The French at scissors had gal
lantly sacrificed the comforts and the
benefits OF the Red Cross organization
In order TO avoid encumbering the
field operations with ambulances and
nurses. They were kept far In the
rear and the wounded were taken back
In such vehicles as could be pressed
into service. The Germans all along
the line OF battle have abandoned
their wounded to the mercies OF the
French. The French doctors who ar
rived at the front from Paris express
ed the utmost surprise that there
we're no French officers galloping ex-
citedly across the battlefield or with
melodramatic orderlies rushing here

PETROGRAD, Sept. 14.-Declaring
that the Austrian opposition In Gall

eral staff, In statement issued today
frankly admits that retreat was or
dered In east Prussia on Sept 10. The
statement regarding the operations on
German territory says:
ION Sept. 10, our air scouts reported
the coming Of an overwhelming Ger
man army. heavily equipped with ar
tillery, who we're preparing to attack
the main body of Russian troops then
holding the country under the com
mand of Gen. Rennenkampf. Our 20
sition was not strategically strong
and orders were given TO withdraw ia
positions previously selected. These
are now being held and fighting Is In
progress. The Russian left wing was
attacked by an overwhelming force
and was forced to give way, but new

that they are abandoning everything
The roads are strewn with rifles and
personal equipment thrown away by
fleeing Austrians who found that Il

been mired everywhere, and the fact
that traces were cut and not unfas-

trucks and their trailers. loaded with
ammunition that had been exploded
and abandoned. The roads were also
Uttered with German small arms and
impediments which showed how pre-
cipitate had been the German flight.
West OF Chateau Thierry | saw
many of the Paris auto busses with
farm wagons attached as trailers,
crossing the field gathering up the
French and German dead. Peasants
have been pressed into service and
are reverently burying the dead In
long trenches which they have dug.
Soldiers detailed for that purpose col
lect the metal Identification tags and
their valuables. which will be return
ed to their friends in happier days to
come.
The officers are buried In separate
trenches, and. all are marked with
crosses The stencil Of the purifying
corpses Is detachable miles away from
the battlefelds.
Officers and surgeons who have In
spected the bodies of the slain are
surprised to find that more than half
have been killed by artillery fire, In.
dicating that the field guns have far
outstripped the rifles as man.kfllers
In this war. As matter Of exact
fact, the German rife fire has been
very poor. The Germans made no
pretense OF lifting their rifles to their
shoulders In the general battles, but
fire at will from under their arms and
waste many of their bullets. They
also fire so low that the majority OF
the French and British wounded are
injured below the hips.
The result Of the battle OF the
Marine has erased from French memo
ries the nightmare Of 1870. Officers
declare that II is now proven that the
defeats OF that campaign were due to
the numerical superiority Of the Ger
mans and that Frances fighting spirit

reinforced from German sources, have
suffered greatly.
There Is no diminution of the Rus
sian attack. Under the immediate d.
rection Of Grand Duke Nicholas. the
assault Is being kept up. Strong Rus
sian columns are being sent down the
territory between the San and the
Vistula rivers from the north to attack
the Austrians on the flank. and pre-
vent further German achievements
reaching them. At the same time the
center army, commanded by General
Rouzsky, is driving the main Austrian
forces from the vicinity of Grodek.
That the situation for the Austrians
Is desperate is indicated by advices
received here showing that the entire
Austrian landstrum has already been
called to the colors. With the Ser
VANS sweeping north the Austrians
sent against them, a combined ser
vian- Montenegro army invading Bos-
MIA and Herzegovina, and the effec-
tive lighting strength of the active
army sent into Galicia and Russian
Poland already reduced at least one
half In killed, wounded, and prisoners;
with more than half OF the entire Aus
TRAN field artillery already captured
or destroyed, officials of the general
stan here today had no hesitancy In
declaring that the Austrian situation
was extremely desperate They de-
clare that when the Austrian people
realize the exact situation. the en-
pcror will either have TO sue for peace.
regardless of promises to Germany, or
face revolution that will tear him
from the throne.
Every high official here emphasizes
the fact that the Austrian campaign
has completely collapsed and that the
losses to the dual empire are appall-
ing.
