German Wings Folding

The German wings appear to be
folding back ON the center, leaving the
sole loop hole for a backward move
ment by way ow Rethel.
The Germans main supply base at
Juniville appears to be placed in a
somewhat precarious situation with
its single line of railroad.
The line of battle has changed con-
siderably since the beginning of the
actual contact between the two greta
armies, whose numbers and real po-
sitions it is not permitted to make
public. The front now presents sinu
Gus windings in a country which is
wonderfully adapted to defence.
The allied commanders and husband
ing their mems lives to the greatest
possible extent by keeping them from
frontal attacks on positions where the
Germans are in advantageous situa-
tons. but whenever the plan of cam
paign necessitates direct attacks, the
French ard British soldiers go for
ward chcerfally.

MISTAKE mine
FOR CASK A N D
FISHING BOAT IS
BLOWN TO ATOMS
Nine of Vessels Crew
Killed in Wreck
off Italy

Rome, Sept. 30-(Via Paris, p. Nh
Details of the destruction of fishing
boat off Rimini by a floating mine show
that the fishermen mistook the mine for
a wine eask which they sought TO recov-
er. Throwing out a line they drew the
supposed cask toward them and when it
touched their craft an explosion occurred.
The boat was blown to pieces and all the
lime men on board were killed. Members
of other fishing crews in the vicinity
were wounded by flying splinters from
the unfortunate fisherman.
Naval experts express the opinion that
hundreds of mines from the Austrian
coast are floating toward italy and as a
consequence all steamship lines operating
to Dalmatia. Montenegro. Albania and
Greece from italian ports have suspended
sailings.
Ships which have been operating be-
tween Italy and Constantinople and other
Black sea ports have limited their trips
to stops at Saloniki and Dedeaghatch.

From the Battle Front (by way Of

along the 150-mile front from the

armies, and especially on their west

ter, where the Germans are more
strongly entrenched than at any 9TH

almost stationary.

FL Paso, Texas, Sept. 30.-Villa's
troops have attacked Saltillo in spite

was unopposed. The result of the
fighting at Saltilla was not made

Little French Information

Although the French staff is very
sparing with its Information it is evil
dent that the forces which advanced
from Toul to oppose the Germans who
crossed the Menuse near ST. MihieI
have succeeded in getting behind the
small contingent of invaders who had
successfully carried out an attempt to
bend the French line at this point.
Other offensive movements by the
French between verdun and Toul
were, however according to the Ger
man report. repulsed.
Armies Waiting
In Lorraine and in the Vosges there
has been no change in the situation
and here, too, the armies seem to be
awaiting the result of the greater con-
test going on further west. where,
British military experts believe, the
allies have at last firmly set the claws
of their left in the German right wing
under General Won Kluck.
The Russian armies continue to
sweep through Calicia and. according
to a report from Rome tonight. that
province of the Austrian empire is
clear of Austrian troops. What Is
meant is that the field ARMIES OF AUS
tria have either gone into the for
tresses of Przemysl and Cracow or
retreated to the south and west.
The Russians have come across the
country in great parallel lines, and
masking Przemysl. have swept the
country clar as far as a line drawn
from Douklo in the south, to the
neighborhood of Rzeszow, in the north.
while other forces have pushed their
way through the passes of the Car
pathians into Hungary. They have
only to go little farther to get pos
session of the railway that runs from
Sandeo through the mountains to Lub-
lau, and thence through the heart OF
the country to Budapest.
If they accomplish this they will be
able to join hands with the army which
is approaching Cracow. According to
