FEAR OF INVASION FORCES ENGLAND TO SENDJOLDIEfiS Rushes Troops Into Belgium to Check Coast Advance of Northern Army of German Kaiser.

BY FRANKLIN P. MERRICK, Staff Correspondent of the International New Service. PARIS, Nov. 5. Alarmed by he possible results which might follow German occupation of the coasts of Belglum and northeastern France, England has rushed reinforcements to the front and it is now estimated that 460,000 British soldiers have been poured into France and Belgium since the outbreak of the war. The number of English troops fighting with the French and Belgians is less than that Cumber now, owing to heavy losses which have been inflicted in the violent fighting, especially In the northern sphere of hostilities. The latest batch of British reinforcements include marines that were landed from English Men-of-War at Dunkirk, and other points near the Belgian border. They have been pushed forward to oppose the German forces which have been struggling toward the English Channel ('oast. The great battle front more than two hundred miles in length, is still marked by hard fighting at many places. There are numerous zones of Vigorous activity, but the three chief are as stretch from Ypres to Arras, from Soissons to Craonne and from the Argonne District past Verdun, down the Meuse Valley. Having been compelled to retire from the eastern bank of the Yser in Belgium, the German troops are being massed for an assault somewhere between Ypres and tlie Lys. The flooding of the lowlands of West Flanders, however, has had its advantages for the Germans. While they undoubtedly lost some men and a considerable number of guns, and quantities of munitions and stores the floods from several dykes have hindered the English and Belgians from advancing. The country which was flooded is low and flat, offering little opportunity for shelter. In falling back, the Germans have occupied lines of trenches which were erected a fortnight ago on high ground. The Germans have apparently made a slight gain west of Lens although it lias not been mentioned in official announcements from the war office. There has been artillery duelling there nince Tuesday night, but it has not been continuous. Unofficial dispatches say that the artillery fighting was marked by sudden spurts or the most Intense vigor, followed by lulls. North of Arras, the Germans are irftilntalntng vigorous counter attacks, In answer to the pressure of the French and British. These counterattacks are undoubtedly intended to divert attention from Belgium. Near Vailley, the Frehch again occupy the south bank of the Aisne, having been twice driven across that stream by the furious attack of the Germans. The French have been struggling hard to maintain the offensive there, but the Germans despite fifty-four days In sodden trenches are still alive with the fighting spirit. In the Argonne and on the Meuse, the fighting consists of alternate exchanges of artillery fire and infantry charges.

GERMAN TROOPS MAKE PROGRESS TO WAM COAST Berlin Admits Advance is Slow, But Insists Pounding of Allies at Arras Effective.

FORETELLS SUCCESS Denies Russians Take Many Prisoners and Germans Leave Wounded Behind in Poland Campaign. BY FREDERICK WERNER, Staff Correspondent Representing the International News Service. BERLIN, via Amsterdam, Nov. 5. German troops are making progress in their campaign to reach the French coast, it was announced here today, but it was stated their progress would necessarily have to be slow because the allies are using all their vallable forces and have constructed strong defensive works. The Russian claims that they have taken thousands of prisoners, and ; many guns from the Germans in Polland were officially denied today. The statement relating to the Russian ! claims of great victories was as fol lows: Leave No Prisoners. "The Russians have made no prisoners recently nor have any wounded been left in their hands. The Germans have lost no machine guns. Their retirement upon their entrenched line in Poland was wholly successful." Diseasing the German operations about Ypres, Belgium, Major Mohar. military expert of the Tageblatt, says that the Kaiser's forces will drive the English back to the sea. He asserts that the Germans are pounding the French left wing at Arras with probabilities of success and that the steady German attacks along the Aisne, east cf Soissons, are part of the same camiaign.

STOCK QUARANTINE STOPS SHIPMENTS DVERJTATE LINE Richmond Traders Feel First Effects of Ravages of Disease in North With New Order Effective.

