GERMANS FALL BACK
40 MILES ON VTSTULA
AS GEAR ADVANCES
Kaiser's Attack on Warsaw
Repulsed in Three Direc-
tons and Germans Are
Forced Back to Their
Bases.
PETRoGRAD, Oct. q.


According to a statement issued by the
official Russian news agency today the
Austro- German forces west of the Wis
tua have been driven back % miles from
the river and the Russian advance posts
have reached the vicinity of skerniewice,
a railroad centre southwest Of Warsaw.
Attempts of the Germans to recon-
struct the railroads east of Lowicz have
failed It Is stated. Cossacks operating
in force in this territory have destroyed
the tracks as fast as they have been
relaid. The Germans have been thrown
back and train service has been resumed
between Warsaw and Skernlewice, a dis
tance of 10 miles.
Cannonading can still be heard at War
saw. This is explained by the fact that
the Germans have not been thrust back
at equal distance in all three directions
from which they attempted to make their
attack.
WARSAW OUT OF DANGER.
Warsaw, however, is out OF danger, as
the advantage of such an attack Is now
lost by the destruction. of the necessary
correspondence between It's separate
groups.
The panic has subsidized and the streets
and cafes nre crowded with people, who
exchange mutual congratulations.
Defeat of the Germans in the region
of Warsaw Sunday and the repulse of the
Austrians south of Przemysl on the same
day represent the positions of the two
seats of war on the Russian
border, as briefly communicated by an
official announcement of the General STAFF
OF the Russian forces.
That the German plan OF campaign in
Poland Is similar to that followed in
France Is indicated by reports that all
along their main line west of the Vistula
the Austro German forces are throwing
up strong intrenchments. These trenches
extend across the Vistula into Galicia
They are of elbow construction, appar-
emily being designed for the protection
of the troops during long campaign.
The success of the Russians south of
Przemysl exhibits another attempt by the
Germans at their favorte strategy. which
has failed. There has been no news given
out for several days on the situation
about Mlawa, where. at last reports the
Germans were attempting to advance
troops against the northern flank of the
Russian army.

GERMANY ASKS HOLLAND
TO GIVE BELGlANS FOOD
Kaiser Fears Shortage in Provisions
for His Own People.
THE HAGUE, Oct. ii.


The German Government has addressed
a proposal to Holland that the latter sup
ply the starving Belgian population with
food. Although official correspondence
has been passing back and forth between
Berlin and The Hague, so far as known
no definite decision has yet been reached.
The negotIatlons were opened in Au-
gust, when F. Won Muller, the German
Minister to Holland. addressed a COM
municatlon to J. Joudon, the Dutch Min
lister of Foreign Affairs.
The attitude Of Germany was that II
would be in no position to relieve the
misery and famine which war unques-
tionably would bring to Belgium.
The German Government expressed It's
desire to do what 1t could for the Bel
CLANS, at the same time making men,
tion Of Its humanitarian obligations. At
the same time, It was said, Germany was
limited to the necessity OF asking Hol-
land to provide the needed foodstuffs for
the Belgian population.
Germany indicated by her attitude that
she feared a shortage of provisions for
her own population and was determined
to conserve the food she had on hand.

FRENCH CABINET DECIDES
TO RETIRE FROM OFFICE
Not Certain Of Ability to Control
Majority in Chamber of
Deputies.

PARIS, June 1.-The French cabinet,
under the premiership of CASTOR Dou-
mergue has decided to resign. The reso-
lution was taken at a cabinet council to-
day.
The cabinet will meet tomorrow TO draft
a statement explaining the reasons for its
retirement The chief factor in bringing
about the resignation Of the government
is understood to be the uncertainty of its
ability to control the majority in the
chamber of deputies, where some changes
in the numerous groups were brought
about by the recent general elections.
Differences are said to have arisen
among members of the cabinet concern
ing financial measures to be introduced
in parliament
There Is also some divergence of view
in regard to the three years military
service
No indication whatever was obtainable
TODAY as to the probable composition of
the new cabinet. 1t is thought likely that
the present ministers will continue to hold
Office until after the meeting of the
chamber of deputies and the selection of
the parliamentary officials. The chamber
meets tomorrow, but the credentials Of
the members can scarcely be passed op
before June 10.
