.AUSTR|ANS ARE RETRIEVING SLOWLY Retirement More for Strate- gical Purposes Than
 Indication of Defeat

London, November 7.-(2.50 a. m.)-The Petrograd correspondent of the Morning Post says:
 The Austrian retreat on the Galician front indicates less a general defeat than a strategicaI withdrawal Although the Russians had been pressing the Austrians, the Austrians held several strong fortified positions, which were still giving the Rus sians the greatest of trouble
 The Austrians are retiring to excel lently fortified positions, resting on Cra- ccw in the south and on Kalisz on the north, 70 miles apart. They expect to make an impregnabie stand there and If they do Germany will be free to throw the greater part of the armies which invaded Poland back to the western front In an effort to crush the Anglo French defense. These German forces, despite reverses in Poland, are still large and valuable. After their failure before War saw, the Germans got their best troops away with comparatively little loss These troops, still in good fighting condition. probably are already proceeding towards France"

DENY ACCUSATIONS
 OF GERMAN PRESS

Washington, November GA foreign of- flee dispatch to the French embassy to- day denied accusations of the German press that the French were using Ger man uniforms.
 This ruse,' said the dispatch, "to which the Germans often have recurred themselves, has never been employed by our soldiers, who. proud of their uni forms, are content to fix their bayonets and hurl themselves into the assault of a position.
 'The Germans, however, often have abused the white flag since the begin- ming of the campaign, waiting to shoot down our troops at close range after they have advanced unsuspectingly.

 It was reported October 23 that the Japanese finally had installed their Siege guns on Prince Henry mountain and other hills near the town.
 The German fortresses included three lines of defense. The first of these on the outskirts appears to have been evac- iVan
 concentrated in Forts Moltke and Bis. marck and Iltis which occupy com manding positions on the range of pre- cipitious hills that circle the city. The
 Germans also had five forts exclusively for shore defense.
 The heights back of the city are pen- etrated only by the railway line and 1t Is probably through this path that the allies proceeded into Tsipgtau, once the defend- ing fortresses had been silenced.

 During Sunday, November 1, the Good Hope, Monmouth, and Glasgow came up with the Scharnhorst, Gneisenau, Leip- zig and Dresden. Both squadrons were steaming south in a strong wind and considerable sea.
 The German squadron declined action until sunset, when the light gave 1t an important advantage. The action lasted an hour
 Early in the action both the Good Hope and Monmouth took fire, but fought until nearly dark, when a serious explosion oc- cured on the Good Hope and she foun- dered
 The Monmouth hauled off at dark, making water badly, and appeared unable 10 steam away. She was accompanied by the Glasgow, which meanwhile during the whole action had fought the Leipzig and Dresden.
 On the enemy again approaching the wounded Monmouth, the Glasgow, which also was under fire from one of the ar mored cruisers. drew off.
 The enemy then attacked the Men, mouth again, but with what result is not known. The Glasgow Is not extensively damaged and has few casualties.
