He thinks the vy Russian losses in killed and isorniers has undoubtedly shaken the orale of the Russians. The con- uance of the concentric attacks on he north, west and south, he holds, flaces the Russians in an uneviable osition. The troops which threatened the st Prussian frontier at Soldau i'Ln:]I fts vicinity are continuing their re- reat, apparently towards the crossings bf the Vistula and the Bug at Noves eorgiewsk. Wintery Weather Continues. The wintry weather “in the war heaters is considered to be of the breatest importance in the field opera- ions, especially in the inundated dis- ricts of Flanders. Today’s reports khow that it is colder in the south- fvest and in the northwest. Both Metz nd Brussels report a temperature be- low the freezing point. The snow fall n the northwest has ceased but s airly general in the east and prob- Libly will continue for several days, so | at the battle of Poland will be fought out on snow covered flelds. NON-EXPORTABLE ARTICLES. fearly 400 Kinds on Fmbargo List o Says State Department. . Washington, Nov, 21.—Nearly = 400 nds of articies have been declared 0 ble by neutral European countries and are on the embargo lists, as made public yesterday by the state department. The list is arranged alphabetically and is so long as to resemble an American tariff act. In places, of course, are arms and am- munition, but there also are many articles which never have been asso- ciated in the public mind with mili- tary use, such as goats, corba, horses, Bas cylinders, cotton waste, earth wax, shellac and even seeds and chemicals. SCHMITZ TO ENTER MAYORALTY RACE Former Executive of San Francisco, Prominent in Graft Prosecutions, Homeward Bound. San Francisco, Nov. 21.—Former Mzyor Eugene EL Schmitz, central figure with Abraham Ruef in a series of graft prosecutions following the earthquake, and fire, of 1906, is home- ward bound from New York with the definite intention of entering an active campaign for election as mayor next vear, This announcement was made vesterday by a brother of Schmitz, who said the former mayor would ‘“seek vindication,” at the polls. “My ‘brother is an innocent man,” said Herbert Schmitz, adding that the fermer mayor had been victimized by Ruef, who conducted graft operations without his knowledge. Twenty-seven indictments, found ggainst Schmitz after he was thrown out of office were later dismissed. MANY CARS THROUGH BERLIN. 780 Counted in Two Hours on Road to New Haven. A steady stream of automobiles passed through Beriin this morning going south to New Haven for the Yale-Harvard football game. In a period of two hours, from 9:40 to 11:40, 780 cars were counted by EI- mer W. Stevens, of Berlin. This makes an average of better than six cars a minute. In one period of twenty minutes when one car was a very short distance behind another, 190 cars were counted, an average of between nine and ten a minute. The cars were counted in six twen- ty minute periods, beginning at 9:40, as follows: First period, 82; second period, 128; third period, 190; fourth period, 150; fifth period, 135; sixth period, 95.

New Haven, Nov. 21.—The con- tract for the New York, New Haven and Hartford’s new station for Pawtucket and Central Falls, R. I, which is one of the principal fea- tures of the extensive improvement work under way in those cities, has just been awarded. The new station will be one of the largest on the New Haven system. The successful bidder was the firm of Norcross Brothers, of ‘Worcester, Mass. The new station takes the place of the two old stations at Pawtucket and Central Falls the dividing line between these cities passing through the new structure. It is estimated that 100,000 people will use the sta- tion when finished, which will be about August 15, 1915. This will be an overhead station, twenty-one feet above the track level, which is here located in a deep cut. It will thus have many unusual features and it is believed that the arrangement of tracks and station platforms will make it one of the most convenient and commodious on the system. As the road has been four-tracked at this point, the station will have two island platforms, 900 feet long, one for eastbound and one for west- bound tracks. They will be reached by six stairways. All baggage will be handled by electric elevators. The waiting room will be 92 feet long, 64 feet wide and 32 feet high with seats for 200 people. A restaurant and large retiring rooms Wwill be ad- juncts. The new station will have an attractive exterior of granite and brick and will harmonize with the ex- tensive landscape work embraced in the improvement plan. The grade crossing elimination work at Pawtucket and Central Falls, of which this is a part, has been in pro- gress for about two years. It has involved the elimination of all grade crossings and the four tracking and relocation of tracks to take out the curve at this point on the main line. The work has been under the direc- tion of the Pawtucket-Central Falls Grade Crossing Commission. Pend- ing the completion of the new station a temporary structure will be erected, which will permit of the abandon- ment of the old stations and tracks. PREDICT WARM WEATHER. Washington, Nov. 21.—Warm wea- ther for the east and the south was the prediction of the official forecas- ters today when they scanned reports of the dving.cold snap. The New England storm has whisked north- eastward over the Canadian maritime provinces and in the upper Lakse region another has died away. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS.

