Petrograd, Oct. 9.-The main Rus
sian army in Poland has taheh the o.
fensive against the Austro German
forces along the Vistula river, it WAS
announced here.
Skirmishing between cavalry dc
tachments has been in progress fo1
nearly a week as a preliminary to the
greatest conflict the world ever has
witnessed, and now the artillery has
been brought into action.
The eastward march OF the Ger
mans and Austrians along the Vlstula
has been unopposed up to the present,
except for attacks by the Cossacks
but now the invaders have reached the
ground selected by the Russians fol-
the first battle and it has begun.
sIn the meantime, the Russian at
tack on the Germans driven from Su
waikiki says the official statement, rs
increasing in strength. Naval guns
have beeu brought up to shell the for
tilted positions occupied by the enemy
in the Mazurian lake region. This was
necessary because the German guns
had a longer range than our regular
field artillery could cope with.
Give of the forts at Przemysl have
been silenced by our guns. 1t is ap
parent that the Galician stronghold
will have to yield or be destroyed
Our heavy artillery has completely
destroyed two forts and fire is now
raging in three parts of the town
within the forts"
Though the Cossacks operating In
Galicia have reached the region OF
Cracow in their raids, it was admitted
that no siege of Cracow would be at
tempted until after the battle that has
begun north of the Vistula.

gian officials say the besiegers lost
heavily in their attacks. One of them
described part of the fighting thus:
Monday night the Germans got a
pontoon bdige across the river and
advanced in force to cross it. They
were met with a terrific fire, concen-
trated on them from every possible
gun, Masses of them were blown
away, but still they came on. Our
searchlight played upon them.
"Finaly a shell wrecked the bridge.
Then the Germans were forced to re
tire, leaving their dead and wounded.
The river was choked with their dead
bodies.
TUESDAY the German guns opened
on the Belgian troops and batteries
north of the Nethe. Nothing could
stand before this fire, and under its
protection the Germans crossed the
river"

100000 SOLDIERS HUR-

INFORCE ARMY Of THE
KAISER THERE
(By Associated Press.)

g. LONDON, Oct. 16.-A Copenhagen
correspondent of Reuters says that
between $4,000 and 100000 troops are
being hurried into France to reinforce
the Kaiser's army there. Most of the
force is composed of artillery of the
heavy variety.
1t seems to be the purpose of the
Kaiser to concentrate his forces as far
as possible against the Allies in the
northern part of France and to hurry
his advance on Paris. The short time
the war has run has demonstrated to
German officers that the heavy artil-
lery OF the German army is the most
formidable part of theirIsplendid fight
ing machine and they are dispatching
as many guns of the big type to
France as possible.
Part of the German force before Os-
tend is expected to be dispatched to
France following the fall of the Bel
gian city.
