LONDON, Dec. 11. A dispatch to the
Iuily Mail from Its correspondent at
Kraguyevatz, Servia. says:
"The Austrian debacle is now an es
tablished fact. The Servians drove a
wedge into the center of the Austrian
forces, shattering four army corps,
which are now in flight. The mass of
prisoners and captured material Is so
great that It cannot be tabulated.
"The Servians are pushing the pur
suit vigorously and successfully.
Prisoners Block Road.
"The roads In the rear of the Servian
army are blocked with Incoming pris
oners, who appear satisfied that their
ordeal is over. Kntire battalions are
seen marching under guard of a hand
ful of Servians, while many groups of
prisoners come In absolutely unat

sued at Vienna today by the Austrian
army Headquarters staff says:
fart .01 our troops in Servia en

Revolt Is Reported.
"On December 8 we captured 20 guns
and took numerous prisoners.

correspondent, has created a deep im
pression in Vienna.
GAINS MEASURED BY YARDS
(Continued From Kirst Fare.)
ceinde to the east of Ypres, November
-!. In. this last mentioned engage
ment the Germans evidenced great en-
orgy in their offensive. Some of the
attacking force was killed on the para
pets of our trenches. No fewer than
150 corpses were found In front of one
trench.
Advances Recorded In Tarda.
"From one end to the other of the
northern section our infantry has made
advances and won ground. In the re
gion of Straiite, November 29, we ad
vanced between 100 and 150 yards at
v eldhoek and the same day we made
60 yards at Swartelen. The following
clay we advanced 150 yards at the Inn
at Kortmekcr, and on December 4 we
progressed more than 500 yards in the
region of Langemark, and on the next
day. December 5, we made more than
00 yards in the region of D'Agny. We
won 100 yards in the region of Mametz
on December 1, and our advance on De
ceniber 4 amounted to about 200 yards
in the region or Andechy, Ovillers and
1' ricourt.
"Several infantry engagements are
worthy or special mention. The en
Kagement which resulted in giving us
me nouse or me rerryman, the position
of which has been Indicated in previous
oiriciai communications, was narticu
larly brilliant. Several German trenches
were occupied, one after the other.
"The operation was one of the most
laborious accomplished by our troops.
It was a question of driving away from
the left bank of the Yser the Germans.
The Yser Canal is flanked at this point
hy an impassable swamp. Aa a result,
the attack could be made only by fol
lowing along the bank of the canal
and against an exceedingly narrow
front. Furthermore, the right bank of
the canal, where the enemy was in
stalled at a distance of less than 150
yards, dominates the left bank, which
is under the fire of machine guns.
"The assault on the house of the fer
ryman was undertaken by a detach
ment of 100 volunteers from the Afri
can battalions. Our soldiers fought in
the water up to tbeir waUts and in a
violent rain storm. The Germans gave
evidence of the greatest courage. Our
men found It necessary to kill an of
ficer and 15 soldiers who refused to
surrender. In the house of the ferry
man, now effectively arranged as a
field fort, we found 35 dead men, In
cluding two officers, who had been
killed by our howitzer sheila In addi
tion, we counted 200 German dead at
this place.
Much War Material Captnrrd.
"The French attack on the park and
the Chateau of Vernelles was no less
remarkable. Two detachments o
Algerian cavalry, operating on foot and
srtned with rifles and bayonets, to
gether -Rilli three companies of -in-lantry,
wire assigned to this operation,
on the morning December 1 the forces.
Hssailed from all sides, fled from the
rark, endeavoring vainly to screen
themselves in the chateau. The next
flay and the day following every counter-attack
of the enemy was repulsed
one of our pieces of artillery.. audac
iously rushed to the front, demolished
ui nouses wnich were
.-erving as shelter for the Germans. Our
infantry captured during these tiayt
war material of all kinds.
"Further to the south another at
tack on the Town of Fay also served
to give proof of the spirit with which
our men undertook offensive opera
tions. On November 28 French troops
reached the first barbed-wire entan
glements of the enemy and cut them
