100000 RUSSIANS
ROUT GERMANS ON
PRUSSTAN BORDER
Great Battle Impends as
Russians, Kesuming Ofen-
sive, Advance From Polish
Frontier Along l50-Mile
Line.
PETROGRAD. Sept. 2h.


General Rennenkampf has already re-
sumed the offensive against the Germans
and holds the entire East Prussia frontier
line while he is driving the Germans who
invaded Russian Poland in force back
on their own bases.
They have already very strongly forti-
fed the Vistula River from Danzlg south,
and are evidently preparing to make their
real defense along this line.
The news OF the war in the east indi-
Gates, after all reasonable allowances for
exagseration are made, that the immense
forces of Russia are rapidly nearing the
German frontier, on a line of advance
$50 miles wide.
Within few days Is expected news
OF pitched battle. as vast rs that of
the Aisne, between 1000, 900 Germans and
Austrians. who are concentrating on this
line to save the Kaisers territory, and
100000 Russians.
Belief that the direct Russian advance
against Germany Ia rapidly progressing
is partially confirmed by an announce
ment of the Breslau Gazette that the mil
itary authorities there have cut all tele-
graphic communication between Breslau
Posen, Oppeln and Liebnitz. This would
indicate the approach of the Russian
armies. There were rumors two days
ago that CosSacKs had been seen Few
miles east of Breslau.
The reoccupation of Soldau, East Prus-
sia. where General Rennenkampf suffered
heavy losses in n battle with superior
forces of Germans, was announced last
night. The Germans are reported to be
evacuating the district about Soldau

weakness and pointed to it's failure to

against Penroseism.

A screw eye inserted into top Of
handle is even a better convenience
for hanging 1t up.
When worn short, cut last row and
second row of stitching. Pull out

couple Of months longer. Then cut
third last row and prolong usefulness
another few weeks.
