mans to Retire.

London.-An Ostend dispatch to the
Exchange Telegraph company says
"The Belgian troops have just
gained an important success at Cor
tenberg between Louvain and Brus-
sells, cutting up German corps and
taking a number of prisoners. The
line toward Liege has been occupied

the Belgian army again had taken the
offensive, which was being pushed sat
isfactorily. An extended sortie was
made and the Germans everywhere
were forced to retire. Malines and
Aerschot were retaken.
A dispatch to the Central News from

According to Client dispatch the
Belgian government, having opposed
the delivery of army necessaries requi-
sitioned by the Germans, a Belgian
force has again occupied Client. The

prepared were not delivered

Petrograd.--A final appalling defeat
was administered the Austrian army
by the Russians at Rawa-Ruska, 80
miles northwest of Lemberg, with the
result that the last obstacles to the
Russian advance toward Berlin, now
that Przysmsl and Jaroslow are COM

AUSTRIANS LEAVE CRACOW
Strongest Austrian Post in GaIicia IL
Reported to Have Given Way Be-
fore Russian Attack

Petrograd.-Cracow, the strongest
Austrian post in Galicia and one which
DISTRACTED the advance of the huge
Russian center army upon Breslau, its
next objective is reported as being
evacuated by the Austrians before
furious attack Of Russian cavalry and
infantry under cover of the destruct-
i've fire of the heavy siege guns. The
forts~to the east and north of the city
were shelled necessarily until finally
the Austrian guns were silenced.
Cracow is the capital Of Austrian Po-
land, and lies on a broad plain on the
left bank Of the Vistula. 1t is only 80
miles from the German border, and
between 1t and Breslau little fortified
resistance Is offered.
With Przemyl and Jarorlav invested
by the Russians and the way for the
ad nee toward Breslau practically
cleared, the investment of the latter
city, which IS only 1870 miles from Ber-
lin, is imminent.

Swiss-G German frontier and in various

Already the Germans have been
pushed back by the allied armies at
some points for a distance Of 60 miles
or more, and the French have reoccu-

two weeks ago.
The Belgians have taken the offens-

German line of communication, forcing
them to use the line through the Mouse
Valley and Luxembourg.

London. While the latest official
statements give few details of the
great battle being waged In France, in

Both British and French troops
have crossed the River Marine, the
British capturing men and guns. The

ALLIES IN GOOD CONDITION
Germans Offer Resistance on Heights
Northwest of Rheims, But Con.
tlnue to Retire in Argonne and
Meuse Region.

Paris.-The French official state,
ment says that French troops have re-
occupied Amiens, which was abandon
ed by the Germans, but that the Ger.
mans are making stand on the River
Aisne.
The statement Is as follows:
ION our left wing we have every.
where caught up with the rear guards
and even the main body of the enemy.
Our troops have re-entered Amiens,
abandoned by the German forces.
"The enemy appears to be making a
stand ON a prepared front along the
River Aisne.
son the center, similarly, it would
seem as if the enemy intends to resist
on the heights to the northwest and
to the north of Rheims. In the region
between Argonne and the Mouse he
continues to retire.
"On our right wing, in the Woevre
district, we have succeeded in reliev-
ing the fort of Troyon, which, has been
attacked time and time again during
the last few days. (Troyon is IL miles
south, southeast of Verdun.)
''In Lorraine our pursuing detach-
ments are keeping, as everywhere else,
in touch with the Germans.
"The morale and sanitary condition
of our armies continue excellent"
Pursuit of the retreating German ar
mics by the British and French forces
continues with vigor, according to the
French view.
Despite their great numbers the Ger
man withdrawing movement is being
carried out with rapidity and clever
ness. The main body appears to be ap-
preaching the Belgian frontier, while
the German left wing seemingly is
gaining shelter in German Lorraine.
So far as known the fieeting invad-
ers who, after wonderful forced
marches into France, made such a
stern attempt to break through lines
of the allies defending Paris, have
abandoned more than 60 cannon Of
various caliber and 30 machine guns
because their exhausted horses were
unable to drag them fast enough to
keep up even with the foot-weary in
fantry. Enormous amounts of ammu-
milton and war stores also were left
on the route of the Germans, which Is
through difficult marshy country,
rendered almost impossible in some
places by heavy rains which threaten
to continue.
TAe allies, it is asserted, display no
signs of fatigue. They are represented
as stirred by Unexpectedly great vic
tories to such a state of citation that
they are able to keep close on the
heels of the retiring enemy, harassing
them day and night, cutting off de-
tachments and attempting to inter-
pose between them and the frontier.
1t generally is believed here that
the next phase of the gigantic war will
take place in German territory. The
allies, according to the military ex-
perts, doubtless will endeavor to pre-
vent the German armies should they
succeed in eluding capture, from TAX
ing strong defensive positions near the
frontier.