with wire shears. They at once en
trenched themselves on the ground thus
gained. During all that night the
enemy did not cease a constant fusil
lade. Seeond Entanglement Encountered.
"Our sharpshooters, nevertheless, con
tinued the destruction of the wire
entanglements, making use of shears
and melenite bombs. On November 30
after having been successful In pass
ing the first set of entanglements, they
lound a second series of wire defenses.
A fusillade from machine guns and
hand grenades, sustained all day. In
flicted heavy losses on our men. Not
withstanding this, they were success
ful in protecting and holding the con
quered ground, an advance of 400
yards. Mention should bo made also
of the magnificent infantry engage
ment which took place between No
vember 28 and November 30 to the
north of Ecurle. In the capture and
recapture of a strong system . of
trenches our soldiers gave evidence of
a courage and a tenacity that Is above'
ait praise.
"From the Oise to the Argonne, the
western portion of this section was
fairly quiet during the week ended
December 5. On November 30 French
artillery dispersed certain columns of
txerman Infantry at a point to the
north of Fort Conde. The artillery
of the enemy showed little activity and
our troops were enabled to perfect
meir aerensive organization.
French TVIn Artillery Duel.
In Champagne our artillery has
been notably successful. On November
27 one of our Datteries of 76-miUl
meter guns demolished a piece of Ger
man artillery or 105 millimeters at a
point west of Presles. while at the
same time our heavy artillery silenced
the fire of the enemy in the region
of Rouge Maison.
"It is interesting to record that the
increasing activity of our artillery
along this part of the front has had
the effect of reducing our dally losses
among the infantrymen from an aver
age of 100 to about 20 men a day.
"November 29 we destroyed a caisson.
six machine guns and a battery of
artillery belonging to the enemy, and
on the same day we silenced his artil
lery at Blanc Chateau. On November
30 we silenced the fire of the German
artillery, which was shelling Toissy.
"On December 1 we destroyed a bat
tery of German . artillery on the
plateau of Craonne, and on the follow
ing day we demolished a shelter and
some machine guns In the vicinity of
vaucierc ,
Guns Bombarding; Rhelma Silenced.
"December 2 and the day following
we caused an .explosion of several de
pots of ammunition, and on December
4 and 5 we reduced to silence the
artillery of the enemy which was fir
ing on Rheims. Furthermore, we bom
barded certain German supply trains
in the vicinity of Amifontalne and of
Guignicourt. Generally speaking, the
replies of the German artillery have
been without spirit.
On December 2 the enemv endeav.
ored to blow up the bridge at Berry-au-Bac
by making use of a boat loaded
with explosives. This boat was stopped
and sunk before It did any damage.
ine only successes of the German
artillery in this region have consisted
in two br three bombardments of
Rheims. One of these, delivered the
day- that the journalists of neutral
countries visited the city, was partic
ularly violent.
Germnna Active Along Mense.
"It Is In the sector stretching from
the Argonne to the heights of the
Meuse that the enemy has shown the
greatest activity. Here is a list of his
attacks:
"November 27. three attacks to the
north of Departs; November 28, four
attacks at the same place; December 1.
one attack at Fontaine Madame,
December 2, two attacks at the forest
of La Grurie and one at Fontaine
Madame; December 3, two attacks at
the forest of La Grurie; December 4.
two attacks at this same forest, one
at Fontaine Madame, and two in the
forest of Bollante; December 5, one
attack at Fontaine Madame and three
attacks accompanied by the beating of
drums and the playing of fifes at a
point to the north of Deparis.
"All these attacks were repulsed with
great vigor. In the three last men
tioned engagements the Germans left
on the battle field nearly 1000 men
dead and wounded.

Company Annihilated in Trench.
"On December 1, near St. Hubert, the
Infantry blew up and then occupied a
German field position. On December 4
our infantrymen occupied several
trenches, captured a number of prison
ers and advanced 150 yards. The Ger
man general staff haa aM

