Nine Carload's Says- the Providence Journal1 JBritisb Papers See More Notes On the Way. and All From Sudbury. Tricks to Hide its Source—U. S. Suppresses the Manifest. Providence R, 1., Report.— The Providence journal will say to -morrow snorning: wrhe German. submarine Deatsch- land is now ready for sea, or can be made ready in an hour's notice. Every possible precaution has been taken to prevent the knowledge of the contents of her cargo becoming public property. The Journal, how- ever,. has received all details con- eerning this cargo. It conststs of nine carloads of niekel, averaging forty tons to a ear, and ten carloads of crude rubber, averagiag eighteen tons to a car, raaning a total shipment of five hundred and forty tons. In addi- tion to this material the Deutschland now has in her hold three carloads of a chemical known as chromium and one carload of vanadium, both used in the process of hardening steel. "There still remains in the ware- bousei of the Eastern Forwarding • Company of New London a consign - meat of over four hundred tons of crude rubber and two hundred tons of refined niekel, which is apparently stored for export by another subma- rine. "All the nickel aboard the Deutsch- land is part of a large consignment which was purchased in November. 314 3914, from the International Nickel Company at Communipaw, N. J. The Journal disoovers that this consign- ment was taken by the purchasers, os- tensibly German -Americans, but really men tatting for Dr. Heinrich Albert, Fiscal Agent of the German Govern- ment in this country, and trans- ported to the storehouses of the s Nassau Smelting & Refining Company, foot ot West 29th, North. River, New York. . "The nickel was then -transferred at various .times ter the New York Dock Company ia Brooklyn, where it was stored in warehouse No. 104, and placed in casks weighing from nine hundred to fourteen hundred pounds. The metal was partially, in ingots, and largely in the -form of about the size of buckshot, . Just -before the ar- rival of the Deutschland last :July the parties supposed to be controlling this nickel became active, and every effort was made to cover up the source of supply by a series of rapid shipments to various points. The last of the shipments took the consign-, ment intended for the Deutschland at Baltimore to Pittsburg over the Bal- timore & Ohio Railroad. The cars containing this nickel remained in the yards at Pittsburg four days. and were then re -shipped to Baltimore, being ultimately shipped to the docks of the Eastern Forwarding Company In that city. "The next movemelit of the nickel which remained after the first de- parture of the Deutschland came in the beginning of last September, and soon afterwards a number of carte& were received by the Eastern For- warding Company in New London. Two of the cars arrived in New Lon- sio don on September 14th, one on the fifteenth and one on the eighteenth. On September 25th two cars contain- ing both nickel and rubber reached New London, and these were tollowed on September 29th by another car containing both nickel an rubber. On October 11 another car cantaining nickel was received, and during the *next eight days twenty-nine oars of rubber, three cars of chromium and one car ot eanadtum were received. "All this freight was transferred. immediately on arrival, over a spur track, to the warehouse of the East- ern Forwarding Company on, the State Pier at New London. It was unloaded by employees of the corn- PanY immediately after being placed In its warehouses; the nickel was transferred trem. conks to shot bage, in which form it has been placed aboard the Deutschland for its ap- Proaching voyage. A large quantety of nickel which reached the New London dock e in ingots is still stored In the warhouses there.. The metal, which was purchased from' the 1n- ternational Nickel Company, reacned that corporation from Sudbury, Can- ada, through the Canadian Copper Company. "Ievery prevlous effort that has been made to ascertain the fecta con- cerning the cargo of the Deustchlaad has failed. The Journal's request to the Treasury Department for tide In- formation was referred to the State Department, which rulee that tlie publication of manifests is purely an international matter without inter, national character, and the Treasury Department was free to do as it saw fit, whereupon the Treasury Depart- ment ordered the suppression of the manifest. Treasury officials have stat- ed that the manifesto of these submarines would never be made public. Representatives of The Journal have been aboard the steam- ship •Willehad during the past week. They report feverish activity in the effort to load the Deutschland in the shortest possible time, and every in- dieation that, for some reason, she is .to leave port at the earliest moment. "It has also. been ascertained that since the arrival of the Willahad at New Louden, although. naval officers and Government inspectors - sealed that vessel's wireless apparatus, the captain of the Willehad has sent mes- sages over his wireles,s to sea several times within the past few weeks. The Part of the apparatus known as the "machine" was sent to New York sev- eral weeks ago by the captain of tht Winstead, oetensibly for repairs, but really in order to throw United States naval officers off the track' and to make it apparent that her wireless' could not be operated until the re- turn of this machine, As a reenter of fact, the wirelese operators of the Willehad have rigged up temporary instruments whicb can send- though they cannot receive. On both Wed- nesday and Thursday nights of the present week such messages have ,been sent from the Willehad through this temporary apparatus to some un- known vessels off Fisher's Island and Long Wand Sound." powl.M01•11•Pft SHORT TEMS OF THE NEWS OF THE DAY Lt. -Gov.

