HIS TERMS REJECTED 'Fail of Austrian Stronghold l« B< lleved by Czar's Troops to Bs Im­ minent--7,000,000 Men Taking Part In Great Battles-- Seek to Retake Os- tend. Rome, NOT. 23.--Przemysl has of­ fered to capitulate on condition that the garrison march out with arms and baggage. The Russians refused to ac­ cept the offer because they believe the fortress cannot hold out much longer. Surrender is imminent. Because of the important bearing on the war in general and the great num­ ber of men engaged Interest centers OD the battles in Poland. General von Hindenburg, command­ er of the German troops, and Grand Duke Nicholas, commander in chief of the Russians, two of the greatest strategists the war has produced, are maneuvering for positions between the Vistula and the Warta and a big battle is in progress on the Cracow- Czenstochowa line between Russian and Austro-German forces. An unofficial dispatch coming through Rome says that the Russians repulsed two attacks before Cracow, but beyond the Russian official state­ ment that the Russians have had par­ tial success northwest of Lodz, there Is nothing to indicate how things are going. 7,000,000 Are in Battles. Seven million men are engaged in the battles on the Russo-German fron- lers, 3,000,000 on the Austro-German side and 4,000,000 Russians. Petrograd claims that the German offensive between the Warta and Vis­ tula has been checked. An official statement issued at Ber­ lin says: 'In the eastern war theater the op­ erations are still further developing. ^Nothing can yet be reported regarding the situation in East Prussia. The pursuit of the defeated enemy, which was driven back through Mlawa and Plock, continues. Our defensive at Lodz has made progress. "In the region of the east of Czens- tochowa our troops are fighting by the side of our allies and have gained ground." At Arys, where the Russians are re­ ported to have made a considerable ad­ vance in the last few days, they have been compelled to storm concrete block houses.' resulting in some in­ stances In heavy loss of life.

Between Knocke and Zeebrugge nearly the whole sea dyke has been converted into an artillery fortress. At least six submarines have been brought overland in sections by the Germans and are now at Zeebrugge. The people living north of Zeebrugge have been ordered to leave their homes, and, with a view of breaking any communication with the allied fleet, they have been forbidden to seek new homes on the coast.

Germans Take Three Towns. Berlin, via Amsterdam, Nov. 25.-- Steadily pressing forward south of the Weischsel (Vistula) river, the German forces in Russian Poland have cap­ tured the three towns of Lowlcz, Deb­ ske and Rezlazlow, according to a semiofficial dispatch received here from the front.

Great numbers were stricken down before the fury of a terrific blizzard which leveled the trenches, enveloped the big guns and chilled the marrow in the bones of the fighting men.

London, Nov. 22.--The Evening News publishes the following dis­ patch from Copenhagen: "A Berlin dispatch says that mili­ tary circles calculate the losses of the whole of Germany to date at 1,230,000 killed, wounded and missing. These figures do not include the sick officers and soldiers, the number of whom is reckoned at nearly half a million. These calculations seem to be proved by 80 official German lists carrying 580,000 names. These addf- tional lists have also been given out: Saxony, 57; Wuerttemberg, 60; Ba­ varia, 53; navy, 12.

The Army Messenger gives this de­ scription of the capture of Gumbinnen which is 65 miles east-southeast of Koenigsberg: "The Germans had strongly in­ trenched themselves at Gumbinnen aft­ er obstinately resisting our advance to that point. Their batteries in­ flicted heavy losses upon our troops as they advanced. On three succes­ sive days our soldiers made direct as saults upon the enemy's positions only, to be driven back. The fourth day was devoted to a heavy bombardment from our artillery, heavy guns< having been brought up. German Batteries Taken. "On the fifth day, after our artil­ lery had driven the Germans from their first line of trenches, the Cos­ sacks made a daring charge and rode down the enemy's gunners.

"For several years," he said, "I have been rather pessimistic regarding busi­ ness conditions throughout the world, and especially in the United States; but now I am free to say that I believe we are on' the threshold of a great change. "The conditions ln the United States take on two phases--first, commercial, and, second, political. 1 am convinced that we are about to enter upon an era of^great business re\lval,and that the depression which Las hu J so heavy upon us for several years has reached the end.

Washington, Nov. 24. -- Brigadier General Funston's infantry t and ma­ rines, .numbering about six thousand men, hauled down the Stars and Stripes which have been flying over Vera Cruz since last April ahd began to evacuate the Mexican p<ut, in ac­ cordance with Instructions from Presi­ dent Wilson. * The five battleships at Vera Cru* and Tampico and the string of vessels on the weAt coast will remain indefi­ nitely. It was just seven months ago that the bluejackets and marines under Rear Admiral Fletcher seized Vera Cruz by order of the Washington gov­ ernment as an act of. reprisal in re­ taliation for affronts to the American flag at Tampico, where a boatload of American bluejackets were arrested. General Huerta, who controlled the forces at Tampico, hfad refused to com­ ply with the demand of Admiral Mayo for the salute of 21 guns. President Wilson Is hopeful that the evacuation of Vera Cruz will be an enduring demonstration to Central and South American countries of the pol­ icy of the United States enunciated in his Mobile speech a year ago to seek no territorial aggrandizement south of the Rio Grande. In withdrawing from Mexican soil the United States government has taken pains that no faction shall be recognized. General Funston has no specific orders to give the possession of Vera Cruz to General Aguilar or any other chief. The $1,000,000 or more ln customs duties will be held until a government is formally recognized by the United State*. After General Funston has Bafely landed his command at^Texas City it is probable that he will be assigned to the command of the central depart­ ment, with headquarters at Chicago. El Paso, Tex., Nov. 23.--The occupa­ tion by Villa troops of Mexico City has been delayed. It probably will not occur until after the evacuation of Vera Cruz by the American forces.

Increase of the Human Race Seems to Be ^Regulated by Wars and Other Devastations. Every year, according to scientists who attempt to keep the general rec­ ords, at least)80,000,000 human beings are born on this earth nad 60,000,000 or 70,000,000 die. This indicates a dail birth rate of about 220,000 and a death rate of 180,000. The daily increase in population therefore is about 40,000. The total population of the globe is estimated at 1,800,000,000. The ravages of war do little to im­ ped* the increase. Far more effective have been the upheavals of nature The Franco-Prussian war killed about 130,000 in seven months. The death roll of the Russo-Japanese reached about 200,000. A single earthquake (1737, in India) has been estimated to have caused 300,000 deaths. The fa­ talities of the Messina earthquake in 1908 cannot have been far short of TOO,000. A tidal wave in 1896 drowned 27,000 persons in Japan, causing a greater loss of life than the whole war with China in 1894. The earth­ quake in Japan in 1703 is said to have killed 200,000 people.
