AT RUSSIAN FRONT
New Efforts Made to Pene

, Marching on Warsaw.
EFFORT REPORTED FAILURE
Fighting Especially Furious in Rc
lon of Oracow Invaders of
East rrussLa rencounter
Glgantlo Redoubts.
PETROGRAD, Nov. 21. An official
communication Issued from general
headquarters tonight says:
"The fighting between the Vistula
and Warthe and on the Cracow-Czen-Btochowa
front continues.
"In East Prussia yesterday only des
ultory firing occurred. In Eastern
Callcla the Russian troops are still Ad
vancing. Heavy Goau I.o Reverted.
The official organ of the general
etaff of the Russian army says:
"The Germans are making fresh ef
forts to penetrate our front between
Lowlcs and Sklernievlco, with the ob
ject of marching on Warsaw. It seems
that the enemy threw Important forces
in this direction. The effort of the
Oermans to march on Warsaw by pene
trating our front between Klelyo and
Radom resulted in total failure and our
troops forced the enemy to retire all
along this front. The Germans lost
enormous numbers In dead, wounded
and prisoners, as well as provision
trains, artillery and war material.
"On November 18, Important Austro
German forces, supporting themselves
on the fortified country between Czen
etochowa and Cracow, undertook an en
ergetic offensive movement against our
troops. Repulsed on all this front with
heavy losses, the enemy Initiated a
fresh offensive movement, but again
our forces, by a counter attack, drove
them back with heavy lossea
Klghllmr Kagca Near Cracow.
"We took a large number of pris
oners. "It la announced that there Is furious
fighting in the region of Cracow, the
Germans realizing . that this position,
with Its strong fortifications. Is their
last protected position on this front."
The advance of the Russians Into the
Mazurlan Lakes region of Eastern
Prussia, near Johannlsburg and Arys,
has revealed the extent of the prepara
tions made by the Germans to resist in
vasions. The whole region is described
as a gigantic fortress, facing to the
east and south In the form of a semi
circle, 90 miles in extent.
The spaces between the lakes, which
range from marshy ponds by the hun
dreds to bodies of water 10 miles long,
are entrenched with wire fences. At
Intervals there are earthen redoubts,
which are reinforced with seme stone
work and protected by mine fields.
"Wherever it Is practicable canals have
been dug. Behind these canals lie
German trenches.
Concrete Blockhonsea-Stormed.
At Arys, where the Russians are re
ported to have made a considerable ad
vance In the last few days, they have
been compelled to storm concrete block
houses, resulting In some -Instances in
heavy loss of life.
Improved conditions in Gallcla are
indicated by the fact that communica
tion by rail between Kiev and Lemberg
wts re-established.
BERLIN, Nov. 21, by wireless. The
meager news received from Russian
Poland, given out In official circles
here today, indicates that the Germans
and the Russians have Joined In battle
along the whole front between the
Varta and tho Vistula rivers, while the
Russians to -the north of the Vistula
are reported to be falling back.
lierlln Reports Progress at Lodo.
An official communication given out
by German general army headquarters
today said:
"In the eastern war theater the
operations are still further developing.
Nothing can yet be reported regarding
the situation in East Prussia.
"The pursuit of the defeated enemy,
who was driven back through Mia wa
and Plock, continues. Our offensive at
Lodz has made progress.
"In the region to the east of Czen
1 stochowa our troops are fighting by
the side of our allies and have gained
ground."

