They opened the door wide and,

most effective tones:

He was interrupted by the ringing
OF the telephone.
I'll answer it" said he.
You want to do everything, don't
you?" said Broadway peevishly.
It was the ong-distance call for which
Wallace had some time before left or
ders. He gave a hurried, warning
glance at all Of them as soon as he
had heard the voice which came to
him along the wire.
Hello, guvnor," he replied. Hello!

He hung up the receiver and turned

London, Sept. ga Central News
dispatch from Amsterdam says that fur.

airships. Four bombs we're dropped on
Deynze, nine miles southwest of Ghent,
and two thrown on Thielt, fifteen miles
southeast Of Bruges.
At the former place the Convent OF
St. Vincent was badly damaged.
Another Zeppelin created consterna-
tiou yesterday ut Bialystok, to the
southwest of Grodno, some sixty miles

it was more fortunate in getting away

down in the neighborhood Of Warsaw

Przemysl Invested and Rest of
AuStrianS Fleeing Across
Hungary's Plains.

London, Sept. 3O.-.A dispatch from
Rome to the Exchange Telegraph, dated
Tuesday, saws:
"a Petrograd message states that a
fierce battle between the army of Gen.
eral Rennenkampf and that of the Ger
man General Won Hindenburg has been
raging since Sunday morning along a
front extending from GrNdnO to Drus"
keukt. or. the Niemen River. Fsrr
army corps have been engaged on both
sides, and the Russians are being con-
stantly reinforced from Wilma. The
Russians have already repulsed the
Germans at several points"
London, Sept. 29.-An official COM
munication issued at Budapest, accord
ing to Rome dispatch, admits that
the Russians have succeeded in cross
ing the Hungarian frontier at several
points in the Ung district, despits the
fact that reinforcements have been
sent against them.
Having invested Przemysl, the Rus
slams are reported to be making their
way not only through the CarpAthisn5,
to sweep across the plains in North
Hungary, but, in strength, toward Cra-
COW, which they should reach before
the week is out, unless the Austrian
field army should succeed in checking
the advance.
Arrival of the Russians al CEscow
would be the signal for battle along
the Russian German frontier. The
Germans arc in force AZ Craeow wheis
the Austrians would fern their cX-
treme right, and they hSyo consider
ably reinforced their front, extending
north of that fortress through kslisz,
Russian Poland, 10 Thorn, In the Prov
ince of West Prussia. Further north
the Germans have crossed from East
Prussia and have got as far as ths
River Niemen, where they are reported
TO have suffered g reverse. The two
armies, however, are in close touch
right across the country, so that bat
tie along this extended front cannot De
long delayed. 49, ,
A Reuter- dispatch from Petrograd
saws an army messenger has announced
that the Russians have almost com
pletely cleared Galicia OF the enemy,
who has taken refuge in the passes c!

source confirms the reports OF the pro-
gressive destruction OF the Austrian
army. -

TBy Cable to The Tribuns.l

Petrograd, Sept. 2s.-It has been as
certained that the enemy Is putting
large forces into the field OIL the Sile-
sian front and beginning TO show He'
tiyity in this region. The object, natu-
ralIy. is to save Cracow and the whole
right flank of Germsny's proposed ad-
vance into Poland.
Like the previous aid Of Germany TO
Austria, this appears also destined TO
come too late to be effective. The
routed armies fleeing toward CInsoW
have lost all semblance OF a military
force. The Russians are hot in pur'
suit, adding to the disorder in when
not only divisions and brigades, oui
even individual regiments, are al
mixed up. In fact, the last forces OF
Austria are now reduced to mere
mob, each man seeking safety Tor him'
self and abandoning everything. Cap
lures of prisoners, guns and military
stores Of every kind are increasing, =.
The garrison of PrZemysi, which Is
known 10 be in a state bordering on
mutiny, contented itself with an atti-
tude Of passive resistance for three
DAYS, but finally Yentured TO attempt =
sortie, which, however, was beaten back
with considerable loss.
The Austro- German beaten armies
are now routed and fleeing in disorder
OIL the River Dunjecs, within forty
miles Of CraeoW, leaving everything
they possessed abandoned to the pur-
suing foe. Among other things aban.
doned is the entran 70 the. easiest
and best pass over the Csrpathians at
Dukla. Admirable high roads lead
through this pass into Hungary, and
the tota! distance to Budapest is under
two hundred miles. The 2ussiRn ad-
vance guard is probably more than half
way there.
London, Sept. 3O.-The Petrograd
