COLLISION BADLY DAMAGES CRUISER
 OF FRENCH NAVY

New York. Oct. 2s-oncers Of the Spanish steamer Telesfora which ar rived here today from Buenos Ayres, reported that the steamer was in col 13sion with the French cruiser Des Cartes in the harbor of %Castries, St Lucia, on Oct. 5. The cruiser was badly injured, Naccording to the Teles- fora's officers and had to be taken to Martinique for Eepairs.
 The collision occurred as the TeIes- fora was entering the harber, her off, cers said. They did not see the Des- cartes till the cruiser was a short dis tance dead ahead. Immediately the steamers engines were reversed and she let drop her anchor. Her mo- 1nerlturn, however, was too great and she crashed at high speed full into the war vessel. A boat was lowered from the cruiser and two of her officers boarded the steamer They were very angry; the Telesfora's captain feared they would beat him.
 After 8 long and bitter wrangIe the officers went away andi the Telesfora was made to give bond to mako good the cruisers repairs before the steamer was permitted to continue on her trip to Boston and New York
 Injuries to the steamer were found to be insignificant, her officers said but the cruiser was badly hurt and was leaking. She was taken to Mar unique. The Telesfora is of approxi- marteIy 2,700 toms.

Paris, Oct 23-The struggle on the heightened line extending into Belgium now called the battle of Flanders, gave rise to an argument along the coast as near as possible to the birthplace of Jules Verne. in which aircraft and submarines participated, realizing for the first time in the same encounter the dreams of the great Frenchman. The British monitors off shore did great execution in the German tren- ehes, among those reported killed be- ing General von Tripp, and his staff. While the allies air men cleverly di- rected the aim of the marine guns the German submarines lying in wait at tackled the monitors, but without re- suit because the latter were so far inshore.
 Here again the critics remark that the attempt of the Germans to turn the allies left has been defeated. The gains made b the allies on the road to Metz, 1t is thought, must draw the attention of the Germans seriously to a quarter where they are n1enaced not only from the direction of Verdunn but by the continued successes of the French on the eastern slope of the Vosges.

RUSSIAN CAVALRY DEFEATS GERMANS

London, oct. 2s-' The German ad- vance in Poland hasabeen transformed into a nasty and in some parts dis orderly retreat says the Petrograd correspondent of the Daily Mall. This retreat was primarily caused by Russian cavalry force from Novoe Georgiewslx, which crossed the Vistula and turned tre eneny's left flank.
 t'Ehe retreat of@tEe Germans left wing will force their army operating around Kozienica and Ivangorod to re- treat also as well as the army in the vicinity Of sandomir and to the south ward. Thus the ambitious plan to capture Warsaw and possess both banks of the Vistu1a. during the win ter campaign has been completely wrecked.
