Associated Press information from
official Austrian sources tells of a
battle which has been in progress for
several days and which is expected
to be decisive. Austrian troops are
pursuing the Russians from Krasnik
in the direction of Lublin. There is
no invading army between the rivers
Bug and Wieprz. Austria, according
to the same authority has invaded
Russia and occupied the region in
front of the strongly fortified town
of Zamose.
The Austrians hold the regions
west, north and south of LemberG
and have advanced toward the
Dniester river against a strong Rus
san force. No news was received
here today of the situation on the
French frontier, except a dispatch
declaring that the British defeat at
ST. Quentin is complete.

Testimony was given today before

NO PERMANENT ADVANTAGE

OAKLAND, August 29.-America

European war but there will be no
permanent advantage to US in the
opinion of d.. l. w. w. Howerth.
professor of education in the Uni

The contention that the with
drawal from productive industry of
almost 20,OO0,o0O men abroad, and a
destruction Of foreign wealth and
life which no man can estimate is
to be of special advantage to the
United States is an obvious absur-
dity. You may rest assured that in
the long run the losses sustained by
Europe will be felt throughout the
entire world. The expense of this
war will not be sustained only by
Europe, but by America as well.

to $4,000 per year. The senate is ex-

LONDON, August 29.-The French
and British are gathering every man
end gun in Northwestern France in
an effort to stop the Germans on
their advance over the road to Paris.
It also is said that General Joffre,
commander-in chief of the French
army. will endeavor to strike at the
German right, and bring relief to
the British and French forces which
have been placed in such critical
situation by German outflanking
movement.
How far the allies have succeeded
| in getting across the German path is
not disclosed, for the outside world
| is ignorant tonight of what is hap
pening on the battlefield. A report
comes from Antwerp and Copenhagen
| that the Germans have commenced a
movement back from the west to
meet the Russians who have been
advancing so quickly through East
/ Prussia. But it is hardly likely that
| they will make any great demands
upon the western army until the big
battle, in which there seems to have
been q lull, has been definitely de-
cided.
| Field Marshal Sir John French, the
British commander whose army has
been so hard pressed, was in COM
munication with the British war Of
flee late this afternoon, thus dis
proving the German official report
\ lod
by the Germans. TOday's reports
from the German general staff were
rot more illustrating than merely to
say that the crown princes army,
| which has occupied Longwy, is now
advancing toward Meuse; that the
French advance from Nancy has been
repulsed. and that the third army is
advancing through Vosges.
This probably is the army which
was said to be making Belfo.t its
objective. The Russians continue
their march through East Prussia
and confirmation comes tonight OF
the statement that they succeeded
in investing Koenigsburg and had
taken Allenstein. 1t will be a LONG
time however before they can direct

their millions of men can reach the
