Tiie German fortress surrendered to the Anglo-Japanese forces at midnight, after the besiegers, In a desperate in­ fantry charge, had captured the mid- 416 fort of the first line of defense while the Teutons' eyes were blinded by powerful searchlights. Complete casualty lists containing the names of the killed and wounded in the operations around Tsing Tao given out before the announcement of the surrender of the fortress show that the British lost two killed and eight wounded, their wounded Including two majors, and that the Japanese lost 200 killed and 878 wounded.

Advance. 'Two regiments, one Scottish and one of Che guards, went down wilth ,bayonets to stem the advance. It was the most terrible bayonet charge of the whole war. It succeeded, the break in the line was repaired and the German attack was once more driven back. "That was their last effort. Today the Germans are dropping an occa­ sional desultory shell into Ypres, but their attacks have ceased. They are now assailing the allied line at Arras, 40 miles further to the south, but not with the same fury as they ex­ hibited in the onslaught of the last week. German Loss 100,000. "So fierce has been the fighting around Ypres that the casualties of the Germans are believed to have reached the enormous figure of 100,- 000. though these figures may prove to have been exaggerated:" At only one point on the two battle fronts do the Germans claim success. That is to the west of the Argonne region, where the German emperor's forces have succeeded in taking from the French an important height near Vienne-Le-Chateau. Elsewhere the French troops have made progress and retaken the posi­ tions which they had lost during the course of the week. This is notably so in the Aisne valley around Sois- sons, where they have regained the ground which the Germans by fieree assaults had taken from them. Change Line of Attack.

A Russian movement of stupen­ dous significance has been in progress, for news of a brilliant victory on the Austrian boundary comes from a high authority. Not a word of this has yet appeared in the press. It is the greatest success of the war, so Russian staff officers consider it. The combined German and Austrian armies have been dealt a staggering blovy along their line of communica­ tion which is of vital importance. , Unequaled Since Napoleon. The rapidity of the Russian army's movements on the Polish battle fields has not been' equaled since" the days of the great Napoledn. Eighteen days after their first at­ tack near Warsaw the Russians are across the German frontier at a spot 134 miles from Warsaw. Deducting the time spent in fight­ ing the battles before that city and another battle north of the Pilltza river, this • mfcaus that the Russian pursuit has been pressed for more than a week at a rate averaging four* teen miles a day, and over Polish roads after a rainy season. Military men will have no difficulty in appre­ ciating the condition of the fugutive German forces after such experience as these. . 3,000,000 Against Russia. "It is asserted in Berlin that Ger­ many and Austria-Hungary now havo concentrated about 3,000,000 soldiers on the line from Thorn to Craeow, and this is considered sufficient to crush the Russian forces," says a dispatch form Copenhagen to the Times.

London, Nov. 9.--A dispatch to the Times from Dunkirk, France, says: "After a desperate attack lasting the whole week the German attempt to break the allied line at Ypres has flailed. "It may be admitted that the posi­ tion at «Ypres two days ago was seri- PUB. The town itself was bombarded by the Germans with extraordinary violence, and under the fierce can­ nonading the allies had to withdraw "from the town, which became a 'No man's land," across which the shells from both sides burst.

