that / live in a brotherhood of forty
eight nations.

Two Questions Asked.
First-How long will the war in
Europe last?
Second-Which side will he the vic

From the replies and the reasons at

result. ON the question OF how long

by PetrOgrad

London, Sept. 25.-Copenhagen re-

the dispatches declaring that the Prus-
sian army is marching on Breslau.
Petro2rad, Sept. 20. Omcial.-"On
the southwest front the Russians have
taken possession of the fortified posi-
tions of Czysorlly and Foulstyn, which
covered number of positions be-
tween Jaroslau and Przemysl, taking
all Of the enemys artillery.
The Przcmysl garrison has evacuat-
ed Bourgade and Medyka and has been
repulsed in the east segment toward
the line OF forts.
There has been no lighting on the
German front"
Battle Lasted Seven Days.
Paris, Sept. ga Petrograd dis
patch says that among the engage
ments preceding the capture of Jaros-
lau that at Sadova on the Vistula river
was the most important. II lasted
seven days without interruption. The
Russians were forced to charge across
an open plain agI gIainst Austrian ma
chine gun fire from wooded hills. The
Russian losses were tremendous. They
were repulsed many times, but finally
the charge was successful.
To Await PrzemysI's Surrender.
Petrograd, Sept. 25.-lt is admitted
here that Przemysl will not be taken
by assault. The Russian field army
has enough men to detail to mask
Przemysl and wait for it 10 surrender
without affecting the efficiency Of the
general field forces.
Disease is proving almost as great
a factor in the decentralization or the
Austrian army as has the Russian as
sault. Dysentery and accompanying
epidemics. brought about by polluted
water supply and poor food, are de-
eliminating the Austrian field forces.
Many Austrians Deserving.
That many Austrians are deserting
to the Russians was announced at the
war office. II was stated that the
members of the landwehr and Of the
ersat2. or supplemental reserves. who
have been pushed to the front, believe
they are being deliberately sacrificed
by the army chiefs and are refusing to
fight. In addition many or these men
are Slavs and they prefer TO take their
chances with the Russians rather than
remain with their own colors.
Russians Before Cracow?
London, Sept 25.-A Pctrograd dis
patch forwarded to London by the
Rome correspondent of the Centrai
News Agency says that the Russian
advance guards already have arrived
before the Austrian fortress Of Cracow
to begin the siege.
The Austrian general staff issues
denial of the report of Russian victor
les and the defeat of General DanNis
army. The Austrian forces, the report
says, have been concentrated in new
position for several days, but nave
waited in vain for any serious Rus
sian attack"
However. 1t is reported that the Rus
slams have surrounded Przemysl ana
have got between that fortress anu
Cracow. 1t may be some days before
another battle takes place here, as
one Austrian army is behind the forts
OF Przemysl and the other Is maklhs
its way to the remaining fortress OF
Cracow, while the Russians are taxing
the smaller towns of Galicia under
their wing.
