War Summary

The veil of secrecy, drawn
tighter yesterday than any time in
the last thirty days, maybe taken
as an indication that events of
Importance are transpirlng In
northern France. A similar si-
lence was observed during the
fighting around Mons. Cambrai
and LeCatneau last week,
The latest report on the situa-
ton north of Paris was issued
last night. II said that the
French left, owing to the prog
ress of the German right wing,
had been forced to mark a new
retirement" Explaining this an
nouncement, the French embassy
in London announced; The An
glo-French army corps have had
to give ground, but nowhere
have they been broken through"
The fighting now. in which
the allies are believed to be op-
posing the German advance, is
thought to be centered around
LaFere, strongly fortified
Oise, seventy-five miles north
east of Paris. The fate OF the
French capital may hang on the
outcome of these operations. II
Is not definitely known whether
the British troops in France have
been engaged again or not.
A news dispatch from Dieppe
says great battle has been
fought at Croisilles and probably
is still in progress. No details
are given, nor had this report
been received from any other
source. Croisilles is ten miles
southeast of Arras, in the Depart
ment of Pas de CALAIS, and is
about fifteen miles from Cam
brai.
Persons reaching Paris from
the north describe the prepara-
tions of the allies for a defensive
fight. A, Frenchman who reached
the capital today says there are
no Germans in Lille, Roubaix or
Tourcoing, group of towns
near the Belgian frontier, which
were occupied by the Germans
last week.
Tuesday was the anniversary of
the battle OF Sedan, which was
fought with disastrous results to
the French in 1870. This coinci-
dence draws particularly atten-
tion to the outcome of the pres
ent operations concerning which
such impenetrable silence is be-
ing maintained in London and
Paris and Berlin.
Rome has received a report
from Rumania that the Russians
have inflicted a crushing defeat
on the Austrians in Galioia, the
troops Of Emperor Francis Jo-
seph suffering losses declared to
amount to 10000. A news dis
patch from st. Petersburg makes
a similar claim, saying the Aus
trians in Poland have lost tens OF
thousands OF men.
By imperial order the city of
81. Petersburg will henceforth be
known as Petrograd, the change
eliminating the Teuton construc-
tion in the name OF the chief city
OF Russia.
News dispatches published in
London say that the people Of
Berlin, alarmed at the Russian
advance. are beginning to leave
the Capital for neutral countries

LemburE 1. Cut OFF.


LONDON. Sept 1-C5:1O a. MIA dis
patch to the Times from ST. Petersburg
sives the following comment on the Rus
sian operations against the Austrians:
The Russian operations against the
Austrians are considered by recognized
military writer's to have reached the
stage when decisive Victories may be
within reach. The capture OF the rail-
road center forty miles south OF Lem
berg involves the rupture of railway
communication with the Austrian fort
resses on tho Dneister and Bukovina
Thus the southern part of Galacia, as
well as Bukovlna Is severed from the re-
naming portions OF Galacia, except by
route across the Carpathlans. As a
result the iron ring Is closing around
Lemberg.
! According to the Russko Slovo, the
losses suffered by the Austrians in their
desperate attempt TO strike at the vitals
OF the Russian position in Poland ag-
gregate tens Of thousands or men, in
GLIDING the Sixth Austrian corps, which,
on its retreat between the western Bnug

GOLF GOSSIP
IRy Latest MaiI1

NEW YORK-The return from
England recently OF Chicago golfer
with the news that Harry Nardon and
James Braid are coming to the United
States next summer is more than like
ly to be the forerunner OF many SINH
lay announcements.
1t seems extremely probable at the
present time that American golfers
will have an opportunity TO see a
number of leading British profession
ais during the golfing season Of 1918.
The war can be set down as the
reason why the British experts are
likely to visit this country next sum-
mer. II the great conflict continues
until then there will be little or no
demand for the big exhibition match
es which such golfers as Vardon,
Braid. Taylor. Duncan and Ray de-
pend upon for their annual income.
Since the war began the British pro-
fessicnals have played a number of
matches, the major portion OF the
proceeds of which was turned over to
the relief fund being raised by the
Prince Of Wales, but patriotic British
ers though they are. they are not
likely to continue the practise all
through next year. And at present
the donation Of time and money to
sports. especially golf. is being frown-
ed upon all over Great Britain. Golf
ers around London are being severely
criticised fer playing their favorite
game in these troublous times. and
this feeling is likely to last as long
as the war goes on.
So in view of the conditions of their
native land. an exodus OF the leading
Scotch and English professionals to
this countrv may we'll be expected

Stallings' Folk Loyal. #..
When StaIlings was in New YORK
last week he told me a story of loyal
Ety that almost broke him. 1t was
the loyalty of the employees on his
place in Georgia, some of whom have
never been away from the plantation
farther than 10 miles. He Is known
to them as Boss" Stallings and he
is little monarch at Haddocks, not
that he isn't also with the Boston
club. One season when the Yankees
we're training near the Stallings plan
tation a game was scheduled between
the American leaguers and the New
ark team of the international league.
The contest took place about II miles
from the plantation and the negroes
drove over with the plantation oxen,
mules and horses to see the battle.
The spirit of gambling took hold OF
the Stallings contingent and so they
began to bet the ''boss's" mules and
oxen on the Yankees. 1t showed splen-
did spirit and the display OF conf
dence in Boss" Stallings must have
been very fiattering to him, except
fer the fact that Newark put wise old
s"Ioe'' McGinnity in to pitch. Stall
ings, unaware of the bets of his ne
groes, tried out some OF his young
sters, and Joe" had good day, so
good that the Yankees lost.
The defeat put Stallings' equipment
in hook and it required quite a piece
Of money for George to recover his

his employees attend games in which
