the Austrians may not have q single

Remarkable reports continue to
come in regarding the speed of Cen
eral Ruzsky's campaign. The soldiers
slept on an average of three hours
nightly and made thirty-fve-mile
marches daily. 1t is evident from re-
ports received in Petrograd that the
Austrians expected to make a long re-

All these stores have fallen into the
hands Of the Russians. enabling them

Germans Move Greatest
Puzzle of World Today
BY Associated Press

London, Sept. s, $40 A. M.-"The
worlds great puzzle to-day" says the
Chronicles Paris correspondent, rs
the disappearance southeast ward of
the German host which was supposed
to be ready to dash itself against
Paris.
ITO the close student it appears that
the incident aim may be to reach the
southern and somewhat less strongly
fortified side of Paris. But 1 think
on the whole it is larger and bolder
than this. In the first place the off,
cial communication of Friday reveals
that there are three German armies
moving southwark. Friday a conn
munication stated that the enemy has
reached La Ferte, passed Rheims and
is passing along west of the Argonne.
1t is evident that it cannot be the same
army which reaches La Ferte, thirty
three miles from Paris which passes
Rheims, eighty-five miles from Paris
and which passes the Argonne. forest,
125 miles from Paris. The ideas Of
the German tacticians now are as
follows:
First to get out of reach of the
Eelgians; second to keep as far as
possible from the ever-increasing Brit
ish contingent; third to immobilze
the army of Paris: fourth, to reduce
the nlength of the line OF communica-
ton and recover direct touch with
llllll' w illC
these ends to smash the other French
armies sixth when the German
armies are united to be able to march
directly on either Berlin or Paris as
circumstances may direct.
THE present movement to the east
ward is apparently with the object
of accomplishing these things. The
German army which has come south
from Mons will join at Epernay. Is
miles southwest of Rheims, other
German armies of which we have so
far heard nothing but which evidently
have been moving southwark from

The Russians are being received

THE Galicians at first fled on the

hnding that their fears were unfound-

the troops. In other villages the in
vaders were welcomed by professions
of the priests and people with crosses

bread and salt.

of the United States Steel Corporation
for the current quarter. More interest
is attached to the possible action of
the directors regarding common divi-
dends on the last Tuesday of October.
One steel man ventures the opinion
that the net for the third quarter will
be in excess of what II was in the sec
ond quarter, but that September may
be an uncertain month. Commenting on
the revival of reports that the wages
of steel workers will be reduced. a
steel man says that manufacturers will
maintain wages as long as II is pos
sible to do so. All through the de-
preston, which started nearly a year
ago. wages have been maintained, al
though labor lost heavily through
unemployment.
Chairman Gary, of the United States
Steel Corporation, has been a strong
advocate for the maintenance of
wages and the opinion has been eX-
pressed that United States Steel would
first economize by putting the common
home from Europe the middle of this
month.
