EX-KING -IS -WARLIKE
Good Opportunity at "Warsaw Lost
by Invaders, Says For.
PETROGRAD, via London, Oct. 27.
Reliable information received here from
Warsaw. gWilvg a detailed history of
the. attempted German advance Into
Russian Poland, says that .the Russian
. Generals are absolutely at a loss to ex
plian what they call a German error in
delaying. a night attack until the op
portunity was lost.
At the same time, however, the Rus
sian "Generals, who always are frank
in admitting the achievements of the
enemy, express admiration of General
von Morgen's lightning advance of nve
German army corps over the difficult
swampy region approaching Warsaw
from the southwest. The appearance
of the Germans in this quarter was
most unexpected, since the German net-
work of railway systems and the pre
viously constructed platforms for heavy
guns pointed to the probability of
German advance from the northwest or
west, or from anywhere but the south
west.
The Germans made a grave error, it
is-asserted, in not pursuing the &dvan
tage derived from their unexpected ad
vance, which would have enabled them
to approach within eight miles of War
saw without making their presence
known.
For unknown reasons the Germans
suddenly decided to delay the attack
until morning, which allowed the Si
berian and other Russian reinforce
ments to protect the city adequately,
Papers found in the possession of Ger
man omcers indicate that the general
plan was to attack Warsaw that night.
One explanation for the change in the
plan is that the Germans failed to ob
tain the assistance of the Polish ele
ment on which they had counted.
The Russian Generals also admire the
Germans' abrupt extrication when they
found themselves outflanked, their re
treat being so complete and precipitate
that the Russians were unable to over
take and engage the rearguard in ac
tion for several miles. The whole af
fair, including the whirlwind--advance
and retreat, at present is a puzzle to
the Russians.
The inhabitants of Warsaw say that
the dropping of German bombs, which
never were damaging to any great ex
tent, now has ceased, and. reassured by
the presence of Russian reinforcements
and the preparations being made to en
gage the enemy, the life of the city has
become almost normal.

LONDON. Oct. 27. Failing the ac
ceptance of the proffer of his services
by K.ing George for the war against
Germany, Manuel, ex-King of Portugal,
has now offered the government of the
Republic of Portugal to serve with
the Portuguese contingent if that
country decides to join the allies.
Manuel is strongly urging his follow
ers in Lisbon to avoid any -attempt to

present situation.

of King Carlos, already has gone -to
the front with the British Red Cross.

