WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. Secretary
Daniels received messages today from
Captain Decker of th cruiser Tennes

North Carolina acknowledging receipt
of his order that no action be taken

Information regarding the shots fired
at the Tennessee's launch at Smyrna
a. few days ago and the State Depart
ment also was without advices from
Mr. Morgenthau.
Secretary Daniels said he thought
Captain Decker had sent as much in
formation about the incident as was
available to him. and probably now was
waiting to get into communication
with Ambassador Morgenthau before
ending a complete report.

while the latter endeavored to get in
communication with the Consul-Gen-eral
at Smyrna and learn the exact
Cause of the firing.
State Department officials estimated
that from recent delays in messages
from Constantinople they should hear
tomorrow or Sunday from Ambassador
Morgenthau on the incidents connected
with the firing. They had no doubt,
however, that all would be satisfac
torily explained.
Cruiser May Stay Near Greece.
It la considered probable that as a
result of the mining of several Turk

Ottoman government on account of the
presence of foreign warships, even of
neutral nations
near their coast, the
American cruiser may be kept at Chios.

There seemingly was much confusion
aboard the Goeben when the Russian

she open fire at once.
- The Russian fleet steamed in battle

The Russian flagship LevstafI opened
a broadside with her 12-inch guns, hit

Best Germans in Poland.
JTho Morning Post's Petrograd cor
respondent Bays:
In the new invasion of Poland the
Germans are using their finest troops
and depending for the first time lit the
eastern campaign on manhood instead
of machinery.
"As far as we know, the Russians
will continue to retire until the place
fixed upon by Grand Duke Nicholas,
the Russian commander-in-chief, for
the final effort is reached. Meanwhile
the Germans are engaged In enormous
engineering works to defend Berlin, 50
miles east of the capital at Kustrln,
where the Warthe flows into the Oder."
An early capture by the Russians
of the Austrian stronghold at Prze-
mysl, in Galicia, and temporary
checks both of the German ad
vance along the Vistula, in Russian
Poland, and the Russian offensive near
Angerburg, in East Prussia, are indi
cated in dispatches received here to
night from Petrograd and Berlin.
The capture of Tarnow and Wlo-
llczka, in Galicia, by the Austro-Ger-
man forces, also is reported in a di
patch from Vienna, which says 7000
prisoners were taken. "
Trenches surrounding the forts at
Przemysl are in possession of the Rus
ans, according to the Petrograd dls
patch, which adds that the siege is
rapidly approaching an end.
Quantities of lime In the captured
trenches confirm the statements of
prisoners that cholera is raging in the
garrison of Przemysl, says the dispatch.
Berlin admits the Russians have cap
tured east of Mazurian Lakes a fort,
but adds that it had been abandoned
and contained only obsolete cannon.
That the Germans are progressing
to the south of Plock, in Russian Po
land, and that the Russian retreat con
tinues through Lipno and Neawaml, are
asserted in the dispatch, which adds
that the Lodz-Czenstochowa battle is
as yet undecided.
It is estimated that the Russian forces
in the field in Poland number 900.000.
Petrograd dispatches say the headquar
ters there do not consider the Austro
German offensive in that region cause
for apprehension. Berlin military ex
perts. on the other hand, declare that
this enormous number will enable the
Germans to bring about an early and
decisive victory, as the Czar's forces
necessarily are massed, making the Teu
ton offensive all the more effective.
Russia Claims Slight Gala.
The official Russian statement, con
tained in a Petrograd dispatch today,
follows:
The efforts of the Germans seem to
be aimed at tryiag to break down our
front between the Vistula and the
Warta.
"Our offensive on November 19 met
with partial successes.
"Northwest of Lodz we captured
battery of 70 artillery, 10 machine guns
and several hundred prisoners.
"Stubborn fighting on the Czenstoch
owa and Cracow front is developing
normally, on .November 17-18 we took
3000 Austrian prisoners.
'In Galicia we have occupied Wis

American Bankers, However, Expert
Favorable Outcome of Conference
With Sir George Falsh.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. Negotia
tions between Sir George Paish, rep
resenting the British government, and
the Federal Reserve Boa.rd and Ameri
can bankers probably will come to
conclusion here next week. Officials
familiar with the. progress of the con
ference are confident that an answer
to the American suggestions cabled to
London by Sir George will be received
either tomorrow or Monday. They are
hopeful the reply will be favorable.
No great surprise is felt here at the
delay In getting such an answer. Of
ficials point to recent events in Eng
land for reason in believing no more
speed could be expected. The principal
point now in question is whether the
Bank of England will grant a cred
of 100,000,000 to take care of American
securities which may be offered for
sale when the London Stock Exchange
reopens. This fund might not be used
if the balance of trade is sufficient to
take up American indebtedness, but
American bankers are said to feel that
its creation would have a distinct sen
timental value, even if no large quan
tities of American stocks are sold In
London.