Belgian troops occupy both banks of the river. "German troops have retreated east­ ward in large numbers and continued to arrive in Bruges throughout yester­ day." The British fleet, say unofficial ac­ counts, again has taken action along the Belgian coast, and has been bom­ barding Knocke and Zeebrugge, where the Germans are supposed to be or­ ganizing bases for their submarines. An avi&tor from the allies' lines dropped two bombs In German naph­ tha tanks at Bruges Thursday, killing eight marines. 150,000 More Men for Kaiser. The Germans have concentrated 150,000 fresh troops in Munster, 78 miles northeast of Cologne. They will be sent into Belgium Sunday, when all railway traffic will stop for the pur­ pose. Guns were thundering again today in the direction of Thourout and Ypres. The allies make constant sal­ lies at night from Passchendaele, 11 miles northeast of Ypres. Apparently scouts have blown up the railway between Bruges and Ghent, as a trainload of wounded was obliged to return to Bruges during the day. by no means exempt from the penalty of the presence of great contending hosts. Occasionally we read in the dispatches of the appearance of chol­ era in the eastern theater of war. It is said to have manifested itself in the Austrian camps and if the report is true close contact with the Russian army may account for this new af­ fliction on a country already terribly disturbed. Cholera lurks in the East and not a few of the Russian troops have been drawn from its abiding place. A Russian army,, according to FRANCE NOW TURKEY'S FOE. Official Declaration of War Made-- Epirus Seized by Greece. Washington, Nov. 7.--Official dis­ patches from the French foreign of­ fice to the embassy here today con­ firmed the report that the French government had announced that a state of war existed between France and the Ottoman empire. With Russia, Great Britain and France as its foes. Turkey soon may find Servia's war declaration placed on its doorstep. Greece Annexes Epirus. London, Nov. 7.--A dispatch from Saloniki says that Ozographos, the former governor of that seaport, has addressed a proclamation to the Epirotes Informing them of the an­ nexation of Epirus by Greece. Except for the Russian announce­ ment of the invasion of Turkish ter­ ritory from the Caucasus silence pre­ vails as to the operations in the near East. Balkans May Join War. For the present interest is centered in the possibilities of the Balkan atates becoming involved in the war. Epirus was denied to Greece by the London conference after the first Balkan war. It is also said on good authority that negotiations are proceedings for an arrangement by which Bulgaria will receive Macedonia, which is largely Bulgarian, if she will consent to give her active support to the allies' cause. Servia, which won Macedonia by the sword, hesitates, it is said, to give it up, but it is thought here she can hardly turn a deaf ear to Russia, who entered the war on her account. Fur­ ther, it is said, she would receive com­ pensation in Bosnia through which she would get a route to the sea. Holy War Proclaimed. Official announcement was made in Berlin, says a wireless report, that the Sheik-ul-lBlam, the chief etjclesN astical dignitary of Mohammedanism in Turkey, has issued a decree in Constantinople, saying that in the fighting with Russia, England and France the duty of every Mussulman is to his faith.

GENERAL .NFORMS GARRISON SITUATION 18 NOT SERI0U8. Petrograd, Nov. 11.--Cracow, the key to Vienna, v.ill be attacked within twenty-four hours, according to un­ official advices from the Russian front. The Czar's troops are at the city's gates. The Austrian rear guard has been driven from Pinczow, commanding an important crossing of the upper Vistula, 25 miles from Cracow, And the ftusslans have crossed the river, and cut off the retreat of the Austrians on that fort­ ress. A little to the north the Russians are advancing with a seemingly irre­ sistible force on Breslau on the way to Berlin. Berlin admits that the Russ advance at this point is well beyohd the Wa^the river between Czenstochowa, 12 miles east of the border and Kaltez. Northwest of Kalisz the Russian in­ vasion of Posen at Plescheu, 15 miles Inside the frontier, apparently threat­ ens the Gerroar line of communica­ tion. Official announcement in Petrograd was made that fhe German forces which invaded northwestern Poland had been driven back into Uast Prus­ sia. This clears Russian territory of the invader except the extreme west­ ern part of Russian Poland, where the German are still striving to hold their positions against the repeated attacks of the czar's army. Additional successes against the Ottoman forces in Turkish Armenia were also officially reported. Constantinople Is Shelled. Constantinople is being attacked from two sides. The Russian Black sea fleet is bombarding the Turkish forts at the entrance to the Bosporus and the allied French and British squadrons are shelling the fortifica­ tions at the mouth of the Dardanelles, the southern entrance to *he Sea of Marmora. Two ports on the north- coast of Asia Minor have been shelled by two Russian warships, the T?agul and the Pamiat Merkooria. After the attack of these two towns--Kohlu and Suglu --the ships sailed west and began the attack on the Bosporus. The Turkish naval coaling station at Eregli, 130 miles northeast of Con­ stantinople, has been shelled by the Russians. A number of vessels in tha harbor were sunk. The former German cruiser Bres­ lau meanwhile bombarded the Rus­ sian port of Poti. While these activities were attract­ ing the attention of the Turks on their northern coast, the French and Rritish ships in the Aegean bombard­ ed the Dardanelles base. It is expected that as soon as the destruction of these positions is complete marines will, be landed on the Trojan plain to advance on Constantinople from the land side. With the approach of the allies a revolt is said to have broken out In the Turkish capital. Official announcement was made in Rome that tlje Germans have taken a new offensive against Dixmude and in the region of Ypres, but that their attacks have everywhere been repulsed by the allies. New attacks by the Germans in Alsace have also been re­ pulsed. At some points the French have made an advance, but this has been slight because of the attacks of the Germans and a heavy fog. „In the Aisne and in the Argonne dis­ trict there are alternate demonstra­ tions on both sides. Along the heights of the Meuse the Germans have lost some ground, it Is reported by the war office. The allies have cut off the German garrison in Ypres from the main body operating toward it from the east and they have forced back this main body, whose only hope was to maintain a violent offensive. Berlin Claims Gcins Nssr Ypres. Berlin, Nov. 11.--The following Statement was given out here: Several of the enemy's ships again attacked our right wing yesterday, but were quickly driven off by our artillery. The enemy attempted an advance from Nieuport during the evening and repeated the attack again at night, but failed completely. Notwithstanding the most stirbborn resistance, out attacks in the direction of Ypres are proceeding slowly but surely. The enemy's counter-attacks northeast of Ypres have been repulsed and several hundred prisoners taken. ml y*.

