The rescue was made In a rouph sea
through brilliant nnd dailns seamanship
on the part of the White .star crew.
The bnttlesh'p's cry for assistance was
caught by the wireless operator of the
Olympic, which was only nbont ten miles
distant. The steamer rushed forward at

HUH LIN. Nov. 13.-(Vla The Hague and
London, Nov. 14.) Today s news from the
western war theater Increased public
confidence that the Hermans are making
satisfactory progress there.
Major Moraht, military critic for the
Tagcblatt, referring to the fact that the
prisoners taken at Nleuport, Kciglum,
yesterday were French, says he reKards
this as proof that the recent defeats of
the Ilelglans have so thinned their ranks
that the exhausted survivors had to bs
replaced by French soldiers. He says
further that the losses In prisoners at
Vpres Indicate that the enemy's energy
Is flagging. The French attempts to
break down the German line at Solssons
show, in the critic's opinion, that they
bclleva the Germans have weakened their
lines there in order to shift reinforce
ments to the northwest, but this Is an
error.
Major Moraht expresses the belief that
tho prcucnt fighting In Kast Trussia In
volves no danger of a new Hussion In
vasion there. Nevertheless It is clear
that the Itusslan advance south of the
Vistula, especially In the vicinity of Ka
liz. has caused considerable anxiety.
Whllo it Is not known publicly how far
the Russians have advanced, It Is not
believed that the German frontier has
been crossed anywhere as yet.
Foreign reports that the towns of Ple
schen and IJosen have been occupied for
five days are discredited here. Never
theless the Inspired press Is trying to
allay public anxiety by giving assurances
that there Is not the sllgntest danger,
and even Intimating that General von
Illndenberg soon will turn the tables on
the Itusslans.

official Turkish communication received
in lierlln and given out to the press
describes .the final defeat of the Huss.an
force, consisting of an entire army corps,

tion given out in Berlin today, the Rus

cupied Tarnow, Jaslo and Krosno.
"The Austrian campaign against tho

statement continues. "The Servians are

Russ Report Heavy
German Losses on
the Recent Retreat
LONDON, Nov. 14. -The Petrograd cor
respondent of the Dally News sends the
following comment on the operations on
the Russian front:
"The German eastern army will con
duct the liuino defense from two bases.
They are organizing their northern forces
at Thorn, using the back belt railways to
maintain communications with their Kast
Prussian army. The now southern base
is Oppoin on the Oder, fifty miles south
east of Ureslau.
"A quantity of guns are being brought
to Oppeln from Cracow and tho latter
place evidently la to be abandoned to tho
Austrian garrison.
"In the last stages of tho retreat from
Poland the Oermans covered twenty-five
miles dally. Their column which fell
back on Kalasx, lost 80,000 men of whom
20,000 were killed."
The Day's
War News
Seldom since the bPRlnning of
the war have the reports from the
various scenes of net Ion been so
contradictory as now. In Pel
pluni. In France, in Galicla and in
Russian Poland, and In the Cau
casian roslons, fighting is pro
ceeding with vurytng. degrees of
Intensity, but there was little, in
t lie way of authenticated news to
indicate noteworthy changes In
the fortunes of any of the contend
ing ti.it ions.
Humors of the sinklnK of the
Hrltish superdreadnought Auda
cious more than n fortnight ago
were confirmed by mall advices.
The French War office, In yes
terday's official statement, again
asserted that minor successes had
been won In Uelglum, but la the
mnln the great battle for posses
sion of tho northern seacoast of
France apparently is proceeding
about the same as heretofore.
Near Nleuport, on the North Sea,
in the region of Yprvs and be
tween Ia Rassee and Arras, across
the Krench border, successes by
tho allies are reported, either in
the way of repulsing Oerman at
tacks or making slow advances.
Oerman military authorities
made no modification of their pre
vious assertions that their forces
were slowly pushing onward at
various points In rtelglum. Un
official advices from Rerlln
showed that the Overman people
were Increasingly optimistic on ac
count of the latest reports from
the front.
Turkey renewed Its claims to
victory over tho Russian forces,
sfntlnir that the Invaders are le
Ing pushed back to Russian soli.
A Mirprlse attack by the Turks,
Constantinople reports, was mado
with such success that the Rus
sians wero driven back toward
Dutotim, losing several towns. In
a battle near Erzerutn the Rus
sians are said to have lost 8,600
men. Petrograd, however, re
ports steady progress In the cam
paign against Turkey.
Of what Is happening In the
great struggle further north be
tween the Russians and the Teu
tonic allies there was no further
word.

scribed as a major In the Mexican army

was remanded In police court today on

The man had in his possession a pass

BERLIN, Nov. 1. (By Wireless
to London) Military headquarters
today gave out an official announce
ment as follows:
"The fighting in western Flanders
continues. Our attacks' during the
last few days have been Impeded by
the rain and stormy weather and are,
therefore, proceeding slowly. South
of Ypres we have taken, 700 prisoners.
"The British attacks to the west of
Lille have been repulsed.
At Berry Au Bao we compelled
the French to evacuate a command
ing position.
"Our attack in the forest of Ar-
gonne has made good progress. Here
the French again suffered heavy
losses, leaving more than 1(0 prison
ers In our hands.
LONDON, Nov. 14. Both official
and unofficial reports concerning the
situation In Flanders agree that the
fores of the Oerman assaults on the
allies' lines, has lessened and the
feeling Is growing in England that
the coveted base for an invasion of
England never will bo gained by the
Germans.
A Paris official statesment de
clares that from the sea to the river
Lys the Oerman action has been less
keen, that the allies have assumed
the offensive along some parts of the
front, are making progress south of
Bixschoote and have taken a hamlet
east of Ypres. Artillery duels con
tinue along the reBt of the line.
Dlxmude has been reported as re-
occupied by the allies, but this lacks
confirmation. As the allied armies
have resumed the offensive at cer
tain points, however, there Is reason
to believe that this town may again
be the center of savage fighting.
' Russians Adrunco Into Galicla.
On the eastern battleground the Rus
sians continue to advance. Vienna ad
mits officially that they have occupied
Tarnow, Jaslo and Krasno, In Galicla.
Residents are fleeing from East Hllesla.
The occupation of Johannlsburg, In Kast
Prussia, is regarded her as being of
great strategic value to the Russians.
The Oermans are reported as having
taken the guns from Cracow to Ohpcln,
In BUesla, fifty miles southeast ot 13 res

Cracow fortress entirely to the Austrian
garrison.

New Rules Made to
Safeguard Issue of
American Passports
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14-New rules to
balk attempts by foreign secret agents to
obtain American passports for use abroad
were in effect today, through an order
signed by President? Wilson. An announce
ment by the State department, outlining
the new regulations said the department
recently had been Informed "ot several
cases In which aliens holding themselves
out as native American citizens have ob
tained or attempted to obtain American
passports for purposes of espionage or
otherwise in foreign countries."
"Under the new rules," the department'
announced, "an applicant for a passport
must make a sworn application before a
cleric of a federal or state court within
the Jurisdiction ot which he er his wit
nesses resides and the seal of the court
must be affirmed. It la . aleo required
that his witness, who must be an Amer
ican cltlsen, make a sworn statement In
support of the application before the
same official.
"The applicant or his witness must be
known to the clerk ot the court before
whom the application is made, or must
be able to satisfy such officer as to hii
identity and the genulneues ot the ap
plication. "Another requirement of the new pass
port rules Is that an- applicant for a
passport Is required to state the names
of the foreign countries which be ex
pects to visit and If aay such country la
at war, he must state the object ef bjr
visit thereto."
