Allied Warships Resume
Gallipoli BOmbardmept

London, Dec. ALLIED warships
have again resumed activity along the
Gallipoli coast, according to CONSTANT
nople reports, which relate heavy bonn
bardments near Anafarta, at Arr Bur-
nu and at Seddul-Bahr. The Turks as
sert that all were unsuccessful.
The British apparently are rlsking
first line battleships in the engage
ments with the land batteries, practl-
callv the whole of the bombardment,
according to the Turks, being carried
out by cruisers with torpedo boats ana
monitors.
The Turks also renew the charges
that the British are using hospital
ships for the transport of troops.
TURKISH OFFICIAL.
The official statement issued by the
Turkish War Office is as follows:
On the Dardanelles front there
have been artillery bombardments
near Anafarta by enemy cruisers;
near Ari Burnu by a torpedo boat and
monitor, and near Seddul-Bahr by a
monitor and an armored cruiser. The
bombardments were unsuccessful.
Near Seddul-Bahr, on the right
wing. during a vigorous bomb en-
counter, the enemy fired a great num-
Der of shells against our centre and
our left wing.
In order to protect their transport
ships conveying soldiers the British
used the Red Cross flag at night This
practice proves the impotence of the
enemy and his degree of respect for
the most elementary Of humani-
tartan laws.

CARS STYR VICTORY
DENIED BY BERLIN
Says Report of Austrian Flight
Is JJutrue-Lines Deadlocked.

London, Dec. 4.--The deadlock along
the East front continues, and both
Petrograd and Berlin say that from
Riga to the Pripet there has been prac-
tically no change. Berlin, however,
takes occasion to contradict the Rus
sian report that the Austrians were
put to fight above Czartorysk, on the
Styr.
The Russians admit having been
driven out Of their positions on the
left bank Of the river, but assert that
toward evening they regained the lost.
ground and threw the Austrians into
flight.
The Russian War Office to-day gave
out tn following statement:
The situation is unchanged from
the Gulf of Riga to the Pripet.
On the night of the I'd the enemy,
after a heavy artillery bombardment,
launched an attack upon the railway
station at old Podtcherevshi, on the
left bank of the Styr, southwest Of
Rafalovks. and our forceS at first
were repulsed, but regained toward
evening the lost position. Our ar
tillery by a concentrated fire upon
the village of Semki, on the left bank
of the Styr above Czartorysk, threw
causing them serious losses.
GERMAN OFFICIAL.
Berlin gave out the following state
ment:
There have been no special incl
dents. The Russian official state
ment OF November 20, corrected in
part in the German report of Deem
Der 2, is not in keeping with the
truth in still other particulars. Dur
ing a Russian surprise attack on
Newell, 10 the southwest of Pinsk,
which was only feasible under the
guidance of local leaders we'll ac-
ouainted with the marshy, wooded
territory, division commander fell
into the hands of the enemy. No
other officers are missing. The state
ment that German or Austro-H Hun
garian troops were forced TO retreat
near Koslince and Czartorysk is un-
true.

TWO NEW YORK MEN NAMED
Hint They Were Pro-Germans with
False Ammunition Contracts.

London, Dec. 3.-George Frederick
Priestley was sentenced in Bow Street
Police Court to-day to four months in
prison for dealing in war materials
without a permit. Priestley's opera
tons were brought to light by the CEN
sor. who stopped two letters addressed
to men in New York named Page and
Scheel. The letters contained an out
line Of an agreement with Seheel for
the sale of 100000 Mauser rifles.
IL was stated on authority of the
War Office that German agents in the
United States were putting forward
persons there as in position to supply
munitions who we're unable, so that II
an Allied government made a contract
ii would find itself without the NUM-
tions contracted for at the time for de-
livery.
1t was brought out that one of the
men in New York to whom Priestley
was alleged to have addressed a letter
was John 5. Scheel. Page, the other
man. is described as a Brooklyn attor-
ney.
