IN AUSTRIAN BATTLE
Petrograd Gives Out Statement Covering Operations of

pete Defeat of Joseph's Forces

2etrograd. via London, Sept. IA.
The following statement issued by the
Russian headquarters staff describes
the Russian operations eliminating in
the victories Of Kransik and Tomas
cow, Russian Poland:
The total Austrian and German
forces exceed 100000 men with o.
500 guns-that is, over forty divisions
ofinfantry, eleven divisions Of cavalry
reinforced by several German divi-
sions.
THE main body of the enemy. num-
bering 100000 men. moved towards
Zavichvart and Tomaszow, advancing
on Lublin and Chelm (Russlan Po-
land). It's right wing was covered by
the Lemberg Capital of Galicai) army
numbering 200 battalions. Its left
wing was covered by several Austro-
German divisions around Radon
(Russian Poland).
''On August 25 the Austrian armies
began a determined advance to coun-
teract the blow which was threatening
Eastern Prussia. The deployment Of
Russian troops over a front of sew
eral hundred versts "a verst is ap-
proximately two-thirds Of mile), had
not yet. been captured. We could,
therefore, only face the Austrtans In
the north with a greatly inferior force.
The first attacks on the enemy were
directed against Kransnik, but the
center of the Austrian efforts soon was
removed to Tomaszow, a district into
which their reinforcements began to
pour,

"On September when the fall Of

dom crossed on their way to the bat
tlef1eld, while, awaiting the result Of
General RuZsky's operations, our plan
was based on the rapid reinforce
ments Of our right wing. The Rus
sian railway carried out this task very
successfully. Our troops in the Chelm
district, which were insufficient and
too widely spread out, and against
which the principal attack of the Aus
trians was directed, did not receive
reinforcements-for the advance Of
the Austrians even at Chelm itself
could eventually only increase the con-
sequences Of their defeat in the event
of ultimate success Of our. wings.
"In spite of their numerical ade-
quacy our troops In the center did not
confine themselves in defence. They
delivered q counter attack, obtaining
considerable success near Lacheve,

state supreme court has just decided
that no person can claim complete IT,

filled all his obligations to the gov

the government to be prerequisite be-

In case Of the death Of a home
steader. the heir is credited with the
