 The attack was resumed the next day in connection with vigorous defense by the British and French armies on the severe fighting occurring along the Petit Morin river. The French artillery fire again was the feature of the combat
 The overwhelming forces endangered tho German flank at Creepy, necessitating withdrawal of that wing.

CHILD MOTHERED BY MONKEYS FOUND Unable to Talk and at First Would Eat Only Grass
 and Raw Potatoes

Bombay, September 12.-(Special) ) A discovery which recalls the story Of Mowgli in Rudyard Kipling's Jun gle Book has been made in India.
 In the jungle near Naina Tal a wild looking creature. apparently human child, has been found That she is hu- man is proved by the fact that there are vaccination marks on both arms, but exposure to the clements has caused thick growth of hair down each side of the face and spine, which makes her appearance more like that of monkey than human being. ThereSis evidence to show she has al- ways walked upright, but her sitting posture Is that of monkey. as are all her actions.
 She was very frightened when first caught and cried and whimpered. She would eat only grass and raw potatoes, but later was induced to take bread and milk. She is unable to talk. but there is no doubt that she can hear.
 Everything points to the conclusion that she was abandoned in infancy and monkeys were her foster parents Ma tives in the bazar. however, declare that the child was reared by bears.
 At present the child is in the Naina Tal hospital.

Her Husbands Bank
n the National Monthly.

From the National Monthly
 A bit of caricature is oftentimes better,
 or at least more effective, for the cor
 rection of a fault than any amount of direct reproof
 A certain Providence woman. whose
 husband had recently gained prominence
 in one of the banks in that town, had an
 undue appreciation of her own impor- tance as the wife of an influential cit izen.
 She was in the habit of riding down to her husbands office very frequently on the street cars and upon entering the car with naughty air, she would inva- riably say in voice loud enough to be heard by those present: Conductor, put me off at my husbands bank" Quite late one afternoon she came in and seated herself making the usual demand. Seated opposite her was a slov- enly-clad man with a weeks growth of beard on his face. During the momen- tary hush which followed the lady's order this passenger arose drew himself
 to his full height. and pompously said: 1 Conductor. put me off at my old wom- ans peanut stand.
 The conductor has not since.he any

AUSTR|ANS SEND TROOPS ID STEM
 TIDE IF RUSSIANS
Servian Offensive Con. tinues Successful-Tr0Ops Being Enthusiastically
 Received

Nish. Servia. September 1S--Via Lon l don, 1:10 D. m)-It is announced that tht Servian offensive continues successfully l Servian troops have crossed the Save al
 several points and it is said that the Ser
 vians are being received enthusiastically 1 A seni-official statement reviewing op- erations against Austria since the out break of the war makes no mention of the capture of semlin, before reported. but says:
 "The Austrians have sent their troops to stem the advance of the enormous tide of Russians. If by a miracle Aus tria escapes the catastrophe by which it is menaced, it will be little Sarvia that has dealt the severest blow to it's pres tige."
 The statement asserts that in August Austria threw one-third of it's total force of S50,000 men against Servia-200000 of these at the weakest polnt along the frontier on the Save and Drina from Ljubova to Shabat. After sanguinary fighting the tide turned August 19, the Austrians being completely beaten and pursued along the whcle line. .The enemy's only thought" continues the statement, was of reaching as quick ly as possible the bridges it had thrown
 across the Drins, not even thinking of destroying them completely after their passage. The enormous losses of the enemy were due to the massed nation of the Austrians They had 1c,000 killed.
 5000 of whom fell at the ttiver Tser. Hundreds Remain on Field Tn one small village eco bodies were
 buried The number of the Austrian
 wounded vastly exceeds the total of those killed. More than 200O of their wounded remained on the battlefield The prison ers not including the wounded, number 400C. Thirty thousand will not cover the total of the enemy's wounded. In the Maize fields along the wiley of the Drina and in the forests some of the enemy's soldiers who were thrown in the rear are still being encountered.
 Among these are some officers who for
 more than a week had lived solely on n aize'
 l The statement says 150 guns were cap | tured and the Seventh Austrian corps annihiated 1t concludes: 1 What is left is incapable of carrying I cut military operations. It has left in l our hands more than half it's artillery. l Despite efforts made by the Austrians to conceal from the country their defeat it
 seems that there already are certain
 movements among the peoples of the Dual
 monarchy which may be the beginning
 of the disintergation of Che Austro- Hun | garian empire.
 | The enemy has lost all hope of a new offensive and now fears that the offensive will come from our side. Proof of this
 is found in the works of defense it is
 throwing up and in the evacuation of all posts between us and their positions. This fear of a movement on our part is justifiable, for the enemy would be un- able to oppose any new force.'

two bridges had been built and were used for bringing up troops from Radon.
 In expectation of the results of the advance of our army under General Ruz- ski, our plan consisted of strengthenins our right wing. The numerically weak left wing of our army near Holm did not receive reinforcement.
 ''It was rightly considered that the far ther the Austrians penetrated toward Holm the more crushing their eventual defeat would become. In spite of its numerical inferiority our army did not limit itself to a passive defeat but ad- vancing to meet the enemy, achieved con- siderable success.
 "On September the victories of Gen. erals RuzslS and Broussloff determined the moment of our general advance. The Austrian center was defeated at Suhodol and by a rapid advance toward Turobir and Zamostie (Zamost), we separated one enemy's group at Krasnik from that al Tomaszrow.
 "On September the Toma szow army of the enemy, while already in full re- trat. was attacked by General Ruzsk from the southeast and forced to fight facing in three directions. The counter attacks of the Krasnik groups of the Aus. trians were repulsed and on Septembel 9 the fortified positions of the enemy or lHt ll1t lIOiI OpOlt tO IuTODln, fU nl1fes in length. were carried by assault.
 "At the same time the enemy was de livering desperate attacks on our Jeff wing, in order to gain a success in tho direction of Lwow. However, on Sep tember 12 we assumed the offensive iron this direction also.
 Battle Drawing to Close
 At present the battle of Galicia, whicf lasted r days, is drawing to close. ant general pursuit of the enemy is beine carried out. The battles in the prov inces of Lublin and Holm, which began on August 23. were, at the beginning separate episodes of a strategic opera tion of vast magnitude. To these de tached episodes the Austrian general staf chose to attribute an importance out O. all proportion to their real significance.
 'Skirmishes of advance troops wer, heralded as Austrian victories. Even tn, fall of Lwow, fact of the greatest i'm was explained as deliberate evacuation in accordance with strategic considera tion.
 These strategic considerations how ever, allowed us to surround the enem, and to drive the remainder of his arm, beyond the River San. Now, when tn, results of the battles from August 25 tt September 10 have become public propert, the' imperial general staff considers i timely to point out the untruthfulness ol Austrian official reports, and to draw at tention to the value which can be at tached to official war news emanatins from Austrian sources in the future"