CZAR BUYS ICE BREAKERS
Archangel Route to Be Kept Open
for War Materials.
OTTAWA. Oct. 27. The Canadian
Governor-General received today from
the Russian Minister of Commerce, M.
Timashoff, a cable message express
ing thanks .for the . ice-breaker, Karl
Grey, which' was bought by Russia
recently. The message said:
"I beg your royal highness to accept
a respectful expression of profound
gratitude. . which I hasten to present
in the name of all . interested in the
Archangel Sea route, for the valuable
aid given by Canada in providing the
fine ice-breaker, which has now safely
arrived in Archangel. It is renamed
the Canada in commemoration of the
assistance rendered by the Canadian
government."
The Ice-breaker J. S. Horn also has
been bought from Canada by Russia,
which will use the boats to keep
Archangel harbor open to admit car
goes of war material which cannot be
landed at Baltic ports because of the
dominance of the Baltic byline German
fleet.
Officers Boast German Strength
Lies in Superiority of Artillery
and Efficiency of Spy
System.
LONDON. Oct. 27. The correspon
dent of the Morning Post writing from
a point near Rheims under date of Sat
urday and discussing the situation in
the Eastern part of the Aisne Valley
says:
"It is possible that the Germans
Intend to hold this line all Winter
and if they fortify their positions it is
quite possible that they can do so. It
Is said they can make no further move
into French territory.
"Around Rheims there Is now only
one point where the Germans have
heavy artillery and this consists of
only one big gun and 20 pieces of
smaller field artillery. These are all
Austrian. This artilery is near Berriu,
some oistance from the city, which.
however. Is well within the range of
the gun. This gun is a rapidly
moving piece, pulled by a motor
tractor, and contents Itself with
shot or two dally.
Trenehea Cloae Toa-ether.
"The German infantry lines, how
ever, are much farther advanced. The
German trenches at Betheny run in a
long unbroken line to the riglit by
Cernay. At no point are the French
trenches more than a few hundred
yards away.
The Germans have lost no ground
since the French captured Rheims.
There is continual sniping from the
trenches. The ground between the
trenches is thickly covered with barbed
wire entanglements.
"Four hundred German prisoners
were taken Thursday and brought into
Rheims. They made the customary
German complaints of extreme hunger
but the French are beginning to be
skeptical as to these complaints for
the prisoners bear no signs of famish
ment.
Artillery and Spies Efficient.
"The German officers boast that the
German strength lies in the superiority
of their artillery and the efficiency of
their spy system, both of which have
been only too-well proved during the
campaign. The German lines show
frequent signs of activity calling for
constant watchfulness in this vicinity.
"In the meantime the artillery duel
along the Eastern part of the Aisne
Valley is being continued with great
violence Although the allies Beem to
hold the advantage, the battle here is
far from ended and the strong fortified
positions held by the Geisnans will
call for exceptional measures."
PRETEXDElt CHAFES IX EXILE
Orleans Complains at Law That. Pre
vents His Fighting for France.
PARIS, Oct. 27. The Duke of Orleans,
pretender to the French throne, has
written a letter to Cardinal Lucon,
archbishop of Rheims, saying that his
exile, which never before had been so
hard to bear, had prevented his making
earlier a protest against the bombard
ment or the Rheims cathedral. Being
the son of those who for centuries had
crowned their Kings in the cathedral,
the Duke says that his regret over the
damage to the edifice is extreme.
The letter then complains that the
law acts as a bar to his fighting for
France.

LONDON, Oct. 27. The Daily Mail's
uergen correspondent quotes the Saxon
State Gazette for the following state
ment made by a general in the Ad
jutant-General's office In the war de
partment at Berlin:
"The English watch on our naval
stations in the neighborhood of Hell
golaml is almost impossible. It will
become quite impossible when Bel
gium and the north coast of France
to the mouth of the Seine are in Ger
man hands.
"In course of time- we shall possess
Calais and -probably Dieppe and Havre.
Our 12-inch howitzers have the large
range of 14 miles and the 17-inch
still greater range. England can ex
pect still more artillery surprises.
Even if we cannot shoot from the
French coast to the English coast.
safety zone could be made for German
ships covering more than half the
navigable water.
"The French . harbors will serve as
bases for torpedo boats, submarines.
cruisers and Zeppelins and can be made
impregnable from the sea by a double
or triple row of mines. If this triple
field should be laid from the French
coast to the English coast then Ports
mouth and Plymouth would be cut off
from the North Sea and connection
around Scotland would be difficult.
"The possibility of laying such
mines is not doubted, as they could be
laid under cover of artillery. Our sub
marine and torpedo division also would
come into action. An invasion
England would be easily possible."
Neutrals to Prevent Conditional Con

Nations.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27. American
shippers can send cotton -to Germany
ana Austria without Interference by
ureat JBntain.
Arrangements are being -made be
tween various neutral countries In
.curope proviaing against the re
exportation of conditional contraband
to belligerent countries.
Commerce between neutral countries
will not be hindered in the least by
Great Britain as long as cargoes are
specifically consigned. American ship
pers will be supported in their claims
against belligerents if American car
goes are lost when carried in bellig
erent bottoms.
These are the chief principles of the
shipping situation which the State De
partment has worked out in diplomatic
negotiations with Great Britain, whose
cruisers are in 'practicaly control of
trans-Atlantic commerce.
Baron Von Schoen, attache of the
German Embassy, was formally ap

the State Department, of Great Brit
