Unconfirmed reports declare that their line has been thrown even farther back and that Ostend has been evacuated. The coast towns of Zeebrugge and Heyst have been vigorously bombarded by the allied warships within the last’two days.

H.K. THAW MUST GO TOO YORK Supreme Court Rules Against Slayer of White. ' THE END, SAYS HIS ATTORNEY Thaw Will Probably Be Returned to Matteawan From Which He Escaped ,Auj. 17, 1913—His Mother Is Undaunted —Evelyn Is Willing to Aid Him. WASHINGTON — Harry Ken •dali Thaw, who shot and killed Stanford White, will be returned to New York from Ne— Hampshire, his present asylum, to be tried on the charge of conspiracy to escape from Mattea wan He may or may not be recommitted to the asylum. The supreme court of the United States, in an opinion that was unanimous, holds that Thaw was not entitled to a writ of habeas corpus granted him by Judge Aidrich, the federal district judge for ! the district of New Hampshire and for that reason reversed the judgment i of the lower court. A mandate in the case will be handed down in about ; thirty days and until that occurs Thaw will remain in custody in New j Hampshire unless there is some other ■ sensational turn to the case. “ This apparently wil lend Thaw’s remarkable fight to keep out of the ; clutches of the New York state au- ■ thorities which began with his escape frem Matteawan Aug. 17, 1913. Surely Headed for Matteawan. It is the opinion of persons who have followed the case that Thaw will be formally arraigned on the conspiracy case when he gets back, into the jurisdiction of the New York authorities and then a lunacy commis sion will again pass upon him. That may result in his commitment to Mat teawan even before trial on the con spiracy charge. That he Is headed for Matteawan is generally conceded. Thaw’s case came to the supreme court on appeal taken by the state of New York from the decision of Judge Aldrich of the federal court for New Hampshire. This judge held that Thaw was entitled to a writ of habeas corpus but remanded him to custody until thfN supreme finally passed on the case. At the time the habeas corpus writ was granted by Judge Aldrich Thaw was headed for New York, the governor of New Hampshire having honored the requisition of the state of New York for his surrender for trial on the conspiracy case. The case was argued in the supreme court only a week* ago, William Travers Jerome representing New York state. The record of the ccuri in disposing of the case was unusual for so important matter and the opinion was by Justice Holmes. It was unanimous. Thaw Is Dumbfounded. MANCHESTER, N. H. — Harry K. Thaw stated that he would make no public announcement about the supreme court decision until after the arrival of Philander C. Knox. The Matteawan fugitive was dumfounded by -the decision. For the first time since his escape from New York he had nothing to give the newspapers and absolutely refused to be seen. Mrs. Thaw Undaunted. I PITTSBURGH, PA.—Undaunted by the latest failure in the long fight she has made for her son’s liberty, Mrs. Wm. Thaw at once began making plans to help Harry Thaw as soon as she learned of the latest decision es the supreme court. Immediately upon being informed of the ordered extradition of her son, Mrs. Thaw called Manchester, N. H., where Thaw is at present, over the long distance telephone. She will attempt to encourage him and will probably communicate at once with the array of legal talent that has been fighting to keep Thaw lu New Hampshire. This Is End, Says Stone. PITTSBURGH, PA. — Thoroughly discouraged over the decision of the supreme court of the Unite J States, handed down in which Harry K. Thaw is ordered returned to New York to be tried on conspiracy charge, exGov. Wm. A. Stone, Thaw’s pna-, cipal attorney, said: “It is really true. I am awfully sorry. Well, this is the end, for there Is no appeal. I can hardly believe It.” Evelyn Willing to Aid Harry. ; NEW YORK — Mrs. Evelyn Nesbitt Thaw, on being informed by a reporter of the court’s decision against her husband in her home, made the followng declaration : “If he (Harry Thaw) would show signs of rationality I would again go through all I once did for him. Once I took the stand and fought for him. I fought Jerome and all the rest ot them and I fought a winning battle. All the sacrifices I made at that time I would willingly make again for him.” Kaiser Back on Belgian Front. i LONDON — The German emperor, accompanied by the imperial chancellor, Dr. von Bethmann-Holl-weg; the ministers of war and marine, and a numerous suite, has gone to the western front, according to advices the Daily Mail from Copenaagm. |

Thursday, Dec. 17.—Four” steamers were sunk by mines off the east coast i of England, in the territory covered ; yesterday by the raiding German war ships. These vessels were said in England to have scattered mines to cover their retreat. Four steamers were sunk by mines off the east coast of England, in the territory vovered yesterday by the raiding German warships. These vessels were said in England to have scat-' tered mines to cover their retreat. Seventy-four persons were killed and 147 wounded, according to the best fig ures available, in the raid on east coast of England by German warships The heaviest losses were in Hartlepool, where, the British information bureau announces, fit'y-five persons The Berlin official statement contains these words: "The Russian of fensive against Silesia and Posen has completely broken down. In the w hole of Poland the enemy was forced to retreat, after fierce and stubborn frontal battles, and is being pursued everywhere.” Friday, Dec. 18.—The German squad ron which attacked the eastern coast of England, is said in Berlin to have sunk two British destroyers and dam aged a third severely. The British admiralty states that two warships were struck by German shells and that five men were®klUed and fifteen wounded, but makes no mention of the loss of any vessels. Both Berlin and Vienna assert that a decisive defeat has been inflicted on the Russians and that they are re-' treating along the whole line, their re-; sistance broken. These statements are not confirmed, however, by the Russian military authorities, who say that one of the German- columns advancing on Warsaw- has been routed and that elsewhere there have been no significant change. Saturday, Dec. 19.—The German war office statement indicates that the offensive in the west now rests with the allies. The Berlin communication speaks of a series of attacks, which, it is said, were repulsed. The French ! statement, however, assert that furtit I er important advantages have been j won by the allies, who, seemingly ate making an effort to push back the Ger man line at the sharp angle north of Paris, where it swings eastward. At j Albert and several other points, ac- i cording to tiie French war office, the allies won ground. In two instances it is admitted the Germans have made j progress. The German announcement says that in Poland the pursuit of the Russians was continuing and that a Russian cavalry attack on the East Prussian frontier hd been repulsed.. Petrograd dispatches say that the new Austrian expedition across the Carpathian mountains into Galicia has beer checked and that the Russian forces near the Silesian frontier are ho'ding their positions firmly. Sunday, Dec. 20.—The French war office statement says the allies have gained slight advances from the sea to the Lys, to the east and south of Ypres and from the Lys ot the Oise. | The report also states that the Teu- 1 tens were repulsed in attacks in the region of Lihons and in the Argonne. The German official communication says: “Southeast of Bethune we lost a trench to the enemy. Our losses were t insignificant. We made some progress tn the Argonne. On the frontiers of East and West Prussia there is nothing to report. In Poland the Russians are preparing strong positions near Rawa and Nidu. We are attacking them everywhere. It is now apparent that the German arm’es in Poland have been checked by the Russians in front of Warsaw and that Voh Hindenburg’s Invaders are actually in danger of at taqk from the rear. . < I
