forces to a point within three miles
of Naco shortly before noon today and
halted, apparently to prepare for an
attack on General Benjamin Hills

All the civilians of Naco had re-
moved across the American line sew

Battle of Cracow Begins
That the battle of Cracow, which
opened yesterday, will be a long and
aIduous struggle, no. one questions.
General Won Hindenburg, the German
commander, who scored notable sue
cess in eastern Prussia agains the
invading Russians, has taken supreme
command of the combined German
and Austrian forces. These undoubt-
edly are formidable army, though
the alleged total of two and a half
millions of men is discounted.
Reports of the German headquarters
staff dismiss the situation, both in
this and the Belgian theaters, with
the curt mo change"
From Petrograd, however, it is off
cially asserted that the Russian
troops continue to drive the enemy
from the borders of the SuwalN and
Lonza governments, and there has
been continual determined fighting
west of Simno The German troops
which attacked Ossowitz are retreat
ing precipitately to the north"
Petrograd also announces that con-
siderable troops of the enemy are
held in the western district in the
provinces of Peokodd and Kielce in
Russian Poland.
The Montenegrin army according to
an official communication, sgstands
across the road approaching Sarajevo,
whose supplies thus have been cut off.
The Montenegrins have commenced
their attack on Saraievo, the fall of
which, it is claimed in the report,
Seems imminent"
The same announcement says that

vians have cut off the retreat of the