The first indication of the stringency of the quarantine against live stock in Indiana made necessary by the mouth and foot disease in the northern part of the state, struck Richmond yesterday when the prohibition of sale of horses, cattle and hogs into Ohio went into effect. Under the rule any farmer who drives .cattle or hogs acr0a- ie state line is amenable to federal laws, which are bd '.'frinet that even the transportation of a Toad of hay or straw across the line Is a penal offense. CLOSE CHICAGO YARDS. CHICAGO, Nov. 5. The Union Stock Yards, the largest live stock market in the world, will be closed tomorrow afternoon at 5 o'clock until Monday, Nov. 16. The closing of the yards, which the Federal authorities have been trying to get for a week on account of the possibility of the spread of the foot and mouth disease, was finally agreed to last night, by Governor Dunne. As the cattle, sheep and hogs now on hand are disposed of by the packers, the empty pens will be thoroughly scoured and disinfected. It will take about three days to kill all of the stock now on hand. Although there are only five cases of foot and mouth disease among the thousands of animals in the yards, the Federal authorities insisted that they could not curb the spread of the plague in neighboring states while the great clearing house for stock here remained open. The foot and mouth disease was recognized as a national peril today when the federal authorities extended the quarantine to New York and Maryland. Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Pennsylvania had previously been quarantined. Shipment of stock out from the yards at Buffalo, Pittsburg and Indianapolis has been forbidden. That meat prices would be advanced was denied today by Edward Tilden, president of the National Packing company. "There ha,ve been no cases reported in the west where we get the most of the supply," said Mr. Tilden. "As long as the west is not infected, quarantine here and in the east will not raise the wholesale price of meat. We have large supplies on hand." The state and federal authorities clashed several times over their authority in handling the campaign against the epidemic. The government has no right to order the yards in Chicago closed or to forbid the Importation of cattle except from other states. AT CONFERENCE. John Melpolder, secretary of the Central Bureau for Charity and Social Service, probably will attend the annual meeting of the Ohio conference of Charities and Corrections, November 11 to 13.

JAPANESE WARSHIPS RUSH TO FIGHT WITH 3 GERMAN CRUISERS

BY LEASED WIRE. VALPARAISO, Chili, Nov. 5. The next great sea battle in the Pacific will probably be fought between the German cruisers which defeated an English squadron off the Chilean coast and Japanese warships reported to be on their way toward American waters. A steam collier, which has just arrived from Easter Island, reports having seen eight powerful Japanese men-of-war. Easter Island lies about 2,300 miles west of Chili, and if the Japanese men-of-war steamed eastward at a. rate of speed equalling that of the collier they should be near the American coast now. The Scharnhorst an the Gneisenau, two of the German cruisers in the fleet which decisively defeated Rear Admiral Christopher Craddock's fleet on Sunday evening, sepdin the cruiser Monmouth to the Bottom, called at Easter Island on October 14. The ships had come from Australia and took on board large quantities of provisions. The German men-of-war also took cn board additional supplies at this port. It is believed that their precipitate departure yesterday was to prevent being bottled up by a superior Japanese fleet. When the Scharnhorst and Gneisenau departed they were accompanied by the light cruiser Nurnberg. They did not reveal their destination, but the commander of the squadron caused it to be known that he was off to intercept a British merchantman which was somewhere off the coast. The Chilean government is making It known through its diplomatic representatives in North America and Europe that the neutrality of this country is being effectively guarded.

BY JOHN C. FOSTER, Staff Correspondent Representing The International News Service LONDON, Nov. 5 Reports of the loss of two German cruisers, the Yorcke and Koenigsberg, brought home to England today that the tide of victory on the seas, which thus far has been flowing in favor of Germany had begun to turn.

She had a displacement of 3,348 tons and a speed of 23.6 knots. The Koenigsberg carried ten 4.1 inch guns and two machine guns. Her crew numbered 322 men.

The British and Japanese ships that have been hunting the Emsden have also been conducting a search for the Koenigsberg.

Progressive, was benefited by an overwhelming political landslide, but Tuesday's results bore out the predictions of those familiar with political conditions over the Sixth district that there would be a great reduction in the Gray vote. Returns at hand today from the eight counties in the district, some official, show Gray's plurality over Lynch was 3401. a reduction of 5644 over two years ago, or more than onehalf.