London Cable.—Driveng against the centre of the Russian line on the eastern front, German troops have gained possession of Russian posi- tions on a front of about two and a half miles. The attack, which result- ed also in the capture of more than 3,000 prisoners, was made by Ba- Varlans, and took place In the dis- trict of Skrobowa, 12 miles north-east of Baranoviehl, north of the Pinsk marshes, aud where only isolated fighting has occurred lately. The Rus- sians, Berlin also sayS, lost 27 ma- chine guns and 12 mine -throwers. The success of the Germans is ad- mitted by the Petrograd War Office, which announces that the Russians after stubborn resistance against seven onslaughts, were Malty com- pelled to fall back to their second line of trenches. Elsewhere on the easter a front to the Carpathians there has been little fighting, according to the official communication. As a result of a German counter- attack in the region south of Dorna Watra the Russians also were com- pelled to give 110 some of the heights which they had captured on the day previous, The battle here is still in progress. The statement says: "In the region of Strobyvy the ene- my several times attacked, and not- withstanding the stubborn resistance of our detachments, which had re - Pelted seven onslaughts, our troops were compelled to fall back to their second -line trenches. Flame project- ors were used by the enemy. "On the River Bystritza, in the re- gion of the villages of Potykov, Lien stryi and Bogorodchany-Staryie, our scouts tonducted successful recon- naissances. "In the region south of Dorna Watra, in the valley of Bystritza River, and near the villages of Khol- lo, Toldesh and Putna, the enemy counter -attacked with the result that we were compelled to abandon some of the heights we occupied the pre- vious day. The battle continues." The German official report 'of the battle claims that the Russians sus- tained a severe defeat. The attack was conducted by Brandenburg troops, it says, who stormed several Russian defensive lines over a front of about two miles and threw back the enemy near Skrobowa Brook. The Russians lost as prisoners 48 offi- cers and 3,880 men, The order -in -Council passed by the Dominion Government for the purpose of relieving the price situation is tloW in force.

Though few details of the battle In this Beater have reached London, it is belleeed by observers that the forces transported across the Danube by alackeasen must soon retire. Their Position grows more dangerous as the Russo -Roumanian army moves toward Cernavoda from the nortn. , Evidently the force's landed bY Mae- kolasen near Dunareav, either by mon- itors or over a newly -constructed bridge, were too small to make any headway along the railway to Buchar- est, ROUMANIANS COME BACK. Part of the Russo -Roumanian armY got across the bridge before it was Mown up; tue remainder retreated to the wild region of northern Dobrudja. The troops that croseed the bridge made their base at Fetesta at the Roumanian end, 12 miles from Cerna- voda. Now they are coining back. The Entente troops in the Dobrudja have occupied the villages of Tonal and Ghisdarechti, 12 miles north of Cornavoda, and are pressing ahead with little resistance. To -day they reached the Topal-Ivancesme-Karana railway, where they took 100 prison- ers. Large fires are reported in Cer- navoda. The cause of the Cernavoda fires is not kuown, but it is assumed that the Bulgarians 'lave given up hope of re- taining the city in the face of the dou- ble enemy drive and are destroying it before retreating. There are constant rumors that the Bulgarian population is fleeing over the Bulgarian frontier line. Led into a blind alley and unable to cross the Danube marshes, -the Prussian commander was obliged to return the way he ame, pursued by an army that was 'constantly being re- inforced from the north. Now at Cer- navoda he is menaced from the west bank of the river and at the end of his right flank, Constanza, on the Black Sea, is being rendered untenable by the guns ef the Russian fleet. With both flanks of his 35 -mile front under attack, and his centre being steadily pressed back, he is facing serious dis- aster. OVERSEAS MEN VION PRAISES London Times Correspond- ent On Their Valor. Canadians, Anzacs and New.. foundlanders. London, Nov. 12.