Austrian and German armies aggre-
eating 100000 men have been over
whelmingly defeated by Russians in
the final assaults of a 17-day battle in
Poland and Galicia. Besides infict-
ing enormous casualties on their COM
bined enemies the Russians trapped,
surrounded and captured 10000 pris-
oners, including about eight hundred

losses.
Emperor William, though hurrying
requirements to his lines in East
Prussia, is said to have notified Aus

Germans Retreat Before Allies.
Every message from the line of bat

left and center before Paris were re-

bulletins from the French war Office.
Nowhere along the entire line since
the battle started has a reverse been
suffered by the allied armies.
An official communique issued by
the French war office said that the
Anglo-French troops crossed the
Marine, and after lighting battles with
the Germans right wing at Ferte-Sous
Jouarre and Chateau Thierry forced
the Germans back until the ground
the invaders have lost during the
fighting covers 40 miles.
The allies were in pursuit of the
enemy. During their advance many
