the Austrians.
Reports from Servian headquarters at

court-martialed many Slavs, some of
whom have been shot. Large numbers
of Slav women and children are en-
ployed by the Austrians digging in
trenchments and transporting supplies.
News received here from Cettinje says
that within this week the Montenegrins
expect to have on top of Mount Low

which they can lombard the Austrian

Casualties Among French Officers.
PARIS. September 23.-The proper
tion Of French officers killed or wound
ed in the battles is SO great, as COM
pared with the casualties among the
prfvates. that the question is being dis
cussed whether 1t would not be advis-
able to modify officers uniforms and
make them more difficult to distinguish
from those of the men. The Germans
seem to pick out officers all the more
easily since the French officers are said
70 be showing great daring at the
heads OF their companies.
There have been many promotions of
general officers recently to fill vacan-
ctes made through casualties.

LONDON, September 23, 10
am.-The swift and silent de-
struction of three big cruisers
which cost SI2,ooo,ooo has
brought home the risks of mod
ern naval warfare
The unseen enemy crept upon
the Aboukir, then the Hogue and
then the Cressy, and one after
another the cruisers keeled over
and sank. The whole affair was
over in twenty minutes.
Heavy Loss of Life.
The latest estimate is that 700
officers and men were rescued. AS
the crews of the three cruisers
numbered from 1000 to 1900, this
would mean a loss of 1900 to
1900 men.
The survivors, who have been
brought to Dutch and British
ports, declare there were three
German submarines in the attack
ing force, some say FIVE, and that
the cruiser Cressy or the Loves
toft accounted for two of them.
May Have Escaped.
The admiralty, however, does
not yet confirm the statement that
any of the German craft were de-
stroyed, and it is possible that
none was even seen.
The experts say that a subma-
rine might easily slip from EN-
den, on the upper mouth of the
channel, and attack any British
ship it happened to meet and re-
turn home.

WAR NEWS IN BRIEF.

Momentous events that may
decide the battle Of the Aisne
are transpiring near St. Quentin,
where the allies are making a
furious attempt to turn the Ger
man right wing. Vague but per
sistent reports, wholly unofficial,
but coming from several points,
suggest that a Franco-British
turning movement is slowly de-
veloping. But in the absence OF
official claims or admissions, re-
garding this tremendously i'm
portant action, little is definitely
known. Such official references
as are made to the extreme west
ern battlefield are very guarded.
An English correspondent de-
clares that the German right has
been turned between Peronne and
St. Quentin.
An official statement issued at
Paris this afternoon says that the
allies have advanced their west
ern wing after severe fighting. It
is declared also that German at
tacks on the east wing of the al
lies have been repulsed.
The British admiralty has not
made public its estimate Of the
casualties when three British
cruisers were sunk by German
submarines, but press reports in
dicate that probably from 200 to
500 officers and men were lost.
Reports that two of the attack
ing submarines were sunk lack
confirmation.
The German casualties of the
war, so far as reported, number
63,467, according to an announce
ment at Berlin. The latest cas-
ualty list issued last night bore
5,8e5 names. The deaths of Gen.
Won Wroohem and Gen. Won Ar
bou are chronicled.
Grand Duke Nicholas, COM
mander-in-chief Of the Russian
forces, in reporting the capture
of Jaroslau, says there is no
change m the situation on the
northwestern frontier.
It is announced officially at
Nish that after a nine days strug-
gle the Austrians are in full re-
treat along the front from Liu-
bovia to Losnitza.
A dispatch from Rome says it
is reported that the Austrian
cruisers Maria Theresa and
Admiral Staun have put into
Sebenico, in Dalmatia, badly dam
aged.
A press report from Petrograd
says that the railways leading to
Przemysl are held by the Rus
slams, and that the Austrians are
falling back behind the forts at
Przemvsl.
