Speedy Check
on ENJOYS Who
Talk Too Much

Washington.-A speedy end to the
series of displeasing interviews given
out by European diplomats since the
beginning of the war was indicated
with the announcement of A. Rustem
Bey, the Turkish Ambassador, one OF
those who have incurred the Presi-
dents displeasure, that he is leaving
in ten days for Constantinople and the
reputation by Baron Won Schoen Of
the German Embassy of the interview
with him published here.
The Rustem Bey interview in ques.
tion contained the statement that the
sending of United States warships
to Turkish waters in connection with
reports of dangers to Christians would
lead to serious situation.
The incident of the offensive inter
view given by Baron Won Schoen on
the relations of the United States and
in which it was stated that
the Japanese regarded war with this
country as inevitable, came to, an
abrupt end when the German diplomat
repudiated the interview.

100000 Russians
Are Confronted by
100000 Germans
Cassaek Force Now Reported Near
Cracow-One of Cars Armies
Follows It; Another Moves
Toward Warsaw.

London.-Immense forces of Rus
SLAMS are rapidly nearing the Ger
man frontier on line of advance
150 miles wide. London expects
within a week to hear of a pitched
battle, as vast as that of the Aisne,
between 100000 Germans and Aus
trians who are concentrating on this
line to save the Kaiser's territory
from 100000 Russians.
Dispatches from Rome, Petrograd
and Amsterdam confirm previous in
timations that all attempts to hold
the Russians within Galicia and Po-
land until the combats in the West
are decided have failed, and that the
Germans, withdrawing from Russian
territory, are combining with such
Austrian forces as have escaped cap
ture or disintegration in a final eff
fort to block the Russians from Prus-
sia and Silesia.
The Russian advance is a double
movement. A great army is moving
westward from Warsaw and the south
for the purpose of striking at Posen,
while another army, released from
Galicia by the collapse of Austrian
resistance, is cooperating by an ad-
vance against Cracow.
Belief that the direct Russian ad-
vance against Germany is rapidly
progressing is partially confirmed by
an announcement of the Breslau Ga
zette that the military authorities
there have cut all telegraphic COM
munication between Breslau, Posen,
Oppeln and Liebnitz. This would in
dicate the approach of the Russian
armies. There were rumors that Cos
sacks have been seen a few miles
east of Breslau.

A report from the French Foreign
Office at Bordeaux, says Dompierre
has been reoccupied by the Allies,
while the Germans were said to be
attacking Noyon and Richecourt with
the Allies on the defensive there.
Capture of Berry Au Bac by the Allies
was also reported.
Heavy losses were inflicted upon
the Germans in a retreat to Blaumont,
according to the report. The Ger
mans were said to be forced out of
Lesseux and also the adjacent heavily
wooded country.
The Germans are once more in their
trenches, after giving ground slightly
between the Disc and the Somme.
They lost prisoners, flags and guns
and the spirit of the allied troops is
as unbroken as their ranks.
Desperate attempts made by the
Germans on the western end of the
long battle to break through the AL
lies forces, engaged in a turning
movement, resulted in the most fu-
rious fighting that has taken place
since the beginning of the campaign.
After fighting without respite night
and day, for As hours, corps after
corps of Germans was hurled against
the flower of the French and English
armies, only to be thrown back.

Germans Now In
Control of Cracow
Military Commandant Displaces Aus
trian Civil Government and Resi-
dents Quit City in a Panic.

London.-The Austrian defenders Of
the fortified city of Przemysl in Ga
licia have evacuated Bourgade and
Medyka and have been repulsed in a
sortie from the eastern line of forts.
The Russians are reported as having
taken the fortified position of Czysch-
ky and Fouldtyn, which covered
Khyroff and other position in the
Radymno region.
A dispatch from Petrograd says
that the Russian army is massing
before Cracow and that the next big
battle of the war is on. .
Reports of battle between Rus
SLAMS and Germans came by way Of
Copenhagen. The Copenhagen dis
patch said that the Germans were
opposing a Russian army advancing
toward Breslau," which is the first
real indication that the Russian forces
were near Breslau, in the province Of
Silesia.
The Russians have seized all the
passes in the Carpathians and have
of which are cities of considerable
size and both junction points on the
railroad that crosses the Carpathians
into Hungary from eastern Galicia.
Positive denial was made at the
War Office in Vienna that the Rus
slams now are before Cracow. In
stead, it is stated, the Austrians are
now on the offensive in Galicia and
they are enthusiastically attacking
the Russians at every point. Heavy
rains have prevented the Austrians
following up their advantage.
Cracow has been occupied by Ger
man troops. The Austrian civil ad-
ministration has been displaced and
the town put under German mill
tary commander. All the original
administration of the town and all
civil officials of the Austrian Govern
ment have left and the residents are
fleeing in a panic.

