The Russian artillery on the right wing
appears to have made good retreat ow-
ing to a timely start, while the left wing
was hard pressed by the enveloping Ger
man infantry.
The German government has appointed
Count Won Merveldt as governor of the
Russian province of Suwalki.
The University of Koenigsberg today
conferred upon Gen. Won Hindenberg
honorary doctors degrees from all four
OF the departments of philosophy. theol-
ogy. law and medicine.
The Berliner Tagebatt prints the fol-
lowing regarding the operations in the
west:
I'VE are standing on the defensive on a
125-mile battle line, and because we have
been spoiled by rapid series of victo-
ries many are unable to realize that de-
fensive under certain circumstances is
justified as an offensive movement.
I'VE have learned little concerning the
situation but we can point to some sue
cesses, such as the repulse of the French
night attacks and the fact that the
French have succeeded neither in out
fianking the retiring right nor breaking
through the front
THE abandonment of our original
positions between Paris and Verdun for
strategic reasons is in itself nothing
momentous. In many days of battle
and shifting positions final results
alone are important. So long as the
battle continues undecided, with the
possibility of throwing in fresh troops
drawing nearer, while the enemy has

Captain Schieckert, the correspond
ert of the Lokal AnZeiger, describes
the action in East Prussia on Sept. 10
as follows:
Our heavy howitzer batteries loeat-
ed on the extreme right wing, bonn
barded the entertainments and bomb
proofs of the Russian infantry with
terrible effect, and from this position
we could watch the progress of the
battle easily with field glasses; but
we, too, caught the big notes of the
battle music.
The battle salvos of the Russians
came In at every shortening intervals
and between rolled the infantry fire
now in volleys and then irregularly.
MelnWnlle the NdTu rdlll6 u The liza
chine guns on the edge of the forest
had deafening sense, adding long
runs of notes to the concert.
1.-THE Russian shrapnel meanwhile
burst too high or too low near our
batteries; but the Russians after "a
while got the range and over our bat
teries soon flew fragments of the iron
shower bath intended for us. Soon our
batteries increased their fire until the
heavens seemed afire. while on the
horizon the villages broke out in
flames.
Through the field glass I observed
dark masses moving across the fields.
II was the well extended German in
fantry advancing with extraordinary
speed. Altogether too high over them
exploded shrapnels and from the north
came infantry fire which soon was ST.
lent.
"At Las in the afternoon the Rus
sian shrapnel fire reached its maxi
mum violence and then followed ces-
sation OF all fire for 10 minutes and
then again the fire was opened. AT
2.15 the Russian fire stopped with our
men advancing as rapidly as possible
and a little while afterwards the ef-
feet IF our flank movement behind
Loetzen made itself felt"

trality. He seeks only British sub-
Jects IN the United States or Ameri-
cans who are resident in Britain or
nave taken out British citizenship pa
pers. Permission to organize such a
contingent has only recently been
granted by the British war office, yet
over 200 already have enrolled. Plans
are to form half an infantry battal-
ion of 4S0 men and one or two squad
rons of cavalry of $50 men each, be-
sides small detachments. Then, If at
the end of four months the command
passes the inspector, the men will take
the ancient army oath of allegiance to
the King-not to Great Britain-and
go to the front as a unit.
The small attachments already in
clude Is motor cyclists, a hospital staff
and machine gun detachment to
which wealthy Anglo American has
given a Maxim. A well-known Amer
