The Russians, the dispatch adds,
executed many bayonet charges
against the Austrians, which had a
large share in deciding the issue of
the battle. Elsewhere the Germans,

uhIans Fall Back.

=
To this generally the French Off
cial communication adds the fact that
the allied forces have fallen back to-
ward the southwest to avoid an &C.
ton which might have been engaged
under unfavorable condition.. How
far and to what line the allies have
gone is unknown.
There can be no revelation of mil
itary secrets. nothing which patri-
otto censorship could criticise in stat
ing these facts, because the German
army which is engaging the allies
knows precisely where their first line
Is drawn, and the purpose of the
censorship is only to suppress facts
which might enlighten the enemy.
