Big Guns on All Fronts Opening WAY
for Rush of Infantry Reinforced
from East War Zone.
AIRPLANES WAGING
BATTLES
Russian Revolt Headed by Kaledines
Gaining Force-Serious Situa-
tion in City of Moscow.

Along the entire western front
from the north to the Adriatic sea
artillery ducls of great magnitude
arc being fought which doubtless are
the forcrunners Of the expected great
offensive the Tcutonic allies have in
view before the American troops can
reach the battle fronts in great num-
bers.
On the Iprcs and Arras fronts held
by the British, on various sectors
eastward from st. Quentin to Alsace
in the hilly country bordering the
Italian plains and at points along the
Piave river the big guns everywhere
are in operation.
On the British front huge numbers
of airplancs are continually engaged
in battles in the air or searching out
points where troops are being con-
centrated. The only infantry activity
taking place on any of the fronts is
In the nature Of raiding operations.
The Tcutons daily continue to rein
force by large numbers their already
superior forces on all the fronts. In
the rush of trops and munitions to
the thcater in which the British are
operating one German train is report
ed to have collidcd with another, re-
sulting in great explosion in which
several hundred soldiers were killed.
Between the Brcnta and Piave riv-
trs on the northern front in Italy
the artillery fighting is described by
the Rome war Office as intense, and
there is similar activity in the coastal
region near the mouth of the Piave,
where the Austrians Monday captured
a position in the Capo Silc region,
but later were driven out with heavy
losses in killed and men made pris-
oners.
In Russia the countcr-rcvolutionary
movement, headed by Gen. Kaledines,
is growing in strength. Realizing the
seriousness of the situation consider
able forces of troops from the Rus
sian font are being rushed from the
trenches to give battle to Kacdines'
Cossacks.
The situation in Moscow, which is
held by the Bolshcviki, is said to be
serious. Unofficial adviccs say street
fighting has already occurred there,
and that the garrison is showing
sipns of mutiny against the Boil
shevik.
Starvation is mcnacing the popula-
tion of the city.

later the invaders had been driven out
of Egypt and the British forces cross
ed the border into Palestine.
There had been no hint as to Eng
lands intention to undertake a def
mite invasion Of the Holy Land and
1T was with intense surprise that the
world learned on March 7 that the
British forces had captured Ell Khulil,
fifteen miles south Of Jerusalem. Ell

Hebron.
Early in November the British ac-
tivity resulted in the capture of Ber-

on the northwest, and on December 7,
Gen. Allenby announced that he had
definite possession Of Hebron. Jeru-
salem thus was virtually cut off on all
sides but the east.
Fed details have come through
since that date but the incirculatinp
movement must have been carr led out
with considerable rapidity, culminat-
ing in the surrender of the city.
In sentimental and romantic aspect
the capture of Jerusalem far exceeds
even the fall of fable-crowned Bag
dad. The modern city of Jerusalem
contains about 10000 inhabitants and
IS the home of pestilence, filth and fe-
Vers, but in historic events it natural
ly surpasses, to the Christian world.
all the places on earth. Since the
days when David wrested it from the
hands of Jebusites to make it the CAP
ltai OF the Jewish race, Jerusalem has
been the prize and prey of half the
races of the world. 1t has surpassed
successively into the hands of the
Assyrians, Babylonians, Greeks, Rom
ans, Persians, Arabs, Turks, the mot
ley crowds of the crusaders, finally to
fall before the descendants of Rich
ard the Lion Hearted, who strove in
vain for it's possession more than 700
years ago.

