ing the last of the Austrian troops
in the district into the province OF
Bukowina yesterday, according to
the news that was received here to-
day The Russians also took Stanis-
lau and Kolomea, two important

The recapture of Przasnysz by the
Russians has put an end to the Of
fensive movement of the Germans
in Poland, and they are now acting
upon the defensive there and in
East Prussia, which the Russians
are again invading.
General Won Hindenberg made an
attempt to weaken the Russian cen
ter by attacking the right and left
wings, thus attempting to draw
troops to those points, but this at
tempt was defeated by the strategy
of the Russians Instead of rush
two wings, the Russians withdrew
the troops from the wings in East
Prussia and in Austria, thus defeat
ing the plans Of the Germans.
The Russians are gaining grounc
in Poland. They have advanced II
the center toward Lodz and Pietr
kow An attempt was made by the
Germans to attack the defenses o
Warsaw from the north, but thii
was checked in the start. The Ger
man infantry has been driven bacl
across the Nieman river.
In Austria, the Russians are grad
ually regaining possession OF thu
Carpathian mountains. The Hun
garian side of the mountains, from
the Sandoc pass to the Sanok pass

OFFICIAL NOTICE.

WASHINGTON, d. c., FEB. Is
1t was announced today Ly the de
partment OF state that the United
States has not yet received any oil
ficial notice that blockade OF Ger
many and Austria is contemplated
by the allied nations. However
frUm what be learned today
sucn procedure has been expected
the matter has been discussed in
formally by the cabinet.
1t is generally conceded in Of
ficial circles here that the allies have
d perfect right to establish the
blockade suggested but according
to international agreement such q
blockade cannot be established un
til after the world has been given
official notice of at least Is days in
advance.
The fact that the allies are plan
ming to establish a blockade makes
it probable that the United States
will establish an embargo on all eX
portation of supplies to the warrine
nations, and will deal only with the
neutral countries of Europe.
Another thing that will tend tC
promote such an embargo is the way
the shipment of foodstuffs to the
warning nations is advancing the

PROGRAM FOR NEW FLEET
OF BATTLE CRUISERS.

Washington, d. G.. OCT. 11.--A new
American feet Of dreadnaughts, battle
cruisers. submarines and other neces-
sAry auxtliaries Is contemplated by
Secretary Daniels.

posed, at the end of which time from
fifteen to twenty dreadnaughts and
battle cruisers, nearly one hundred
submarines, about seventy destroyers
and several scout cruisers and a pro-
portionate number of auxiliaries would
be added to the present fleet. With
the seventy submarines already built
and building, the total undersea craft
would total about ITO In Ave years.
The entire program for the first
year, which would include provision
for at least 5000 additional men for
the ships, would, it is estimated, cost
approximately $24S,O00,0O0, or about
800, 900, 900 increase over last year.
The completed program probably
will be laid before President Wilson
within few days by Secretary DAN
iels. They are agreed that it will be

FACTION IN THE CABINET WANTS
A DEFINITE ANSWER ON
RECRUIT PROBLEM.

London, Oct. 13.-The parliamentary
correspondent Of the Daily News as
serts thai the conscriptionist mem
bers of the cabinet, headed by Win
ston Spencer Churchill and Earl Cur
zon, will make 8 renewed attempt at
today's cabinet meeting to force the
issue and obtain definite ruling for
or against conscription.
The conscriptionist members be-
lieve, the News continues, that Earl
Kitchener is more inclined to their
view than he was month ago, and
they also believe that If the British
government should announce adoption
of conscription at the present Juncture,
when a new war is beginning In the
Balkans, 1t would have a striking ef-
feet on the military situation.
Several liberal members of parl1a-
ment are urging the government to ap-
point committee to investigate the
circumstances under which the Oar

the manner in which 1t has been con-
Quoted. 1t is considered doubtful that
the government will consent.

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 13.-Send-
ing of radiograms by vessels at sea
without revealing the approximate To-
cation of the ship dlspatching the
message-a problem which has con-
fronted naval strategists since the
discovery of wireless communication
virtually has been accomplished. Ex-
periments of this order, made by the
enemy" divisions Of the Atlantic fleet
during the recent war game, were said
by naval officials today to have been
highly satisfactory.
During the time the two forces were
engaged in the maneuvers, one NOV
ing to attack the coast and the other
to defend 1t, the vessels were In con-
slant communication with the navy
yards and supply stations ashore. but
neither force was able to determine
the location OF the other by use Of
the wireless. The messages were dis
suised by means known only to the
navy department, and for the first
time in the history Of the war game
they gave the vessels in
tercepting them no indication as to
where they came from or what force OF
wave length had been used In trans
mission.

HEALTH Is BAD.

Paris, Oct. 13.-Foreign Minister
Delcasse resigned today. His resigna-
ticn was accepted.
Premier Viviani announced the res
ignation Of M. Delcasse and its accep-
tance. at a meeting of the cabinet to-

which led to the formation of the
Arglo-French entente cordiale. He
also credited with an effective inter-
est in settlement of differences be-
tween Russia and Great Britain, max
Ing possible the formation of the

AS foreign minister In former

porters, who constitute majority OF
the chamber, and informed them that
in view of the present circumstances
it would be advisable to adopt q toler-

might be grave, and to avoid giving q

question of Greece being called on to
give her support under the terms OF
the treaty OF alliance, the Greek gov
ernment replied that the present ag-
gressive action of Bulgaria had not a
purely Balkan character and therefore
did not come within the provisions of
the Greco-Serbian treaty.

Mr.. Kendall denounced in bitter terms

Americans are the worlds champions
OF 1915. The Red Sox defeated the
Philadelphia Nationals by a score OF
5 to today in a game which was nip
and tuck until the finish. Twice Phil.
adelphia took the lead only to be tied
and Harry Hooper finally clinched it
for the American league champions by
smashing home run into the right
center stands. 1t was Hooper's big
black bludgeon that put the Red Sox
across winners, the California boy
smashing out two home runs during
sAhe game. Duffy Lewis was another
Ntfero for Boston, his home run clout
in the eighth inning sending in a run
ahead Of him and tying the score when
1t looked like a Philadelphia victory.
Philadelphia. Oct. 13.-The Phila-
delphia National baseball team and
the Boston Americans were given
an enthusiastic reception on their ar
rival here today from Boston Fol-
lowers Of the Phillies still were op-
tirnistic in spite of the three defeats
suffered by their favorites, while the
Royal Rooters and other Boston fans
were jubilant in anticipation of vic
tory today which would clinch the
premier title for the Red Sox.
Weather today was all that could
be desired, both from the standpoint
Of the player and spectator. National
league park, the playing field, was in
first class condition, no rain having
fallen for nearly week
The fact that Boston has won three
OF the four games played did not ap-
pear to decrease the interest in to-
days contest and the demand for
tickets equaled If it did not surpass
that for the opening game last Friday.

a+ate and Mayor Blankenburg the city
atsToday's contest. The governor has
just returned from an automobile
tour Of Pennsylvania Like President
Wilson and Mayor Blankenburg, he
is an enthusiastic follower of the
game.
There was very little Philadelphia
money in sight here, either on today's
game or the final result of the series.
Some bets were placed however, at
odds Of 8 to 1 that Boston would take
the series and to and even money
that they would win today.
AS the Boston club took the field for
practice, Governor Brumbaugh with
his party entered the gubernatorial
box near the Boston players bench.
The governor was greeted by former
Governor Tener, now the president of
the National league, and while the
two shook hands, the crowd cheered.
