LONDON, Nov. f2, $50 .. M
a critical stage In the battle in
West Flanders has been reached,
and the next few days, " not
hours, should produce something
more decisive than has yet oe-
Cured.
The Germans have continued 70
attack with all the forces at their
command the British and French
who hold the line between DIX
nude and Ypres, but with the ex-
eeption OF the capture OF Dixmude,
which occurred Tuesday, and
some little progress around Ypres.
they have not been able to make
any material advance.
The French official report, Is-
sued this afternoon, says that all
the attacks have been repuIsed.
The Germans are no longer utIIix-
ing green troops In this reolon.
but have brought up the pick OF
their army, including some Prus-
sian guards, who attempted an
offensive movement against the
British, but without success.
Both sides express satisfaction
with the progress Of the battle.
Berlin says that the attacks Of the
allies have been repuIsed, and that
their own attack is making head
way; while In London and In
Paris, II Is felt that so Iona as the
allies can hold the line Of the canal
from Nieuport 20 Ypres their POSI-
tion Is a strong one.
In France, from the northwest
to the southeast, there have been
engagements Of lesser Importance,
In which, according TO the French
report. General Joffre's armies
have succeeded in gaining around
and strengthening their positions.
The Germans continue 70 destroy
bridges and railways In Belgium,
but with what object remains a
secret. u Is thought. however,
that they are making prepara-
tions to winter in that country.
and they are taking every step to
prevent their plans from becoming
known TO their enemies.

Troops Massing For
Armed Conflict.

WASHINGTON. Nov. u. -
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan have decided not TO fix a
date for the evacuation Of Vera
Cruz by the American troops until
Il 10 determined which faction can
dominate that section Of Mexico
sufficiently to carry out the guar

Cruz, and 10 believed to be loyal
to General carranza, who Is in
open conflict with the national
convention which declared EuIaIio
Gutierrez provisional president Of
Mexico.
The president is unwilling to
withdraw the troops until the
various guarantees asked for can
be enforced and there is no danger
that some other faction, on be-
coming dominant. will discIain
hitherto conducted with General
Carranza.
The Washington government
does not wish TO interfere in any
way In the tangled controversy
which has arisen between the va
rious military ehieftains, but ad-
Tninistration officials showed plain
" to-day their chaorin at the fact
that several generals who wrote
their names on the Mexican FLAG
recently, kissing Il as a pledge
that they would abide by the acts
o. the convention at Aouas Cali
entes, have now repudia iated their
oaths, refusing to support GEN.
eral Eufallo Gutirrez, selected as
provisional president.
The United States will continue
its custom OF dealing with each

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE
OF CAPTAIN AND CREW
OCCUPANTS OF COAL SHIP FORCED TO SPEND
FIFTY HOURS IN AN OPEN BOAT
BRITISH BARK BURNED AT SEA
Captain His Family and Crew Finally Picked up by
Vessel 300 Miles Off Los Angeles and Were
Landed at Astoria Today.

ASTORIA, Or, Jan. 8.-Drifting for
SO hours in an open boat on the ocean
800 miles off Los Angeles before be-
ing picked up by the German bark Eli
beck on January was the experience
of Captain T. H. Marsters, his wife
and two children and a crew of 16
men. after they had abandoned the
British bark Battle Abbey which was
burning fiercely as they left her.
Captain Thode, in charge Of the Eli
beck, and Captain Marsters came
ashore today here. Marsters and men,
bers of his family and the crew ap
peared none the worst for their ex-
perience. The Battle Abbey sailed
from Newcastle, Australia, October 18
with a cargo of coal for Vancouver. On
December 81 the survivors were COM
PEELED to abandon the vessel after the
cargo had been burning almost six
weeks
Captain Marsters stated today that
the vessel was smoking badly when
they had abandoned it owing to the
gas from the coal with which it was
loaded and 1t has probably blown up
before this time.