Secretary of War Garrison tele­ graphed to General Funston that re­ ports had it that an attack on Vera Cruz was imminent and that there was great unrest at the Mexican capital. The war department wanted to know exactly what truth there was in these rumors, so It could rush aid to Funston if necessary. General Funston laconically replied: "Many unsubstantial rumors have prevailed for a long time. I think it better to discredit unsubstantiated ru­ mors. There is nothing alarming In local conditions at Vera Cruz." IMPORTANT NEWS ITEMS London, Nov. 5$-- Major Viscount Dalrymple, M. P., is a prisoner in Ger­ many.

LIMITED CHOICE OF VIANDS Quest Who Didn't Care for Salmon Was in Fatr Way to Have Hot Breakfast. ---- 0 In some parts of the Canadian back country the recurrence of boiled sal­ mon, broiled salmon, salmon cutlets, and salmon steak at every meal be­ comes, after a few weeks, a trifle monotonous. To the native palate, brought up on it, this constant reap­ pearance of the selfsame dish Is a matter of course; but to the newly arrived tourist it grows at last into a feeble joke. "Is there nothing else for break­ fast?" said one such victim of colonial hospitality, as a whole fish and a pot of mustard were laid before him on the table." "Nothing else!" replied the host, In surprise. "Why, there's salmon enough there for six, aint' there?" "Yes," responded the guest, mildly; "but I don't care for salmon." "Well, then, fire into the mustard," was the rejoinder. Re^l-Life Romance.

The human body will stand a lot of abuse, but sometime it will surely re­ bel and demand proper food in place of the pasty, starchy, greasy stuffs on which it has been made sick. Then is the time to try Grape-Nuts, the most scientific and perfect food In the world. A lady of Washington says: "Three years ago I was very ill with catarrh of the stomach and was given up to die by one doctor. I laid in bed four months and my stomach was so weak that I could not keep down medicine or hardly any kind of food and was so weak and emaciated after four months of this starvation that my daughter could easily lift me from bed and put me In my chair. "But weak as my stomach was, It accepted, relished and digested Grape- Nuts without any difficulty the first time that wonderful food was tried. "I am now strong and in better health than for a great many years and am gradually growing still stronger. I rely on Grape-Nuts for much of the nourishment that I get. The results have certainly been won­ derful In my case and prove that no stomach is so weak It will not digest Grape-Nuts. "My baby got fat from feeding on Grape-Nuts.
