prisoners.
AT the center the enemy has given

AUSTRlANS LEAVE CRAC0W
Strongest Austrian Post in Galicia 10
Reported to Have Given Way Be-
fore Russian Attack.

Petrograd.-Cracow, the strongest
Austrian post in Galicia and one which
INSTRUCTED the advance of the huge
Russian center army upon Breslau, its
next objective, is reported as being
evacuated by the Austrians before a
furious attack of Russian cavalry and
infantry under cover of the destruct-
i've fire of the heavy siege guns. The
forts to the east and north of the city
were shelled necessarily until finally
the Austrian guns were silenced.
Cracow is the capital of Austrian Po-
land, and lies on a broad plain on the
left bank of the Vistula. 1t is only 80
miles from the German border, and
between it and Breslau little fortified
resistance is offered.
With Przemyl and Jaroslav invested
by the Russians and the way for the
advance toward Breslau practically
cleared, the investment of the latter
city, which is only 100 miles from Ber-
lin, is imminent.

France Stretches from Aisne
to City Of verdun.

Paris.-A furious battle is raging to
the north of the Aisne, where the Ger
mans have halted their retreat, thrown
up temporary earthworks n nave
turned to resist the oncoming allies,
who have been hanging persistently
at their heels for six days.
The line of the battle which shall de-
eide whether the German army shall
be driven from France to pursue the
war on German territory extends from
the Aisne river to Nerdun.
The allied forces on the left wing
are in close contact with the German
right, which has halted in its retreat
in a hurriedly fortified position north
of the Aisne, and the rival armies
pursued and pursuers-are o en-
gagged in a rear-guard action, the FIRST
decisive stand of the retreating Ger
mans since their retirement from the
north of Provins began.
The engagement has every aspect of
a designed to hold the allies
until the German armies behind this
covering force shall have had time to
reasonable and realign for the next
big battle on French soil, which is ex-
pected at the end of this week. Should
the final effort of the Germans to stem
the tide of the allies advance fail a
general retreat probably will be or
dered either to the territory between
the forest of Argonne and the Meuse
or upon German soil, where the kai
ser's armies may rehabilitate them
selves behind the fortified positions
on a line north and south from Metz
The operations north of the Aisne
are under direction of the German
crown prince from his headquarters a
Mont Faucon.
The army of the crown prince him
self has suffered defeat in its attacl
on the French line between Nerdur
and Toul, where the Germans attempt
ed to break through, in order to form
a junction with the supporting force
east of the Mouse.
That part OF the line above Aisne
on which the hardest fighting has oc
Cured, is between the forest Of LAu

OF AMIENS.
IN GOOD CONDITION
Germans Offer Resistance on Heights
Northwest Of Rheims, But Con-
tinue to Retire in Argonne and
Meuse Region.

Paris.-The French official state
ment says that French troops have re-
occupied Amiens, which was abandon
ed by the Germans, but that the Ger
mans are making a stand on the River
Aisne.
The statement is as follows:
"On our left wing we have every
where caught up with the rear guards
and even the main body of the enemy.
"Our troops have ~re-entered Amiens,
abandoned by the German forces.
THE enemy appears to be making a
stand on a prepared front along the
River Aisne.
ION the center, similarly, it would
seem as If the enemy intends to resist
on the heights to the northwest and
to the north of Rheims. In the region
between Argonne and the Mouse he
continues to retire.
"On our right wing, in the Woevre
district, we have succeeded in reliev-
ing the fort of Troyon, which has been
attacked time and time again during
the last few days. (Troyon is IL miles
south, southeast Of Verdun.)
an Lorraine our pursuing detach-
ments are keeping, as everywhere else,
in touch with the Germans.
1.-THE morale and sanitary condition
of our armies continue excellent"
Pursuit of the r%etreating German ar
mics by the British and French forces
continues with vigor, according TO the
French view.
Despite their great numbers the Ger
man withdrawing movement is being
carried III with rapidity and clever
ness. The main body appears to be ap-
preaching the Belgian frontier, while
the German left wing seemingly is
gaining shelter in German Lorraine.
So far as known the fleeing invad-
ers who, after wonderful forced
marches into France, made such a
stern attempt to break through lines
Of the allies defending Paris, have
abandoned more than 60 cannon Of
various caliber and 80 machine guns
because their exhausted horses were
unable to drag them fast enough to
keep up even with the foot-weary In
fantry. Enormous amounts of ammu-
milton and war stores also were left
on the route of the Germans, which is
through a difficult marshy country,
rendered almost impossible in some
places by heavy rains which threaten
to continue.
The allies, 1t is asserted, display no
signs of fatigue. They are represented
as stirred by Unexpectedly great vic.
tories to such a state of elation that
they are able to keep close on the
heels of the retiring enemy, harassing
them day and night, cutting off de
tachments and attempting to inter
pose between them and the frontier
1t generally is believed here that
the next phase Of the gigantic war will
take place in German territory. The
allies, according to the military ex
perts, doubtless will endeavor to pre-
vent the German armies should they
succeed in eluding capture, from TAX
ing strong defensive positions near the
frontier.
