The correspondent of the Excelsior at Havre says he has from a source which he cannot designate, news of the death of General Von Kluck. ten days ago In a hospital at Namur. where ha rvs treated for a wound In ths head. The news of the alleged death, the cor respondent says, has been carefully con feled In Belgium and Germany. General Von Kluck, who led the dash of tha German right wing, which got to wl'hln a few miles of Paris In the first month of the fighting, has been reported wlth'n the lest few days In official com munications as directing his army In ths fight on the Alsne river. When the scene of fighting shifted to Belgium and the German light wing was extended Into that territory. General Von Kluck, fol lowing his skillful retreat from the vicin ity of Paris, remained In the position ha had taken on the Alsne.

It was still unable to use Its eight alx-Jnch guns, which' on the gundeck were so near the waterllne that ' as the vessel rolled they were almost awash. A terrible broadside from the Scharnhoret and Gneisenau crippled the British flagship and Its engines stopped. The Monmouth, recognizing the distress of Its companion, made a dash to cover the Good Hope, but by that time the distance separating the two squadrons had been reduced to 6.000 yards and the Germans were able to bring all their rhtps into action and to use the guns of the five vessels. These were directed first, against the Monmouth, Glasgow and Ontario. The Ontario, badly, damaged, escaped in the adhering darkness and soon afterward : was followed by the Glasgow, which also - had been put out of action, but continued : spparently aeaworthy.

Dairy show exhibitors of fancy stock todsy organised to protect their Interest. They said the pedigree value of their herd Is $2,600,000. The state, it is said, will pay them only the actual meat value of slain animals, thereby entailing a heavy loss to the owners. The National live stock exhibition, the largest live stock show In the world, was to have been held In Chicago beginning November 28, but probably will be called off this year. No Danger of Meat Fasalne. Danger of a meat famine resulting from the closing tomorrow of the Union stock yards is remote, officials of lead ing packing companies announced today. Prices will not be perceptibly affected, they said, and even if they are raised the advance will be so small that dealers and butchers will not take advantage of them.

The order will bait a dally business, outside of the meat packing industry, of $1,300,600 and affect 35.000 employes. A portion of them will be idle during the suspension. The closing of the yards was ordered yesterday following the finding of six Infected steers among a herd of 000 feeders and eleven infected Holstein cows which were exhibited at the recent national dairy show. In nine days, government experts predict, the yards will be free of contagion.

Further details from the scene of the fighting In the MM Inilratsa In that AnliA.. , - ... iiiv I'pimuii ,of Knglish observers thst the forward movement or the Russians has become general. Kven the Russian left wing which has been held stubbornly by the Austrian ftr weks. has Joined In the advance. This Is admitted by ronser vately worded report given out In Vienna, which declares that the Aostrlans having maintained their position on the Lyaa Gora. where tho Teutonic allies pivoted In order to let the rest of the army com plete Its wheeling movement to a new line, are now retiring. At the same time Austria sets forth certain minor suc cesses along the line from the riven San to Jaroslau. Petrograd, however, makes positive as sertion t'.at the Austrian movement is a retreat amounting to a rout, in which the Russians have taken many prisoners and much booty. According to reports In the Russian capital. General von Hln denberg. the German commander t. con. tlnuing his retiring movement In Russ- sian i-aiona, wnue desperate fighting along the frontier of East Prim.! h. enabled the Russlsns to cron the border ai several points. A significant phase of the eastern campaign Is Indicated by n report froin'Rottendam that the Ninth German army corps has been transferred from Belgium tc East Prussia.

Along this line a tremendous attack prob ably already la under way. Tho outcome may be of the greatest Importance. The Turkish ambassador left London today and Great Britain gave formal an nouncement of a state of wsr between the empire and Turkey. These events coupled with the actnon of British cruisers In bombarding Turkish ports, constitute the extent of the known activities this morning In the Turkish situation. (Icrmaaa Retreat Maay Miles. PETROGRAD. Nov. R.-(Vla London.) The new position of the Gorman front along the river Warthe, over seventy-five miles west of the Vistula river, which they reached at the time of the attempted attack on Warsaw, Indicates the tremendous retreat of General Von Hindenherg'a entire army In Poland dur ing the last two weeks. This retreat Is regarded as especially Important since suih noted Industrial centers as l.oda, Ptotrkow, Random and Klelce are recap tured by the Russians. The strategic point at Sandomlr which Is at the Junc tion of the San and Vistula rivers, hss also been retaken. There Is paitlcular elation over Rus sians advance slnre there now seems little possibility of the Germans regaining the lost' territory because of any Improve ment In the roads, the condition of which mas regarded as a largo factor of the Oermnn failure. The Improvement of the roads Is more than counterbalanced by the enormous Russian reinforcements since received. While the .population of the district a month Biro were vacillating In their sympathies, all are not enthus lastieally with the victor. On the East Prussian frontier the Ger mans have nut with no success In ss sumlng the nKgresslve nnd st some points the RiiMslans have even crossed Into German territory. In this region, how-' tver. the German retreat was not marked! hy serious losses. Some of the military 1 experts here explain that the passing of the Germans from the offensive to the defensive Is due Jo the reported with drawal of seven army corps from Poland to the western theater of war. While the retreat of the Aiit.lrl.ns operating in South Poland and GalMa Is not so marked as that of the Germans, the official reports here Indicate that they have moved perceptahly backwards. The suspended siege of Prtemysl, which Is much acclaimed hy the Austrlans, is explained by the Russlsns as due to the fear of exposing their srmy to the cholera epidemic prevalent there.
