SAYS AUSTRIANS FLEEING
Greater Part Of PrzemysI Occupied BY
Russians-Motor Cars Are Desert
ed-Advance Checked.

London.-A dispatch to the Elk
change Telegraph from Petrograd
says:
"A big column is retreating along the
road toward Sonox (Sanok) from Pre-
mysl, Galacia, after having been
shelled from the heights by Russian
artillery. In their hurried retreat the
enemy left part Of their train Of mo-
tor cars"
THE Russians occupied the greater
part of the city Of Pryemysl, Galacia,
according to a message from Vienna"
says the Rome correspondent of the
Exchange Telegraph. His dispatch
continues:
1.-THE Russians approached the city
from the southwest, forcing the Aus
TRANS to take shelter in the eastern
forts, where the entire garrison Is pre-
pairing to make a final resistance. The
situation of the garrison is critical; 1t
is entirely surrounded.
"The Russian troops are advancing
from Grodek on the Austrian positions,
while the right wing continues to at
tack from the north. Troops are being
poured into the city of Przemysl to
press the attack from the southwest"

ONLY HARD SIEGE WILL WIN
from Positions-Germans Are
Playing a Game.

London. H. M. Tomlinson, the
Daily News correspondent, telegraph
ing from outside of Paris, says the
battle now proceeding is beyond the
power of description, but from a mass
of disconnected matter, carefully ex-
amined in detail. as personally related
by combatants. we may judge that the
progress in the section from Peronne
to Verdun has been fairly, finely won
by the allies. Some say the Germans
are still playing a subtle game, with
something up their sleeves, but the
concensus of opinion is that the Ger
mans retreated because they had to.
1t does not need a military expert
to understand that the allies can't
make as quick progress. because the
Germans occupy strong positions and
know that when they break they
break for good. 1t must be admitted
thai it will be difficult to storm the
Germans from their positions. Only
a hard siege will do 1t.

AUSTRIAN R0UT COMPLETE
Austrian Cavalry Cut to Pieces by
Cossacks-Maeyars Don Parade
Uniform for Change.

London.-A dispatch to the Tele-
graph from Petrograd says that spir-
tied account of the destruction Of the
Hungarian guard, a cavalry division,
In the battle of Grodek, appeared in
the Russo Slovo. 1t follows:
AT first the Austrian infantry
moved out for the attack. 1t was met
with a deadly fire OF cannon and ma
chine gun and the enemy wavered
and fell back.
"Then the cavalry was sent out. The
flower of the Austro-Hungarian army,
the Budapest guard division formed
of Magyars, bright jacketed Hungar-
ians. galloped furiously down in close
order. 1t appeared as if nothing could
arrest their impetuous course, no even
the awful shrapnel fire of the artillery
which brought death and destruction
into their ranks, nor even the rain OF
bullets from machine guns.
The Magyars did not hesitate for a
moment, but continued to charge at
our trenches. One more minute and
ii seemed as if nothing would be left of
our infantry.
"Ali at once the thud Of hoofs and
the clatter Of steel were heard and
the Magyars were met by a whirlwind
of Cossacks. For W hours the Aus
trian and Russian infantry watched
with beating hearts the scene Of ter
rtble carnage.
AT the end of this time of the fine
Budapest guard division not n man
was left and the whole field was
strewn with the enemy's corpses. sew
cred heads. hands and legs and dead
horses.
Before the battle the Magyars were
ordered to don their parade uniforms

BLOODSHED IS PREDICTED
Up to Rupture-Holds Villa Re.
s~ponsibIe for Trouble.

Washington.-Gen. Carranza pre-
dicted further fighting in Mexico, ac-
cording to official advices to the state
department. The first chief explained
to diplomats who gathered at his re-
quest that Zapata had refused to at.
tend of send delegates to the national
convention called for Oct. l, and that
his forces were active in the south.
He also described events leading up
to the rupture with Gen. Villa, saying
the blame for further bloodshed would
be Villas, as his own troops would act
only on the defensive.
Official information has come to the
Washington government from Gen,
Funston and other that Zapata and
Villa are working in harmony against
Carrauza and expect the support OF
ex-Federal soldiers. One of Villas
chief demands has been that meritori-
Gus officers who supported Huerta be
taken into the new national army. but
Carranza has given such officers no
guarantees. Already 1t has been re-
ported that Francisco Carbajal, former
provisional president, and Gen. Felix
Diaz are ready to support Villa.
Gen. Hugh Scott, assistant chief OF
staff Of the army, and formerly in com.
mand on the Mexican border, has re.
ceived a pathetic letter in this cons
nection from Gen. Frisco Castro, the
aged general just released with Mex.
lean federal troops who crossed the
border after the battle Of Ojinaga and
we're interned In Texas. Gen. Castro
wrote that after 40 years service In
the Mexican army, during which he
worked hard to gain every promotion
and had not a blot on his record, he
now found himself barred from the
army OF his country.

