London.-"Pursuing their success,
the Russians have pushed over the
Carpathian range and captured Uzsok

the Petrograd correspondent of the

Belgians Occupy Alost.
London.-The Ostend correspondent
of Reuter's Telegram Company in a
dispatch dated Sunday, says: 1.-The
Belgian troops in a sortie from Ant
werp had advanced little over mile
in the direction of Erpe, when they
met a strong body of German cavalry.
In a sharp fight which ensued, the
Germans were repulsed and the Bel
gians occupied Alost."
Both Sides Reinforced.
London.-It was learned that addi-
tional British troops have reached
the scene of the fighting in France.
They are reported to have been land
ed at Ostend and Boulogne and to be
supported by new French army
sent north from the mobilization cen
ter in the south. 1t is this army upon
which the allies are now believed to
be depending to complete the isola-
ton of the German right and to en-
velop the armies of Won Kluck and
Won Boehm.
German troops are being trans
ported into France over the railway
line between Munich, -Gladbach and
Aix-la- -Chappelle, according to the
Amsterdam correspondent of Reuters

fact is stated in a telegram from

Russian Armies Sweep caIicIa.

Petrograd.-The Russian armies con-
tinue to sweep through Galicia, and,
according to a report from Rome, that
province of the Austrian Empire Is
clear of Austrian troops. What is
meant is that the field armies of Aus
tria have either gone into the fort
resses of Przemysl or Cracow, or re-
treated to the south and west. The
Russians have come across the coun-
try in great parallel lines and, mask
ing Przemysl, have swept the country
clear as far as line drawn from Dou-
klo in the south to the neighborhood
of Rzeszow in the north, while other
forces have pushed their way through
the passes of the Carpathian noun
tains, into Hungary.
The Colorado statesman., 1914-10-03

They have only to go little further
to get possession of the railway that
runs through the mountains to Lublau,
and thence through the heart of the
country to Budapest If they accom-
plish this they will be able to join
hands with the army which is ap-
preaching Cracow.
According to Petrograd correspond
dents, the invaders intend to treat
Cracow as they did Przemsyl, and con-
tinue their devastating march Into ST.
lesia. In the meantime they have for
a week been fighting the Germans all
along the river Nieman between kov-
no and Grodno, and thus far have held
them in check, while reinforcements
have been reaching them.
The battle is described as being
furious one, but no details have been
allowed to be made public. The Ger
man object in sending strong force
in this direction is to attempt to cut
the railway line from Warsaw through
wilma and Grodno to Petrograd.
The fighting along the east Prus-
sian frontier, in which the Russians
have been extending their front $50
yersts COG miles) has resulted in the
repulse of all the Germans attempts
to force the river Niemen.
