Here liz the story of the second battle
OF Sedan. told by the correspondent:
The French general ordered his
troops to fall back across tho river
and take up positions on the opposite
heights. The bridges were mined. but
were left standing In order TO deceive
the Germans into thinking that the
French were retrcatinE hastily. The
ruse succeeded. The Germans adj

regiments had crossed, the French blew
up the bridges. and the French ar

The Austrian reverse at LemberG.
however, changed the situation in the
north, and for a time the position of
General Won AuffeTburgs army was
said To be precarious, as the Russians
threatened TO cut him off. BY desperate
lighting he managed to retreat safely
TO RzesZow. Galicia, where he again
formed 4 junction with General Dankl,
and the two armies retired towards
Tarnow and Cracow
The last definite news received of
General Won Auffenburg was that he

WASHINGTON. October THE Brit :
ish government to-day through Ambas-
sador Sir Cecil Spring Rice. notified the
State Department that Great Britain
would not interfere with Shipments Of
foodstuns from the United States TO
Holland.
Great Britain also has agreed to re-
ease any seized carRoes rs soon as II is
established that their destination is
Holland. 1t Is understood that Great
Britain has impressed upon Holland
that according to her duties as n neu-
tral state, she must not permit food
stots or other cargocs destined to the
German army TO pass her borders. The
practical effect Of the arrangement Is
expected to be that foodstuffs may pos
sibiy pass into Germany If IT Is clearly
established that their use is to be con-
fined to civilians. as in notifying the
United States OF Its action the British
government stipulated no restrictions
on destinations
The understanding. however, applies
only TO the status Of shipments in tran
sit between the United States and HoI-
