty
and approved by Congress, make the
canal available to the vessels of war
of all nations. Tho only condition is that
they shall not remain in the canal longer
than is necessary to make the passage,
nor in neither of the terminal ports
longer than Ia necessary to take on coal
and supplies.

CZAR HAMMERS
CRACOW FORTS
IN NEW ATTACK
Cossack8 and Artillery Reach
Gateway to Silesia-Rus-
sian Offensive Entirely
Within German Territory.
PETRoGRAD. Nov. L

PblhONThADt NOV. lU'
Continuing their aggressive advance
along the entire battle line, the Russians
today began heavy attack on the line
of forts Of Cracow.
Cossacks and heavy artillery already
have regalned all the ground abandoned
in the advance interrupted by the Aus
tro-German invasion of Poland.
The Russian movement into the province
Of Posen has continued vigorously,
Goldap, one Of the first points to be
taken in the first Russian invasion Of
East Prussia. is again in the hands Of
the Russians. The advance guard. rush
ing through Posen province is declared to
be approaching Thorn, the southernmost
fortress of the vistula defenses in Ger
many.
The Cars forces have also entered
East Prussia at Soldau, opposite Mlawa
in Poland, and leading directly to Grau-
denz. one of Germany's strongest forth
fications commanding the Polish frontier.
All the zones of contact in the eastern
war theatre are now inside German ter
Itory. The Russian cavalry, which in
vaded Posen, has pierced the left flank
Of the Germans at the crossing of the
Warthe River at Konin.
These cavalry operations, with strong
supports, have nulifed the entire defen-
sive preparation of the Germans inside
the Polish frontier.
The Russians now hold without resIs-
tance the great line of entrenchments
running from CZenstochowa southwark on
Cracow and northward on Kalisz. The
Russians have captured 1900 cars laden
with coal standing In railway sidings in
East Prussia In positions the Germans
have evacuated.
1t is reported that in forcing the passage
OF the River San the Russians have
turned the German Austrian retreat into
rout.
The Germans have made the utmost
possible haste to reach the frontier. They
have not engaged in 70 single serious bat
tie since they left the vicinity of War
saw. During their retreat they have
made extensive use of motorcars, Of
which they are said to have 10000 on the
eastern front alone.
About 10000 of these cars have been at
the disposal OF the rear guard, which,
after each attempt to delay the Russian
pursuit has thus been enabled to over
take the main body without difficulty.
The succession of victories gained
by Russia in East Prussia, West Poland
and Galicia, and the extraordinary pow
erful and rapid sweep westward of the
Grand Duke Nicholas main armies are the
greatest achievements so far by Ger
many's antagonists Military critics pro-
nounce 1t miracle of warfare, compara-
BILE to the greatest operations of modern
times.
It was officially announced that Ger
many is moving troops from Belgium and
France to the frontiers of East Prussia,
| Posen and Silcsia.
II was also announced that Przemysl
the Austrian fortress in Galicla, has been
hastily prepared for a second siege.

ALLIES BEAT BACK ATTACKS
AS BATTLE GROWS FIERCER

and the Allies volleys have been fred by
friend against friend.
Throughout the days and nights Of
constant Fighting while earth and sky
were obscured with the dense murk, the
roar Of artillery has been incessant all
along the line from Dixmude to Arras,
for the artillery duel has not yet been
decided
YPREs IN FLAMES.
The Germans have bombarded Ypres
with heavy guns and the city is in flames.
The Belgian town OF Staanam. lying be-
tween Dlxmudo and Langemarck was
caught in the vortex of artillery FIRE and
has been demolished.
The concentration of pressure on the
part of the Germans around Ypres and
Arras indicates that the invaders are
pressing another supreme effort to break
through the lines of the French, British
and Belgians. 1t is unofficlally reported
that the Belgians, who have been push
ing eastward along the coast, while act
ing as the advance guard of Anglo
French forces. have penetrated to the
outskirts of Ostend. This bears out the
reports which came from the front on
Saturday to the effect that the Allies
had massed a heavy force of men south
of Mddlekctko and east Of Nieuport,
with the object of beginning 81 offensive
movement in that vicinity.
French military experts are now pre-
dieting that French soil will soon be clear
of Germans. Some express the opinion
that by the first OF the year fighting will
be in progress in Germany However,
the conservative element believes that
these predictions are premature. The
strong German lines protecting their
main line Of communication are Intact
and Germany is still able to raise more
troops.
CzAR's VICTORIES BIG FACTOR.
One big factor now in the lighting in the
Western theatre is the reverse which the
Germans have suffered at the hands OF
the Russians Germany must have more
troops in the eastern arena to stem the
onrush of the Muscovite forces. The
Kaiser must send fresh equipment into
that zone to replace what has been lost.
The morale of the German army has suf-
fered from the Russian victories. and the
depression caused by losses in the East,
coupled with the detection caused by the
| inability to make progress in the West
must inevitably have decided effect on
] the outcome.