DIKE AND DUCHESS OK BRUNSWICK.
PARIS, Nov. 10, (Special.) It is reported that the Duke of Brunswick,-son-in-law
of the Kaiser, has been lost. Searches among the dead and
wounded in France and Belgium hav e not revealed any Information regard
ing him.
The Duchess, who was the Princess Victoria Louise, begged her father,
the Kaiser, to institute special searches and aided vainly in them herself.
The Duke was married to the PrinceBS, who Is the only daughter of the
"War Lord," in Berlin on May 24, 1913.

nothing of interest to report except that
jo tne woevre district, in the Epargea,
five German attacks were executed in
mass in the space of two hours and
stopped abruptly by the fire of our ar
tillery. The earlier report today said:
"The day of November 20, generally
epeakini?, was similar to the two pre
v ceding days.
"In Belgium our artillery at Nieu
port secured the advantage over that
of the enemy. From Dixmude to the
south of the Tpres there was Inter

theirs.
"At Hollebeke two attacks of German
Infantry were immediately repused.
"From the Belgian frontier to the
Olss there was nothing to report. r
"In the region of the Alsne and in
Champagne the advantage gained by
our batteries over the artillery of the
enemy has become marked, and has
prevented the Germans from continuing
the construction of certain trenches be
gun by them.
"In the Argonne we blew up certain
of the enemy's trenches.
"In the vicinity of Verdun and In the
Voages we have made progress. At
certain points we have established our
trenches at less than 30 yards from the
oerman position. '
Case Somewhat Similar to That of
Carl Hans Lody, Who Was execut
ed In Tower of London Man
Says Father Was American.
LONDON. Nov. 2L The intense pub
lic interest In the case of Carl 'Hans
Lody. the German spy recently ex
ecuted in the Tower of London, Is be
ing paralleled in less degree by the
attention given the trial of the man
who says he Is Bridgman H. Taylor,
of El Paso, Tex. In the Bow-street
Police Court foday the prisoner, who
has an American passport in the name
of Bridg-man Taylor, but who Scotland
Yard insists Is Horst von de Goltz, was
remanded lor a further bearing.
Coart-Mart'al la Prebafcle.
It is Intimated that the next hearing
will be before another court, presum
ably a court-martial.
The only charge against the prisoner
as yet is that he has not registered as
an alien. It Is alleged, however, that
the circumstances of the case in some
particulars are similar to those of the
Lody trial. The prisoner arrived in
London on November S. According to
the stamps on his passports he had
just come from Germany. He is said
to have boasted of Germany's great
prowess.
He spoke mostly tn German and

Other patrons of the hotel at which
he registered say that the man told
them that he was born in America.
that his mother was a German and
his rather an American. On the death
of his father, he said, he was taken
by his mother to Germany, where ne

