Grand Duke Tells of
Russia's Entry Into War
Bv Associated Press

Petrograd, Sept. 16 - BY order of
Grand Duke Nicholas, commander-in-
chief of the Russian forces, the follow
ing public announcement, printed in
nine of the principal languages of Aus
tria, is being distributed in the Aus
trian districts captured by the Rus
slams:
".The Inhabitants of Austria Hungary
THE Government of Austria declared
war against Russia because the great
Empire, ever faithful to it's historical
traditions could not forsake inoffen-
sive Servia or acknowledge it's en-
slavement.
"On entering, the Austro- Hugarian
territory l declare in the name of the
great Emperor that Russia, which has
shed its blood many times for the
emancipation of nations from the for
eign yoke, only seeks the rehabilitation
of rights and Justice. Russia also
brings liberty and the realization of
your national vows. For many CEN
turies the Austro- Hungarian Govern
ment planted among you discord and
enmity, for it knew that as a result of
this strife it's dominion over you would
continue.
"On the contrary, my sole aim is that
each and every one of you may grow
and prosper and keep at the same
time the precious inheritance of
language and faith of your fathers. Let
every one of you, united to his broth
ers, live in peace and harmony with
your neighbors, respecting their ma
tional rights"

following wireless from Berlin:
"All the French English reports of

extended battlefield. The Temps re-
ports that the losses of the British
army in the recent fighting amount

ultimately building along lines that
will be fully satisfactory in every par