OFFICIAL COMMUNICATION AT

London.-An official communication
issued at Budapest, according TO a

graph company, admits that the Rus
SLAMS have succeeded in crossing the
Hungarian frontier at several points
IN the ing district, despite the fact
that re-enforcements have been sent
against them.
ing is a county in the northeastern
part Of Hungary.
Another apparent lull along the
western battle line in France a
caused the center of interest to shift
to the east. The whereabouts n
strength of the Russian army still is
somewhat of a mystery. The fan-like
Russian advance, however, is still
sweeping across Galicia, closing in n
forcing the Austrians through the
passes of the C%arpathians and into the
plains of Hungary.
In the battle along the western
front, In Northern Europe, weather
conditions are again figuring. The
Germans. who are reported to be eX-
hausted by their strenuous marches,
are said to suffer especially, as they
occupy limestone trenches, which do
not drain readily.
The latest official communications
from Paris report that conditions on
the allies left are favorable, while the
troops in the center have successfully
resisted the violent German attempts
TO break the French line.
The most significant portion of the
communication asserts that the allies
have progressed slightly; and another
report, which, if true, is significant,
comes from a Brussels traveller, who
aserts that large numbers OF battle
wearied German troops are arriving
there from France.

GERMANS RESIST RUSSIANS
German Troops Rule Town Of Cracow
and the Austrian Civil Government
Flees in Panic.

London.-"That Cracow has been
occupied by German troops, hat the
town has been put under a German
military c~ommandant and that the
Austrian civil administration has been
displaced is the gist Of the latest ad-
vices received here says the Petro-
grad correspondent of the Morning
Post.
"All the original administration OF
the city has fed and all the civil
officials of the austrian government
have left. Residents are fleeing in
a panic.
The leaders Of the Polish secret
committee, which has been in charge
of all the Polish volunteer detach-
ments fighting on the Austrian side
also haze left Cracow. The Germans
have thrown three army corps into
information, and are bringing more
troops il preparation for the expected
Russian attack.
Word has been received here that
, ermany has stopped all traffic on the
railways between Berlin and the Ger
man Baltic ports of Danzig, Elbing
and Stettin. This news has set ex'
perts to figuring on the possibility
of a German descent on Russian ter
ritory by way of the Baltic. Any
such move is regarded here as i'm
possible from the standpoint of an eff
fective act of war, although it might
be theatrically effective in supporting
the morale of the Berlin populace."

BATTLE ON SOMME
Germans and Allies Have Been Striv-
inc Two Weeks to Push Each
Other Back.

London.-The territory between the
rivers Somme and Disc is the scene OF
the fiercest battle along the great front
in Northern France, where the Ger
mans and allies have been striving
for two weeks to force each other back.
This ground includes the French left
wing, which has thrown tremendous
forces against the German general,
Won Kluck's, REINFORCED army in an
endeavor to outflank him.
The French official report describes
this struggle as a violent one and a n
that the allied troops have
made a slight advance.
In the Woevre region the French
also report some gain, blu describe the
situation on the heights Of the Meuse
as unchanged.
Prior to this. however, the Germans
had crossed the River Mouse near St
Mihiel in the Woevre district.
The Russian general staff reports a
battle between the Russians and Ger
mans in the region of ~Druskenhiki, in
the government of Suwalki, Russian
Poland, bordering on Prussia, but gives
no details. The general staff also re
ports the retirement of the Austrian
army westward on Cracow.
The Netherlands government has de
clared martial law in the eastern prov
inces, according to an Amsterdam dis
patch, to prevent the expectation o,
contrabands of war to Germany and a
the same time Great Britain takes {
clear position in the matter Of contra
band, making it compulsory for neutra
countries importing foodstuffs to give
assurances that the food is not intend
ed for German consumption.
Prince Oscar, the German emporor's
fifth son, according to the announce
ment from Berlin, has been obliged tC
withdraw from his regiment because
/ Of an affection of the heart, brought or
by overeXertion.
Latest reports indicate that the Aus
trian seaport of Cattaro, in Dalmatia
is being bombarded by French ant
British warships and that the Austrian
fortress of Pelagosa has been disman
tied and seized.

whiting tool in this as was Orozco IN

GERMANS ATTACK VIOLENT
General Situation Is Unchanged, But
Failure TO Progress Is Equivalent
to Reverse to Germans.

Paris.-After 16 days of continuous
fighting. the battle of the Aisne is en-
tering upon its final phase. This is
the opinion Of every military critic.
The brevity Of all official communi-
cations has aroused unusual interest.
The omission Of any mention Of fight
ing except between the Aisne and Ar
eonne gives the impression that most
important events are transporting at
the other vital points and also that
new movements of strategic signifi-
canoe are under way.

WIRELESS PLANT IS CLOSED

Washington.-By order of President
Wilson, as commander-in-chief of the
army and navy, the wireless station
of the Marconi company, Siasconsett,
Mass, was closed because 1t declined
to recognize the right Of the federal
government to exercise a censorship
over the plant.
The Navy Department took no cogn-
izance Of the fact that the Marconi
company had filed in a federal court
an application for an injunction to
restrain the naval officers from clos
Ing or censoring the station. Although
1t appeared as II the wireless company
might compel naval officials to ex.
ercise force. the company finally de.
cided to offer no resistance and the
station was closed.
