al most completely enveloped while the Uns shins have driven a wedge between' the German army and its Austrian ally in the regioq of Cracow They declare that the Germans have consistently underestimated the qualities of their Muscovite opponents arid have opposed them with a body com Iosed almost wholly of second line troops but are now rushing heavy reinforcements from the western line to avert a Polish Sedan They express the opinion that the issue depends on whether these reinforce ments arrived in time reports the failnre of the Kus sinn attack on the fortifications east of Darkehmen in East Prussia with heavy losses while unofficial messages from Pet rograd describe an important Russian gain and the capture of 10 miles of trenches to the northeast of Iodz Advices from Hol land report that railway traffic newspa pers and posts in the Brussels region are entirely suspended It is presumed that this is for the purpose of suppressing news of a movement of German troops to the eastward "The only development of the day in the western theater was the renewal of the British naval bombardment of the German base at Zeebrugge was surprised at the announce ment that King George had left last night on a visit to the headquarters of the British forces in rauce where he is cer tain of an enthusiastic reception from the soldiers was the 40th birthday of Winston Spencer

TROOPS ATTACK BY PRUSSIAN GUARD EniciiMh Soldiers Have a Narrow eape rom Deincc Overwhelmed Details of the operations of the British troops at the front from November 23 to 25 are given in a report issued yes terday under date of November 2 from a military observer attached to the Brit ish headquarters The report iu part is as follows: the enemy desisted from attacks force the righting has been resolved into a competition in snip ing and small affairs on the ontpeats all along the line 'where positions are con tested with rifles hand grenades bombs mortars and mines Our aeroplanes have been especially active in the last two days having dropped 120 The account refers to several instances in which German attacks were repulsed particularly on November 23 to the south of the river Lys There it is said the Gurkhas did considerable execution at close quarters They even penetrated some of the German trenches here they wielded their peculiar curved swords with great effect The report again refers to the efficacy of German discipline" It says that the German soldiers could hear the command coming from the wwls followed immediately by a rush of Germans Once twice and thrice this was done Each time the Germans were mowed down Then the order was again given This time however there were loud exclamations of and no advance was made repulse of the famous Prussian guard is again dwelt upon the enemy had broken through our front line the situation became most the report continues there were only two field companies of the Royal engi neers available at the moment as a re serve in this quarter of the field On the right front of the German attack tiring through open spaces in the woods were heavy batteries and field batteries which dealt havoc among the attackers both before and after they reached our line But the Germans continued to come on almost up to our guns Some bodies were picked njj only 70 yards from the guns "Realizing that all might be lost unless a firing line of some kind could be estab lished battery officers managed to form a line of gunners regimental cooks and details of various descriptions These men stood firm and kept up a steady rifle fire They checked the assault at the most crit ical moment thus enabling other troops to come up to repel it more Other incidents taken np in the report are the movement of British cavalry by motor cars thus adding one more novelty to the roles wnten tne cavairy nas piaycu during the war the blowing up of a farm house containing German snipers: the heating of trenches with braziers' stoves and the transport service whose work in supplying food is commended little part of our says the report in this connection due to the ample quantity and excellent quality of the It is "probably not saying too much to assert that no other soldiers in the field had ever been so well BELGIUM MUST PAY Assessed 7000000 a Month for Sup port of German Army A message from Brussels to the Amster dam1 Hadelsblad states that the German governor of the province of Brabant inwhich Brussels ia located convoked a meeting of financiers and told them that Belgium must pay 35000000 fraucs ($7 000000) monthly for the

Ariz reported to American civil and military authorities yesterday that raiders from the camp of Gov Maytoremi of Sonora had driven sev staked out virtually all nortnern New En glund as his empire He took over the Boston and Lowell railroad the Connecti cut River the Concord and Montreal the itchburg and effected an alliance in 1899 with the Maine Central with himself as president of that road Smaller lines fell almost automatically into his grasp While repeating in his field the success of the New Haven Mr Tuttle encountered this differ ence The New Haven through its Con necticut charter was enabled to absorb and control a vast system of trolly lines as feeders while the Boston and Maine under Massachusetts law was forbidden to do a similar thing One of the most mem orable fights in the Massachusetts Legisla ture came over Mr Tuttle's unsuccessful efforts to secure the right to absorb trol leys Leiuing of the Kchbnrg Probably the most conspicuous thing ac complished by Mr Tuttle while president was the leasing of the itchburg railroad in 1900 during Gov Crane's administra tion This lease required the consent of the Legislature The state of Massachusetts which built at tremendous expense the great tunnel through the Hoosac mountain for the avowed purpose of preventing monop oly and maintaining competition in the in terests of her commerce had after some years of unsuccessful operation by the state of the short line of railroad connect ing the itchburg at Greenfield with the Troy and Boston sold the to the itchburg railroad takmg in pay ment certain shares common and preferred of the itchburg road and these shares constituted a controling interest which it was necessary to vote in confirming the lease which the directors of the two roads had negotiated Mr Tuttle persuaded the Legislature and the governor of the great advantage to the state in transferring this costly white elephant to the corporation which he represented and finally he offered to buy outright the state stock which had but little value except for its voting pow er The offer was accepted and the deal won the public approval of that day In Inte years however when the Boston and Maine system has been staggering under its heavy finiincial burdens ascribed by mauay to the excessive fixed charges of the lensed roads it has been questioned whether Mr itchburg deal was not too costly Mr Tuttle strongly opposed government regulation of freight rates nnd during the agitation' of the issue in the Roosevelt ad ministration he made several addresses in favor of the old system of private control When he retired on September 13 1910 from the presidency of the Boston and Maine the system had already been ab sorbed by the New Haven under circum stances very familiar to New England people In one sense Mr Tuttle had failed inasmuch as bis system was the one to succumb and be nbsorlied but the final outcome was a great railroad tragedy all around Physically Mr Tuttle wns a big man He was of large frame standing six feet and weighing nearly 250 pounds His head was large well shaped his face clenn shaven broad and strong suggest ing Tom Reed's His voice too was strong and of great volume It had as one aptly describe'! it resonance of a voice that has been used in all kinds of weather nnd outdoors and in but when he speaks low as he docs very often it has the ingratiating persuasiveness of a man who must have made a very efficient ticket and passenger He had a town nnd country house the former in Boston on Coiuuicnweulth avenue the lat ter in Lynn on the senside His family was small consisting of his wife who died in 1911 and two daughters He was a great reader and possessed nn excellent library in his Baek Bay home lie be longed to two or three chibs