England, Though Admitted to Be

Seek Destruction of Enemy
by Indirect Methods.
BY REAR-ADMIRAL FRITZ HOFFMAN.
(The followlnr article, appearing In the
Deutsche Reveu, was written before the de
struction of the three Brltlah cruiser by tho
German submarine U-9. but this fact doe
nnt imnalr its value ii a technical exposi
tion of tha naval strategy of th warrlni
nations.)
So far the war on land has consisted
of a series of brilliant successes of
the Austro-German armies, both in tha
west and In the east; Servia and Bel
gium have been overrun by Austria
and Germany: the military power of
Russia and France has been shaken
English troops have been defeated re
peatedly In France, and England, In
consequence. Is incapable of raising
er ally, France, who lies crushed and
bleeding. -
In view of these truly extraordinary
esults along the eastern and western
frontiers many Germans who know lit
tle or nothing of the nature of naval
warfare cannot comprehend the stoical
placidity of the German and English
fleets in the North Sea, They realize
that the German navy has mobilized
with the same ease and order as the
army, know that Its men are Inspired
by the same spirit and courage and
that although the English fleet is al
most three times as large as the Ger
man fleet as regards number of vessels.
tonnage and ordnance, in morale and
energy the German marine, after hard
and thorough work in peace. Is su
premely qualified to cope with any ad
versary whatever.
German Accomplishments Reviewed.
Knowing all this. It la difficult for
the average German to understand why
there is such a dearth of results at
sea. They ask, "Why Is not something
done? What's the reason?"
We will explain briefly to tho man
who knows noCilng of naval warfare
Just what the German navy has ac
complished so far.
At the time when the secretary or
State of the Imperial Navy. Grand Ad
miral von Tlrpltz, submitted his plan
for the building of a powerful Ger
man fleet to the Reichstag he pointed
out that the purpose of the German
naval armament must be the creation
of a navy so strong that no hostile
power would dare to make a iooi-
hardy attack upon it for rear or sureer-
ing such severe losses tnat its own
Dower at sea would be Jeopardized
thereby or even completely lorienea.
Plainly the simplest way or com
passing this end was to engage the
enemy In a naval battle. Then, even
thou eh we were foredoomed to .defeat.
we would at least work such damage
to the enemy as virtually to annihilate
Its power.
Naval Battle Xot Yet Fought.
This naval battle has not yet ben
fought, for the reason that tho English
fleet has-avoided tne worm sea. ne
cently the London Times discussed the
reasons for this conduct. we quote
from the Times:
Admiral Sir John Jellicoe has ren
dered England a great service in keep
ing the German fleet off the high seas.
A large naval battle might bring about
the state of affairs outlined In the in
troduction to the German naval ordi
nance of 1900, which said In substance
that England would undoubtedly be the
victor In a naval engagement, but that
she must be made to pay so high a
price for her victory that for years
she would cease to be the mistress of
the seas."
Whil the .English fleet's determina
tion to avoidl a naval battle was pat
ent the German fleet sent scout cruis
ers Into English waters with instruc
tions not to avoid, but rather frankly
to engage the enemy as soon as lo
cated.
Why Germans Do Kot Attack.
Many a layman will here demand
why the German fleet does not attack
the enemy In Its own harbors.
Before attempting to reply to this
question It Is necessary to explain cer
tain technicalities of naval warfare, as
without knowing of these it Is impos
sible to form a mental picture of such
an engagement.
In naval warfare the primary objec
Is to destroy the hostile fleet In order
to gain supremacy of the seas. Four
methods are open to attain this goal:
1. A battle on the high seas, a naval
action between the two fleets. in the
open sea where there is no variation in
the topography of tha battlefield, that
it to say, of the water, and where, con
eequently, the strength of the fleet is
the principal factor to be reckoned
with; provided, of course, that the men
of both fleets are equal in morale and
training.
2. A skirmish of scout cruisers,
naval battle between parts of both
fleets for the purpose of securing in
formation, or possibly taking place In
waters which do not allow the entire
fleet to participate in the action, as, for
instance, in narrow streams, near
shallow coast, in the deltas of rivers,
etc, ,
3. A blockade occurring when It Is
necessary to bottle up a fleet well pro
tected by a sheltering coast and to
prevent it from reaching the open sea
by robbing it of its freedom of move
ment.
' 4. A battle along the coast, the pur
pose of which is ' to demolish coastal
fortresses, in order to clear the way
for reaching the enemy s fleet.
British Adopt Indirect Policy.
Which one of these four methods is
chosen by the fleet which attacks "de
pends upon many circumstaices, which
need not be enlarged upon here, i re
quently two or more of these methods
are employed in conjunction.
The present war has produced a curl
ous phenomenon. England, apparently
much the stronger, has hesitated to
bring about a quick conclusion of th
war by risking an attack. In all prob
ability she fears the inevitable losse
attendant upon an attack and refrain
from disabling the hostile fleet because
she hopes to compass tho undoing of
Germany in an indirect manner
through destruction of'- her export
trade. The future events of the war
will show whether the English govern
ment has committed a grave error in
pursuing this course.
We will now return to the often
asked question. "Why does the German
fleet not attack the enemy?" In view
of the foregoing the reasons for -this
inactivity must be perfectly plain.
The German fleet, which, In view of
Its manifest weakness, confidently ex
pected to be attacked by the English
fleet, had girded Itself to meet that
