DEAD TEN MINUTES; RESTORED TO LIFE Patient Passes Away Under Operation and Is Revived by Surgeon Grasping Her Heart in His Hand and Pumping It?Three Witnesses. i'? TSeesarsue, te Tii? Tri*-.in. : Los Angeles, Pec. I. A modern won tier of medical science was performed yesterday afternoon at the Good Samaritan Hospital, according to the statement of three physicians, who say that Mrs Walter W. Akers. of 1022 ?.?ramercy Place, wife of the California manager for the International Fruit Products Company. \vu* restored to life , after being dead for ten minute?. "The 'raising' was not from a theo- . retical death, or state of coma, as it i? I ordinarily understood," said Iir. P. M. Williams, of 307 Brockman Building, who, with Dr. C. B. Hutchison, of the ; Los Argiles Investment Building, was a principal in the restoration. "Mrs. Akers was actually dead. Her heart had stopped its functioning; there was no pulse, the eyes were fixed ?n the glare which ?pells to every ' medical man the eternal sleep; there t wag no response to the usual tests. The | patient was dead. "The end came during the progress < of a major operation. The operation ' was progressing in due course when ' our attention was directed by I)r. W. S Holman, who was administering the ' anapstr-.etic, to the woman's complete collapse to her death, in fact." Mr. Akers, who was awaiting the re? sult of the operation in an adjoining room, was summoned, and realised in? stantly that all was over. Then something happened. The doc? tors went to work. Nurses with the training of the battlefield began tho administration of oxygen. Dr. Will? iams vigorously applied himself to pro- , ducing artificial respiration, all at first to no effect. Dr. Hutchison next inserted hi? ' hand through the incis;on made in the abdominal wall during the course of the operation, slowly, carefully, until the diaphragm was reached. One finger grasped the top of the heart; hi?' thumb was at the bottom. A Plight compression, another nnd another followed, until the phyaiclaii'l hand was contracting and dilating the organ of life in simulation of the heart, PLAYWRIGHT WON AUTHOR'S WIFE "Blindness of Virtue" Trip Brings Cosmo Hamilton Into Divorce Case.

' ? GERMANS IN ANOTHER DRIVE AT WARSAW AS CRACOW FACES SIEGE Reinforced Army of Kaiser Beats Against Czar's Centre and Left in West? ern Poland Around Lodz. OPPOSING LINES ARE STRAIGHTENED Russians Mount Big Guns at Wieliczka, Suburb of (ialician Stronghold, to Batter Down City's Outer Forts. The German army in Western Poland, reinforced and with Its linei reformed, is making a violent effort to break through the Russian front southwest of Lodz and force a way to Warsaw. The Russians thus far have held their lines. The Russians in Galicia are mounting siege Runs at Wie?czka, which will reach the outer forts of Cracow. This strong? hold is the door to Vienna, Breslau and Berlin. The Germans have renewed their attack on the Allies and th<> fight? ing now extends along nearly the whole battle line in France and Belgium, The attack was preceded by a daring attempt of the Germans to cross the Yser in the dark hours before dawn. They were discovered, howevor, and repulsed. They have advanced at no point so far. An unknown aviator flew over Essen, Germany, and dropped several bombs on the Krupp gun factory, damaging some of the ouildings. Ho escaped uninjured. GERMANS IN FIERCE AHACK ON ALLIES Fighting Now Going On Along Nearly Whole of Batt-e Line. [Bt CSSli o? Th? Trll.iin? 1 Northeastern France, Dec. 3. Fierce fighting* is now taking; place along a considerable part of the battle line. The Germans anticipated the con? certed forward movement of the Allies by making a spirited attack themselves. The Allies were not taken by surprise. Never was an army more ready to de tun? itself. The Allies now are in a position to bide their time, and a new German ; offensive probably will not cause them ; to change their well matured plans. The new German attack so far has met with no success. It extends more or loss along the whole line, but is con? centrated principally to the north of Ypres and on toward Dixmude. The fighting was most severe here, but all attacks were successfully repulsed. In the dark hours before dawn yes? terday morning a large force of Ger? mans crossed the flood waters of the Yser by means of big broad rafts. The ? venture was ? desperate one, for not a man who set out on it could have been ignorant of the fact that death was almost certainly awaiting him. The rat', were punted through the shallow waters in dead silence and in utter darknesi. Euch carried about fifty or sixty men and some mitrailleuses, in preparation for the dawn. further fleet of rafts drawn