WILL OVERWHEIiM
 AUSTRIANS, SAY RUSSIANS

St. Petersburg, Sept. 2-An of ffcial account of the great battle being fought along the entire Rus sian front was given out by the War Office yesterday. It follows: ''The German defence has stiff fened and we are sustaining severe losses, but the Germans are losing far more than we are, and de. spite the arrival of fresh troops who have strengthened the Ger man lines the enemy will be uIl- able to withstand our assault.
 In Galicia our army continues
 victorious and the Austrians, who managed to invade Russian PO-
 land in an attempted thanking movement, have been repuIsed with enormous losses and have fallen back. The Russian cavalry is covering itself with glory. In the Austrian retreat it surrounded an entire Austrian regiment and
 : forced it's surrender.
 As a result of the general en-
 gage1nent which lasted from August 26 to August 30 we took 1z,OOO prisoners and captured 120 Austrian and German guns.
 Austria now has in the field B opposing the second and third ? Russian armies (the first is in East Prussia) not less than 1, ,O0O,-
 men, The Austrian troops, how
 ever, are far from being the effec- , tive weapon that they had been E expected to be. They have been B unable to withstand either the } charges of the CossacI<s or the in faIrtry bayonet charges of the } Russian field forces. } Le1nberg is now invested and its } capture is believed certain. The Russian armies now operating in ' Austria are numerically the su- s perior of the Austrlans and are expected completely to overwhelm } them"

SHORTAGE OF SUPPLIES

There are two sides to- every ques-
tion, and in the matter of raising
meat prices it's only fair to consider
the following:
Chicago, Aug. 13.-John T. Rus
sci, president of the Master Butch
ers' Association, has sent a letter to
President Wilson asking him to for
bid expectation of meat on grounds
that there exists a shortage of sup
ply and a meat famine may result.
Live stock receipts last week were
the smallest since the strike at the
yard in 1904. J. Ogden Armour to-
day denied that the packers made
the war an excuse to raise prices
He declared that his firm killed
fewer hogs last week than in any
similar period in the history of the
concern, and that receipts are ap
preaching a famine basis.
