Fire that broke out today swept thru
the high ceiled sample rooms, climbed
the walnut balustrades, and soon left
the richest store house Of memories Of
the golden west heap Of calcined

The International was built by
Mackay, Flood and Fair, in the days
when the Comstock lode was making

that Virginia City would stand forever.
All the guests escaped, tho one Of
them, J. Smithers, of Reno, had to jump
for his life from second story window.

Petrograd, via London, Dec. 12.-
Russian military observers contend
that the Germans in withdrawing be-
fore partial successes of the Russians
along the battle front to the north Of
Warsaw, are, following their we'll
known tactics of delaying the advance
Of their opponents as long as possible
by holding each successive trench until
it becomes untenable.
The German lines have been pierced
at at least two points beyond Ciechanow
and Przasnysz, which has resulted in
the seyering Of communications be-
tween the German columns. A German
repulse here. 1t is said, will be signifi-
cant as a strategical advance It will
give the Russian forces operating to
the northwest OF Warsaw, space in
which to maneuyer, on the right hank
of the vistula, their right wing, which
hitherto mas been cramped by the faii-
ing back Of their own troops on the
Polish capital.

German. in Poland Said to Have

German Statement Brief.

Paris, Dec. 12.-The Petrograd corre-
spondent of the Matin wires his paper
that the German plan in Poland has
completely failed. His dispatch says:
The German plan of turning the
Russian right wing at Lowicz and at
the same time completing similar
maneuver on the extreme left on the
river Donajec, has completely failed.
The Germans are reduced 10 making
! bloody and useless attacks on our
'front.'"
Three Moves Checked.
OF the five Austro-German columns
which for some days appeared to be
making steady progress in their in
vasion of Poland, three have suffered
checks according to last nights official
report from Russian headquarters.
The column which was making a
downward stroke from Miama, on the
East Prussian frontier, and which was
reported in one dispatch from Petro-
grad yesterday to be within fifteen
miles Of Warsaw, was repu]sed after
an energetic offensive, and under coun-
ter attacks from the Russians was
compelled to retire at some points.
The attacks Of the main German
column, which had its front on the lire
betwene Lodz and Lowicz, and which
came down diagonally from Thorn.
were delivered with great force, but,
according to the Russian account. were
repulsed with heavy losses to the In
vaders.

That the Germans atta-hed great
Importance to the success Of their at
tack here IL shown by the fact that
during the two days they faced the

The other column which has suffered
is that composed OF German and Aus
trian troops which has been trying to
Eoutflank the Russian left south OF
sCracow. In this case 1t was the Rus
slams who assumed the offensive. and
they claim that after tenacious re-
sistance they defeated the Germans,
taking several guns and 1000 pris-
oners. ~
OF the German column operating in
the region of Pietrkow and that ad-
vancing from Czenstochowa, there is
no news except the Russian statement
that "on other parts of thief ront there
have been no substantial changes,
German Campaign in Balance.
A check or repulse of any one of the
columns, however. in the opinion Of
military critics, must affect the whole
German plan, which was a formidable
conversion movement that had for ity
objectives the capture of Warsaw and
the relief Of Cracow. For this purpose
large reinforcements were sent from
the west and operations were pushed
with great resolution against deter
mined opposition. It will probably take
some days to determine, however.
whether the checks have upset this
plan.
The Germans attach the utmost inn
portance. 1t is said. to securing a de-
Ecisive. result in the east before the
Russians are able to make their num-
bers, which military men believe must
already be superior, so overwhelming
that the better means of TRANSPORTATION
