{Continued from Page One).

Russian ring. Petrograd claims to have eut the German com-

Munieations.

Along the foothills of the Carpathians, the Russians have reached a point suuth of Cracow, while another force is } directly north of that stronghold,

Twelve British warships have gone to the South Atlantic, in pursuit of the German fleet which was recently off the Chile coast, and which is now believed to be in the Atlantic.

An officer of the British Army Medical Corps reports a serious outbreak of typhoid in Beigium. Thirty new cases develop daily among the Belgian soldiers, with others among civiliana. If not cheeked, the authorities say, there is danger of the Belgian army being wiped out, while thousands of the people of West Flanders and Northeastern France will perish,

Fifteen hundred British officers and men are reported to be in the hospitals atBoulogne, suffering from frozen feet. A thousand of them are likely to lose one or both feet,

London, Dee. 3:—General Christian De Wet, the noted Boer leader, who has heen in command of a force of. Germans and

renegade Boers in South Africa, has been taken. prisoner, with,

many of his men, by the loyal troops. commanded by General Louis| - Botha. The capture of the rebel commander, it is thought, wilh) end all rebellion in the Transvaal,

‘ Another great war loan is to be floated by the German govern- ment. The Kaiser's parliament has voted five billion marks to carry on the war,

- Advices from Petrograd say there is a lull! in the aghting along |: the whole front, save in Poland, where the Germans made an un- successful attack on a Russian position near Lodz,

’ Berlin despatches say the German authorities admit the defeat cf their armies in Poland, with severe losses, but claim that al- though the attempted advance on Warsaw was frustrated, the army is in no danger,

The Allies yesterday gained further ground in Argonne, while French troops have advanced in Alsace.

At Lampernisse, west of Dixmude, the German artillery yester- day conducted a fierce bombardment of Franco-British positions, The result of the action is not stated in the official communique,

New estimates by military experts place Germany's. total strength in the field today, on both fronts, at less than 3,250,000 officers and men, Approximately a million men have been lost by the Germans in killed, wounded and prisoners. On the western front, in Northeastern France and Belgium, the enemy has probably 1,500,000 men engaged, the forces of the Allies being about the sume in number.

King George, who is now at the front, is taking the greatest interest in the operations of the British troops ‘and their allies,’ Yesterday, in company with President Poincare, General Joffre. and the premier of France, Flis Majesty visited General French at the British commander's field: headquarters,

Belgrade has been occupied “ by the Austrians - after’ four months of continued attacks. The Servian capital was removed from the city, which is on the Austro-Servian frontier, early. in the war. The Servian troops are in good: winter positions, and are confident of holding the Austrians at bay. - .

Canada will supply six thousand horses for use at. the front.

‘Reports are currant that the German fleet is about to emerge

‘into the North Sea, The Kaiser's large war vessels havé been held |’ in safety in Kiel harbor, except for occasional operations in the Baltic. Now that winter prevents the Russian ships from léaving their harbors, it is thought the German warships in the Baltic will at last endeavor to make a showing against the British navy.

' London, Dee, 4:—There is an almost complete stoppage of news from the western battle front. This, it is believed, indicates that events of great importance are transpiring. Strong: British reinforcements are now at the front, and it is thought an important battle is raging in Flanders,

The first official Russian report on the recent fighting in Poland states that, of the German troops defeated by the Czar’s forces, one and a half army corps succeeded in cutting their way through ‘the encireling Russians, but with enermous losses. The battle is stili in progress, the advantage being with the Russians, and it is evident that, in the event of decisive defeat, which seems imminent, the Germans must retire to theix own territory, lk

The Ruasian advance on Cracow is steadily. progressing, ” and yesterday had reached within elght miles of the fortress, capturing a position within three miles of the outer fortifications.

King George spent four days with the British troops, and ig still at the front, Yesterday he visited the firing lise, apending some time in the trenches, conversing freely with the men and questioning them. He found a cheery determination to stay with the fight until the Germans were thoroughly beaten. .

A big naval battle is expected in the-South Atlantic; where the Germans are now reported to have ten warships. This fleet is be- ing sought. by British ships. The battle cruiser Invincible is steam- ing south to join the British fleet.

In the darkness of early morning the Germans ‘attempted to throw a large force across the flooded waters of the Yser,. on -big

yafts, The stratagem was discovered, and the Allies’ artillery fire wrecked a number of the rafts, killing many of -the enemy. and drowning quite a number. Notwithstanding their heavy logses, : “the Germans continued to attempt the crossing until noon. "Chancellor Bethmann-Hollweg, speaking in the Reichstag, 3 said Germans would persist to their last breath in the’ war- which had been “‘forced’upon the nation.’ .He declared he.had written _proof of. Belgium’s. guilt in surrendering. ‘her. nelitrality, ‘and , asserted ‘that. the British policy was responsible for the: war. The. ‘Austrian situation at Przomyal ig desperate, mo A Berlin report says the Krupp works at Essen were raided by 7 British airmen, who dropped boynbs on half the buildings’ and “escaped without injury. .
