(By wireless to Sayville, I I.) Among the Items given out tonight by the Official Press Bu reau for publication were the follow ing: . "It fs reported from Paris that the Oerman victory in Poland and the tak ing of Lodz by Field Marshal von I 'Hindenburg's army have been made known there, while these facts are still concealed in London, the same as has been the case with the loss of the British battleship Audacious, off the north coast of Ireland." GERMANS POUNDED BACK Continued From First Page.) of the battle as a thrust against the main army standing between the Vis tula Itiver and Lodz, while a wide flanking movement is in progress from the north from East Prussia and Aus-tro-German forces in Southern Poland lire operating vigorously to prevent the detachment of any reserves to assist the threatened Russian center. The German army in the center, the Major says, is faced with the task of thrusting its opponents back boldly, because the left wing of this army is now near Lowicz and has not advanced far enough toward the Russian lines of communication to exercise a decisive effect on the Russian retirement from Lodz. The northern force, operating from ICast Prussia, which stormed Przasnysz on December 9, has advanced about 25 miles into Poland, a quarter of the dis tance to Warsaw. Major Moraht be lieves any further advance may force the Russians to divert their strategic reserves at Warsaw to bead off this new danger. RUSSIANS BEST IN CHARGES Close Formation of Germans Entails Heavy, Fruitless Losses. (Special Correspondence of the New York Worid. OoovrlKht. 1S14. by the Press Pub lishinc Companv.) PETROGRAD, Dec. 11. The Ger mans continue their attacks on the va rious points of the Russian positions In Poland. With the moving up of strong reinforcements from the western front to the German side and the consequent changes in the disposition of the Rus sian forces, a trying period of prepara tion for another decisive battle on a titanic scale once more is entered upon. The Germans have moved up from the French front at least 300.00C troops and are busy concentrating for a final effort. In the fighting now reported daily each side is trying every device to penetrate behind the scr-en which hides the enemy's concentration. The Germans are utilizing cavalry for this purpose with considerable more freedom than hitherto noticed, but their aeroplane work has been curtailed owing to the Russians having learned the art of bringing down the flyers. Night attacks are another form of warfare which the Germans are beginning to utilize more frequently. The Germans, however, still stick to close forma tions, particularly it night, whereas the Russians go out individually at wide distances apart. The results nat urally correspond. The cost of life to the Germans is appalling and the re sults nil. ' The Russians go to work differently. A few volunteers Bcouting over the whole area first prepare the w .y. Then forces move up, widely extended. When the alarm is given the Germans usually find reason to be.ieve they are attacked at least on three side?, and often from the rear. From account, received, this appears to be the regular Russian mode of capturing German trenches. The failure costs little, as the scouts in ambush, even in the rer of the Ger man trenches, often manage to get safely home again, while success de moralizes the enemy. Russian Reverse Reported. BUDAPEST, via London. Dec l"l, 11 P. M. The newspaper Azest says that the County of Saros, Gallcia. has been evacuated by the Russians, who left by way of the Dukla Pass through the Carpathians, and that Bartfa again is in the possession of the Austrians. JAPANESE AID CREDITED CIirRCHILE, SATS IT AVAL VICTORY IS LARGELY DCB TO ALLY. While Britons Only Warships In At lantic Battle, It Ia Held Result of General Combination. LONDON. Dec. 11. Replying to his congratulations on the victory of the British squadron over the Germans off the Falkland Islands, Winston Spencer Churchill, E'lrst Lord of the Admiralty, today cabled the Japanese Minister of Marine as follows: "With the sinking of the Schnarn horst, Gneisenau, Leipzig and Numbers?, the whole German squadron, which had Its base at Tsing-Tau at the outbreak of the war, has been destroyed and the base itself "reduced and captured. "This event marks the conclusion of the active operations In which the allied fleets have been engaged in the Pacific Ocean for four months. Though it has fallen to a British squadron in the South Atlantic to strike the final blow. It was largely owing to the powerful and untiring assistance rendered by the Japanese fleet that this result has been achieved. "Had the enemy turned west again, the honors would have rested with the Japanese and Australian squadrons, moving forward in the general combi nation. . "The peace of the Pacific is now, for the time being, restored, and the com merce of all nations can proceed with safety throughout the vast expanse from the coasts of Mozambique to those of South America. The expulsion of the Germans from the east is complete, and with good and vigilant arrange ments by all a return by them should be rendered extremely difficult and hazardous. "I take the opportunity of your ex cellency's cordial message to express, on behalf of the British and Australian navies, earnest recognition of the in valuable naval assistance." CONTEST MOTION MADE ATTORNEYS ASK TO HAVE StTlT BY TOM Iff. WORD QUASHED. Contention Is That Law Has Not Been Compiled With a Mr. Hnrlbnrt Was Not Duly Notified. A motion to quash and set aside the contest of the recent election of T, M Hurlburt to the office of Sheriff, asked by Tom M. Word, unsuccessful candi date, was filed yesterday by Dan J. Malarkey, Seton & Strahan and Hurl burt & Layton, attorneys for Mr. Hurl burt. The motion is based on the conten tion that the law has not been com plied with by the contestant- It is set up that no summons or. citation or other process was served upon Mr. Hurlburt when the alleged pretended notice of contest of election was served. It is said . further that no tlmu place tharany hearing shall be held was stated in the notice. The contestee 'also relies upon the point that no action has been In stitued in court to contest the right of Mr. Hurlburt to the office of Sheriff, to which he has been declared elected. The contention is made that no peti tion has been filed in the case, as is provided by Lord's Oregon Laws, con testing the right of said contestee to election to the office of Sheriff and no bond has been given as required by law and no citation to answer any such petition has been issued as re quired or served upon the contestee.

