ARMIES OF AUSTRIA
MASS FOR DECISIVE
MOVE ON RUSSIANS
Austrians March on Cracow-
Przemysl Line to Meet
Russian Advance-Gen-
man Staff Directing New
Operations.
VIENNA, Sept. 10.

VIENNA, Sept. 49,
Three Austrian armies are concentrat-
ing on the Cracow- Tarnow-Przemysl line
for decisive battle with the Russian
armies of General Ruzsky and General
Brussiloff according to an official an
nouncement issued here today.
This line is so miles long, apparently
following the railroad connecting the three
cities Tarnow is so miles east of Cracow
and Przemvsl so miles from Tarnow. This
dispatch indicates that the official an
nouncements in Petrograd of overwhelm-
ing Russian victories were greatly exag-
gerated by the Cars General Staff).
In the new Austrian defensive front
General Dankl, with an Austro-German
force, commands the left wing, General
Won Auffenberg has the centre with his
base at Tarnow, and General Boeveric
has the right where the Russians under
Generals Brusilof and Ruszky are press
ing hardest
A dispatch from Vienna says that all
the villages In the neighborhood OF
Przemysl have been evacuated by their
inhabitants in response to an order by
the Austrian military authorities.
The villagers are being conveyed to the
western districts of Galicia. 1ntrench-
ments are being dug around Przemysl,
and 1t is stated that the fortress is sup
piled with food sufficient to last for two
years.
The official statement says:
The position occupied by the Aus
trian armies has been heavily fortified.
General Boroevic will command the
right wing, with centre resting at
przemysl. the main centre will be
commanded by General Won Auffenburg
with Tarnow as his base, and the left
wing will be commanded by General
Dankl with the Germans supporting
his extreme left. His base will be
Cracow
Tho entire Russian left wing, com
manded by Generals Ruzsky and
Brussiloff. is expected to begin an at
tack. The initial assault Is expected
against Przemysl
CThe admission that an attack on
Przemysl is expected confirms Russian
claims that they have reached the River
San, but the statement that Generals
Won Auffenburg and Dankls armies will
form part of the Austrian front is
denial of Petrograd assertions that the
Austrian right and left wings have been
crushedJ
General Hoefer declared today that the
operations of the Austrian armies in
Galicia had not vet brought the main
forces into contact with the Russians,
and that only small forces had opposed
the l,ussian advance to secure time for
the strengthening Of the front where
the decisive battle is expected
Numerous wounded soldiers are being
brought here from Galicia. Among them
Is Fritz Kreisler, the famous violinist,
who was wounded in an engagement
near Lemberg
