LONDON. Oct. IS. The only fact which
Englishmen are able to point to today
as a basis for their belief that the climax
has about been reached in the sea. land
and air battle across the channel, Is that
the armies cannot Indefinitely face the
decimation of their ranks which has
marked this latest phase of the great
campaign.
Tor nearly a week now. this tripartite
combat has raged with unabated fury
between forces up to the present time
so enual In strength that the fronts have
swayed back and forth without either
being able to register a decisive victory.
That the alnughter In these fierce efforts
and counter efforts to break through op
poalng lines transcends anything hereto
fore seen In this campaign is admitted
on both sides. Nevertheless neither the
terrible effect of the long range British
naval guns over flat lands offering no
natural defensive positions, although
vouched for both officially and unof
ficially, nor the onslaughts of the allied
forces on land has yet succeeded In stem
ming the "hacking through" tactics of
the Germans.
Sweeplaar Claims I' aeon finned.
English news dispatches make sweeping
claims of annihilating successes, German
advices assert continued progress, and
Russians telegrams report great vic
tories, but well defined evidence to sup
port these various contentions Is lacking,
and the real facta appear to be that tn
neither the eastern nor the western
arenas of tha war has the tide yet
turned ' decisively.
The great haul of merchant ships by
the German cruiser, Karlsruhe, new fully
confirmed from Las Palmas, has been a
rude shock to those who have contended,
that the Atlantic ocean was held safely
by the British navy, but tha apologists
have lost no tl.e In pointing out that
the fleet cannot at the aame time convoy
hundreds of transports and safeguard
very merchant ship. The sinking of
merchant vessels without loss of life. It
Is remarked, involves no military injury,
while the capture of a group of trans
ports would be a disaster. Chambers of
commerce, however, are agitating for a
sweeping operation sufficiently wide to
net both the German cruisers. Eraden, in

PARIS. Oct. 23. "The Invaders, having
first failed before Albert and Rove, and
secondly before Arras. In their attempts
to envelope the French left wing, are be
lieved to have been more fortunate in
th region of Bethune, Mertille, Ballleul
and Armentieres," says a Habas agency
dispatch dated '"Before La Bassee in
October."
"For this reason, after pushing to
wards Haxebrouck, (thirty-two miles
northwest of Lille), and Aire, on the Lys,
they undertook October 14 an offensive,
following the Lys river. German cavalry
crossed the river toward Erqulnghen, and
supported the right wing of the bulk of
the German army, which proceeded aouth
and southwestward with the evident In
tention of turning Bethune and seising
the railroads, which the Germans believe
have been used for supplying tha left
wing of the allies.
"We defeated this maneuver, and then
occurred serious cavalry fighting, which,
owing to the nature of the terrain, left
the Issue confused. The district In which
these Interesting operations . occurred Is
an extremely difficult country. It is es
sential agricultural and is interspersed
with rivers, canala and deep depressions.
The properties arc divided by hedges and
rows ot trees, making communication
from one field to another difficult, but
excellent for ambuscades. Nevertheless
the allied cavalry fought successfully at
Estalrea, Fleurbat. - Laventle, VlelUe
Chapelle, LaCoutre and Richeboum.
"The battlefields bear numerous traces
of the severity of this fighting. At
Vlellle Chapelle a German cavalryman
and a French mounted rifleman, after
losing their horses, continued their en
counter to a neighboring cottage, where
with drawn swords they fought a duel in
the kitchen. Both were mortally wounded
and their graves are now side by side in
the cemetery in the village church. Here
the tombstones have been knocked down,
while the church itself shows shattered
stained glass windows and is without
steeple and roof."