bombs.
One struck the Avenue z De Smet
de Mayer bridge, on the outskirts OF
the town; another fell in the harbor,
and another on the premises of a

the building.
The explosion here made great
cavity in the ground and badly dam

Zeppelin returned toward Thielt,
twelve miles northeast of Courtrai.

A majority of the wounded come
from Galicia, and they relate tales Of
fearful haPdships. The Russians have
captured immense quantities of the
winter clothing for the Austrian
troop. The snow already has begun
to fall, and the troops in the field are
suffering from cold.

Paris.-The Government report con
tains the assurance that the Allies
flanking movement is vigorous in
spite of increased German resistance
and that the severest fighting is now
with the bayonet. Germans and AL
lies have been struggling back and
forth over the same ground and the
loss of life is frightful. The Allies
centre holds, while the right strives
to clinch victory.
Furious bayonet charges by the
German right center in the region OF
the Craonne forests and deserate
battle in the Somme district, north oi
the Disc, were features.
The attempt of the Anglo-Frencf
force in the Somme region to turn
General Won Kluck's right and sever

GERMANS HAVE MADE GREAT

PARIS CONTENDS ALLIES HAVE
STEMMED FOES ONSLAUGHTS

London.-While the censorship is
more strict than at any time since
the opening of hostilities, it is ex
planned that there are certain evl,
dences, especially on the extreme
left. that the Germans are weakening
The Allies have been heavily re-
enforced and are subjecting the forces
of Won Boehm and Won Kluck to stern
pressure along the line from scissors
north to Mons
In this connection a report tele-
graphed from Ostend that Mons had
been set on fire, created sensation
here. 1t is at Mons that Gen. Won
Boehm established his headquarters
when he started south from Brussels
with the main army that was operat-
ing in Belgium. 1t was also Won
Kluck's base of supplies.
Won Boehm's army was assigned
to prevent Won Kluck being outfiank-
ed by the French army, operating
from the northwest, where 1t had
been gathered to support new Brit
ish force. 1t means that the British
French armies are in strong forces
and have raided the German COM
munications far north of the point,
where up to the present any fighting
has been reported.
The prolongation of the tension on
ihe two long lines of fire and death
fronting each other on the Aisne has
become insupportable to the Germans,
since reports indicate that they have
changed their tactics and attacked
with the bayonet General Joffre has
succeeded in pushing his lines inside
the range of the deadly heavy German
guns forced the enemy to hand-to-hand
fighting.
The losses of the last few days on
both sides are said to exceed all
other engagements of the war. Stories
have reached here from Belgium that
the Germans, unable to bury their
dead on the field, have shipped them
behind the army by trainloads in or
der to avoid epidemics.
Belgian troops have cut the Ger
man line of communication between
Mons and Brussels by blowing up
the railroad, according to an Ostend
report. Another Belgian force des-
troyed a troop and supply train near
Hasselt.
The official statement from the
British War Office is more laconic
than ever. 1t sums up the situation
in these brief words:
"The situation is satisfactory and
the counter attacks on the British
front have been beaten back with
eavy losses to the enemy"
New German troops have appeared
opposite the Allies left. Despite
these reinforcements the work Of
crushing the army of General Won
Kluck is proceeding. The losses Of
the last three days are declared to
exceed those of any previous fight
ing since the war began.
The heaviest offensive movement of
the Germans has been against that
part of the battle line between Rheims
and Souain, where the Prussian
Guard, heavily reinforced, attempted
to break down the French resistance.
1t was driven back by a counter at
tack by French infantry, supported
by Turcos. Later the attack succeed
ed. the French falling back some dis
tance, only to regain their lost ground
by a series of spectacular bayonet
charges.
