SUCCESSES DUE TO SECRETS.

Vienna (via Paris), Sept. 21.-The
belief is growing in official circles
here that the Austrian reverses in
Galicia were to large extent brought
about by exact knowledge held by the
Russian War Office of Austria's
mobilization and campaign plans.
which had been obtained through an
elaborate system of espionage.
The military authorities. il i
claimed, two years ago discovered
that Col. Alfred Redl, chief OF the
general staff of the Eight Austrian
Army Corps, had betrayed informa-
ton of vital Importance to Russia
and, although it is thought probable
the Austrian general staff later made
changes in its plans, the military ex-
perts believe the notifications Would
not have greatly affected the general
basis of the campaign as worked out
Dy the government.
Col. Redl was found guilty of being
. traitor and on the advice of brother
officers committed suicide.

Germans north of Rheims, and are ad
vancing east of that city, which is
anre from the enemy's shells, accord
ing to an official statement issued by
the French war office.
Earlier in the day it was announced
that the left wing of the allies had
made progress on the right bank of
the Disc. 1t was later forced to yield
ground under a violent counter-attack
made by superior numbers, but the
statement adds that the lost ground
was immediately regained. The crown
princes army seems to be continuing
it's retreat
The slow progress of the allies in
their turning movement is due to the
enemy's formidable defenses. The
fury of the battle is somewhat dimin-
lshed owing to the Germans being ia
tlgued and partly due to the prolonged
transforms.
Allies Repuse Attacks.
The allies have taken possession of
the defenses of La Pompelle, five miles
southeast of Rheims, and to the east
OF the city they have repulsed a num-
Der OF counter-attacks and made con-
siderable progress.
Attacks by the Germans during the
day and night of the 10Th at other
points were repulsed, the enemy losing
heavily.

Dig guns. broke out of their front be-
tween the plateau of Craonne and

INCREASE PASSENGER RATE
Railroads to Raise Interstate Fare i,
Both Eastern and Western
Territories.

Washington, Sept 21.-Interstate
passenger fares, in both Eastern and
Western territories are to be increased
by the railroads in the immediate fu-
ture, the rates to be fixed on a basis
of 21a cents mile, varying slightly
in particular cases.
Information received by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission is that
the straight fare between New York
City and st. Louis, for instance, will
be advanced $500. The fares between
New York and intermediate points
will be based on the increase between
the two larger terminals.
The fare between New York and
Chicago will be based entirely upon a
2R cents mile rate, and so far as
practicable, the fares between New
York and intermediate points and
Chicago and intermediate points will
bear like mileage charge.
1t is expected that the new passen-
ger tariffs may be in readiness to file
with the commission by October l.
In any event, they could not become
effective before November 1.
The determination of the railroads
to raise their passenger fares is a
direct result of the suggestion made
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion in its decision of the advance
rate case. The commission expressed
its belief that the passenger traffic
of railways ought to bear its proper
ton of the burden of sustaining the
roads and that the travelling public.
which demands speed, safety, comfort
and luxury in passenger facilities.
ought to be willing to paw for them.
