TTTE MOT?XTXG . OTIEGONIAN, TUESDAY, NOVE3TTCETI 24, 1914. - - GERMANS- SUFFER' FROTfl ICY WINDS Troops Grow Impatient a,t De lay by Cold, Yet Cannon- . ading Continues. ALLIES WELL ENTRENCHED In Belgium's Inundated Country Stand British, Belgian and French Troops Behind Frozen Dikes Thousands Die, PAHIS, Nov. 23. 10:45 P. M. The following: communication was Issued tonight: "Today, as yesterday, there was can nonading in the north in the direction of Solssons and Rheims. "In the Argonne there was violent attacks by both side, which, however, were without results." THIELT, Belgium, No. 23. (Via The Hagu and London.) There are clear indications that "General November" will take a leading part in the opera tions along the front by the Tser Klver. Teh days of cold, wet weather have been followed by three days of frost over the entire territory outlined by the cities of Middelkerke, Thourout, Thlelt, Roulers and Tpres. Much of this region is covered with stubble ' field, over which there is a coating of Ice, making it almost im passable for man or beast. The German troops are living in the ruins of two scores of villages and small cities. They are becoming im patient at the delay and are suffering from the icy winds which penetrate the wlndowless buildings in which they seek shelter. General Attack Preferred. They would prefer a general attack to finish the battle, but any such sud den movement Is prevented by the in undation along their front. The water covered territory is now crusted with a thin coating of ice, which supports large colonies of hungry, seagulls. Thousands of lives have been lost in this area without effecting any deci sive changes. . On the other side of the inundated country, safely entrenched behind frozen dikes, stand the British, Belgian and French guns. The soldiers there, on account of di rect communication with France and England, are well cared for, while the Germans are handicapped by being obliged to requisition supplies from the devastated country where the pop ulation is dependent upon American charity. Gasoline Running Low. The automobile supply system of the Germans is working less satisfactorily, wing to the growing scarcity of gaso line. The Germans are awaiting with great hopes the arrival of engineers whose duty It will be to find some means of crossing the Inundated territory, but the methods which are to be employed. If decided upon, are being kept secret. Meanwhile, a strong second line of defense is being prepared by the Ger mans. It runs from Courtral to Ingel munster, Wardamme, Oostcamp, Bruges and Blankenburghe. Trenches are be ing constructed along this line and cannon are being set up to make ready for any eventuality.

The paper says Germany thus far has strictly observed the declaration of London and has not changed Its atti tude, despite "the flagrant violations committeed by its adversaries," and adds: "However, the imperial government now must study the question whether It will be able to continue to maintain the above attitude, if the enemy powers abide by the procedure observed by them and if the neutral powers allow such violations of the principles of neutrality to go on to the detriment of German Interests. "The Imperial German government considers it, therefore., of interest to learn which position the neutral pow ers intend to take toward the attitude adopted by Great Britain and France contrary to international law and par ticularly whether it is their intention to take measures against the acts of violence committed on their merchant vessels against German subjects and German property.
