TO OPERATE ON KAISER
BERNE, Dec. 14.—A telegram from Munich says that
the doctors have decided to operate on the throat of the
kaiser but the opration has been deferred for a time ow
ing to the feverish condition of his majesty. This news has
given the impression that the emperor is much more ser
iously ill than had been supposed. The precise nature of
the malady seems to be hidden as much as possible.
DRESDEN SAFE
VALPARAISO, Dec. 14.—A dispatch from Punta
Seranas states that the German cruiser Dresden has ar
rived at that place uninjured by her experience in the bat
tle against the British fleet. The message does not say
what the next movement of the cruiser will be but, of
course, she will be compelled to leave port or be interned
during the war. It is regarded as hardly likely that she
will attempt to go to sea again as large numbers of war
vessels are constantly on the watch for her.
NOTHING FROM POLAND
LONDON. Dec. 14.—No information has been given
out today relating to the condition of affairs in Russian
Poland and this very quietness has given rise to anxiety
here although it may mean nothing else than that neither
the Russians nor the Germans have made any advances
worthy of notice.
WEATHER VERY COLD
LONDON, Dec. 14.—About all the direct informa
tion received this afternoon from the eastern war thea
ter is that the weather remains very cold and the Germans
are suffering most as they advanced so fast for several
days that they became removed from whatever shelter
they had prepared at the setting in of cold weather. In
Flanders and northern France the weather is also very
cold. The British soldiers feel rather keenly their remov
al from the land where the influence of the Gulf Stream
softened the winters. The dry cold is not so bad as the cold
rains that fall at times. This rain becomes sleet or snow
at nights and the trenches are mightly poor shelter indeed
although as time goes on the underground homes of the
troops are more carefully prepared. No one knowns where
the bulk of the troops which recently sailed have been
shipped. Many of them have been undoubtedly sent to
Egypt and to India but the war office cloaks all such mat
ters most carefully. The rebellion in South Africa is be
lieved to have been thoroughly extinguished except for
a few possible bands that may still be moving in the north
ern Transvaal. The details of the battle in which the Ger
man ships were defeated have not yet been published.

native help had to b? taken there from
