For the moment, the Allies ar: somewhat disippointed that the realization of a great Russian victory is denied them.They take some consolation in the fact that the German attempt to pierce the Russian lines has failed, and that; -shffering from : ic armies, elsewhere.The Russian report tonight says that the fight has lost some of its violence, and indicates some progress for the Russian troops south of Lodz.It is unofficially reported that the Russians.are.\u2018nearly in Cracow.\u201d } While there is every indication that another big battle is imminent in the west, there is no evidence that it has actually begun.There has been fighting in Flanders but this doubtless is the result of an attempt by the Allies to take some advanced position.There are also reports that the Germans have evacuated several villages on the Yscr canal and are concentrating on new positions.: The British have taken over commund ot the Yser region and, like the French, have been strongly reinforced.It is believed that on the first sign of a German movement in any considerable force ta the east the Allies will take the offensive in the west, N8 EVACUATION OF BELGRADE.Strategic Plan is Reason For the Move.Paris, Dec.3\u201412.15 a.m\u2014A despatch to the l'alkan Agency from Nish, dated December lst, gves the details of the cvacuation of Belgrade by the Servians It says: \u201cIn conformity with a strategic plan decided on by the Servian General Staff to meet the general situation created by the manoeuvres of the Austrian army, which penetrated the line from Oujide to Kocierits, Belgrade was evacua\u201ced.\u201cThe movement was effected in perfect order and without the Austrians at any time trying to oppose the march of the Seivian troops.\u201cOn the rest of the front there was nothing to report during Nov.20th.\u201d SERVI PARADIS WINS THE | LIGHTWEIGHT TITLE DEFEATED EUG.TREMBLAY IN BIG WRESTLING MATCH LAST NIGHT.Montreal, Dec.2\u2014Jean Baptiste Paradis, of Manchester, N.H., tonight at Sohmer Park became the lightweight wrestling champion of the world through his victory in two falls out of three over Eugene Tremblay, the local lightweight, who has held the title for several years.Both wrestlers weighed in under the limit of 138 pounds.The battie lasted for an hour and forty-five minutes, and Paradis was the aggressor for the greater part of the time.The first fall was by Paradis, after an hour and six and thrce- quarter minutes, combined ecissors and arm bar hold.The second fail was won by Tremblay in twenty-one minutes by a chancery hold.Seventeen minutes sufficed for Paradis to win the third and decisive fall by a combined crotch and body hold.Joe Lepage was referee.MONTENEGRIN TROOPS FORCE AUSTRIANS BACK.London, Dec.{\u20143.07 am.\u2014A gemi- official despatch from Cettinje to the Reuter's Telegram Agency says that tor the past five days the Austrians have made continuous efforts to cut off she Montenegrin army from the Servian army, but that the Montenegrins repulsed them, took the offensive and forced the Austrians to ree tire \u2018The Austrian losses are given »s six hundred killed and wounded, and the Montenegrin losses sa thirty- three.: ED.PLANK SIGNS : UP WITH THR FEDS.St.Louis, Mo, Dec.2\u2014Edward Plank, the Philadelphia Anterican\u2019s left-hand pitcher, today signed a contract to play with the St.Louis Federal League club.A telegram to this effect was received here tonight from President James R.Gilmore, of the Federal League by Phil Ball, vice.president of the local club, FOREIGNERS APPLY FOR NATURALIZATION PAPERS.Haiteybury, Ont, Dec.2-\u2014The European war has caused a rush of for- cigners to take out naturalization papers at district court sessions which opened before Judge Hartman here.\u20181 he crown attorney has petitions from 113 foreigners, Twelve countries are represented.There are in the aum- ber fourteen Austrians and seven Germans.London, Dec.3-4.0$ a.m.\u2014A Flanders despatch to The Daily News reports the return of Queen Elizabeth of Belgium, through France to rejoin King Albert, \u2019 QUEBEC, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1914.Is Well\u2014Franz Joseplÿ Has À Birthday SCP .OM PRETORIA SAYS GENERAL DE WET IS CAPTURED AUSTRIANS OCCUPY BELGRAD T + Ae ae + Fear i Repulsed\u2014French Make Som?Gains in Alsace\u2014Emperor!

warlike measures.Regarding the progress of the war, the French official statement reports a violent bombardment of Lampernisse to the west of Dixmude, an action to the north-west of the forest of La

interest taken in the reports concerning this great mysterious inland sea.Mr.Arthur Perry, of the New York Geographical Society, a descendant of the great navigator, wrote to Sir James LeMoine, of Spencer Grange, saying that report of the great lake had reached him, but that it seemed increditable that a body of water of such vast extent.only some four hundred miles from civilization, should have remained so long à secret to the outer world: if true, however, it would seem that the dscovery would have very important results.In reply to Mr.Perry, Sir James LeMoine states that Lake Mistassini was really discovered more than 200 years ago.viz.: in 1672, and noted in the diary of the heroic mis- sionaty explorer Father Charles Albanel.Although he does not gve the length or breaith of this great lake.he comptites its extent by sayng, it is s0 vast that it would take twenty days of fine weather to go round it.If one allowed 36 miles for a day's travel, thic would give a circumference of 720 mil-s.He met with 400 portages and waterfalls, and calculates that in gning and coming he travelled A0 leagues, the climate is halmy.and the waters swarming with fish.The diaary of the Rev.Father Albanel was published in Relations des Jesuites.and covers fourteen pages.Sir James LeMoine strongly, recommends Mr.Perry to read Fa-: ther Albanel's Journal.and \u201cyou willi

presented tonight for the first time in Quebec by Del S.Lawrence and a strong company, is a very human drama of Alaska that a good many of our readers already know.It would seem superfluous to re- | hearse here the story of \u201cThe Silver Horde\" for cveryone has read Mr.Beach's very exceilent novel.Suffice it to say it is the only real tale of \u201cThe Last West.\u201d the frontier now gone.It hreathes the freedom of the Alaskan plains, it brims with the virility of the life of that wild region.and yet it has the humanness oi real men and women who show their genuine qualities under circumstances such as these.It was written while Mr.Beach was full of the memories of six years under Arctic skies, when his vigor of the early twenties was at its best, and before any other plans and plots had entered his brain to confuse or vitiate his splendid ability.In dramatizing it he has the expert services of Fugene Presbery and the result is a play as atmospheric and virile as is the
