GERMANS RUSH TO FRANCE
LONDON’, Nov. 7—The belief has come here and is
now growing that the Germans have reached their de
fence on the Warta river in Russian Poland and that they
will remain behind them and atempt no further offensive
movements against the Russian army but with their
army on the defensive in a strong position they will rush
great re-iuforcemeats to France and Belgium to hammei
their way to the cities on the French northern coast. With
the Germans safe behind their defenses on the Warta and
the Austrians behind strongly fortified positions reaching
fom Cracow to the Carpathian mountains it is assumed
that the advance of the Russians can be stayed for the
present. That the flower of the German forces is now be
ing actually rushed to France is the general belief and
this belief has been strengthened by advices and the ef
fort of the Germans to smash their way to Calais is looked
for soon.
JAROSLAW SURELY TAKEN
LEMBERG, Nov. 6.—The story of the capture of the
Austrian city of Jaroslaw has been confirmed. The news
was doubted when it was announced from Russian head
qnarters but recent advices from the front show that it
is now in Russian hands and that the Austrians are re
treating along the river San with the main body of the
Russian army following. It is now assumed that the Rus
sians will continue the advance into the territories from
which they were compelled to retreat some time ago Out
that the Austrians will again fall back on Cracow and the
.relative situations of the opposing forces will be similar
to what they were more than a month ago.
BULGARIA MAY FIGHT
LONDON, Nov. 7,—Recent advices from the Bal
kans show that Bulgaria will most likely enter the war on
the side of the allies just as soon as she has received prom
ises from the allied powers that she will receive conces
sions of territory. Her aid is looked for by the allies to
attack Turkey from the north and so compel the lurks to
remove large parts of their armies from the Asiatic pro
vinces where thev are threatening the Persian and Egyp
tian frontiers. That Bulgaria would be given territorial
reward without hesitation by the allies is certain were
it not for the fact that Greece, Servia and Roumania
might object to an increase of their former antagonist s
power in that part of Europe. Forty eight hours may be
sufficient to decide Bulgaria in the matter as negotiations
are now surely proceeding. It is, however, regarded as
likely that Bulgaria would also have to be financed to take
up another conflict.
GERMANS TRY NEW ROUTE
PARIS, Nov. 7.—The official advices from the front
this morning show matters to be comparatively quite near
the river Yser. Below Dixmude the Germans are appar
ently concentrating all their forces on the Ypres and
Arras line with the evident object of reaching Boulogne
on the French coas through the valley of the Ganche river.
Three recently formed army corps have just been brought
up to stiffen the exhausted German troops who have been
engaged in the fierce struggling which has been taking
place for the past day or two. No advances or losses by
either side are reported this morning but the conflict is
going on and further fiercely increased activities are ex
pected today.
CAPTURING AUSTRIANS AGAIN
PETRAGRAD. Nov. 7.—It is officially announced
this afternoon that the left wing of the Russian armies
in engagements before Cracow have captured two hun
dred and seventy four officers and eighteen thousand five
hundred men of the Austrian army. The troops of this
country also captured many guns and a great quantity
of war material.
RUSSIANS ATTACKING GERMANS
PETROGRAI), Nov. 7.—The Russian army has now
begun the attack on the German position at Sieradz on the
Warta, or Warthe, river in Russian Poland. This engage
ment marks the beginning of the Russian advance against
the last fortified positions held by the enemy on Russian
soil. The Germans are heavily entrenched, however, and
the task of dislodging them will be a severe one but the
Russians hope to carry the place in a very short time. The
enemv is entirely on the defensive and whatever the i esult.
of the Russian attack might be no forward German move-;
ment is expected as the Germans are compelled to dis
patch large re-inforcements to France and Belgium.
REPORT KOLO TAKEN
LONDON. Nov. 7.—It is reported this afternoon that
Kolo on the Warta river has been occupied by the Rus
sians and if this report is true it will mean such a weaken
ing of the German position in the eastern theater of war
that no further German re-inforcements can be sent to j
the westward against the French and British. General (
Joffre and the Grand Duke Nicholas, commanders of the:
French and Russian armies are now constantly exchang- j
ing compliments as if they were commanding forces on the;
same field and were brightening each other up. And it is
almost really a fact that the fighting in Russia and in
France are one of the same battle as on the result of each
may depend the fate of the other. The Russians are work
ing in close co-operation with the allies and their chief
intention is to keep the German hands full in the east to
prevent aid from being sent to the west.
GREECE TAKES EPIRUS
SALONICA, Nov. 6.—A proclamation by the Greek
government announces the formal annexation of Epirus
by Greece. Epirus is part of southern Albania and its an
exation was attempted by Greece before but the powers
protested. Some complications may ensue from the taking
of the territory.
NOTHING FROM TURKEY
LONDON, Nov. 7.—Up to noon today nothing new
had developed in relation to Turkey’s part in the war.
Under the tutelage of the Germans the Turkish govern
ment is acting with the greatest secrecy regarding its
movements in Aisatic territory but it is supposed here
that the Ottoman troops are still being concentrated on
the Egyptian and Persian borders.
The same lack of news is noticed in relation to events
in South Africa. Rumors that some further fighting has
taken place have been set afloat but absolutely nothing
official has been told. Since the reported reverse sustained
by General Beyers it is supposed that he and De Wet have
devoted their time to organizing whatever forces they
can secure in the fight against the British.
MOOSE OF SEWARD HAVE
A ROYAL OLD TIME
Largest Lodge in the Third Division
and Youngest Celebrates in Style
- •
The ladies of the Moose lodge were 1
entertained last night by the members j
of the lodge and all who were present
agree in saying that they had a line
time. The regular meeting of the'
lodge was held previous to the enter
tainment and then the members
marched to the railroad building pre-1
ceded by a drummer. The lodge has
now something like a hundred mem- i
bers, about a score of whom came in
last night. These with some visiting
Moose from interior Alaska made up
a large crowd. Long tables were laid
in the lower hall of the R. R. building
and dancing took place up stairs. The
refreshments really deserve the name
of banquet. Mrs. McNeer played de
lightful "dance music. Mrs. N»mim
sang as only she can sing. The who.v.
place was decorated. Everyone had
a holiday appearance and were in
in what might be called celebrating
spirits so that the affair could not be
surpassed.
FOOTBALL STARTS WITH
RATTLING GOOD GAMES
SEATTLE, Nov. 7.—The finals in
the football games were pulled off to
day and resulted in rattling good
games in some instances. Yale beat
Brown by fourteen to six. Harvard
walked away with Princeton, beating
it by twenty to nothing. The navy
gave exactly the same licking to
Fordham with the very same score in
its favor.
TOM AITKEN HERE
Tom Aitken, one of the most prom
inent mining men in Alaska, is in the
city after a journey overland from
the Iditarod. Bob McLaughlin is also
in Seward after a summer in the
Kuskokwim. It is said that Mr. Mc
Laughlin has been lucky in that coun
try this summer during drilling oper
ations and that Mr. Aitken has be
come interested ir. property there.
