this afternoon. Thus far, according

been repulsed.
Germany is prepared to finance

is stated, to continue the struggle for

A dispatch from Rome says that
300, 900 troops have been assembled at
Pola, the great naval port of Austria,
and that thorough preparations have
been made against an attack from the
sea.
Interest Turns Eastward.
The hour for the battle which will

make their proposed invasion Of Ger

appears to be drawing near.

caiieian Campaign Almost Ended.
At the same time the Russian army
in Galicia is pushing its successes
against the Austrians and moving
westward with the expectation of
meeting the combined Austrian and
German forces concentrating at Cra-
COW. on the Galician frontier, in a
battle that, # successful. will complete
their campaign in Galicia. The Ger
mans are reported in strong force on
the line from Kalisz to Cracow, where
thew are said to be we'll entrenched.
There is every reason to believe that
the real test Of the Russians aggres-
siye strength will not long be delayed.
Again today the report that the Rus
slams have crossed the Carpathian
range and entered Hungary, capturing
rTzsek. is repeated. Uzsek lies in a
line extending from Lemberg. the cap
ttal OF Galacia, southwest to Budapest.
There is nothing to indicate that the
Russian diversion into Hungary is any
very important factor in their general
strategy. Earlier reports that the Rus
slams in Ga1icia had occupied a part
Of Prezmysl on their march to Cra-
COW have not been confirmed.
Japs Move Slowly.
In the far east the Japanese British

leased possession in China. moves

Tsing Tau, the seat OF government OF
Kiao Chau. Toxic claims victory in
the engagement which does not appear

German reports say that their forces
fell back to their first line Of defenses
around Using Tau.
Occasional fighting continues IN Bel
giurn. Amsterdam reports sharp en-
counter between the Germans and Bel
-jans four miles east Of Antwerp and
other clashes east Of Ghent. Results
are not known.
Censorship More Strict.
There has been a distinct falling of
Of war news enlanating from the cap
itals Of the belligerents or which must
past thru these capitals in reaching the
United States. The censorship at Lon
don has been made much moro severe
evidently in tho interest OF British
strategy and this action has been re-
nected at Paris. resulting In abbreviat-
ed reports. official and unofficial, from
France. From the start the censorship
at Berlin has been rigid. At the pres
ent movement the absence Of detailed
reports seem to indicate that monoton-
ous events are .transpiring.
