though such defeat has been report

Fulfillment of the promise that pres
sure would be taken off France and
Belgium when the big tattle COM
menced in the east again has been de-
layed. The Germans are before War
saw-in fact fighting has taken place
only eight miles from that city. While
their advance to the Neims was a
failure the forces of Emperor William
apparently have retrieved some de-
feats OF the Austrians in Galicia and
advanced as far as Jarozlau, II miles
northwest of .Przemysl.
The German plan seems to be to
have two armies advance along the
left bank Of the Vistula river, while
two other armies swing around on the
right bank to take the defenders of
| Warsaw on their flank. This, accord
| ing to Russian accounts, suits the
purposely to have withdrawal to the
Vistula so that they would have the
railways at their back while the Aus
tro-German forces would nave to ad-
,, Vice great distances on roads which
at this time of the year are little more
| than quagmires.
Both sides claim to have gained ad-
vantages in the preliminary fighting,
but these victories and defeats can
have little effect on the general re-
suit of the battle in which IL is esti-
mated nearly 100000 men are engag-
ed. Tho Russians, It Is said have two
and half million men and the Austro-
German force is declared to tctelnear-
ly two million. The armies cover a
front of nearly 800 miles.
The battle on the east Prussian
frontier has ceased. The two armies
| are facing each other across the bor-
der. both doubtless being satisfied to
remain where they are until the chief
battle In Poland Is decided. This may
| not be for months, although the Ger
mans. 1t is said. will attempt to gain
a quick victory to release their troops
for the western campaign.
One more keel has to be added to the
British naval losses In the war, the
cruiser Hawke having been sunk by n
German submarine in northern waters
yesterday. AS in the case, oflthe ships
which the Germans have dee.royed by
means Of submarines: only q few of her
crew escaped. The Hawke, like the
Abonkir, Cressy and Hogue,. three
other cruisers which have met the
same fate, was a Chatham ship, SO
that town again is in mourning.
The cruiser Theseus which also was
attacked by the same submarine that
sunk the Hawke. obeyed the Spartan
Instructions issued by the admiralty
and turned away from the parishing
crew. These Instructions were issued
by the admiralty after SO many lives
had been lost through the Cressy and
Hogue going to the assistance OF the
Aboulir when the latter was torpe-
foed.