by motor boats was waiting on the Ger I....H lids of the muddy waters, but be? t?re dawn fame the plot was discov? ered, and when daybreak arrived the rirtillery of the Allies met the advanc? ing Germans with devastating effect. In spit? of tii<ir losses these Germans, brave -ven *o madness, still essayed the :rofsing. They were partly covered by * heavy cannonade by their field artil ery, and until midday the Germans ?till persisted in their plan. Several rafts were upset in midstream by the ire of French guns, and a great number if GonoOBS were drowned as well as ?hot. Once again the Yser claime?! it? -leavy toll, once again German blood ?tamed its waters crimson. The attack eventually ceased after he Ganosos had suffered immense OSSOl in men and mitrailleuses, but :he artillery kept up a determined bom ?ardment of the allied position, meet ng with a vigorous, weil directed reply. \s I mentioned in previous dispatches, . he Germans have withdrawn their i.r.vy artillery on account of the nuddy nature of the country, but they .ave now brought into action a new rospoo, whicn is exceedingly well , idapted to the changed nature of the | varfare. Numbers of light guns, with a range ( lp to seven kilometres, have beer. ; nounted on motor-lorries with power ui engines. These lorries are solidly lonstructed and are fitted with excep ionally large springs, arranged so as I o keep the gun steady whi'e being . ?red, and to break the force of the re o! ?ftsr a disrharge. The obvioui ad antage about this arrangement is that ' run? ean be moved speedily along roads < ?-hich ??ould be impassable to guns of , , heavier calibre. Many of these guns were supposed o be at work yesterday around Ypres. I 'he positions held by the French and ( Iritnh were fiercely attacked, but the ( lilies managed in the main to hold heir ground, and the Germans gained ' othing to repay them for the ruth- 1 rifice of many lives.

Mama i Petrogrsd, Dec. 3.?With the now acknowledged failure of the Russian strategy which planned the capture of a huge ?ection of the German army of invasion in Western Polind, it i? ap? parent that the Kaiser's general? hare forced a new phase of the conflict, of which a violent offensive against the Russian centre and left is a? yet the principal feature. Thus far the Germans hare gained no advantage other than that attendant upon the straightening of their front, a? all their attacks, it is reported, have been repulsed, while the Russian?, as well, have strengthened their lines to meet the assault?. L'nofficial report? clai.n a distinct ad? vantage for the Ru?sian armie? in tho south, where the forces of Grand Duke Nicholas are preparing for the lonir i looked for attack on the Austrian ?tronghoid of Cracow. Cracow Commands Capitals. Thi? fortress commands the highroad i leading to Breslau. IM miles to the northwest, which is the next main bar? rier on the road to Berlin, 175 miles further on in direct line. Cracow alan is the gateway to the road to Vienna, 200 miles to the ?outhwesf The Russian forces to-day are mount? ing heavy siege guns northwest of Wieliczka, a ?ubtirb of Cracow, which soon will be dropping shells on the outer ring of the city's forts. Military' experts are looking forward with in? tense interest to the result of the bom? bardment, which will be taken to indi? cate the relative effectiveness of the Russia' siege artillery and the great gun? of the Kaiaor'.s army, whrch bat? tered down the defences of Namur, in Belgium, in so short a time. The ne?vs that the Russians had taken Wieliczka, which is only three miles from the outer fortification? of Cracow, seems to indicate to some, however, that there is something wronj with the defences of that fortress, a Wieliczka should be well within the range of the minor armaments of a f.rst class fort. Plain Not Abandoned. It became more apparent to-day that the Germans have not abandoned in the least their interrupted attempt to rearh Warsaw. Fighting of a violent character, it is reported from the front, is going on in the Lodz region, especially to the southwest of that dty. The battle in thi? territory is briefly mentioned in the following offi? cial statement isaued to-night from general headquarters: "Fighting continue? in certain dis? tricts along the front in the region of Lowics. Important forces of the pnemy, chiefly the troops transported n November from the German we?t front, opened an offensive on December i in the region of Lioutomersk and ^zezercow. "On the rest of the front on the left lank of the Vistula there is no par icular modification in the situation. "Beyond the Carpathians our troona i.ivc taken Bartfeld, capturing eight ifiicer?, 1.JU0 men and six machine run?."
