LEADING WAR EVENTS.

The leading events in the war OF
ten nations during the past two
weeks have been the sudden recovery
of the Germans from great defeat
at the hands of the Russians in Po-
land. and a fierce counter attack
that put the city Of LODI again in
German hands; the destruction OF
three German Warships in the south
Atlantic Ocean near the Falkland
Islands by British squadron, and the
defeat of a Turkish army in Persia
by British East Indian troops.
The German ships sent to the
bottom We're the Scharnhorst, Gnei-
senau and Leipzig, while two others,
the Dresden and Nurnberg, fled to
escape like fate and are being pur-
sued. This was the same German
fleet that sunk the British ships
Goodhope and Monmouth off the coast
of Chile, Nov. i, and the Britons
have taken effective revenge for the
earlier Teuton victory. The British
commander in the action off Falk-
land Islands was Vice Admiral Sir
Frederick Sturdee, chief of the war
staff, while the German commander
in both engagements was Admiral
Count Won Spree, who doubtless went
down with his, flagship, the scharn-
horst.
There is comparative lull in the
fighting on the western war front in
Europe and the rival centres of off
cial news are contended to send out
from day to day the usual claims of
certain" gains and successes which
are of course largely inconsistent
with each other and in many in
stances very uncertain indeed
Thus it is impossible to form any
definite idea as to the status and
progress of the conflicts between the
Russians and Austrians, the Rus
slams and Turks, or the Austrians
and Servians.
The Austrians have occupied Bel
grade, hailing its capture as a great
event, whereas the Servians. minimize
the loss and claim that the city
was evacuated without loss as
strategical movement. The Russians
make like claim as to the Ger
man occupation of LODI, declaring
that the Russian army retired from
the city without losing a man.
The Sevians appear to have check
ed the progress of the Austrian
forces invading Seryia, but the small
er nation is in peril of being over
whelmed in this unequal contest I'M
less aid reaches her soon.

The only actual fighting in Mex

-.
The only actual fighting in Mexi-
co appears to be opposite Naco,
Arizona. where five persons have
oeen killed and some fifty wounded
on the American side of the inter
national boundary by shots fired
across the border. AS result of
the consideration of the situation by
President Wilson and his cabinet,
three batteries of artillery have been
sent to Naeo and Gen. Tasker n.
Bliss placed in command Of the post
with orders to stop the practice on
the part of Mexican belligerents of
shooting into United States terri
tory. If there is no mistake about
the tenor Of these orders, it is
safe to say the ross-firing complain
ed of will quickly cease.