DENVER, Dec. 10. That Judge Jesi e
G. Northcut, attorney for the coal op
erators, had attempted to influence his
actions while he was In charge of the
strike In the Southern Colorado coal
fields developed today at the hearing
of the Federal Commission on Indus
trial Relationa from the testimony of
Adjutant-General Chase.
"He was always trying to tell me
what to do. how to do it and when to
do it." exclaimed Chase.
"Did you carry out his Instructions?"
he was asked.
"I should say not," replied Chase.
Captain Refnsea to Tell.
So scrupulous was Captain Philip S.
Vancise, Company K, First Infantry, as
to the binding force of his oath as a
member of the. military commission not
to reveal the proceedings of that com
mission, which Investigated the acts of
Company B in the battle of Ludlow,
that he was not content with the re
lease given by Adjutant-General Chase
and he insisted upon a release from
Governor Amnions. The latter refuse-!
to release him, telling him he must
"use his own judgent," and he declined
to give the commission certain Infor
mation regarding the proceedings.
Major E. J. Boughton, judge advo
cate, who followed Vancise on the wit
ness stand, discussed the proceedings
of the commission, of which he, too,
was a member and ranking officer.
without restraint
Major Amused at Secrecy.
"I was amused to hear Captain Van
cise say he could not give this infor
mation," he said. "The oath pledges
secrecy except when called upon by a
court of competent jurisdiction. - I hold
that this court is such."
Major Boughton then explained in de
tail the manner by which the commis
sion conducted the inquiry.
Captain Harold G. Garwood, com
manding a militia cavalry troop, ap
peared to testify briefly that Lieuten
ant Garry Lawrence, of Company B,
First Infantry, had recruited from 15
to 25 mine guards into a company of
infantry without specific Instructions to
do so. r
Lieutenant Linderfelt, of Company B,
who handled the machine gun at Ber
wind, was a "gentleman in every re
spect," according to Major W. C. Danks.
Before the battle of Ludlow, on April
20, 1913, ho said he had suggested to
Major Boughton that LInderfelt be
"eliminated" from the National Guard
for the "good of the service," because
of reports concerning him.
Women Sheltered in Well.
The only civilian who testified today
was M. L. Low, keeper of the Colorado
& Southern Railroad pumphouse, just
outside the Ludlow strike colony.
1 ane me, daddy, there s going to be
a fight," said his little daughter early
on April zu, just as the shooting began.
For two hours they waited until there
was a lull in the firing, during which
nearly 200 bullets went through his
nouse, and then they ran for shelter.
Meanwhile he had directed about 70
women and children, refugees from the
strike colony, how to descend into the
well, where they stayed until nightfall.
He and his daughter finally fled for
sarety across the battlefield. He had
been made apprehensive previously by
a report mat Lieutenant LInderfelt had
ordered that in case of trouble to "kill
tho old that runs the
pumphouse."

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 10. Collector
Davis, of the Port of San Francisco,
was requested today by Secretary
Daniels to forward all available par
ticulars about the activities of the
German steamship Mazatlan, owned
here by Frederick Jebsen, a German
reservist.
The Mazatlan was permitted to clear
from here on August 23 under $30,000
bonds to deliver a cargo of sacked
coal at Guaymas, Mex. G. IX Smith a
British subject, who made the voyage
to Guaymas aa a wireless operator,
later testified to Collector Davis that
the coal was lightered at Guaymas
aboard the German freighter Marie,
which delivered it to a German cruiser
at sea.
This testimony, however, had not
come to hand when the Mazatlan re
turned to San Francisco, and on Oc

clear for Mexican ports with a mis

been reported as far south as Acapulco,

FIRST CHINESE CASE FAILS
Conspiracy Charges at Seattle Not
Sustained try Jury.
SEATTLE, WashT Dec 10. Frank
H. Tape. ex-Chinese Interpreter in the
Federal immigration service, China
Das and Chin Kim, accused ot con
spiring to intimidate Government wit
nesses, were found not guilty today by
a Jury In the United States District
Court
The Jury deliberated three hours.
The defendants were accused of hav
ing attempted to Intimidate witnesses
against Tape on a charge of smuggling
Chinese into this country. The Gov
ernment also alleged that they war
responsible for the murder of Lum
Kong, a Government witness, who was
killed in Chinatown September 26. The
defense contended that Lvm Kong was
killed by Chin Gow, who subsequently
was found dead In a Japanese lodging
house, as the result of a private feud.
As soon as the Jury acquitted the
defendants on the conspiracy charge,
China San was rearrested on a charge
of smuggling Chinese and the Gov
ernment proceeded with the trial of
Tape on the original charge of smug-
prlinfr aliens.
