full, Would Make March
on Vienna Easy.

st. Petersburg. Sept. Alt is stated
at the war Office that the entire Aus
trian army is now in grave danger OF
complete annihiliation.
In Galicia the lighting forces are
reported as almost exhausted by rea-
son Of the continued Russian assault
and in their rear have abandoned
enormous quantities of supplies, in
GLIDING thousands of rounds of am.
munition, guns of all descriptions and
hospital field equipment.
The reports state that all Austrian
Galicia. from the border to the San
river defenses, Ia now held by the
Russians.
In addition, a Russian force is oper-
ating south of the Dneister river. 1t
IL stated heavy r-einforcements are
constantly going forward and that al
ready the Austrian army is so far out
numbered that its effectiveness as a
potent fighting force has been great
" reduced.
II Is believed to be the intention of
the Russian general stan to drive the
army wherever possible into the for
tifcations and leave enough troops
behind to bottle them up. thus MAX
Ing an onward march to Vienna easy.
The advance OF the Russians
through Galicia IL declared to be ex-
tremely rapid. The Cossacks are
sweeping the country in front Of the
Infantry, falling back whenever strong
positions are located. To the activity
Of the Russian cavalry much of the
present success Is due.
1t has deliberately violated the rules
Of safety In charging intrenched Aus
TRAN positions. and al q result the
opposition has lost much of its force

taminated and is more likely to ferment

drink much cold water during the hot
weather. thus injuring your stomach.
Collie, Fever, Ptomaine Poisoning and
other ills are natural results. Po-Do-Lax

Bile, the natural laxative, which rids the