—In the course of a long article on the .British overseas troops The Times correspondent at British Headquarters writes under yesterday's crate: "Former despatches have Paid tri- bute to the Newfoundlanders, whose record is .as fine, though as tragic, as that of any troops who have ever fought for Britain. In the first attack ,of July 1 the British troops overran the first German line, but were so ter- ribly thinned in number that they aould not make their way through the defences beyond. "The Newfoundlauders advanced to support, and went superbly into what proved a veritable death-trap. No soldiers in the world could have done better. They have the proud and me- lancholy distinction of having lost oficers and men in larger proportion to the total strength than any troops that day. "Three months later the Newfound- landers had their second chanee,, Con- ditions were more nearly even be- tween the enemy and themselves. Less than half of the normal strength of the battalion went into action over the parapets and reached a German trench 400 yards away. The trench was held by the enemy in strength, who stayed to meet them "When the trench was ours there was hardly a Newfoundlander's bay- onet that was not readr With German blood. The trench was full of enemy dead. Those who were not dead were -prisoners. "Then came the counter-attacks. The little force spread out, held the trend, 'which was normally a front Lor two battalions, and beat off coun- ter-attack after coUnter-attaele. 'When night fell the Newfoundlanders were very tired but very satisfied, To this moment, when the battalion speaks of that day, it is with great content." The writer pays a fine tribute also to the Canadians, New Zealanders and Australians. "No history of the battle of the Somme ectri ever be written without the tale of the fight- ing tor the Regina, trench, milted after a Canadian town, Regina, Sas- etalchewa.n." Concluding, the writer declares: "I have hea'rd Britisli officers speak of the advance of Australians as the finest thing they have ever seen. have heard Australians, speaking of le'nglish troops, say: 'If we could tight like that!'

"As the result of the improvement in the weather there was great aerial activity yesterday. Much ueeful work was done, many bombing raids being carried out on the enemy's comrauni- eations, billets and Mores. Air fighting was almost continuous. "One of our squadrons of 30 ma- chineencountered a squadron of from 30 to 40 machines. An aerial battle took place and the enemy squadron was broken up and dis- persed. Six of his machines were seen to commence to fall out of control. but owing to the severity of the fighting it was not peeeible to watch them to tho ground. "As the result of other fights nine more hostile machines were driven down in a damaged condition, three of which are known to have been de- stroyed. A hostile kite balloon was also attacked and sent down in flames. "Seven of our machines are miss- ing." 77 AERIAL COMBATS. Seventyaieven aerial combats were fought on the French front yesterday. .The War Office reports that in these encounters a Fokker and nine other German aeroplanes were brought down. The report reads: "There was great reciprocal aviation activity. yesterday, Our aeroplanes were en- gaged in seventy-seven fights. In- the course of these a Fokker biplane was brought down within our lines near Auberive; a Bumpier was forced to descend near Saint Hilaire Le Grande and two aviators made prisoner; an- other machine was certainly brought down and seven fell in the German lines on the Somme. Our -bombarding squadrons dropped more than 700 bombs on communications and canton- ments behind the front, especially on the railway statione of Lens and Vou- zieres. Bombs to the number of 270 were dropped on blast furnaces at Al - grange, near Thionville, on the aero- drome at Dieuse, on the railway sta- tion at Courceles-eur-Nied aao on air- craft sheds at Frascaty." The statement received from Ber- lin says: "During the day the alrmen were very active and gontinued activity by moonlight during a dear night. In numerous aerial engagements we shot down a total of 17 aeroplanes, the majority in the Somme region on both sides of the river.
