Great Battle In Poland
Seems Favoring Russia
London, 10:30 a. m.—ln the eastern war area the great battle of Po
land seems to be progressing In favor of the Russians, who claim to have
checked decisively the German forces In their attempt to cross the Vistula.
The. Russians In and around Warsaw are being temporarily protected
from fresh German artillery aggression by reason of the Impassable con
dition of the country through recent rains and owing to the destruction
of the only railroad from Lowlcz to Warsaw.

leader to the bottom.
The other submarines escaped.
The French fleet subsequently recommended the bombardment of tho
forts of. Cattaro.
An Austrian aeroplane dropped several bombs In the neighborhood of
he fleet but no damage was done.
Here Come the Orders
Here are some facts which tell a story, not of
glittering prospects of prosperity hut of Actual,
Arrived, On-the-Spot, Down-to-Brass-Tacks, Stren
uous, Real, NEW Business; Business which is mak
ing the wheels of industry turn which will Impress
the idler from the curb and the unfortunate from
the bread line. Consider:
The French Government has just placed
an order with one Pittsburg steel firm for 5,000
tons of Bayonet and Sabre Steel.
Several thousand tons of armor plate for mo
tor cars and other vehicles is wanted by the Eng
lish and French Governments.
From Chicago comes the news that army wag
ons, blankets by the millions, additional thousands
of saddles and bridles, millions of cartridges are
wanted for the English and French armies.
Orders from Russia for supplies of all sorts are
being rushed to the United States and goods im
ported from this country will have preferential
treatment with special, low import duties.
Numbers of factories turning out textiles and
other necessities are running with three eight-hour
shifts, 24 hours of the day, in order to make deliv
eries in time.
These facts mean of course that the Neutral
United States is actively participating in the war.
The industrial army of America is complying with
mandate of nature that vacuums must be filled,
demands for food, clothing, all the necessities of
civilized mankind must be met.
Not only is the American Manufacturer repair
ing and replacing the values destroyed in the im
mediate territory devastated by war but he is also
busily engaged in taking the place left vacant in
the trade of those nations which depended for
their supplies upon people now busily fighting for
independent existence.

Jap Cruiser;
271 Perish
Tokio.—lt Is officially announced
that the Japanese cruiser Tukaehiho
was sunk by a mine In Kiaochow bay
the night of Oct 17. One officer and
nine members of the crew are known
to have been saved.
Quickly Sank.
Tokio.—The Taknchihn was on pa
trol duty outside Tslng-Tau when sh«
f6uled the mine. Japanese destroyers
heard the explosion and saw the flames
that resulted. They hurried to the as
sistance of the cruiser, which, how
ever, disappeared cjulckly and in the
darkness It was possible to rem*ue only
twelve men. Twenty-eight officers,
fifty-four non-commissioned officers
and 189 seamen perished.
The Japanese cruiser Takechiho was
built In 1885 and refitted in 1900. She
was a vessel of 3,700 tons and was
300 feet long and had 40 feet beam.
Her main battery consisted of eight

onstrations and rioting In Deptford
borough of lamdon yesterrtuy and last

the necessity of appearing against citi
zens, the object of whose attack had
been German shopkeepers, but he ex
plained that great damage had been
done to English premises as well. The
prisoners were remanded.
THINK CUMAXOF
BATTLE IN FRANCE
IS NOT FAR OFF
London, 1:50 p. m*—-OliHcrver# here
think that the climax In the battle In
northern France cannot be far off and
the London papers today are quoting
approvingly, though not In the sense
intended, the words attributed to Em
peror William who In addressing his
troops somewhere In France, on Octoi
tier 3rd, Is reported to have said:
“Before tho leaves fall from the
trees here, we shall all be back In the
dear fatherland."
The probability that the emperor
never expressed tills opinion does not
detract from its value in the British
I construction.

London.. 10:30 a. m. From tho

By All Indication!.
Though the news reaching England
Is meagre and to an ertent delayed,
111 tidings seem to Indicate that the
German advance from Ostend on tho
French coast towns has been blocked
temporarily while farther south In a
region that was a week ago the ex

again have been compelled to give
ground before the allies’ wedge force,
which has been concentrating on
Lille.
Several reports contend that tho
Germans have withdrawn from this
town, but Is not confirmed, nor Is the
report that they evacuated Courtrla.
thirty mlloe northwest. It seemH plain
that the menace here grew marked
and that the German army operating
along the coast of Flanders found it
self In peril of being cut off from the
main body. What opposition they met
along the sea Is only guess work.
Reports Agree.
All reports seem to agree that Os
tend practically Is clear of Germans,
who aparently are reforming to tho
south with • enforcements, and that
they now propose to hammer on to
ward Dunkirk and Calais. One report
says they are beyond Fumes, less
than ten miles from Dunkirk.
Further south In Bronco reinforce
ments from Brussels are said to have
brought up before Lille which the
Germans are reported as bombarding.
The Belgians themselves, according
lo last night’s Baris official communi
cation, have held the Germans In an
attempt to cross tho River Tser,
southwest of Dtxmude, Belgium. This
was the first heard of the Belgian
forces since the evacuation of Ant
werp.
King Albert.
King Albert, unheard of for some
time, is said to have cheered tho men
In the field.
Some of the London papers de
scribe the German evacuation of Oa
tend as a retirement to the east on
the theory that the allies’ progress to
the south threatened to Isolate the Os
tend garrison, making a retreat Im
perative. The dispatches arq far from
unanimous on the direction of the re
tirement.
Naval Craft.
From various sources came reports,
none of which was confirmed that
some sort of navsl craft are being
pressed into use by the allies In the
canals of Flanders and perhaps from
the sea. Sunday a dispatch direct
from Dunkirk said heavy firing could
be heard there and It was believed
gunboats were being used In the
canals.
Though there was a sporadic recur
rence of the anti-German rioting In
parts of London early today, police
protection In such places has been In
creased and no serious outbreaks were
reported this forenoon In the city.