POLICE DOUBLE VIGILANCE Chief Clark Orders His Men to . Comb City for Suspects Two Experienced Criminals Be lieved to Be Operating. RECENT HOLDUPS IN. PORT LAND. December 1 Bauer Brothers saloon, at Williams avenue and Ivy streets, held up by two masked men, who shot O. W. Tucker In the leg. took $15 from the cash register and escaped. ' December 9 L. M. Bowers, clerk In the Crocker drug store. Twenty-third and Marshall streets, said that he was held up in the store by two men. who took $75 from the cash register. December 10 Elvin Frederick son, 430 Magnolia - avenue, re ported that a team of highway men held him up and another man, whom he did not know, at First and Davis streets. The robbers got $35 from Frederick son and $45 from his companion. December 11. 1 A. M. Frank A. Tauscber, 882 East Burnside street, was held up In his auto mobile on Hawthorne avenue by two unmasked men, who got $65. December 11, 9:30 -P. M. C. Milton Moore was. held up by a lone highwayman In his store, at 229 Larrabee street, and relieved of $5. A highwayman held up the postcard and confectionery store of C. Milton Moore, 229 Larrabee street, at 9:30 last night, making a list of Ave successful holdups In Portland since Monday night. The robber got only $5 from the cash register. He was unmasked and car ried a huge revolver. Extraordinary police vigilance Is the result of the epidemic of holdups, and Chief of Police Clark has ordered his men to scour the city for men answer ing the descriptions given by the vic tims, and to arrest all suspects for fur ther investigation. That four of the robberies were '"two men jobs" Is taken by the police to mean that there are at least two ex perienced criminals in the city. Some of the holdups, however, are laid at he doors of local youths with dime Nivel tendencies. Because of the large number of "un employed men in the city Chief Clark expected there would be many at tempts at crime of various sorts and tl.e police were prepared. A reserve squad of 12 patrolmen and one ser geant is kept in the station at Second and Oak streets for any emergency. Police and detectives were on the ground at last night's holdup only a few minutes after the highwayman left the place. . They scoured the vicinity, but the man had evidently laid plans for his escape and he could not be found. In order to have men at the scene of any crime within the shortest possible time, detectives In all parts of the city last night reported to headquarters every half hour instead of every hour, so that they might be informed of any thing that happened in their locality. An epidemic of holdups such as the present has not occurred since last September, when the peregrinations of three highwaymen were stopped when John A. Lee. proprietor of the Army Canteen saloon, at Tenth and Couch streets, shot and killed one at them in a revolver dael following au attempt ed holdup. Shortly after the holdup of last night. Patrolmen Hewston and Evert arrested John Anderson and Frank Keller at the corner of Broadway and Larrabee. Anderson had In his possession a re volver and -ammunition and- a black mask. He is an ex-convlct, admitting having served two terms in Federal prisons for counterfeiting. The victim of the holdup, however, did not identify the man, but he Is being held, together with Keller, who was not Identified either. Keller had no gun. BIG WARSHIPS WANTED SECRETARY OW NAVY BELIEVES IN MORE DREADNOUGHTS. Secretary Indorses Programme. , Al though Reducing Number of Vessels of Each Class. WASHIXGTOX, Dec 11. Startling successes or submarines in the Euro pean war have not swayed United States Navy officials from their belief that all-big-gun battleships of the areaanougnt type form the main de pendence of any sea power. The con struction of two such ships next year was recommended by Secretary Daniels in his annual report submitted today to President Wilson. The Navy gen eral board urged the building of four. The complete building programme for the coming year recommended bv Sec retary Daniels comprises two dread noughts, six destroyers, eight or more submarines, one to be a large, sea' going craft and the others of smaller size for coast defense operations; one gunboat and one fuel oil shit). II this programme Is followed out Mr. Daniels says, "the Increase will be noteworthy and will give us a well- rounded Navy, equal, if not superior. to that of any navy in the world, ship tor snip and man for man. Secretary Daniels' programme, he says, follows the policy of the general board recommendations, but reduces the number of ships of each class asked for. The board reeommendedthe construction of the following as the 1916 programme: Four dreadnoughts, 16 destroyers, three sea-going subma rines. 