The great mass of the Russian army has pressed behind the retreating -Germans until, official reports declare, an advance guard has crossed the Riv- er Warthe and now holds Pleschen, sixty-two miles north of Breslau and ten miles inside the German frontier.

An advance guard is reported to have reached the River Niszica, thirty-five miles from Cracow. The movement has cut off the Austrian armies of 600,000 operating south of Przemysl and along the River San. A steady, rapid advance on Cra- cow, Breslau and Berlin is now about to begin.

The suffering in the ranks of the Austrians and Germans is declared to have been great al The entire line of their retreat marked by bodies of unburied dead.

London, Nov. 10.—With parliament convening Wednesday for its second “war” session the greatest Interest is being manifested in the attitude the opposition members take toward the government, especially in relation to the affairs of the admiralty. There s also_ the question of the plans adopted by the government re- garding the army for service in France and Belgium, as well as regarding the service of censorship which permits the people to know but little of what is going on in the field. The comparatively light response to the call for recruits Is attributed in England to the fact that there is noth ing imparted to warrant the necessity for enlistment. The claim of the opposition is that | although the German raids were of little real value yet England las been humiliated by their occurrence. The victory of the Germans over Adwiral | Cradock has led to a demand that something should be done by the navy to offset these attacks. FINALLY FORCED TO FLEE Turks Repulsed by Russians, Petrograd. Petrograd, Nov. 10.—Army head quarters in the Caucasus sends the following official communication from Tiflis regarding the Russian opera- tions: “Fwo Turkish divisions, with forty it pieces of field and several pieces of heavy artillery, and with a numerous band of Kurdish cavalry, moved in the direction of the hills of Hassan Kalah, twenty miles east of Brzerum, towards the position at Ko- prukein, which we occupied. “They pursued a vigorous offensive turning movement. striving to su round our right wing. Our artiller opened a murderous fire and the Turks, though they attacked again and again, were finally compelled to | take to flight. st their left wing retired and then the whole front fol- lowed. They are seeking refuge in the obscurity of the broken and un- even country to the west of their scene of attack.” SAW ALLIES IN ATLANTIC Craft From Brazil Passed Eight Brit- says President of Switzerland to Make Next Peace Move.

PROUD OF ITS' ADVANCE Organized Workers of the United States Resist Lessening of Stand- ards Despite Worlkiwide War—Pas. sage of Clayton Anti-Trust Bil! Great- est Accomplishment of the Year. Philadelphia, Nov. 10.—Pronouncing the passage of the Clayton anti-trust bill as organized labor’s greatest single accomplishment for the last vear the executive council of the American Tederation of labor present- ed its annual report to the thirty- fourth convention of the federation here. The voluminous document cov- ers every question which has affected labor during the year, including the European war. Of the Clayton bill the council’s statement says that it “contains the most fundamental, the most compre- hensive enunciation of industrial free- dom found in any legislative act in the history of the world” and that it was obtained through “the organized econcmic power” represented by the workers of the United States. The council expressed pride in the report of progress transmitted “‘at a time when mest of the civilized coun- triés are submerged by a worldwide war” while in the United States “on every hand the workers are insisting upon the maintenance of organization and resistance to deterioration of present working conditions.” Organized Labor Aid: “Organized labor,” it adds, “has as- sisted the effort to mitigate the indus- trial disorganization and losses en- tailed by the European war.” “Before the war the thought and ef- fort of civilization were centered up- on the development and glorification of human life. But since the cata- clysm that brought war between the nations men are treated only as mili- tary pawns. Things are valued for their life-destroying power. Guns are worth more than men.” The war is said to be the product of “artificial conditions and policies and repugnant to the thought and political progress of the age. The war has shown that war cannot be stopped by resolutions and that war cannot put an end to itself. War will cease only when society is convinced that human life is really sacred and when society establishes agencies, international as well as national, for protecting lives. “Militarism and competitive arma- ment must be abolished and tribunals for awarding justice and agencies for enforcing determinations must be in- stituted. “Those most interested should lead in demands for world federation and the rule of reason between nations.” HALTED IN CALLING STRIKE Circuit Court at St. Louis Enjoins Or- ganization From Action. £t. Louis, Nov. 10.—Three railway brotherhoods were restrained by the circuit court from calling a strike on the Cotton Belt railway. ‘The injunction was directed against the officers of the Order of Railway Conductors, the Brotherhood of Rail- way Trainmen and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen. The court ruled that the injunction did not prevent the unions from tak- ing a strike vote. The injunction was granted at the request of six union men, who said the strike order was issued after some of the men who had voted in favor of a strike had asked that their votes be changed.

THREE-DAY BATTLE WITHOUT ADVANTAGE Paris, Nov. .10.—A general battle has been proceeding along the whole front from . the sea to the Vosges mountains for®the past three days without the Germans having been able to find a weak !pnt in the French: de- fense. However, it still is in Flanders thnt interest in the formidable and seein- ingly interminable battle centers. The Germans are concentrating there all the men they can get and ceaselessly are hurling them against the allies’ lines. Never has this method been directed with. as much tenacity and fury as now. The attacks on the line from Ypres to the Lys ure more violent eyen than those directed against the coast road and the passages of the Yser. It is the British who bear the brunt of these onslaughts. In. many places their lines have become pitifully thin, says an officer who has been in that region during the past - fortnight. “Their losses in officers have been. ter- rible. £ * * + BELGIANS REPORT BURY: ING 37,000 GERMANS.
