RUSSIAN VICTORY IN
GALIC|A REPORTED

London, Sept. "A dispatch to the
Daily News from Rome declares news
has been received there from Buchar-
est, Roumania, setting forth that the
Russians have inflicted crushing de-
feat on the Austrians in Galicia. The
Russians inflicted loss of 10000 on
the enemy, who sought to cross the
Vistula. 1t is evident that fierce
fighting is proceeding in the neighbor-
hood of Lublin.
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 aggregate tens of thousands of
men, including the Sixth Austrian
corps, which, on it's retreat between
the Western Bug and the Wieprez
rivers, was almost annihilated.

KAISER SAID TO Be
At RUSSIAN FRONT


London, Sept. 2.-The correspond
ent of the Express, telegraphing from
The Hague, says:
There is the greatest alarm in Ber.
lin over the advance of the Russian
troops. The news that the emperor
has left the western headquarters
and moved to the Russian front has
shown the residents of the capital
where the immediate peril of their
safety lies.
"A story has been circulated that
the Russians are preparing to avenge
Louvain by treating the city Of Ber-
lin in the same way as the Germans
treated that city. Many of the popu-
lace who can get away are going to
Norway, Denmark and Switzerland. !"
