OF ARMED FORCES
OF DUAL MONARCHY

London, Sept. 4.-The Petrograd COR
respondent of the Times in a report on
the operations around Lemberg says:
The forts of Lenberg have fallen

complete disruption or the dual mon
ardhy's armed forces.
The operations extended over an
enormous front of 200 miles and prob
ably a million and a half men we're
engaged. The Austrians' extreme right
ustained enormous losses but the most
terrible blow was dealt them by the
gallant Ruzky's army, which, starting

SOCIALISTS ENTER
PROTEST AGAINST
GERMAN ACTION
Italians Resent the Mission
of Socialists From Ger

gress at End of War.

London, Sept. A Rome dispatch
to the Times says the German Socialist
delegation, which came to Rome to ex
plain to the Italian Socialists their at
titude regarding the present war, were
received in a lukewarm manner. The
Rome Socialists adopted motion pro-
testing against the delegation, whose
mission they consider an insidious in
trigue. The motion says:
I'VE hope peace shall be soon re-
stored without conquerers or conquer
ed. II this hope be defeated then let
the war end in victory for France
where real Socialism prevails and for
England, where most loyal liberalism
flourisEes."
Della Seta, prominent Socialist,
says the Times dispatch. replied to
the address of the German delegation
as follows:
1.-THE German motto is Germany
above ALL and German Socialism has
failed to oppose it. Socialism must
wage Z. war against what represents
the most terrible backward step In civ
ilization, namely, the violation of the
neutrality of Belgium, against which
German Socialism failed to protest.

No Evidence That the
German Advance Has
Been Checked

Junction with German army corps from
east Prussia, failed, but the blow has
been so severe that Galicia is virtually
in the control of the Russians. Lem
berg is not only the capital of an enor-
nous territory. Slavic in its sympathy,
but also a transportation point OF great
eight railroads. If the Russian sue
cesses continue, 1t is expected that the
Austrians will be cleared out of Rus
sian Poland within a few days.
If the official reports of the Russian
successes in Galicia are anywhere near
correct, 1t is scarcely possible to exag-
gerate the importance of their victories.
If the Austrians are as badly crushed
in Galicia as the Russian reports
would make the public believe Russian
Poland will soon cease to be a point of
anxiety to the Russian defense and the
effort of the Petrograd general staff
can be concentrated on an offensive
movement toward Berlin.
The meager German reports received
here indicate that the Germans are
more than holding their own on the
border of east Prussia, but the Rus
sian general STAFF. according to the
point of view held In London, does not
seem greatly concerned over the status
of the campaign in this territory, evil

However, the veil Of secrecy over the
western area of the fighting-the coun-

to show that the persistent advance of
the Germans has been appreciably

Disheartened Over Failure
of the Campaign in Servia

slams.

London. Sept. "A dispatch to the
Chronicle from Ostend says:
"A tourist who has just arrived here
from Budapest after nearly a week s
trip, said:
a. There Is a feeling of complete de-
spair in Budapest. This Is caused
mainly by the practical abandonment
of the campaign against Servia, which
had the whole-souled support of the
populace, who believed that only one
sharp stroke was needed to demolish
Servia. Yet at the end of a month not
single Austrian soldier is on Servian
soil.
The position of the dual monarchy
is serious If it is compelled to make
peace with Servia on account of the
chronic difficulties with the Slav popu-
lation. The people in Budapest believe
that the breaking up of the whole Aus
trian- Hungarian structure is impend-
ing.
The failure of the army sent
against the Russians is also disheart-
ening to the Austro- Hungarians. The
newspaper censorship In Budapest is
so rigid that the people practically
have ceased reading the newspapers.
