Germans Have No News,

Berlin, via London, Sept. 22.-3:11 a. m.-The news of the bombardment Of Rheims reached the public here briefly through the morning papers, but no other details were printed con corning the battle. Mention was made of three places, Noyon, Rheims and Beaumont. It is a difficult task, therefore, for the correspondents to furnish the American public with other than a brief local viewpoint. Theodore Wolff, in the Tageblatt, re- grets the hard military necessity whereby the brief German reports are swamped by columns of descrip- tive matter from the other side and which renders almost futile the at tempts of other organizations to con vey the truth abroad"
 The military critic of the Lokai Anzieger discussing the reports of strong entrenchments on both sides. says the fighting, which heretofore has been mobile, now has entered upon the stage of stationary position engagements like Lilac Yang, Mukden and Tchatalja, necessitating first the discovery of weak points in the ene- my's line and then protected eiftr,s at breaking down the opposition.
 1t is denied officially that the Ger man troops have evacuated Brussels.

 EDGE OF WAR PLANS.
AUSTRIANS SOLD THE PLANS
Former Officer Gave Germany De- tailed Description of Military Mat ters-Russians Still Pursue Fleeing Austrians.

Vienna, Sept. 2l.-3 D. m, via Paris, 1l:30 D. m.-The belief is growing in official circles here that the Au- strian reverses in Galicia were to a large extent brought about by exact knowledge held by the Russian war office of Austria's mobilization and campaign plans, obtained through an elaborate system of espionage.
 The military authorities, it is claimed, two years ago discovered that Colonel Alfred Redi, chief of the general staff, on the Eighth Austrian corps, had betrayed information of vital importance to Russia and, al. though it is though probable the Au- strian general staff later made chan. ges in their plans, military experts believe the notifications would not have affected greatly the general basis of the campaign as worked out.
 Colonel Redl was found guilty of being a traitor and on the advice of brother officers. committed suicide.
 Austrian official reports continue to give only scant details of fresh fighting in Galcia
 There is a constant flow of refu- gees into Vienna. Several train loads arrived Saturday and more are re- ported on their way. The municipal authorities are experiencing great difficulty in finding accommodation for the destitute, who already aggre. gate 100000.
 Farmers are unable to procure suf- ficient labor for their autumn plant ing or to carry new grain to the mills, which are besieged with orders for flour. Consequently the price of grain has advanced 25 per cent. The temporary suspension of import du- ties on grains, cattle and meat IS proving futile. A shortage in the supplies of raw cotton threatens to bring serious losses to cotton spin. ners. The spinners are endeavoring to procure supplies from the United States through Italy. Italy prohibits the exportation of cotton, but it s thought she will permit supplies to pass through her territory

Swiss Make Protest.

Geneva, Sept. 21, via Paris, Sept. 22.-2 a. m.-The Swiss press unani- mously condemns the destruction of the Rheims cathedral and there has been an outburst of indignation among all nations in Switzerland.
 According to late advices there were fatal riots yesterday at Vienna, the people demanding war news.
 Food is said to be very scarce and prices are rising daily.
 German papers received here seem to be adopting a more sober tone. some of them even mentioning a DOS. sible retreat for strategic reasons" from France for the purpose of pun ishing the Russians" The prices of food in all the German towns are mounting steadily.
 Assurances are given that those Americans who are stranded in vari- ous parts of Switzerland are being well cared for by the consuls.

 one thing is certain, neither front has been broken, all attempts to do this having been repulsed, and while the German right may be bending back little 1t is not yet outflanked.
 All this fighting has been carried on in most execrable weather, coa. tiluous downpour which so often ae. companies battles filling the trenches With water and putting brake on the movements of men and horses.
 The Russian grip on the scattered Austrian forces in Galicia is holding reientlessly. According to Petrograd adyices the fortress of Jarsola is being made; Premsysl has been in. vested and General Dankls army. which is retreating toward Cracow. has been surrounded. The capture of the town of Dubiecko, on the San, by the Russians, has cut Przemysl off from the western armies, so that 1t must now rely for defense upon the Austrian and German army corps which are there.
 General DaHkl is believed to be in difficult position. Driven out of South Poland and separatad from thy main body of the Austrian army, he has been compelled to make re- treat for Cracow in which hes@as, ac. cording to reports. forced by the Rus sian army coming southward from the Vistgla to Baranow.
 The Russians now arc so sure of Galicia that they are organizing a civil government for that region as well as for Bukowina. the Austrian crownland of which they are con- plete masters.
 The Moatenegrins and Servians arr reported to be meeting with success and the Montenegrins are now ap- preaching SaraieYo. capital If Bosnia.
 The exploit of the German cruiser Emdea in the Bay of Benial has caused stir in England. Every body is asking where was the British fleet to allow the capture of si xsteamers. or, in the first place, to allow the Emden to get away from the China coast.
 It appears it was only due to the warning of an Italian captain that more British steamers did not fall into the hands of the Emden. It Is that British warships are searching for the German cruisers which have been free in the different oceans, but which have succeeded Tn keeping out of the way of their enemies.
