Germans Left Great
Stores in Fort VauX

Fort Vaux, on the Verdun front, Nov.
s.-Around Fort Vaux, the most ad
vsnced fortified point of the French
lines at Verdun, shells were falling
throughout the day when the CORE
spondent visited the stronghold. With
in the garrison the French were en-
gagged in restoring the fort to its orig
inal condition and strength.
Lieutenant dot related to the cor
respondent how he had entered the
works when they were still supposed
to be occupied by the Germans. He
approached a machine gun embrasure
under cover 81 darkness and inserted
his head. He saw nobody, and pro-
ceeded to search further. He then
found that the entire garrison had de-
parted. The French were able TO oc-
cupy the fort without shot.
A programme drafted by the German
commander, Won Engelbrechten, dated
October 81, for strengthening the posi-
ton so as to permit the Germans to
prepare for further attack on Yer
dun was discovered. The details COM
prised the erection Of bsrricades in the

BOTH SIDES FAIL
IN SQMME BLOWS
Germans Beaten Back
from Sailly-Saillisel in
Hand-to-Hand Fight

London, Nov. s.-Several attempts by
both the Allies and the Germans to
break through each others lines to-day
ended In failure. Near Sailly-Saillisel
and south of Pressoire. in the Chaulnes
sector, the French cleared few posi-
lions.
The British and French attempted
assaults between lie Sars and Bouchav-
esnes, while the Germans tried an
attack at Sailly-Saillisel. All the
attacks broke down under the fire OF
the opposing batteries, except at Sally
Saillisel, where the Germans were
thrown back after brief hand-to-hand
struggle.
On the Verdun front the Germans
kept up a violent bombardment OF the
French positions in the Douaumont sec
tor. The Crown Prince, it is believed
intends to make a desperate effort soon
to retake some of the position on this
front.

u. S. to Demand More
Details in Arabia Case

Washington, Nov. 9.-The German
and Austro-H Hungarian governments
will be requested TO furnish details 70
the State Department regarding the
sinking Of the Peninsular q Oriental
liner Arabia. II was stated to-day. No
information has been received yet as
TO whether the steamer was torpedoed
by a German or an Austrian subma-
rine.
The seriousness of the case in the
ewes Of officials was increased to-day
with the receipt of information from
Vice-Consul Westacdtt, at London, that
the Arabia was sunk without warning.
That no lives we're lost among the pas
seneers. who included two or. more
Americans, according TO unofnciai re-
norts. would not mitigate the serious
ness Of the case, 1t was SAID, II tne
submarine had failed 10 respect the
pledges made by Germany.
Officials also declared that the case
would not be affected by the presence
of defensive arms on the vessel. Ger
many's pledge TO the American govern,
ment in the Sussex case rs interpreted
as covering all classes OF merchant
ships, armed or unarmed. Inc r9iing
Of the State Department on March 20
last. defining the right Of merchant
vessels to carry armament, IS declared
10 he final as far as the United States
government Is concerned. >,
The Arabia case, from present indi-
cations. seems TO resemble that or the
Persia, another P. & o. liner, sunk
either by mine or by a submarine
without warning. Passengers declared
thew saw distinctly the wake OF g tor
pedo, but Germany, Austria and Turkey
denied that any of their submarines
had attacked the vessel. In view OF
their denials, the State Department was
unable TO proceed with the case.

by thDir 10 Inc AfiNNA'Hi
London, Nov. Six or more German
submarines broke through the British
blockade and ring Of defences under
cover of the recent raid by German
warships and have been operating ex-
tensively of the southern coast OF
France.
This information came to The Trib-
une to-day from reliable sources. The
raid carried out by enemy warships on
the shipping route between the Thames
and Holland, on November l, this re-
port says, was a Blind TO get half
dozen or more U-boats through the
Channel. That il succeeded is evidenced
by the unusual activity of submarines
in these waters during the last few
days. Their roll Of victims this week
has been exceptionally high.
The British naval authorities are
making strenuous efforts to trap some
Of the raiders, It is said. The Channel
patrol has been augmented, and watch
is being kept night and day for any
sign of the submarines.
The few critics who share knowledge
Of the presence of the enemy submersi-
bles express the opinion that by now
most of them must have escaped ana

sinking OF vessels in this region, how

ing In a common cause. that for the

identical and that victory securing
those interests is, in our judgment, the
only condition of a lasting peace
Dooms Turkey in Europe
Mr.. Asquith began his speech with q
reference to Turkey, which country he
described as e subservient agent Of
German interests and ambition, as was
instanced, he said, by the fact that by
lifting a finger Germany might have ar
rested the Armenian horrors, but in
stead looked on unmoved and possibly
even complacent
THAT" said the Premier, "is a sig
nificant sample of what a continuance
Of the rule of Germanic Turkey in Eu-
rope will mean"
Mr., Asquith said he would refrain
from any detailed review of the naval
and military situation. He dwelt, how
ever, on the continued Entente Allied
successes and said the British navy
was ready, and more than ready, when
ever opportunity was offered to it.
With regard to the Greek situation
Mr. Asquith said he wished he could
speak with as much confidence as hope.
The Entente Allies went to Salonica
as friends Of both Greece and Serbia
he said.
Declares for yenizelos
Their sole desire was TO prevent
Greece from becoming enmeshed in the
Germanic net and to save her from
internal strife. Whatever apparently
drastic measures had been taken were
dictated solely by the necessity of pre-
venting AthenSIrom becoming the cen
ire Of German propaganda and Ill
trigue. 80.
Declaring that the Entente Allies
were in hearty sympathy with Flip
therios Venizelos, former Premier, Mr
Asuuith asked how Greece could pos
sibly stand aloof from a war for the
emancipation of smaller states. .,
Greece" Mr.. Asquith continued
"frst lit the torch of liberty IN Eu,
rope and withstood the thrush OF
Eastern barbarism and tyranny. May
Greece rekindle her lamp and show
herself worthy of her immortal past
Dealing with the general situation
Mr.. Asquith said:
Let there be no illusion about our
enemies. They are great organizers
and fine fighters in the field. They
are also. if not skilful, yet indefatig-
able workers in the sphere OF propa-
ganda, where they have double mo-
tive-to divide the Allies and capture
neutral opinion"
Germany Silent on Serbia
Mr.. Asquith said that hitherto no
German propaganda had ever sug-
gested that Germany was prepared 70
concede anything to the demand Of the
Allies for the reconstruction and inde
pendence Of Serbia.
Referring to the recent raid by Ger
man torpedo craft in the English
| Channel, First Lord Balfour said: III

/ Balfour said he would not assert
that such a raid could not be repeated
but that if it were the Germans wou'Cl
not be able TO get out Of the Channel
again without heavy losses.

submarines Of belligerent powers were
forbidden to traverse Norwegian wa

the latter instance they were directed
TO remain upon the surface and fly

marines we're also ordered to remain on
the surface and display their country's

This ordinance provoked strong feel
