Germany Claims Victory.

Berlin, Oct. (by wireless to Lon

entire theater of war is daily becom-
ing more favorable to Germany, &C
cording to official reports. Full conf
de9ce is felt in Berlin, and a great
decision is expected soon. The Off

THE encircling movements attempt
ed by the French against the German
right wing on October were re-
pulsed and the enemy's forces were
driven from their positions.
ION the center of the battle front
the situation is unchanged.
THE French attempted to advance
east of the Mouse by night and were
repulsed with heavy losses.
"Sorties from Toul were repulsed."

CLAIMS VICTORY AT ANTWERP
Especial correspondence.l

Antwerp, Oct. 6.-The situation in
Antwerp is serious. Unless the allies
give aid quickly the city is likely to
fall.
(The fact that this message was
permitted to pass the censor would
indicate that the Belgians' situation
in their temporary capital is most
precarious, despite official assurance
that they are holding their own and
that the situation is unchanged)
Berlin (via wireless to London !,
Oct. 5.-Army headquarters state OFF,
cially that three forts about Antwerp
have been captured. They are Lierre,
Waelhem and Konigshoycht. The re-
doubts about them also have been
taken, together with about thirty
guns. This breaks the outer circle of
forts and opens the way for an at
tack on Antwerp.
(Forts Wavre-St. Catherine and
Dorpveld were captured by the Ger
mans Sunday, thus making five Of
Antwerp's ring of forts taken by the
enemy.)
Antwerp, Oct 6.-According to Off
cial announcement made here today,
the situation of the fortified positions
around Antwerp remains today with
out change.

says:
"On our left wing the struggle is at
its height in the region of Arras with
out decisive result having yet been
obtained The action has been less
violent between the Valley of Ancre
(Albert) and the Somme and between
the Somme and the Disc. We have
progressed in the region of scissors,
where some of the enemy's trenches
have been taken"
Northern Wisconsin advertiser. [volume] (Wabeno, Wis.) 1898-1925, 1914-10-09

with no decisive result, according to
Bordeaux official statements.
1t was frankly admitted in official
circles that, while two weeks ago
the French occupied Lassigny, just
west of Noyon, the Germans now hold
it. Also, last week Roye was occu-
pied by the French; now it is Ger
man position. The fighting at St.
Quentin, to which point the French
had forced their advance ten days
ago, now is being carried on fully
thirty miles to the westward.
An announcement from the German
capital declares that the Germans
now have 100000 prisoners Of war,
about 1000 British, 10000 Belgians,
100000 Russians and the rest French.

German offeiaI Statement.

Berlin, Oct. 5 (by wireless via Say
vile, L. L)---An official statement
given out this afternoon follows:
"The gigantic battle in France is
still undecided. The Germans are
hammering the French positions with
heavy artillery. At numerous points
attempts by the allies to break
through the German lines have been
repulsed. They suffered their
heaviest losses near the Argone for
est The Germasn continue to make
steady progress.
"The fact that the siege of Ant
werp, the big battle in France and
General Won Hindepburg's operations
in the east are being conducted SIM
ultaneously is significant, indicating
that the Germans do not lack men"
An earlier statement by the war Of
fee said:
Our positions in France are stead
lily being made stronger despite the
repeated attacks of the enemy on the
right and left wings. Following the
capture of Fresnoy-le-Grand and Roye,
we drove the enemy back with heavy
losses west of the Disc.
Positions of no strategic impor-
lance to the German troops have
been evacuated by them and occupied
by the enemy
"All attempts to dislodge Us from
the heights Of Croanne have been re-
pulsed. On the left end of our CEN
ter Our superior artillery has forced
the enemy to give ground at some
points, where we have advanced and
strengthened our intrenchments."

German resumption of the offensive
was signaled in startling fashion by
the delivery of two furious assaults.
The first was series of massed
counter-attacks directed at the French

river, designed to break the pressure
that threatened the German lines of
communication into Belgium. The &C.

that the French were compelled to
give ground at several points.

AUSTRIANS IN PANIC
AT FALL OF LEMBERG
BY CAMILLE cIANFARRA.

Rome. - Returning after a two
months stop with the Austrian gen
eral staff, Arnoldo Fraccaroli, the Cor
rier de la Sera's correspondent, thus
described Lemberg's fall:
Cup to August Is Lemberg lived in
happy ignorance of the events on the
Galician frontier. The Austrians still
believed the Russian army sadly dis
organized and led by drunken, epilep-
tic generals.
"The censor had taken all precau-
ton against the truth leaking out. One
thing only was overlooked, and that
is what happened one afternoon while
the population promenaded in the
parks and thoroughfares. Lemberg
was suddenly invaded by thousands
of refugees arriving from every direc-
ton by foot, rail and on horseback.
They related the widest stories of the
Cossacks' doings.
"The flood of refugees continued
eight days, bringing along waves Of
despair, fear and misery until the pop
ulation had swelled from 100000 to
100000.
First Great Panic.
simultaneously the wounded began
arriving. Schools, churches, offices
and theaters were transformed into
hospitals. On August 26 the city was
housing 10000 wounded.
con the same day the Cossacks ap-
peared three miles from the city,
causing the first great panic. The
railroad depots were besieged and
general exodus began. Now the truth
was fully known, and news from the
front increased the panic.
simultaneously the city was being
treated to the weirdest spectacles.
Pickets passed hourly, escorting to
be hanged or shot groups of men,
women children and priests whom
the Austrians considered friendly to
the Russians.
Between the Goth, and 2Sth of Au-
gust the Russian artillery succeeded in
taking a position without being de-
tected. Suddenly the Russian guns
opened a tempest of fire on the
Eleventh army corps, which had come
within range, and with the help of the
Russian infantry and machine guns
was annihilated.
"The Third corps, dispatched to re-
place them, met with the same fate.
Then the Twelfth was rushed out to
be SHOT, sustaining enormous losses.
"Of 1000 men forming the Twenty
seventh Trieste regiment only 500 sur.
vived OF the Seventeenth Lubian
regiment only 800 survived; not an
officer was left.
Many Die in Panic.
"On the morning of August 81
train of one hundred cars was made
ready by the authorities to send out
the first refugees, but as soon as the
depot gates were opened the panic
stricken crowd rushed to the train.
crushed, women were trodden down.
The train left with people strapped to
every support.
"On the afternoon of August 81 35-
hour armistice was arranged and Co.
900 Austrian and Russian dead were
buried. Nearly double that number Of
wounded were removed.
"On the morning Of September a
general alarm was sounded. 1t was
the end Every Austrian soldier fed
without taking his arms or ammuni-
