England Will Need
 Thousands of Men

London, Aug. 29, 2:55 P. M.-Field Marshal Lord Roberts made the de- claration today that Great Britain, in the present war. would require hum dreds of thousands of soldiers.
 The occasion of this statement was the review of new regiment or 1900 London business men. In his ad- dress, Lord Roberts said in part: You are the pick of the nations highly educated business men. You follow professions, and you are do- Ing exactly what all able bodied men In the kingdom should do, no matter what their rank or station in life. My feeling toward you is one of intense admiration. How very different is your action to that of the man who can still go on playing cricket and football as If the very existence of the country were not at stake.
 We are engaged in a life and death struggle, and you are showing your determination to do your duty as soldiers and by all the means in your power to bring this war-a war forced on us by an am bilious and un- scrupulous nation-to successful re- suit"

Five'Russian Army Corps Routed By Austrian Troops South Of
 Allenstein, Is Berlin RepoI

Berlin, Aug. 29, by wireless to the
 Associated Press, via Sayville, l.. l. News of the defeat of nve Russian army corps to the south of Allenste ein is made public here today. It is re- garded as encouraging, and as greatly relieving the situation m east Prus- sia It is said to insure the flank of the German positions.
 Allenstefn is about sixty miles south of Koenigsburg.
 The Associated Press has been in- formed from official Austrian sources that the battle which has been in progress for several days past is ex- pected to be decisive. Austrian troops are pursuing the Russians from Kras- nix, about twenty miles north of the Galician frontier, in the direction of Lublin.
 There is no inva ding army between the river Bug and the river Wieprz. These rivers are affluents of the Wis tula and embrace a territory located to the east of Warsaw.
 Austria, according to this same authority, has invaded Russia and has occupied the region in front of the Zamose. (Zamose is a strongly forti- fled town of Russian. Poland on the Wieprz 45 miles southeast of Lublin.)
 The Austrians hold the regions to the west, north and southeast of Lem- berg, Galicia, and have advanced to- ward the Dniester River against strong invading forces of the enemy.
 No news was received here today concerning the situation on the French frontier beyond a special despatch to the Tages Zeitung declaring that the British defeat at St. Quentin was com plete. The British losses were heavy. and the routed British soldiers were forced to accept battle by the Ger man cavalry, who were in masses on their line of retreat.
 The location in the foregoing des- patch of St. Quentin in the Depart ment of Aisne, France. as the point where the British troops were forced to retreat before the German attack places the scene of this fighting con- siderably further within French terri tory than have previous reports. Up to the present time the British line has been described as extending from Cambrai to Le Cateau.
 St. Quentin is twenty miles south of Cambrai and the same distance southwest of I,c Cateau. It is within eight miles of the boundary of the of Somme, referred to in an official communication issued by the French war department last night as follows:
 "The situation on our front from the department of Somme to the Vos- ges remains the same today as yes terday."

London, Aug. 29, 4:05 A.

 Two or three army corps advanced as far as Kielce, where they en- countered a strong Russian force. A pitched battle was fought and re- suited in the overthrow of the invad- CTS, who sustained heavy losses. 1t was here that the Eleventh Hun garian Reserves met their fate.
 Operations in Eastern Galicia, ac- cording to the despatch, are develop ing fast and the Russian net is draw ing around Lemberg. The German Allenstein army is in full retreat towards Elbing and Marienburg.
