BRITISH EXPERTS SANGUINE
Many Declare Field Marshal Hlnden
burg's Forces Have Been Split Into
Three Units, with One In Dangerous
Position.
Western Newipiper Union News Benlce.
London, Nov. 30... Another day of
the crucial battle between the Rus
sians and the Germanic allies in Po
land has passed without news of a
decisive result. The Berlin oHIclal
statement tonight says that thoro Is
nothing of Importance to report from
Poland, while the Russian govern
ment rests upon Its warning against
overoptlmlsm.
The facts, as gleaned from various
messages of correspondents, appear to
bo that three semi-Independent en
gagements are progressing beforo
Thorn, on the north, and Cracow, on
tho south, In which both combatants
have achieved local successes, with
out a distinct victory for either arms.
Views of British.
Some of the British military experts
believe that Field Marshal von Hln
denburg's forces have been split Into
three units, one of which certainly
Is almost completely enveloped, while
the Russians have driven a wedge
between the Gorman army and its
Austrian ally In tho region of Cracow.
They declaro that the Germans have
consistently underestimated tho quali
ties of ttielr Muscovite opponents and
bavo likened them to a body com
posed wholly of second line troops,
but are now ruBhlng heavy reinforce
ments from the western line to avert
a Polish Sedan. They express tho
opinion that the Issue depends on
whether those arrive In time.
Borlln reports tho failure of the
Russian attacks on tho fortifications
oast of Darkehmen, in East Prussia,
with heavy losses, while unofficial
messages from Petrograd describe Im
portant Russian gains and the capture
of ten miles of trenches to the north
cast of Lodz.
Advices from Holland report that
railway traffic, newspapers and posts
In the Brussels region aro entirely
suspended, It Is presumed for tho pur
pose of suppressing news of a move
ment of German troops to the east
ward. Western Zone Quiet.
The only development of the day in
the western theater was tho renewal
of tho British naval bombardment of
the German base at Zeobrugge.
England was surprised at the an
nouncement that King George had left
last night on a visit to tho headquar
ters of the British forces In France,
where ho Is certain of an enthusias
tic reception from the soldiers.
This was the 40th birthday of Wins
ton Spencer Churchill, first lord of
tho admiralty, and the papers, except
n few of thoso antagonistic to him,
pay a tribute to his remarkable ca
Teer. The 70th birthday of tho queen
mother, Alexandra, will bo celebrated
tomorrow.
Tho Dutch papers say that the Ger
mans have Imposed an Indemnity of
35,000,000 francs monthly on Belgium
for tho duration of tho war for tho
maintenance of the troops and, in ad
dition, 375,000,000 francs (?75;000,000)
as a war levy for violations of neu
trality. Luxembourg reports that tho Ger
mans havo paid a substantial sum for
damapes resulting from their occupa
tlons of the grand duchy.
WAR SUMMARY.
Dec. 1. If any marked successes
bavo been attained on any of tho va
rious fields of battle tho war chancel
lories of the belligerent powers have
refrained from making known this
fact to tho public through their usual
official communications.
Unofficial advices from Petrograd
assert that tho Russians in Poland
havo captured ten miles of German
trenches between Glovno and Sobota,
near tho coast of Lodz, and In addi
tion 600 prisoners, seven guns and
many woundod. The capture of those
trenches, It Is assorted, strengthens
tho Russian right wing, which, It la
declared, already has outflanked tho
German left and brought the Russian
advanco nearer Strykow, where a bat
tle Is raging.
Berlin declares there Is nothing lm
pbrtant to report from Poland. A
wireless dispatch from the German
tapltal, however, quotes military crit
ics aB saying that tho time is ripe
for a resumption of active operations
against the Russians which wero tem
porarily hindorod by tho advanco of
Russian reinforcements. It adds that
tho Austrlans aro co-oporatlng with
tho Germans, and that thoro havo
been Austrian advances In Sorvla.

IVa'tra Newspiper Union New Berries.
Washington, D. C. Investigation of
tho rnllway freight rato situation In
western and middle westorn territory
was ordered when tho Interstate com
merco commission suspended new tar

become effective December 1. Under
tho commission's ruling the new
schedules and tho various regulations
and charges for special services In
cluded In the tariffs cannot become ef
fective before March 31, 1915, having
been postponed "pending hearing and
decision thereon."
In a general way tho western car
riers sought to advance rates In con
formity with advances recently ap
plied for, by eastern carriers In tho so
called 5 per cent freight advance rato
case, now beforo tho commission on
rehearing because of emergencies said
to have arisen from tho European war.
Among the important rates suspend
ed wore thoso proposed on grain and
grain products, "Chicago to eastern
seaboard; stone and granlto, Boston
to western points, fresh meats to St
Louis and East St. Louis, 111., on which
an Increase of 9 cents per 100 pounds
was sought; coal, live stock, fresh
meats, packing house products, hay,
grain and cotton piece goods between
westorn trunk lines territory and
southwestern points, and uncompro
mised cotton llnters, concentrated and
compressed, In transit at Alexandria,
La.
As to grain and grain products, tho
suspended tariffs provided general in
creases of 1 cent per 100 pounds on
carload shipments from St. Paul and
other northwestern points, from Chi
cago and St. Louis to points on the At
lantic gulf seaboards, and between
Chicago and Central Freight associa

