ARMY OF 200 000 ENVELOPED PICK OF THE GUARDS SHATTERED

A despatch from London Bays: It
is reported from Petrograd that, en
Auetrial army retreating in Gali-
cia has been caugtht between two
Russian armies and must surrend,er
or accept certain defeat in latibtle.
The supposition here is1 thrat, the
imperiled force is the command of
Gen. Dankl, 'which retreated up the
Vistula, from Ivangorocl and New
Alexandra, after ;the collapse of the
Austro -German invasion. Instead
of co-operating with the Germans
in a, withdrawal to Cracow and
Czenstochowa, the A,u.strians 'ap-
pear to have followed • bheir own
course in an attempt to withdraw
rapidly &CrOSS Western Galicia and
escape :through the passes of the
Carpathians into Hungary.
The 1.1,OIVIS is partial confirmation
Of the report tionsmitted by eere
respondents Petrograd` that there
was a quarrel ;between Gen. Dankl
and the Gerreamoommander, Gen.
von Hindenbarg, due to ,the cal-
lousness of the Germans in forcing
the Austrians to accept the perils
and hardship.s of a rear guard,
while the Germans themselves eon-
s,erved men.
Apparently the Anserlaris made
good their retreat houthward ,aciioss
the upper, Vistula, hut 'WM not
swift, enough to escape a , troming
movement bv lluesian cavalry which
crossed the Vistula from Starth-west
Poland and swerv,ed ,ea,s1w.ard while
a supporting force followed' the
Austrians from the noi•th.

sonal suite, the Queen left Len -
don and remained in the, hospital
for more than two. hours, which,
were passed in visiting the wards,
talking to the patients, and distrie
buting among them personal pre-
sents of pipes, shirts, cigarettes and
warm mufflers.
The Queen, who was shosvn round
the wards by Dr. Howard N. Beale
and other American members a the
staff, which is entirely American,
and consists el two American Red
CrOSS units of six surgeons end 24
nurses, was greatly struck by the
efficiency dieplayed,. whirl is en-
tirely due to Amerman effort, the

Defence of Ypres 'Will Rank as One of History's
Greatest Episodes
s1 despatch from London says,:
The Official Press Bureau issued
the following statement : "The
operations during the last few days
have consisted mainly of fighting to
the north of the Lys, where the
pints of interest were 51> first on
the line ef Hollebecke, Wytschacte
and Menhirs, There have also been
severe encounters on the line from
Zanvoorde to Frelinshein,
'The character of the fighting
has been one of frequent and vigor-
ous infantry attacks from the Ger-
mans, accompanied by heavy shell
fire, alternating with equally vigor-
ous counter-attacks, the general re-
sult being the maintenance of our
line, not without considerable losses
on outs side, but with still heavier
losses on the other. Six machine
gun3 and over one hundred prison-
ers were taken by us in one day. '
"The German artillery fire was
practically a continual bombard-
ment, intended to pulverize the de-
fence preparatory to the advance
of the infantry. In theeentre the
struggle has been at Ypres, the de-
fence of which will certainly be
reckoned in history as one of the
most striking episodes of the Bri:
ti8`1`1'Faoli''alirilf,)re than three week. the
Position, which projects like a bas-
tion into the eneiny'e lines, has been
held under a rain of shells which
has hardly ceased hy day Or night.
During this time the enemy has
poured successive waves of infantry
against it, only to see them brealt
to pieces, one after the other."
The bombardment of Ypres sere,
ed to absolve the allies of the oblis
gation of looking after nearly one
thousand German prisoners. The
German shells fell 01 the railway
station, where they evidently hop-
ed to blow •up one ef the armored
trains. Ab the moment prisoners
were awaiting the arrival of a spe-
cial train to 'convey 1115111 to the
south of France. They were killed
in appalling numbers, only 284 sur-
viving unscathed., One hundred
and sixty-one were wonnded and
conveyed to the British base hospit-
als. The others are still unburied
at the railway station. The Ger-
mans began a night attack and they
were well on toward Bethune. The
town seemed to he at' their mercy.
They had ,met little opposition, for
the thin line of khaki had retreated
before them, and occupied a posi-
tion on the slopes of a hill, The
.Brit,ish infantry opened st terrify-
ing rifle fire' which decimated the
Germans. in the meantime the
latter had brought, their artillery
forward and in the stampede that
ensued after the British fire opened
their gun crews and infantry be -
mune a panic-stricken mass of hu-
manity. The British .guns did their.
work mercilessly. The Germans
were driven back helter-skelter,
leaving pileof dead. Their guns
were also abandoned, Avith several
rounds or ammunition.
