GERMANS IN COMMAND
%
ROME, Dec. 19.—The Popoio newspaper here states
that the Turkish army which is supposed to have the Suez
canal for an objective point has not yet become thorough
ly mobilized for its attack and that the German officers in
command have decided not to make the advance until
tlu \ have perfectly organized their means of offense. No
reports of a reliable nature have come here as to the re
sult of the operations in eastern Asia Minor but the Rus
sians and the Turks both emphatically claim successes.
There have been hazy rumors of revolutions in Egypt and
Persia in favor of the Turks but none of the stories can be
confirmed.
SWISS DEMOBILIZE
GENEVA, Dec. 19.—'The snow has fallen so heavily
along the Swiss frontiers that the danger of the violation
of Swiss neutrality is no longer regarded as existing and
the army of Switzerland has been ordered demobilized.
rl he government of this country declares that there has
never been the least indication that either of the belli
gerents has ever shown a desire to interfere w ith S\\ itzei -
land. (In the few occasions when some of the hostile
troops crossed the frontier unwittingly ample apologies
were made and the fear that this country will be in
volved has passed away.
LONDON. Dec. 19.—Every lighting man on land and
sea is to lie provided with plum pudding for his Christmas
dinner. This arrangement has been made by the war of
fice with the help of the public at large.

BERLIN TELLS LOSSES
BERLIN. Dec. 19—A total of twenty two thousand
dead, wounded and missing appears in the German lists
of casualties published today. The German loss along
the Yser river thus far, including the list published to
day. number thirty thousand. This immense total for one
small part of the battle fronts indicates that the losses j
on all sides must be enormous. This government claims, j
however, that the losses of the Russians particularly are ;
so numerous that counting them is an almost impossible!
task.
DRESDEN STILL AT LARGE
NEW YORK, Dec. 19.—Telegraphic advices received
here todav state that the German cruiser Dresden has
succeeded'in getting clear away from her pursuers and
is now somewhere in the South Atlantic .steuming fast
for some destination unknown. It is believed that she
knows of some place where she can secure coal and pi o
visions but if she fails to do so she cannot avoid capture
tor very long. In the meantime she can do much damage
to British shipping and the cruisers of the allied powers
will never give up the chase. ;
A gentleman named Carr who re
cently spent some time in Seward has
been married outside and the news
paper of the place signalized the event
by descrbing him as the millionaire
J discoverer of the Broad Pass. Judg
l ing by the statement and the nuptial
occasion of it it looks as if someone
had been Carrying on pretty strong.
