how can that be objected to by parties

Why should they be exempt because

in the battle between the Olse and
| Meuse Rivers.
1t was explained that the German
lines have been extended at certain
points and now include the original
French lines. The battle, however, is
expected TO last for several days be-
cause of the long line and the number
of men engaged.
Reports that the Germans had run
out of ammunition for their field guns
are denied Indignantly Instead, the
lines of communication are perfect.
Trains are run directly to the central
points of the battle line from which
places the distribution continues with
the automobile transport service,
which is complete.
The French have several times at
tempted to carry the German positions
by storm, but they have met disaster
from the German artillery and rapid
flrers The greatest German gains
have been along the centre.

MOVE ON RUSSIANS
Austrians March on Cracow-

man Staff Directing New
Operations.
VIENNA, Sept. 10.

VIENNA, Sept. ~.
Three Austrian armies are concentrate
ing on the Cracow -Tarnow-Przemysl line
for a decisive battle with the Russian
armies of General Ruzsky and General
Brussiloff, according to an official an
nouncement issued here today.
(This line is 1870 miles long, apparently
following the railroad connecting the three
cities. Tarnow is so miles east of Cracow
and Przemysl 80 miles from Tarnow. This
dispatch indicates that the official an
nouncements in Petrograd OF overwhelm-
ing Russian victories were greatly exag-
gerated by the Cars General Staff.
A dispatch from Vienna says that all
the villages in the neighborhood or
Przemysl have been evacuated by their
inhabitants in response to an order by
the Austrian military authorities.
The villagers are being conveyed to the
western districts of Galca. Tntrench-
ments are being dug around PrzemysL
and IL Is stated that the fortress is sup
years.
The official statement says:
Tho position occupied by the Aus
trian armies has been heavily fortified.
General Boroevic will command tho
right wing, with centre resting at
Przemysl, the main centre Will be
commanded by General Won Auffcnburg
with Tarnow as his base, and the left
wing will be commanded by General
Dankl with the Germans supporting
his extreme left His base will be
Cracow.
Tho entire Russian left wing, COM
manded by Generals Ruzsky and
Brussiloff, is expected to begin an at
tack. The initial assault is expected
against Przemysl.
CThe admission that an attack on
Przemysl Is expected confirms Russian
claims that they have reached the River
San, but the statement that Generals
Won Auffenburg and Dankls armies will
form part of the Austrian front is
denial OF Petrograd assertions that the
Austrian right and left wings have been
crushed)
General Hoefer declared today that the
operations of the Austrian armies In
Galicia had not yet brought the main
forces into contact with the Russians,
and that only small forces had opposed
the l,usSian advance to secure time for
the strengthening of the front, where
the decisive battle is expected.
Numerous wounded soldiers are being
brought here from Galicia. Among them
is Fritz Kreisler, the famous violinist,
who was wounded in an engagement
near Lemberg.

BORDEAUX, Sept, 10.
Failure Of the allied armies to drive
the Germans out Of France, or even 20
gain any ground, is causing anxiety
throughout France. Apparently the
numerical advantage the allies enjoyed
at the commencement Of the battle II
the Aisne has been overcome, 1t Is
officially admitted that the Germans
have greatly strengthened their posi-
tion by rushing reinforccmenIs 10 tn"

mans have not less than 100000 men
of their first line holding thetr new
positions in Northern France.
The chief encouraging note in the
official communications is the reiterated
declaration that al no point have the