16 coast defense submarines, four scout cruisers, four gunboats, two fuel oil ships, one destroyer tender, one submarine tender, one Navy transport, one hospital ship, one supply ship and a $5,000,000 appropriation for Navy aircraft. The board was acting on Its policy looking to the completion in 1919 of a fleet, the main line of which would be 48 battleships. In Its report trans mitted by the Secretary, it is said that the present situation of the battleship fleet is 10 ships behind that programme, the total of those in commission, under construction and authorized for com pletion in 1919 being 37. Submarines come in for extended dis cussion by the Secretary and the gen eral board. "Recent developments in tiaval warfare," Mr. Daniels says, "have strengthened faith in the efficacy of the submarine. The department urges, therefore, the construction of an In creased number of submarines and the larger utilization of this weapon of warfare which has demonstrated Its effectiveness. There are many (many more than a few weeks ago) who be lieve the time has come when the ad vice of Sir Percy Scott should be taken. Months ago that able English -officer declared that the submarine was the most effective ship of the navy of the future and advised a cessation in the rapid construction of dreadnoughts and the utilization of the money thus spent in building large numbers of subma rines. "The lay mind has accepted this view of the policy, but the trained naval officers making up the central board are convinced, that, while the submarines have a large part to play in naval warfare, they do not replace the larger craft. These naval states men hold to the opinion that the dreadnought remains the central and chief fighting force of a well-proportioned navy. , "The Department feels that it is upon safe ground in looking to the board to prescribe the character of the ships to be constructed. The large increase in submarines is most desirable, but nothing in the present war has dis proved their faith in the modern dread nought. The fact that there has been no encounter between these powerful ships does not justify the conclusion that their further construction should be discarded In favor of the smaller craft, which has' astonished the world by its ability to-sink cruisers and other craft, giving its severest and most powerful blows before Its presence is discovered. It may be that naval engagements later on will teach les sons that will change expert opinion, but as long as the bulk of the ablest naval officers believe the Increase of the navy should embrace, in fair pro portion, the dreadnought, the destroyer and the submarine, the Secretary would not feel warranted in recommending a widely different programme of con struction. "That our navy has not neglected the construction of submarines will be seen by a comparison of our strength in this crart with that of foreign navies. It is roughly estimated that there are built or building for the various navies the following number of submarines: ' England, 84: France. 76; United States. SI; Germany, 31; Japan, 17. This estimate was made In July of this year. "When the relative sizes of the fleets of the great nations enumerated above are considered, it will be seen that the United States has a submarine flotilla relatively and actually exceedingly powerful. England's fleet Is more than twice as great as ours, yet she has little more that half as many more submarines. France has a consider ably larger submarine fleet than ours, with a smaller navy, but she has In the past taken the lead In submarine build ing. Some years ago she abandoned the dreadnought policy to acquire large numbers of submarines, but in the last two or three years she has made un usual exertions to repair her deficiency in dreadnoughts. Of aviation the Secretarv" says: "Aircraft have demonstrated In the present war in Europe that no military arm is complete which lacks them, They will not replace vessels of war. but will extend the field of operations to the air as well as on the surface of and underneath the water. They pro vide the best means for discovering submarine mines and have now be come an indispensable naval adjunct. "We are but In the Infancy of aircraft- The development in the manu facture of these craft In this country needs to be stimulated, ' and the suc cess of this arm of the military serv ice abroad will be a mighty stimulus to American manufacturers." Financial conditions resulting from tne European war have caused the De partment to refrain from asking this year for an Increase in personnel. Sec retary Daniels states, but says a plan will be presented to . Congress next session for the organization of a com petent naval reserve force from the men . who receive honorable discharges from the Navy.
