Regarding the progress of the bat.
tie which the Germans are waging on
French and Belgian soil, both French
and British governments are virtually
keeping silence. The movements Of

RUSSIANS CHECK ADVANCE OF
AUSTRIA AT LUBlN.

London.-Taking the French official
announcement which mentions that
the progress of the German right wing
has forced the allies to yield further
ground, would seem to indicate that
Germans, Notwithstanding repulses,
are making steady advances toward
Paris.
The Austrian invasion Of Russia in
the Lubin district, which aroused the
apprehension of the allies, has, If Rus
sian dispatches are to be relied upon,
been blocked and the Muscovites
claim to have turned the Russian de-
fensive into an offensive action. There
is no confirmation of the report that
the Russians are in Koenigsberg.
If silence means that there is moth
ing doing, Sir John French's state
ment Sunday that the British had not
been molested SINCE Wednesday still
holds good. Nothing is known by the
public in London Of new fighting
either in northern or eastern France.

position. BY its retreat 1t admitted
defeat. The Austrians left on the
field of battle 10000 dead and more
than 1000 wounded according to the
report.
Altogether" continues the state
ment, 5000 Of the enemy were
placed hors de combat. We have sent
to the interior more than 1000 men,
whom we took prisoners, and have
captured political guns, much ammu-
milton, the material for the construc-
ton of a 600-meter bridge and a train.
The battle was of great Importance
because it was decisive. The enemy
retreated to Santzek:"

GEN. JOFFRE WANTS TO FIGHT
IN ENTRENcHED FORTS.

Paris again showed It's remarkable
adaptability to circumstances. Though
illusions to such a contingency had
been strictly forbidden in the news
papers, that the Government would
be transferred to Bordeaux was an
open secret several days ago among
Journalists and public officials and in
military circles.
Among these persons the effect Of
the announcement had been largely
discounted. The public, after it's first
surprise is viewing the situation with
composure and there seems to be a
better feeling all around.
Military secrets are being so well
guarded that all reference to them is
largely speculation; but it is a reason
able superstition that General Joffre
prefers to accept a decisive battle
against the Germans in front of the
ports and the ~entrenchmed camp OF
Paris.

RUSSIANS MAKE IMPORTANT AD-
VANCE BUT GERMANS CLAIM
e. THEY LOST HEAVILY.

Official advices received through
diplomatic channels reported two of
the most important developments of
the present war. The German en-
bassy gave out a message from Ber-
lin, received from wireless, claiming
that German forces near Allenstein
had captured 10000 Russian prison
ers, including two commanding gen.
erals, 300 officers and the entire equip
ment of Russian artillery.
Great Britain asked the United
States to be prepared to care for
British diplomatic interests in Tur-
Wy, indicating that the allies had lost
Hope Of persuading the Ottoman en-
|,ire to remain neutral. Dispatches
received at the British embassy re-
'ferred to the incorporation in the
Turkish army Of several German Off
GERS, which was regarded as the fore
runner of Turkeys Intervention in
behalf of Germany.

mean the immediate alignment Of
Italy, as we'll as Greece, on the side
Of Great Britain, France, Russia,
Servia and Montenegro. Just what
the attitude of Bulgaria will be Is a
matter of uncertainty, though the
Turkish ambassador here gave out a
statement today speaking Of the COM
mun1ty of interests of Bulgaria and
Turkey. The Turkish situation was
watched with deepest concern by
diplomats because Of the imminence
of a general war in the Balkans and
extension of the war drama to all Of
eastern Europe.
The official statement of the big
German victory against the Russians
attracted wide attention. Military OBJ
servers pointed out that If the number
of Russians taken prisoner had been
correctly estimated at 10000, there
must have been great casualties, no
mention of which is made.

From Veryiers we proceeded by
another cart toward Liege. We had
not progressed three miles when we
came upon a party Of Belgian engin-
GERS mining the road. They had great
piles Of dynamite stacked there ready
to plant in the bitches they were dig
ging across the roadway.
They advised us to go to Liege by
another road; we fastened to do so.
1.-TWO hours later another party OF
Americans were halted at that very
spot by a, skirmish between the Bel
CLANS and 'uhlans. They were forced
to lie in a ditch while the Belgians
fired over them. Next day 5000 Ger.
mans were killed by the same mines
we had seen the engineers planting.

tend. We did not see any OF the fight

ton.
I'VE were able to get a train to
Cologne, however, into which city
thousands of troops were pouring
when we arrived. We got a train sup
posed:y for Ostend, but we were
stopped at Herbesthal on the Belgian
border. We had to get out Of the train
at 10 p. m. 1t was raining and we
had nothing to eat and no place to go.
There vas no chance to get another

morning l managed to get hold Of a
one-horse cart driven by a peasant
who said he would take us to Verviers,
where he thought we could get a train
for Liege. He gave us some crusts Of
bread which was the first we We had
to eat for Is hours.
"On the road we passed the most
pitiful procession of German refugees
fleeing from Belgium. Some were In
vehicles, but the majority were trudg-

their baggage in carts. Women with

NO SACRIFICE TO OGREAT FOR
GERMANS FOR SUCCESS.

The departure of Emperor William
Gin the direction Of Mayence" Chat Is
as much rs the press was permitted to
know or report about it, may be said
to mark the beginning Of this great
European war, so far as Germany is
concerned. y
AS in 1870, the more important Of
the Emperor's advisers went to the
front with him. The party included
Chanvellor o Bethmann-Hollwegg
Secretary of State o Jagow. War
Minister Won Falkenhayn and other
high governmental and army officials.
The plan Of campaign Is that
thought out many years ago and never
since departed from-to bend all ener-
gies at the very outset to the smashing
Of Germans Western neighbor. Rus
STA is to be left to Austria until France
shall have been disposed Of.
No one can come in daily contact
with the officers of the general staff
without being impressed with their
confidence in an eventual and abso-
lutte victory.
That the cost will be high is not
for a moment doubted, but the men
in charge of operations are determin-
ed to make any sacrifce, no matter
how appalling. d..
The people are inclined to under
rate the. size of the task before the
German arms. They are, however,
ready to pay the cost Of victory, how
ever great it may be.
A marked feature of the situation
has been the wonderful manner in
which the German mobilization was
carried out. Everything was pre-
pared in advance. There was not
during the whole period Of mobiliza-
ton a single question from any per-
son in charge of any branch of the
work. Not one instruction had been
misunderstood. An illustration Of TIE
thorough preparedness of the general
staff is the experience Of Americas
military attache, Major Langhorne,
who called on War Minister Won
Falkenhayn in the midst Of the mobil-
ization. Major Langhorne began to
excuse himself for intruding at such a
busy time.
= "Come in, Major" said Won Falken-
hayn. "I'm not particularly busy. I
haven't anything to do"

Paris.-Paris was disappointed be-
cause no German aeroplane few over
tie city. Crowds gathered in various
places from 4 o'clock in the afternoon
until 7 to watch for the aeroplane but
none came. Several French machines
patrolled the sky, ready to engage the
enemy. Many persons have been
astonished that the French a%viators
have not given chase to hostile ma
chimes flying over the city. 1t is ex-
planned, however, that only a plunging
fire is effective against aeroplanes,
and that is dangerous over a city.
