LOndon.-For five days the ritish
and French armies have beeL trying
to dislodge the Germans from the
strong line of defenses which they
have constructed on the battle front
stretching from the Disc to the Mouse
rives. There have been attacks and
counter attacks, but in the words Of
the official communication there has
been no change in the situation
The allies claim to have made
slight PROCESS at some points against
the German right wing north of the
River Aisne and to have. repulsed
counter attacks there and between
Craonne and Reims, while they say
in the center and on the right the
Germans are acting purely on the de-
fensive, having dug themselves into
entertainments.
At Last Reports Agree.
The German official reports are al
most identical with those OF the allies.
They say no decision has yet been
| reached, but that the allies power Of
resistance is weakening, that French
attempt to break their right has fail
ed, that in the center the Germans
sallies from Verdun have been re-
pulsed.
Russians Pursue Austrians.
London.-Reports received from Pc
trograd say the Russian pursuit Of
/ the Austrians continues and that the
/ Russians have gained important sue
! cesses over the Austrian rear guard.
| Conveys of two army corps with
| thirty guns and ammunition and 5000
| prisoners are said to have been cap
| tured. The whole of the Austro-Rus-
| sian border between Yusevoff and An
napolis is reported to be overrun by
! Cossacks who are leading the Rus
sian advance.
! The Russian army now in Galicia
| will be left there to complete its
work, for, according to a Rome dis
| patch, an army of 100000 Russians is
marching into Central Poland follow
| ed by another army of 100000,
while a third army also aggregating
| 100000 is coming from more distant
regions and will reach the front in
| October.
There are said to be 100000 Rus
slams already in Galicia and 100000 in
East Prussia. While these numbers
| ae enormous they are considered
probably a fair estimate of what Rus
STA soon will have available for war.
| It is said she will soon have 1000, 900
men on the move.
German Armies Entrench.
London.-A dispatch to the Elk
change Telegraph Company from its
Ostend correspondent says:
1.-The Germans are entrenching
themselves strongly on the River
Sambre, from Maubeuge to Namur.
have seen important defense works
at Thuin, Farciennes and F1oreffe.
Many inhabitants of these places had
been forced by threats to perform Ia
Dor on the works. I have been told
that the same kind of Notifications
are being erected on the Mouse, from
Givet to Namur, but it is impossible
to cross the Sambre to see for my
self I believe, however, my informa'
ton is accurate"
Austria DumbIy Waits.
Vienna-In the complete absense
Of satisfactory details regarding the
progress Of the campaign in Galicia
and along the Servian frontier, the
Austrian public is waiting with dumb
patience for some definite news as tc
what really is happening Ever since
it became known that Russia is max
ing great Roadway in Galicia the com
ment in Vienna newspapers has been
guarded, the editorials dealing chiefly
with the German campaign in Yves
tern Europe. The presence Of 10000
Polish refugees from Galicia, however
added to the constant arrival OF train
loads Of wounded, tends to offset this
reticence.
Transferring Troops.
Lsondon.-The Daily Telegraph
Rome correspondent says he learns
from an authentic source that eight
German army corps have left France
, and Belgium for the Russian frontier
