TN the last stages of the retreat

twenty-five miles daily. Their column
which fell back on Kalisz lost $4,000
men. Of whom 10000 were killed.
"a quantity of guns are being

the latter place evidently is to be-
abandoned to the Austrian garrison.
THE German Eastern army will con.
duct the home defense from two bases.
They are organizing their northern

railways to maintain communications
with their East Prussian army. The
new southern base is Oppein, on the

Superdreadnought
AudaCious Sunk.
MOST OF The CREW
SAVED BY OLYMPIC
White Star Liner Ten Miles Dis.
tant When Help Is Asked.

New York, Nov. 16.-Rumors of dis
aster to the British superdreadnought
Audacious, which have persisted eve
since the White Star liner Olympic,
diverted from it's course, arrived at
Tough Swilly on Oct. 29, are confirm
ed in mail advices received from a
point in Ireland.
After a career of less than two
years, the Audacious, of the King
George V. ciass-third in tonnage and
armament of his majesty's warships-
lies at the bottom Of the ocean off the
north coast Of Ireland. 1t was hit by
a torpedo or disabled by a mine just
before 9 a. m. on Oct. q. With the
possible exception of one or two men
the whole crew of 800 officers and
men was rescued by small boats from
the Olympic.
The rescue was made in a rough
sea through brilliant and daring sea-
manship on the part of the White Star
crew.
The battleship's cry for assistance
was caught by the wireless operator
of the Olympic, only about ten miles
distant. The steamer rushed forward
at full speed, while its crew made
ready for their work. Volunteers were
called for and double the number nee
essary to man the lifeboats respond
ed. Before noon all but 100 of the
Audacious' men had been transferred.
Decided List at Stern.
BY that time the battleship had a
decided list at the stern, where just
below the water line it had received
its wound. Two Of its engines were
nnharmed, but the one aft was put
out Of commission.
After taking off all the officers and
crew who would leave the ship Cap
tain Haddock of the Olympic turned
his attention to an attempt to save
the w%arship. A cable was given it,
but it snapped as it frightened.
Meanwhile the %bulkheads began to
give way and it was soon apparent
that it would be impossible to tow
the ship or keep her aflOat. The cruis.
er Liverpool and several other war
ships. which had come up, stood by.
Late in the afternoon it was decided
to abandon the AudaciOus and tn Off,
crs and men who had remained aboard
reluctantly left it.
The lOtilla of rCscue ships cOntin
ned to stand by, however, until 9 p M,
when a terrific explosion occurred on
board and the Audaci0us plunged stern
first and in a moment disappeared.
The explosion is supposed to have
been caused by shells set loose by
the listing Of the %battleship.
The Audacious met its fate twenty
five miles off the Irish coast, which the
Olympic was skirting. :