Philadelphia, Nov. 21.—Before the American Federation of Labor ad- journs finally its thirty-fourth annual convention here today it will, with- out doubt, elect Samuel Gompers pres- ident for the thirtieth time. Frank Morrison, who was first elected sec- retary in 1897, alsa probably wiil be re-elected. There was gossip among the delegates to the effect that all the vice.presidents may not be re- elected, but no names in oppasition to any of the incumbents were men- tioned. AUTHOR DIES IN HARTFORD. Hartford, Nov. 21.—George James Bayles of New York, a writer and author of books, a graduate of Col- umbia college where he was after- wards a prize lecturer for six vears, died here yesterday of cerebral hem- orrhage. He was born in Irvington, N. Y., August 28, 1869. He had been in Hartford two months pursuing spe- clal investigations relative to a book which he hoped to publish. SCHWAB SILENT ON FATE OF AUDACIOUS Steel Man Was on Olympic at Time of Disaster of Warship. York, Nov. 21.—Charles M. president of the Bethlehem Steel compsan and Archibald John- son, the first vice-president, who were passengers on the White Star liner Olympic when she rescued the crew the lost British bat- here New Schwab, and tried to tow | tle-cruiser Audacious, arrived | 1ast night fram Liverpool by the White Star liner Adriatic after a business trip of two weeks in England. Mr. Schwab contributed no mation concerning the British warship. The brought ta his attention, but ke de- clared that he had been ly a guest of the British government since his arrival in England, and as such he could not talk on the nation's af- fairs. When informed that official confirmation had come out concern- ing the Audacious, Mr. Schwab said: “Well, that is sufficient, and there is nothing more 'to be said about it.” Steel Man Optimistic. The steel man was in a much more ‘optimistic frame of mind than when he departed on the Olympic, a month ago. “I have not felt so confident of the bright outlook for really prosperous conditions in America in three yvear: said Mr. Schwab. “I look for a steady increase of business prasperity, not one of these industrial flurries, but pros- perity on a good, substantial basis. Benefit for U. S. “The United States is going to be favarably benefited by the lamentable conditions existing in Burope, and she will perhaps be the most favored of all neutral powers. For example, Ger- many has been producing from 12,- 000,000 to 15,000,000 tons of steel an- nually, 8,000,000 to 10,000,000 tons of which she had exported. This indus- try has either been stifled completely ar greatly crippled, and the world must turn to the United States for steel.” 7 Mr. Schwab ~dehied emphatically that he and Mr. Johnston had made new contracts with the British or French governments. He said that be- fore the war he had some contracts with Great Britain, but that these had not been augmented. In this connec- tion Mr. Schwab made the ambiguous statement that the good news he had hrought over with him was of such a infor- loss of the subject was practi ! British nature that it could not be made pub- list just now. » Primary Object of Trip. The primary objeet of his trip to England he said was to attend to cer- tain details of his contract for coast | defense armament along the Chilian coast, the financing of which is being carried on in London. John R. Drexel, the retired banker, a brother of Anthony J. Drexel, who is with a French hospital corps, re- turned on the Adriatic, accompanied by Mre. Drexel. He said he believed the war would not be over for a year, and that Germany would have to be starved out before she would give in, Mr. Drexel said he felt confident that | the London stock exchange would not open for many months, H 200,000 Swiss Mobilized. | Dr. David Jayne Hill, former Ameri- can ambassador to Berlin, accom- | renied by his wife and daughter, re- | turned on the Adriatic after a trip of four months in Switzerland and Paris. Dr. Hill said that the Swiss had mobi- lized about 200,000 men as a measure of defense, and would, he thought, be able to maintain their neutrality. When the Adriatic left Liverpool she had among her saloon passengers Alexander Duncan, thirty-four yvears old, a Scotchman, of wealthy parents, who lived at Rutlana Gate, London. | On Wednesday he was missed, and it | believed he jumped into the sea while the vessel was weathering a heavy westerly gale. Even if the | voung man had been séen to jump overboard it is not likely that he could have been rescued. It was said aboard the steamship that Duncan had trooded over having been rejected for military duty because of physical dis- ability.

Have Perfect Right. Officials point out that merchants and manufacturers of the United States have a perfect legal right to sell their products to belligerents and that there is no international law to prohibit such sales, except where this country is made the base for outfit- ting an expedition to a Dbelligerent country, It is made clear, however, that gaipments are made at the risk of the shipper so far as this govern- ment is concerned if the consignment comes under the contraband band of a belligerent Barbed wire and implements for constructing obstructions, motor veh- icles and their parts and mineral ana motor oils are on the new list of ab- solute contraband, and efforts have been made to have the state depart- ment urge the British forelgn office to modify the list in this respect. Hard to Cover All Cases, Great Britain has urged that it will be hard to cover all cases with one and that where it is shown that seizure is unjustified she will be open to argument and reason When it can be positively proved that shipments of conditional contraband or even contraband goods will not reach the enemy’s country, particulars Iy the Kiel canal, the German naval base, there will he no interference Acting Secretary of State Lansing and Senator Myeis. of Montana, dis- cussed yeosterday the contraband on copper.
