PRZEMYSL, Austrian Poland (Gall
eial, Oct. SO. Last evening while we
skidded down the hill toward the River
San, the flashes of Russian artillery
fire 12 miles to the eastward pulsed
through the night mist like reddish
heat lightning:. Tet then, as we passed
the sentries of the outer and the Inner
fortifications, where nothing- was visi

masses of wire entanglements, and re

you could hear no detonations; nor any
throughout the night In this long-beleaguered
Austrian stronghold.
But certainly a battle was on. In
the streets our headlights struct the
blinking eyelids of endless flies of
gray infantry trudging afield under
their cowskin knapsacks; and toward
midnight In the Cafe Stleber It was
being whispered that again the Rus
sians were attempting to surround the
city.
Eastern Battle la Greatest.
To this place from the Austrian staff
headquarters, as the crow flies. It is
scarcely BO miles, but by motorcar
and rail it took us force "days and
nights. As to both mud and land
scape, you might have been touring
the Piedmont region of Virginia. The
single-track railroad was all but
blocked with returning hospital train
trains of wounded, of Russian prisoners.
Red Cross trains going Cor ward; each
with no less than two engines and two
dozen cars. Remember, that for all one
reads of France and Belgium, this
eastern war theater Is by far the great

numbers engaged.
The line extends for 600 kilometres
south-southwest of Warsaw, now that
the German and Austrian armies are

6,000,000 men In arms face one another
In practically unending battle. ,
Scene Like That of Civil War.
But mere figures are a weak wonder.
A nearer marvel lies in the contrast,
both human and military, between the
war here and the war in the west; and
in that difference there is a resemblance
of significance for Americana Yester

high divide between two forks of the
Ban, no veteran of our war of the seces

lowing birches and believed his eyes.
Arms bandaged in slings, limping, brac
ing themselves with sticks, the wound

afoot, mind you, in muddy, gray uni
forms and high-fronted caps, almost
the exact color and design of the
South's. It was 1864, not 1S14. It was
as if the years between had profited
mankind nothing, the world had not
moved since then.
In the last letter I cited the likeness
of a British to an Austrian headquar
ters; but outside the headquarters there
is the grim, laborious opposite to that
swift and deadly "petrol" war in
France. Into the railroad station rolled
a train of wounded, of bearded crea
tures crowding the wide doors of lug
gage vans, staring at you from their
swathlngs with the meek daze of the
discarded conscript. The hind car was
a passenger carriage. Two men in
gloves, clad from head to foot in white
rubber, stood on the platform. There
was a stretcher outside the last com'
partment. Two soldiers were lugging
a limp body from It, by the head and
heels, as one does a dead man. Re sank

the tensing of one muscle. He was

slow but general movement of the
French In Alsace against the German
landwehr forces. The movement also
has begun in Lorraine. Burnhaupt.

The Vosges Mountains are so deep in
snow that at Tete-de-Faux,' near Col-du-Bonhomme,
at an altitude of 7680
feet, the advance guards of the armies
are fighting in snow two feet deep. The
men in the trenches in Alsace are suf

PARIS, Dec 4. A dispatch to Temps
from Geneva says:
"The Federal Council has issued a
communication declaring that there is
renewed activity by the French and
German forces in Upper Alsace. Be
tween Pfetterhausen and the French
frontier, on the route of Rechezy, the
French have placed batteries of heavy
artillery southwest of Pfetterhausen,
between the village and the frontier of
Switzerland: the French also have
prepared entrenchments , and barbed
wire obstacles.
"The Germans have constructed for

LONDON, Dec 5. Experts estimate
that the Germans lost two-thirds of

fighting In the ' region between the
Warthe and Vistula rivers, says a dis
patch from Petrograd to the Morning
Post
The message refers to the delay In
the arrival of Russian reinforcements.
which enabled the Germans to break
through the surrounding ring, and
adds:
"As It was, a large number of Ger
mans got out of the trap, and the sub
sequent fighting has been a curious
tactical spectacle, with the Russians
and Germans in alternate strips cov
ering a considerable area.
Attacks Are Alternated.
"The Germans have alternated furi
ous attacks with retreat fighting, and
the information vouchsafed is insuffi
cient to show how final success can be
obtained." .
BERLIN. Dec 4. (Special.) Al
though no newB has been received of
the operations in the vicinity of Lowlcz,
It is assumed that the Germans' attempt
to flank the Russian right is continu
ing, according to a report issued to
night by the military headquarters.
The value of this movement. If suc
cessful, would consist In forcing the
Russians southward ' away from , the
route to Warsaw and toward the rear
of their main army. Much .depends on
the progress of the Germans and Aus-
trians facing the enemy's center and
left flank. So far they have maintained
their position and repulsed all attacks.
but whether they have been able to
advance is not yet known.
Rnalui Believed Weakened,
The fact that the Russians have lost
100,000 prisoners and many guns, the
latter of which cannot easily be re
placed, is considered by critics here aa
bound to weaken them seriously.