LONDON', Oct. 23. (:40 a. m.)
A dlpatch from Tenerlffe, Canary
Inlands, to the Daily Mall, under date
of Thursday, reports tbat tha Ger
man cruiser Karlsruhe baa gunk thir
teen British merchantmen In the At
lantic. The news of the Karlsrule 'g ex
ploit, according to the Dally Mail's
Tenerlffe correspondent, was brought
to the port by the German steamer
Crefeld, which arrived there with the
crews of the British steamers Strath-ray,-
Maplebranch, Highland, Hope,
Indranl, Aio lguaasu, Nlceto, Maria
D. .Larrinaga, Cervantes, Cornish
City, Prutb, Condor and Lyncrowan,
all of which were sunk by the Karls
ruhe. The Crefeld wag accompanied
into port by the Germans, Fatagonia,
We Negra and Asuncion. . t ,
, A, later message States that more than
400 men ef th crews ar prisoners. Tb
ship were mostly engaged in the South
American trade end their total tonnage
Is about 40.000.
The cruiser Karlsruhe, a alnp of a trifle
leas titan i,0P0 tons, has had In this war
a career aa eventful as that of Its smaller
sister ship, the Emden, in th Indian
ocean.
The Karlsruhe first came Into notice
at the outbreak of the war, when It ap
peared ill the vicinity of Sandy Hook,
apparently In wait for British merchant
men leaving New Tork. For a few dayu
Brltifh shipping hugged the piers and
then came news that tha Karlsruhe had
been driven away by the approach of
several British cruisers.
On August the Karlsruhe appeared in
the harbor of San Juan, Porto Rico,
where It coaled and again took to th
seas. Soon after It was learned that tha
Karlsruhe had been In a sensational run
ning fight at sea with the British cruis
ers, Suffolk and Bristol.
It appears that the British cruisers
came unexpectedly on the Karlsruhe
while It was coaling from the German
steamer, Kronprlna Wllhelm. The cruis
ers engaged in a running fight, while
the Kron Prince Wllhelm, through Its
superior speed, easily esrsped. The Karls
ruhe also eluded Its pusuers, and an un
confirmed report had It that It damaged
the Bristol.
Since then th Karlsrun ha appeared
In several West Indian ports for coal,
after preying In .various southern sess
on British commerce. An official state
ment, given out In Berlin on October I,
said It had sunk seven British steamers
In the Atlantic.
The Karlsruhe Is a comparatively new
ship, having gone Into commission early
tn IMS. It is very fast, having a speed
of twenty-seven knots, which has enabled
It thus far successfully to elude the per
atstent BrltUh pursuit. Its main arma
ment consists of twelve 4.1-inch guns and
It carries a crew of ITS men.

the desire of the British government that
stocks of food should not be depleted by

and the receipt of such supplies from
across th Atlantic becomes more Im
perative than was originally anticipated.
These difficulties have becom even

War Summary
The Germans and the allies
continue their desperate game ot
give and take In West Flanders
and northeastern France yester
day, neither side claiming a de
cisive advantage.
French warships are said to
have Joined the BrltUh naval
forces forming the extreme left of
the allies, and frcth German re
inforcements are reported con
stantly coming up. Not Mince the
opening ot hostilities have the
warring forces appeared to have
been so evenly matched.
The allied war craft In the
Straits of Dover are shelling the
German right without stopping
the onslaughts of the German land
forces. The allied armies have
gained ground st eevornl points
and have been forced to fall back
at others.
Yesterdays French official
statement says that violent attack"
are being made by the Germans
all along the line from the sea to
Canal IiAbassee. They also hare
delivered heavy blows In the re
gion of the Arrasand on the River
Somme. Generally the allies have
held tbelr own, though pushed
back from some positions. They
have progressed to the north and
south of the River Homrne and in
the regions of Verdun and Pont
A Mousson. i
The Germans appear to ba mak
ing a new effort with new organ
izations between the North Sea
and the OUe.
Paris learns unofficially that
fresh troops have given a new Im
petus to the German attack on the
French right wing.

er after, the president had conferred
with Speaker Clark and Senators Kern

Speaker Clark said he was sure both
houses now sitting without a quorum,
would be unable to agree on adjourn

endorse such action by the president.
In the senat there waa possibility
that ths filibuster of senators from ths
cotton slates might b abandoned, but In
the house the champions of cotton relief
were . reported ready to block adjourn
ment resolutions on a point of no
quorum.
The plan to adjourn at o'clock last
night, Immediately following the adoption
of th conference report on the war reve
nue bill, was frustrated by the filibuster,
which prevented action In the senate on
a Joint resolution calllug for adjourn
ment at that time and to which the

Aa the leaders had BO de'-Jte plans,
