The reported landing of arms for Car

There were indications, however

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-(Special.) -
Terrific fighting continues on the Aus

Berlin reports the capture Of 10000
Russians.
From Austrian sources, it is stated
that the Russians are being pursued in
the direction of Lublin, in Russian Po-
land. Earlier advices from st. Peters
burg stated that the Austrians were ac-

A news dispatch from St. Petersburg
says the Russian advance in East Prus-
sia is proceeding and repeats earlier
Russian claims of successes in Ca

Fresh forces of Germans have ap.

bears out recent statements from Bel
gium that the Germans were withdraw
ing troops from their western front to
reinforce the Austro-German lines in
the east.
Up to noon today no official an
nouncement had been made at London
or Paris. News dispatches indicate
that the Germans are pressing toward
Paris and that one army is within 60
miles of the French capital.
Paris is preparing for a siege. Out
going trains are filled with non-com-

PARIS CITIZENS CROWD
ALL OUTGOING TRAINS

PARIS, Aug. 31.-No official infor-

public.
The unusual animation noticed in
the streets today was caused by the
thousands of persons preparing to
leave the capital. Many families are
departing as a matter of prudence. 1t
is felt here the fewer the non-combat-
ants in the city the better.
Trains to the west and south were
crowded.
Recent reports from Belgium have
told of the movement of German troop
trains east, indicating that the German
general staff was withdrawing certain
forces from their western front to re-
inforce the German and Austrian ar
mics in the east. Berlin and st, Pc
tersburg reports agree that there has
been terrific fighting in that district for
several days.