ENGINEERS WANT
SHARE OF PROFITS
Frank Admission Made
at Wage Hearing.
RATE STANDARD IS SOUGHT
Brotherhood Chief Declares
Overtime Is Unusual.
COMPARISONS ARE MADE
Railway Employes Quote Eastern
Manager in Favor of Theory Men
- Should Share In Increased
Productivity of Labor.
CHICAGO, Dec 4 Interest In the ar
bitration of demands made on Western
railroads by their enginemen swirled
today about a basts on which the men
assert their wages should be figured.
A frank admission that the men con
sider themselves entitled to share in
all profits from the operations of the
roads was a feature of the hearing.
Another feature was the development
that the men seek at present the stand
ardization of rates only, while the rail
road managers assert that rates can
not be standardized without coincident
standardization of other issues.
Profit-Sharing Insisted On.
William S. Carter, president of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen, testified in a technical
way as to why the men consider it of
vital importance that their pay shall
be computed on the basts of the weight
of the locomotive which they drive on
its driving wheels. It was Carter,
likewise, who Insisted that the men
have a right to share in the profits
of their roads.
The only other witness of the day
was Samuel T. Stelnberger, a clerk em
ployed by the Brotherhood of Locomo
tive Firemen and Enginemen. He pro
duced exhibit four. a pamphlet which
gives the present rates ot pay on every
type of locomotive used on most of the
railroads party to the arbitration, as
Compared with the rates which the
compilation-purports to show would be
paid if the proposed schedule of rates
were awarded. ;
Overtime Demand Ucanauai.
Warren S. Stone, grand chief engineer
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi
neers and cbJef of counsel for the men
in the arbitration, brought out that an
engineer or fireman might run his loco
motive for months without overtime
accruing. He contended that for prac
tical purposes- the comparison submitted
was sufficient to gauge the general ef
fect, with approximate accuracy, of
placing the demands of the men into
effect.
"In the course of Carter's testimony.

Friday's War Moves
THERE Is still lacking reliable
news of the progress of the
battle in Poland, which continues to
monopolize Interest. An unofficial dis
patch from Petrograd says the battle
of Lodz has ended In success for the
Russians, but this statement is opposed
to that of the Berlin official report,
which says the German offensive in
Poland is taking its normal course.
The fact is that the fighting in this
region has developed into such a jum
ble that It is almost Impossible to fol
low It. The most Important factor from
the allies' point of view Is that the
German advance on Warsaw seemingly
has not succeeded in its object, nor has
it had the effect ot diverting the Rus
sians from their forward movement
through the Carpathians and onto the
plains of Hungary, or against the for
tress of Cracow, around which they
are drawing a ploser ring of men and
artillery.
Taking into consideration the case
of Przemysl, which has held out so
long against the Russian attacks, mili
tary men do not look for the early fall
of Cracow and are rather Inclined to
believe that the armies of Emperor
Nicholas will endeavor to keep the
large Austrian force Inside the fortress
and enter Silesia from the southeast.
Much depends, however, on the battle
which is being fought with Buch inten
sity further north between the rivers
Vistula and Warta, and In which all
agree the losses on both sides have been
very heavy. There is an inclination to
believe that had there been any proba
bllity of an early success for the Ger
mans In this field Emperor William,
who has returned to Berlin, would have
remained to witness the victory of his
troops.
"The battle in the west appears to be
at a standstill. The allies and the Ger
mans have attempted to take the of
fensive at different points along the
front, but as neither claim to have
made any advance and as both official
reports mention repulses of the enemy.
It is evident that the attacks which
have been made have not met with
much success.
Under the title "Four Months of
War," the French Bulletin of the
Armies is publishing a report of the
entire operations of the war. In it the
explanation is made that the French
were unable to take the offensive until
the British army was ready and that
the advance into Alsace, which has been
criticised as bad strategy, was de
signed to draw the Germans from the
Belgian front. This plan did. not suc
ceed. It says, and the allies were driven
back to the Seine.
The arrival of Australian and New
Zealand contingents in Egypt on 40
transports Is quoted as another tri
umph for. the British Navy. The Ger
man cruiser Emden was not far from
this fleet of transports when she was
overtaken and destroyed by the Aus
trallan cruiser Sydney. . It Is taken for
granted, however, that the convoy of
the transports was so strong that even
the Emden would not have dared attack
them.
The statement made In the Italian
Parliament by Premier Salandra that
Italy should maintain her attitude of
watchful and armed neutrality has cre
ated much Interest in London and sym
pathy is expressed for the aspirations
of the Italian people.
SHORT LIFE GIVEN BRIDGE
Commissioner Dleck Opposes Add
ing to Bnrnslde Overload.
Supplementing a report made re
cently to the effect that the diversion
of traffic from the Steel bridge to the
Burnslde bridge by reason of the pro
posed closing of the Steel bridge De
cember 8, would cause an extremely
heavy overload on the Burnslde struc
ture. Commissioner Dieck yesterday is
sued a second report in which it is
said the proposed change would reduce
the Mfe of the Burnslde bridge ma
terially. It Is asserted in the report
that the bridge has an overload at
present. Engineers have estimated that
the structure will be worn out in
about eight years under present con
ditiona.
To Increase the burden would curtail
the lite of the structure materially, the
report says.
EDISON DENOUNCES HIS ACT
