GEAR REPELS NEW
GERMAN 0FFENSE
IN EAST PRUSSIA
Foe Driven Several Miles
West in Fierce Fight-At-
tacks West of Warsaw
Checked.
PETRoGRAD, Jan. q.

GhlINOTEAIt Jtlls ~
German forces in East Prussia took the
offensive on Sunday and gained some
slight advantage In the region of Gum
binnen, but the Russians made a number
of counter attacks on Tuesday and re-
gained virtually all the lost ground
Fighting was severe yesterday about
Pilllkillen northeast of Gumblnnen The
Germans were driven several miles west
of that town, according to today's official
statement, Hard lighting is still in pro-
gress at the several points within East
Prussia where the Gear has a pied-a-
terre.
According to the statement, the Austro-
German forces in Galicia have resumed
their attacks upon the Russians there en-
ergetically, but with slight success, on
the front through Jaslowa, Uzsok, Low
ereeko and Maldonk an energetic AUS
trian offensive has been repulsed. The
Russians captured 300 men and three ofti
GERS In one engagement.
On the right bank of the Lower Vistula,
IN northern Poland, only skirmlshes and
artillery duels are taking place.
West OF Warsaw, on the left bank of
the Vistula, the Germans are again
showing great activity. The War Office
states that the Germans made sharp at
taoks In the region of Borjimow and

SUBMARINE ATTACK
DAMAGED BEATTY'S
SHIPS, IS REPORT
Torpedoes Fired by German
Undersea Craft in Battle
Cause of Injuries to Lion
and Meteor.
LONDON, Jan. q.

LONDON, Jan. q.
Official admission by the Admiralty that
the British battle cruiser Lion, the flag
ship OF Vice Admiral Sir David Beatty,
had been badly damaged in the North
Sea battle with the Germans on Sunday,
as we'll as the torpedoboat destroyer Me-
teor, was followed today by reports that
the battle cruiser had been struck by
torpedoes fired from a German submarine
Belief was also expressed that the Me-
teor, which had to be towed into port
was disabled by a torpedo launched from
a submarine, which was cooperating with
the underwater craft which attacked the
Lion.
1t Is known that Vice Admiral Beatty
transferred his flag to the Princess Royal
after the Lion had been holed beneath
the water line and some of her forward
compartments had been flooded. When
the Lion reached port in tow of the
cruiser Indomitable, she was in a sinking
condition. Other ships of Vice Admiral
Beattys squadron had narrow escapes
from mines dropped by the German mem
of-war.
The work of repairing the Lion and
Meteor will be commenced at once.
The Lion bore the brunt of the fighting
on the British side, II members of her
crew DelnB WOUNDED. lne heaviest loss
OF life on the British side occurred on
the battle cruiser Tiger, nine men and
three officers being killed in this ship.
The British lost IA men in killed and 29
wounded.
High praise is given to the bravery of
the crew of the German battle cruiser
Bluecher, which was sunk From the first
1t was seen that the BlueCher because of
the superior speed of the English ships,
was doomed. However, her crew con-
tinued to man the guns to the last, and
the ship went down with colors flying.
Damage inflicted to the Lion is believed
to have given rise to the German report
that one of the British warships had been
sunk.
The transfer of Vice Admiral Beatty to
the Princess Royal toward the close of
the engagement was accompanied by an
interesting incident. When the British
commander climbed upon the deck he
found the rail lined with grlmy, half
naked stol5ers and bluejackets, whose
faces were streaked with powder. These
men set up a cheer and shouted, well
done, David"

GERMAN EMPEROR
PARDONS MANY AS
GIFT ON BIRTHDAY
Kaiser Wilhelm Is Sc
Years Old Today, the
Most Talked of Ruler in
Europe. j"

BERLIN, Jan. 27--In commemoration
today granted general amnesty TO hun
dreds of offenders against military and
disciplinary rules since the outbreak of
the war.
Emperor William II has the distinction
today, as he celebrates his birthday, of
being the central figure in the war.
This man of whom every one Is talking
was born Oh January q, 1859. His father
was Frederick III; his mother. the
Princess Victoria of Great Britain. When
his father died on June 10, 1888, after
n short reign, the present Emperor sue
ceeded to the throne. He married
Princess Victoria of Schleswig Holstein
who is three months older than he on
February 27, 1881. They have seven chill
dren, six princes and one princess.
william II is u mnny-sdod man. with
a capacity for hard work and long hours
combined with a mind quick to grasp es-
sentlals he would have succeeded in al
most any business or profession. AS an
emperor It Is for the future historian
to say whether he Is a success or
failure. Until the war broke out, at
least, he was thoroughly in love with
HiS NOih uilu dlOSt at U u ClOCh III llle
morning in order to do as much as pos
slble. I'VE Hohenzollerns know nothing
about dressing gowns" is a saying of
kisi
He is a prodigious reader and on his
table may be found American, British
and French magazines and newspapers
as well as German. His favorite books
are those dealing with history and
economics. For recreation he reads Latin
and Greek poetry, Horace and Homer
being his favorites
1t is in the role of the military man
that William IL will be remembered
longest, and his birthday today sees him
engaged in a struggle which is the cli-
max of that training which began with
his boyhood days when he was given a
miniature frigate, the Royal Luise, with
which he might play. Since that time
he has reviewed troops, supervised ma
neuvres, studied tactics and encouraged
military and naval efficiency on the
ground that the best preparation for
peace is to prepare for war. His many
portraits show him almost invariably in
uniform.
