the loss OF the Galician province.
The change Of strategy thus en-
tailed Is diplomatic rather than
military. II takes into consider
alton the original outward rea-
son for the war, which was Aus
tria's desire to punish Servia for
the assassinations of the Arch
duke Franz Ferdinand and his
morgantic wife.
But, far more important than
this. is the desire of Austria to
possess territory at the end of
the conflict which may be traded
for the restoration Of Galicia, or
In default retained as adequate
compensation. Austrian diplom-
acy has suddenly realized the
value of Servian occupation for
this purpose, hence the employ
ment for q new Servian cam
paign Of q large force which
must be diverted from the opera
lions against Russia.
One more complication Is thus
added to many intricacies that
have arisen since the war began.
The progress of the Austrians In
Servia 10 q special problem for
Russia. The necessity for defend
ing Servia forced Russia into an
attitude that brought about the
participation of the western ma
lions In the war. That necessity
still remains. But to rescue Ser
via, Russia must divert q large
part OF her army for difficult
and dangerous campaign over
the Carpathian mountains and
through Hungary. n this Is at
tempted what will happen to the
Russian march on Constantine

prove itself to be q master-stroke

GERMAN ARMY. TIACOURT. France
-fBy Courier to Rotterdam). Oct. 10.
This Is story of the men who
form one OF the great human slaugh-
ter machines OF Europe In tears. II Is
a story OF how the real human hearts
OF men whose chief occupation now IL
to kill showed through their eyes as
they sang Of home and loved ones.
A story has been cabled OF the
"gesangverein," or choral society,
which has been organized by the Ger
mans In one OF the trenches north OF
Toul TO relieve the monotony of the
hours and days. Most of their singing
Is done In the deep black trench.
There ID the dense fog, the gray,
ghost-like figures of the soldiers; rifles
ready for instant use rest across the
protecting ridge OF earth, pointed to-
ward the enemy's line only 600 yards
away. The stiffness Is broken only
by the booming of artillery IA the dis
tance-and then song wells forth from
the men whose voices may soon be
stilled forever.
But today the "gesangverein" sang
In the old French church at Tiacourt.
The company had just come In for
rest after several days and nights In
the trenches. There was a soft. dim
light In the old church. The singing
society" OF soldiers stood In the choir
loft. Other soldiers and officers sat
on hard wooden. bench-like pews.
Scores OF soldiers stood In the
aisles. There was intense silence.
Then the musical director raised his
baton.
1T Is the day Of the Lord" welled
out In rich musical tones. II was
sung with the deepest feeling. AS the
anthem swelled forth q religious fer
vor shone In the faces OF the soldiers.
Among those In the pews and stand.
Ing In the aisles, hands were clasped.

via, the original cause of the war,

war. the Serbs carried hostilities
within Austrian territory.
The Bosnian campaign now has
collapsed and Austrian armies are

dairy. The battle of Valjevo,
which the Austrians have Just
won. Is serious defeat for the
Serbs, and ranks as the most con-

In which the Servians have been
concerned. valjeyo Is an impor-