MOSCOW SCENE OF
DESPERATE NIGHT FIGHTING

London, Dec. 11.-Moscow, strong
hold of the Cossacks and cinstitu-
tional democrats, is tonight in the
throes of civil war and starvation.
Violent street clashes were fought
all day. An organized battle between
the Cossacks and Bolsheviki is i'm
pending, with numerical strength and
moral and material support evidently
on the Cossacks side.
The garrison is wavcring in it's 10y
atty to the Bolsheviki. Once it goes
over to the Cossacks, Moscow will be
lost to Lcninc.
Soserious is the situation in Mos
COW that the Swedish consul today
warned the Swedish residents there to
leave the city, warning that was
not issued even in the days of the
worst disturbances in the past.
Ensign Krylenko, the Bolsheviki
"generalissimo," personally heads the
forces marching against the Cos
sacks. Throughout Russia the strife
between Bolsheviki and Cossacks is
coming to a head.

JAPAN DENIES
REQUEST FOR BOATS

Toxic, Japan, Dec. 10.--The Japa-

denial of reports that the inter-allied
confercnc at Paris last week asked
Japan to place more merchantmcnt at
the disposal Of the allies for use in
the Atlantic.
The government adds that the uues-
tlon OF Japanese tonnage or trops
was not touched upon by the confer
ence and that Japan is "not bound to
any such obligation" Japan, the
statement adds, "must decide these
questions for herself" and "the allies
understand the impracticabilty of
sending troops to Europe"

miles of yard trackage. The various
standardized parts for the ships are
being supplied from 40 different
manufacturing establishments. In the
Newark yard alone there are 5000
men ready for building the new steel

LOSING STRENGTH

London, Dec. 1.-The political at
mosphere in Great Britain has once
more become tense. Opposition to the
Lloyd-Gcorge government is growing.
Rumors that it stands before a crisis
become louder and louder. The pre-
micr's majority in parliament has
shrunk considerably during the last
few months, so much so that some
of his friends urge him to appeal to
the country and ask for general
election before political coup may
succeed in ovelthrowing him.

Tells STORY OF COLLISION
WHICH WRECKED HALIFAX
Master of French Munition Ship Says
Belgian Relief Boat Violated all
Signals to Run Him Down.

Halifax, N. S., Dec. 1O.-Captain
Arme Medoc, commander of the
French munitions ship Mont Blanc,
today gave out the first real authen
tic explanation of the explosion. 1t is
the same story that he will tell at
the inquiry which opens tomorrow.
He said: 81 was up on the quar-
tcr-deck of the Mont Blanc with the
pilot, Captain Maclay going up the
harbor to Bedford Basin, where 7
was to anchor and await convoy. 1t
was clear morning The water was
smooth and we were at half-spccd on
the starboard side toward the basin.
There were no vessels in our. course
until we sighted the Belgian relief
ship, lrmo, coming out of the basin
and headed toward the Dartmouth
shore. She was more than two miles
away at the time. We signallcd we
would keep the Mont Blanc on the
starboard tack, going up the basin.
We healed little more inshorc so
as to make clear to the Irmo our pur
pose. She signallcd that she was
coming down on the port, which
would bring her on the same side
with us. We are keeping to the right
or starboard according to pilotage
rules. We kept on our course, hop
ing that she would come down as
she would on the starboard side,
which would keep her on the Halifax
side and us to the Dartmouth side.
'To our surprise the Imo kept COM
ing down on the port side so we sig
nailed again. We saw there was dan
ger of collision and signalled to stop
the engine at the same time vcering
slightly to port which brought the
two vessels with starboards parallel
when about 300 feet apart.
"fhc Imo cut into us about a third
through the deck and hold and the
benzola stored there, poured into the
picric acid igniting it and causing a
cloud of smoke to arise from the YES
sci forward. There was nothing else
we could do so boats were lowered
and the al of us on board rowcd for
the Dartmouth shore"
The work of caring for the hun
drcds of homeless is going on rapidly.
With a freezing temperature and an
other blizzard the measures of relief
are not slackening.
The estimates Of dead as a result
of last weeks disaster show a wide
variance. Some place them at 1900,
others at 1000, while. others still
higher.

held in the Methodist Church Sunday
night to welcome the new pastor, the
Rev Charles B. Smith. All the diff

This indirect reference TO the impend-

from both sides.
