toward Mexico City, according to ad
vkes received todny.
American Consular Agent Csro
tbers with Villa, reported tlicro had
been no fighting since the southward
movement began and ventured his
opinion thnt there would be no hos
tilities because the rank, and fllo of
the constitutionalist army scorned to

thu firing of a shot and other re
ports tell of tho occupation of Irapua
to aond Guanajuato also without re
silience. No report wan received hero of tho
alleged censorship by Villa of the
telegraphic conferences between Gen
eral Gutierrez and General Gonzales
but It was thought in official quart
ers that Villa had ordered all telo
graphic communication with tho
troops koulli of him to ccaso so that
tho enemy would be unable to learn
of the oncoming of his forces.
Tho general expectation In official
circle today was tknt General Villa
would reach MexIrS City without
much difficulty, flglitlng perhaps one
battlo ns his troops slashed with those
of Oliregon or Gonzales near the
capital.

PAIIIH, Nov. lfi, 11:18 p. m. A
brilliant attack by llrltlsh troops nnd
French sailors caused tho Germans
to evacuate Schoorbakke, Helglum,

tlio water from the broken dykes, ac
cording to news reaching hero from
tho battle front.
Ilecnuso of the flood only two roads

these thu llrltlsh approached In two
armored automobiles. It was a night
attack. Meanwhile tbo bluejackets,
who had made rafts, crossed the

one road still left open. Tho Germans
abandoned many guns, ammunition
and stores, and their dead and wound

"On tho north yesterday -was

"Between the Olse and the Alsne,

day before yesterday the Germans
endeavored to re-capturo It. After
having captured our first trenches
they succeeded in making their way
as far as the central square ot tho

Germans March Toward Warsaw Re
garded as Effort to Draw Russian
Troops From Advance Upon Cra
cow and Relieve Pressure.
I'ETKOOIIAO, Nov. 19, via Lon
don, IMS p. m. The German ad
vance In considerable force along the
narrow battle front on the west bank
of the Itlvor Vistula Is regarded by
Russian military observers as a feint
at the city of Warsaw, tho Intention
of which Is to draw Hussion troops
from their advance upon Cracow, and
distract attention from the efforts of
the Germans to establish a strongly
fortified defensive line from Kallsz
to Cracow.
This plan also In calculated by the
military authorities to relieve the
German troops In East Prussia now
giving way along the entire line by
rendering a Russian further advance
untenable. Despite this German
demonstration, the converging lines
of tho Russian advance on tho .Aus
trian fortress ot Cracow are steadily
progressing, tho Russians say, hav
ing now reached within 25 miles of
that point.
Tito Austrlans arc stubbornly con
testing the Russian offensive and are
taking advantago of every creek and
hillock In any way avallablo for de
fense, but tho Russian columns In
South Poland already have traversed
the last river between them and tho
fortress of Cracow.
The Russian troops form two
fronts, one facing Cracow and the
other facing tho Carpathian moun
tains where yesterday they re-occu-pled
the approaches to two of the
most important passes Into Hungary.

Continue Turk Advance Checked.
LONDON, Nov. 19. Germany's
now attack on the Russian army la
tbo center of the eastern battle line
stood out conspicuously today as or
chief Immediate Importance In the
European war. The sudden assault
ot the Germans In Russian Poland,
from which territory they wore de
scribed recently as being driven In
disorder, has lent a new aspect to
this campaign, which for Germany Is
no less Important than the conflict
in France and Belgium.
Russian military officials admit a
reverse In this territory and Berlin
Is celobratlng a great victory, but
the mcagerncss of authentic Infor
mation from tho front makes It Im
possible to determine the extent of
imDortance or the German successes.
Mcanwhllo Russia Is proceeding with
her other two adventures In her three
fold campaign. Her troops to tho
north, Petrograd announces, are
penetrating steadily Into East Prus
sia, while to tbo south they are clos
ing in on Cracow, Gallcia, In an at
tempt to crush the Austrlans.
Tho sound ot cannonading was re
ported oft tho coast of Sweden, in
tho Daltic Sea. It was thought pos
sible that the main Russian fleet,
which recently set out from HelsJag-
fors, Finland, might have engaged tae
Germans.
The general staff or the Russian
army which Invaded Turkey, an
nounces tbat the advance of the Turks
has been checked, and that their
troops, which have been successfully
pursuing the Russian advance guards,
are now In retreat.
Austria apparently has 'the upper
hand in her war with Servla. Re
ports from Vienna stato that the pur
suit ot tho enemy is being carried
further and that the Servian retreat
at places is attended with heavy
losses. Unofficial German advices
state that Russia had sent troops to
assist tho Servians, but the authentic
ity of this roport was In doubt, slnco
such a movement ot forces would In
volvo a long sea voyage around tho
continent ot Europe or tho invasion of
Bulgaria or Rumania, neutral count
