FIFTY OF FORMIDABLE CREW
SAFE AFTER BATTLING GALE
Men Reach Shore After Twenty Heursaat
Sea in Open Gutter-Brings Total "
Survivors to 2O1.

LONDON, January 2.-Another fifty
men from the British battleship For
midable, lost in the English channel
Friday, have reached safety, after rid
ing out a fierce gale for twenty hours
in an open cutter. They make total
of POI survivors of a crew of $50.
The latest survivors landed at Lyme
Regis, on the Dorset coast. late last
night All were in a state of eXhaus-
ton after their terrible experience.
They declare that there is little hope
for any other survivors. as the tremen-
dous sea which was running at the
time would make it impossible for men
to live long enough to be picked up by
passing vessels. They say many OF
those clinging to the wreckage un-
doubtedly were killed when the second
explosion occurred.
The admiralty has not issued any
statement in reference to the cause of
the disaster or where it occurred.
Boats Are Swamped.
Albert Edward Cooper, master at
arms, one of the survivors landed at
Lyme-Regis, said the explosion occur
red between 1870 and 2:S0 o'clock in
the morning. When he reached the
deck the ship had begun to settle on
the starboard side. Boats were launch
ed and remained near the ship to pick
up survivors, but some of the boats.
which stood off about twenty yards,
were swamped by wreckage.
The men were all scantily clad and
suffered terribly from the cold during
the twenty hours occupied in reaching
shore.
Some died during the day and were
passed overheard. Upon the arrival of
the cutter at Lyme Regis at II o'clock
last night SIX more were dead in the
bottom of the boat.

and Rawka, in Poland, but seemingly
the Germans are no nearer Warsaw
than they were a week ago. They
have commenced offensive operations
in the direction of Kierce. one of the
larger towns of southern Poland, which
doubtless has for it's object the hold
ing up of the Russian advance through
Galicia on Cracow.
Another attempt on the part of the
6aopmans to advance from Mlawa, to
divert the Russian threat to outflank
their center by crossing the lower Wis
tula, northwest of Warsaw, has been
checked by the Russians.
Battle Is Stationary.
-POSEN, Germany, January 1, via Ber-
lin and The Hague to London January 3.
1901 a.m.-The battle is now stationary
at many parts of the long front in
Poland. The rapid movements of the
army forward and backward, with ka-
leidoscopic changes in the situation
which hitherto have characterized the
warfare in the east. have given place,
for the time being at least. to struggle
along heavy intrenched line of field
Notifications resembling those in
France.
The German and Austrian allies are
in close contact with the army of
Grand Duke Nicholas. but they are en-
gagged in sapping instead of maneuver-
ing their way forward During the

the operations were marked by ad-
vances of from ten to twelve miles in
few places. but in general the in
fantry is fighting its way foot by foot
with the aid of artillery support
In these operations the artillery and
mine -throwers are trumps. instead of
soldiers legs. The mine throwers are
particularly effective. Although the
heavy artillery is handicapped by
weather conditions and the short days,
which make observations and the di-
rection of the fire possible only for
short periods. the mine throwers are
busy day and night hurling projectiles

During the comparatively short time

wobbling through the air along an
erratic parabola, the sight is most inn
pressive. The projectile can be plainly
followed with the eye, and the tension
upon the men in the trenches as the
bomb comes nearer and nearer is be-
yond all comparison to the effect
caused by heavy artillery shells which
are unseen until the explosion throws

Sweep Austrians South.
PETROGRAD, January 2.-The Rus
slams continue to sweep the Austrians
westward along the southern Gaitcian
railway toward Grybow and Neu San
deo and out of the northern foothills
of the Carpathians. The Muscovites in
their. new campaign against Hungary
are advancing in four columns across
the mountains. This, 1T is said, VIII

a regular invasion.
Further east the Russians are
marching across Bukowina, not far
north of the Roumanian frontier. to-
ward Pennsylvania. 1t is considered
likely Roumanian action will be has
tened by this step.
Invasion of Hungary.
VIENNA, January 2.-There is now
no doubt that the main Russian attack
is being directed against Hungary in
stead of Germany or western Galicia.
Official dispatches from the front say
that the Russians in enormous force
have hacked their way through the
passes of the Carpathians, advancing
in four columns from Nysykow, Skyh
Turka and Gorllce.
The vanguard of the invaders is the
crack Sth Russian Corps and behlnd IL

Polish front.
There is much nervousness botn mere

Real Invasion Admitted.
The officials are now convinced that
unlike the previous raiding expeditions

of Hungary. Checked by Cen Won
Hindenburg in the north and with
Warsaw threatened it is believed here
that the Russian commander-ln-c chief
has undertaken the present move IN
the expectation that it will force Ger

from Poland to aid the Austro- Hun-
aariap forces in withstanding the pres
ent assault.

territory are reaching Budapest. The

ENGLAND WILL REFUSE
TO RELINQUISH RIGHTS

LONDON, January 3, 2:15 a.m.-
The Press Association, in a para
graph declaring that the British
reply to the American note has
not yet been delivered or drawn
up, says:
ihe government will not be
nctunted by diplomatic constd-
eraffOns alone, but will be guild
ed largely by naval and military
expert opinion, and there Is not
the remOtest question OF relin-
gushing the right which would
initiate against the interests Of
the allies to the advantage of the
enemy. The most that can he
expected Is that every care will
be taken - insure that that
right be exercised with the
maximum amount of care and
the minimum Of hardship and
friction"
The Press Association adds that
although the American ambas-
sador, Mr.. Page, called at the
foreign Office Saturday after
noon. his visit was not prompted
by any expectation of the de-
livery of the reply. The whole

Hungarian troops fight. he said, under

Count Tisza's recent visit to the Ger

of any difficulties whatsoever, but was
for a discussion of present measures as
well as of future political problems aris-
ing from the war.

Gen. Won Blune, retired German
army officer, discussing the military stu
d ton in the east, remarked that it IS
impossible as yet to estimate the scope
of Field Marshal Won Hindenburgs sue
cesses, but that it appears certain the
Russian offensive has failed. Russia still
has plenty of men, he says. but she must
be short of everything else needed for
warfare.

Switzerland states that of all the bel
ligerents Germany and Great Britain are
the only countries able to raise reserves.
and that the German reserves, of course,
are better organized and better trained

PARIS. January 2.-The general COM
manding the 18th German Army Corps
has, according to the Paris Temps, is
sued the following notice to his troops:
"Bulletproof armor of which various
models have been placed on sale and
actively advertised does not give at all
the protection promised. On the con-
trary. upon exposure to fire it is shown
that the armor, instead of protecting,
becomes itself the cause of grave
wounds to those wearing it. Besides,
the pieces of armor interfere with
freedom of movement and make the
soldiers work more difficult 1t is nee
essary to issue this caution against
worthless purchases.

Smoke Consumer
Under City Boiler
Proves Efficiency

During the last week the installation
of the smoke consuming furnaces at the
city hall was completed by Dan Whitney
who had the contract for this work In
stallation includes three Herbert down.
draft water-tube smoke consumers, for
which the contract price is $1,000 each.
The first boiler of the new device was
fired on February 8 and tests showed
that the building could be heated and
the elevators and pumps operated with
the one boiler.
Speaking of the result, Hollis NJ. John
son, president of the Omaha Sanitary
Supply company, which has the agency.
says:
This efficiency is obtained from the
large additional heating surface in these
furnaces. While other appliances burn
the smoke none that burn the smoke
