COLD WEATHER AND DISEASE
INCREASE HORRORS OF WAR

LONDON. September IS. 1o:15 AIM
The weather conditions. which were
exceptionally favorable to modern mill
tary operations during the first six
weeks of the war, have now changed
radically and are in the main RESPONSE
BILE for the lull prevailing in all the
war areas, with the exception of the
combined Montenegrin and Servian as
sault on the coveted provinces of Bos-
mia and Herzegovina
Accompanying the reports Of bad
weather comes the ominous news OF
the presence Of disease. Hungary has
acknowledged an outbreak OF cholera
among her troops, and, while 1t Is de-

to have attacked the Servian troops.
General epfdemics Of -milder diseases
may be expected in the western battle
area, where the troops on both sides,
drenched by a pitiless rain, are lying in
flooded trenches.
The operations in Alsace-Lorraine are
said TO have come to . complete stop
on account Of snowstorms- Rain and
floods are reported, also, from the
scene Of the Galfcian operations and
probably account for the cessation of
the Russian attack on the retreattng
Austrians. Storm conditions will in

The allied troops, whose gaps had
been filed with freshly arrived rein
forcements, not only repeatedly thrust

against them, but eventually carried
out a successful eounter-attack, which
resulted in the gaining Of considerable
ground, and the definite capture of Pc