Discretion to Be Allowed Agala.
Secretary Daniels announced todav
that his orders to the commanders of
the North Carolina and Tennessee sus
pending the naval regulations, which
ordinarily give them wide discretion.
would be tn effect only until the pres
ent Incident was explained. Tomorrow
he will rescind that order and give the
captains of the two American warships
the same latitude they had previously
enjoyed. The vessels may not remain
in Turkish territorial waters, but will
stay within a half day's sail in some
of the islands now belonging to Greece.
Before Mr. Morgenthau's dispatch
was received the White House issued
a statement saying the firing on the
cruiser's launchwas reported by Cap
tain Decker as not a hostile act, but
that explanation has been asked from
the Turkish government. Official Wash
ington was puzzled for a time when it
became known at the Navy Department
that Captain Decker had first described
the firing as "an act not hostile, but un
friendly.
Cryptic Phase Pint WUhheld.
This cryptic phrase had been omitted.
Secretary Daniels said, .from Captain
Decker's original report as made public
because the message was garbled and
attempts were made to discover whether
or not it Bhould have read "not hostile,
but Irienaty. v hen the cable compa
nies verified the word as "unfriendly"
Secretary Daniels came to the conclu
sion that Captain Decker had merely
expressed a personal opinion and could
not have known the motive of the land
forces in firing the shot.
There Is some question in the minds
of diplomatists here as to the right of
a small boat to enter a closed port, for
by its size and equipment its mission
is obviously seen to be friendly. There
Is no exact precedent, however, and as
the Incident occurred within the terri
torial waters of Turkey, the sovereign
right of the latter to make and enforce
her own regulations is recognized.
bhould it be necessary for launches
to enter Turkish ports in the future,
It is considered most probable that pre
vious arrangements will be made by the
American consulate.
GEfjfiN SPY DIES
LIKE PHILOSOPHER
Englishmen, While Not La
menting Lody"s Death, Pay
Tribute to His Bravery.
KITCHENER IS INSISTENT
Members of Cabinet Had Favored
Imprisonment for Life, but War
Chief Saw Necessity for
Quick Action as Example.
LONDON. Nov, 13. (Correspondence
of the Associated Press.) At 7 o'clock
on the foggy morning of November 8.
Carl Hans Lody, the German naval
Lieutenant, whom the people of Lon
don had come to know as "Lody the
spy," sat in a chair In a courtyard of
the old Tower of London and faced a
firing squad selected to put him to
death. He had been convicted by
court-martial of communicating with
the German authorities to the detri
ment, of England, and. tn view of the
agitation raised throughout the British
Isles on the question of alien enemies,
no penalty but death seemed to meet
the situation.
Kitchener Pavora Extreme Action.
This is the usual fate of all spies
caught in war time, but as the court
martial was held In London, aa remote
in many respects from the scene of
fighting as New York, some doubt was
expressed at first whether the extreme
penalty would be Inflicted. It was
said even that certain members of the
Cabinet favored life imprisonment. But.
so the gossip runs. Lord Kitchener,
quick to see the necessity for extreme
action with the spy menace so ram
pant. Insisted on the death penalty.
At any rate, Lody is dead. Ten
seconds after he sat In the chair In
the Tower courtyard, eyes unshielded,
at his own request, he toppled forward
lifeless with seven bullets through hia
breast. Half an hour later an under
taker's wagon came and the body was
taken away for burial In a pauper's
grave.
Place of Execution Historic.
'The scene of the execution the first
In the Tower since the middle of the
eighteenth century is only a few rods
from the Bpot where Anne Boleyn.
Lady Jane Gray and other English
celebrities died by the ax many years
ago.
All retainers and employes in the
Tower's cluster of old structures soon
heard of the execution; in fact, many
of them were awakened by the volley
and visitors who came to the Tower
that day were told of it In whispers.
Lody bad died game, they said.
Throughout the night he had prayed
with a British army chaplain. To the
last he refused to tell for what person
in Germany he was acting. Nor was
It disclosed at the court-martial Just
what reports Lody had Bent to Germany.
Data Form- Remarkable Exhibit.
When certain documents were dis
cussed, reporters were barred from the
room. That they were important, bow
ever. Is generally admitted. Those who
have read some of the reports pay
high tribute to Lody'a clearness of ex
pression and the acuteness of his ob
servations. Taken as a whole, it Is said
that his data form one of the most
remarkable exhibits ever brought to
the attention of Scotland Yard.
Lody was about 35 years old, but
looked younger. Though a native cf
Berlin, he had traveled widely and he
spoke English with almost an Amer
ican accent. This, together with tho
fact that he looked like an American,
was doubtless the main reason he was
sent to England as a spy.
He had spent much time here before.
but on the last occasion he came in Au
gust, shortly after hostilities were de
clared with Germany.
Pursuers at First Eluded.
Clever as he was. the Intelligence
office of the War Department soon got
wind of his actions and he was watched.
It was during this shadowing that he
insisted tnat he was Charles A. lnglis.
an american. In this role he even went
to the police and complained that he
was being followed. This for a time
threw off his pursuers, but the espion
age was later renewed and in October
he was arrested.
English counsel defended him. The

DeUcate Situatloa Relieved.
The message from Mr. Morgenthau,
dated November 16, but delayed en
route, relieved a delicate situation. It
arrived late in the afternoon and after
being deciphered was discussed at a
conference tonight between the Presi
dent. Secretary Daniels and Acting
Secretary Lansing, of the State De
partment The fact that th Governor-General
of Smyrna had offered to take Captain
Decker, of the Tennessee, by automo
bile to the American Consulate at
Smyrna, officials here declared, indi
cated clearly the friendliness of the
Turkish officials. The right of a bel
