CSar's Great Army
Operating Behind
TefI OF Secrecy

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. l5.-Bs-
yond the bare announcement that the
first line OF the Russian reserves have
been completely mobilixed all infor-
nation regarding the army operations
Is withheld by the general stan. 1t
il not even known in which way the
various army corps have been dis
patched, as with the railroads con-
nected for intercommunicating traffic
the direction In which any body Of
troops originally started means moth
ing.
1t Is known that an enormous army
Is operating against \. the Austrians
through the Styr valley and. along the
Dneister river Claims made by the
war ONCE are that In the initial fight
ing the Austrian frontier was pene-
trated and the main army Is well on
its way to Lemburg. capital of Ans
TRAN Galicia, But actual details Of
the movement. OF just where the army
is located. is withheld.
Other troops are moving against
the German frontier and the govern
ment has issued denial Of the Ger
man claim that its forces now occupy
Russian Poland. In this connection
attention Is called to the repulse OF
the Germans who tried to occupy
Eydtkuhnen, the Prussian Polish
frontier station. The war ONCE
claims that In this battle the first
and twenty-first German army corps
were defeated and driven back with
very heavy losses. The general star
here believes that Germany Is de-
pending upon its secondary reserves
TO protect its borders, inasmuch as
reliable Information at hand indicates
there are only six corps OF the Ger
man army along the Russian border.
The Austrians, however, are now
commanded by officers detailed for
that purpose by the German general
staff
Ii is pointed out here that the
speedy mobilization Of the Russian
army has been made possible by the
new system OF light transport vehi
cles Of every character, especially de-
signed for use in the loamy rural dis
tricts. These vehicles have proven
vastly superior to the heavy ones
abandoned since the Japanese.Rus
sian war.

French CLAIM Further
Victories In AEace
hvasion Of Germany
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS.
(Stof Correspondent United Press.)

| (Sfof Correspondent United Press.)
PARIS, Aug. 15.--The French have
taken the offensive all through the
Vosges mountains. Desperate resist
ance Is being encountered, but the
French advance continues to move
slowly forward and war Office officials
foresee the investment Of Strassburg
early next week. That Is the objec-
tive OF the French offense In Alsace.
The former capital of Alsace-Lor-
raine Is strategically located at ex.
actly the base desired by the general
star for It's campaign into Germany.
It's capture would arouse the widest
enthusiasm everywhere In France
and would be accepted as an indica-
ton that the lost provinces are again
coming home.
While details OF the fighting are
withheld, the general stan claims the
army now holds all of the passes
through the Vosges and have mount
ed improved artillery at every point
of vantage. In the lighting which has
now continued for more than a week
the losses on both sides have been
very heavy. The French army chieIs.
however. maintain that the Germans
have suffered most.
The Germans have admittedly been
handicapped by the inferiority OF
their ammunition. Hundreds of their
explosive shells which were expected
TO cause terrible havoc In the French
ranks have proved ineffective, and
have failed to explode In addition
the French are claimed to have shown
n marked superiority on the offensive
II Is declared that the German col.
umns. while lighting magnihcently at
long range, have failed to stand up
against the bayonet charges OF the
French infantry.

OVER Big WAR,
SAYS CT. MOODY
Detroiter, Home From Europe,
Tells Of Conditions in the
French Capital
PASSED THROUGH LIEGE
BEFORE GREAT RATTLE
See Germany as Republis as One
Possible Outcome of Euro
"a pean Conflict

Through the intercession Of the gen.
eral manager Of the Hamburg-Amer'
lean line ofiices In Paris, George T.
Moody and II. Byron Scott, Of New.
comb'Endicott Company. who arrived
In Detroit Friday, were able to leave
the war zone Of Europe after the sail
Ing OF the Imperator, on which they
had reservations, had been cancelled.
The Imperator was to have sailed
from Havrc. August I. The men came
across on the Kroonland. which left
Antwerp ON the same date. In order
to take this boat II was necessary for
them to make dificult trip amidst
preparations for war, but II was &C.
complished successfully. The journey
took them through Lege. which since
has been the scene Of fierce fighting.
The men were. In Switzerland when
the International conflict first broke
out, They passed through Belfort, an.
other center OF subsequent military
operations on their way 10 Paris.
The French capital was In a state
bordering on frenzy as result OF the
war excitement" said Mr. Moody. Our
fret difiiculty was inability TO get
change for a 100-franc note In hotel.
The great Inconvenience and disas-
trous consequences OF 30 many sys.
TENS Of currency, which have been
brought home particularly by the
plight of Americans. convince me that
one Of the results of this war Will be
q movement for stable International
currency which will make paper
money acceptable internationally"
Mr. Moody sees In the conflict an
other possible outcome In the shape
OF republican government for Ger
many. The Kroonland, on which Mr..
Moody and Mr.. Scott came TO New
York, Is q Red Star line boat which
has an American registry SO that IL
was never In danger OF capture.
Frank w. Schwartz. another De-
troiter who reached home, Friday,
crossed on the American liner Phila-
delphia. The steamer was stopped by
q French warship soon after leaving
England, but was allowed to proceed
unmolested. The morning on which
Mr.. Schwartz sailed, he. with all the
other guests of hotel In Southamp-
ton. were bundled out to make room
for soldiers.

Henry Olicnburg. Jr. OF No. 1888