MEXICAN CAPITAL QUIET.
Gen. Zapata's Army Keeping Things
In Order.
Washington, D. C. Sir Cecil Spring
Rice, tho British ambassador, has In
formed tho state department of tho ro
celpt of a report from Charge Hostor,
of tho Brltsh embassy In Mexico City,
saying that good order prevailed In
the Mexican capitals
Charge Hoster said Gen. Zapata was
not In the city, but was represented
thcro by one of his ofticors. Ho re
ported that there had been no execu
tion In cases of crimes against good
order.
Consul Canada asked tho stato de
partment to warn Americans and oth
er foreigners agalnBt going to Vera
Cruz at this time. Transportation fa
cilities between Mexico City and tho
seaport are uncertain, it was pointed
out, and thoso who ventured to Vera
Cruz would in all probability bo
stranded there.
In this connection the department
Issued the following announcement:
"Many Americans returning to Vera
Cruz find It impossible to go to tho In
terior. No hope is entertained that
railway communication will bo better
for many months to como on account
of tho fact that the railway lines aro
controlled by different factions and
aro In constant danger of destruction."
Needs of the Navy.
Washington, D. C. Tho need of 240
additional officers and nbout 4,600
men to fully equip all American war

BATTLESHIP
LOST TO BRITAIN
Bulwark Blown Up In Estuary of
River Medway, Near
London.
ALMOST ENTIRE CREW GONE
Between 700 and 800 Men Kilted Be
lieved to Have Been Caused by Ex
plosion of the Magazine Russians
Claim Victory Which Is Denied by
Berlin Little Fighting In Flanders.
London, Nov. 30. Tho battleship
Bulwark of Great Britain was blown
up and sunk Thursday In tho estuary of
tho Modway river. Between 700 and
800 men wero lost, Including Capt.
Guy Belator, her commander, and all
her officers. Only 14 of hor crew wero
saved.
It 1b announced officially that tho ex
plosion was Intorlor and originated in
tho ship's magazine.
Tho disaster is the most appalling,
with tho exception of tho loss of the
Audacious, the British navy has suf
fered in war. Tho men aboard hor
had not a fighting chanco for tholr
lives. The boat sank In three min
utes. Tho band was playing aboard the
Bulwark. Near hor wero anchored
several other ships.
Churchill Announces Disaster.
Suddenly a terrific explosion oc
curred in tho bowols of the ship. A
great cloud of smoko arose, envolcp
lng tho Bulwark and' shutting her from
sight A great white flash of flro
streaked through tho black veil; tho
smoko cloud thickened and rolled out
ward and upward.
Announcement of the loss of tho Bul
wark In Sheerncss harbor was mado
In tho house of commons by Winston
Churchill, first lord of tho admiralty.
Only Fourteen Are 8aved.
Mr. Churchill's official statement fol
lows: "Tho battleship Bulwark was lying
In tho harbor of Sheerncss when she
'whbv blown up. The disaster occurred
at 7:53 o'clock in tho morning. Tho
ship was torn absolutely asunder and
had entirely disappeared when tho
smoko cleared away. It Is tho opinion
of tho admiral at Sheerness that tho
ship was destroyed by an explosion of
tho magazine. Only 14 members of
tho crew wero saved. The destruction
of tho Bulwark will not sensibly af
feot our military or naval position."
Chief Loss Is In Men.
Tho Bulwark was of 15,000 tons dis
placement. It was laid down In 1889
and completed In 1902. It was 411 feet
long, 75 feet wide, and drew 29 feet
of water. Its armament consisted of
four 12-Inch guns, 12 6-lnch guns, 16
12-pounders, six 3-poundera, nnd four
submerged torpedo tubes. , It had a
complement of 750 mon. It cost J5.000,
000. Although too old to bo any longer
in tho first fighting lino, tho Bulwark
still was a useful unit. Tho loss of tho
ship, however, was nothing compared
with tho heavy loss In trained officers
and mon. Tho Bulwark In ts early ca
reer was qulto a favored ship. For
a long time It was tho flagship of Ad
miral Charles Boresford in tho Medi
terranean. .
More Lfrltlsh Ships Sunk.
London, Nov. 29. German submar
ines havo sunk two more British
steamships and a German mine has
sent to the bottom a British naval col
lier, according to admission of tho
British admiralty.
Coming on tho heels of tho appall
ing disaster which befell tho British
battleship Bulwark, when It was blown
up with the loss of more than 760 offi
cers and men, these now evidences of
hostilo naval monace at tho vory gates
of London havo served to spread con
sternation over England.
Churchill Seeks to Allay l-ear.
A supreme effort to nllay tho grow
ing terror of tho British pcoplo was
mado In an extraordinary speech In
the house of commons by Winston
Churchill, first lord of tho admiralty.
Ho reviewed tho operations of tho Brit
ish fleet In the wnr and contrasted tho
present and prospective strength of
tho British fleet with that of the Gor
man fleet, declaring now wnrshlps
wero being flnlBhed so rapidly In Eng
land now that Great Britain could loso
ono dreadnaught overy month for a
year and still retain her present su
periority over tho Germans.
"At the beginning of tho war wo
had 31 drcadnaughts and Germany had
21," Mr. Churchill said. "Wo havo lost
bIx of our oldor armed cruisers; Ger
many has lost two. Great Britain had
36 modern light cruisers; Germany had
26. Wo havo lost two; Germany has
loBt or Interned six; we havo added
Blx."
To Reveal All Losses.
Referring to criticisms of tho ad
miralty's failure to utilize Its sub
marines as effectively as tho Germans
had done, Churchill said tho fact that
British submarines had beon unable to
produco rosulta on a largo scalo was
duo to tho "seldom offorod opportunity
to attack,"
"Tho tlmo has not yot arrived whon
wo can UBefully dlecusa the particulars
of certain losses to which roforonco
has been mado As soon as possible
all facts connected with past opera
