Rotterdam, via London.-A dispatch
received by the Wolff bureau. the Ger

from Vienna, says:
"The general staff has announced
that after five days hard fighting, the
Austrians drove back the Russians
near Grodek, to the west of Lemberg.
"A large force of Russians is threat
ening the Austrians near Ruska. In
addition, new Russian forces operat-

TO break the line Of communication
between Gen. DanlSal and the force

SUMMARY OF THE WAR
Written by the Associate Editor OF
the Army and Navy
journal.

The rapid advance OF the envelop-
ing movement by which the allies are
turning the German right flank is be-
ginning to have decisive influence
on the German campaign. The re-
ported retreat of the Germans TO
Soissons cuts them off from their nat
ural line of communication.
Indeed, the allied move is SO threat
ening to the entire rear of the Ger
mans right flank that they have to
consider the alternative of getting
quick results in their attacks on the
French lines or else retire in time
to save their right wing from disas
ter.
The mention of this turning force
OF the allies as British and French
army indicates that the British have
been rushing forward their later ex
pedition. via Hayre and Dieppe ant

Germans, according to this newspaper,
are in retreat toward the Rhine.
An earlier report than this. COM
ing from Basel, Switzerland, was that
the Germans were evacuating Upper
Alsace in order to concentrate their
troops on the eastern border to com
bat the Russian advance.
The Germans also were said to
have evacuated Amiens, and the Ger
man commander of the left wing was
said to be directing his retreat with
the evident intention of repassing the
Belgian border east Of Lille.
Russians Advance in Galicia.
A Petrograd report to the Mes
sagero of Rome on Friday stated that
battle near Rawa between Russian
and Austrian armies resulted in an
overwhelming victory for the cars
troops after four days of bloody fight
ing. 1t said that large numbers of
German soldiers who were fighting
with the Austrans were prisoners.
AS a result of their victory, says
the dispatch, the Russians are masters
of northern Galicia, the Austrians re-
firing everywhere and eyacuating
Russian Poland. This will clear the
way for the Russian advance on Ger
many through Galicia.
More Troops for Germans.
German re-enforcements estimated
at 10000 men were advancing into
France in three columns, according
to an Ostend dispatch to the Reuter-
| Telegraph company of London.

CHURCHILL EXPECTS
 TTALY'S ASSISTANCE

ROME, Oct. T. That Winston Churchill, First Lord of the Admiralty ia the British Cabinet, expects the as. slstanco of Italy in the war is indi- cated by an interview given the Lon, don correspondent of the GiOrnale d Italia. and printed by that paper, Mir. Churchill said:
 "We always thought 1t was impos- siblc for Italy to fight with Austria, or to fight against England, and in all our Admiralty arrangements for the Mediterranean, since I have been here. we have always acted on the certainty that Italy would be neutral and measured our own naval force only against Austria"
 The Collapse of Austria.
 Of the Adriatic situation after the war he said:
 "Or the great changes that will result from the collapse of Aus trla on-land, the greatest feature yet apparent in the course of the war is the collapse of Austria as a military factor. The collapse appears to be irrcparablc, and that is 6 tremendous event in the history of the world.
 'Italy would have nothing to ap prehcnd. from a victory of England and France. She would always be strong enough to deal with Austria on the sea. unless of course, victorious Germany came to the aid of Austria If Germany succeeded in the war, and Enclish power were broken, Germany could. of course send as many ships as shc liked to join the Austrian fleet and could send them much quicker than Italy could build them. some day the natural and true frontiers of Italy must be restored There never will be real peace an' comfort until thcn."
