GREATER LOSSES NOW THAT
FIGHTING is In THE OPEN.

FIGHTING is IN THE OPEN.
London, Enthusiastically speak
ing the French claim to have made
some detailed progress at various
points along the front. Paris re-
ports that the allies have destroyed
l5 machine guns, two of which were
armored, near LaBassee and a bat
terry of German artillery in the en-
yirons of st. Mihel.
Both sides are bringing reinforce
ments to the western front, while one
OF the supreme struggles is on. The
Germans are not bringing new troops
from the east but are throwing every
available man. in Belgium into the fir
ing line. They seem to have the rail-
roads working well, although they
must have been seriously damaged
during the battles of August and
September. Troops are being trans
ported over them and Dutch sources
report that train after train of
wounded Is being taken back to Ger
many. In the fighting in this open
country, where the men have not the
protection of elaborate entrench-
hents such as they have on the
Aisne. the losses must be very heavy,
especially where endeavors are made
to carry positions by assault.
Situation In East.
German and Russian reports agree
that the situation in the east has
not changed, although the armies are
In close touch along the East Prus-
sian frontier and across Poland and
iGalicia. In Galicia, however, the
Austrians claimed to have repulsed
Russian attacks and to be making
progress in their campaign to drive
out the invaders.
The Russians on the other hand
say they are taking large number
of prisoners. Heavy fighting is still
going on around Przemysl and the
cupolas of the forts surrounding the
town are said by the Italian cores
pondent to have been destroyed by
the big Russian siege guns, while the
forts have been mined and dismant-
led and the magazines blown up. The
town itself, however, has not been
damaged.
The same correspondent says the
battle continues on the Vistula, San
and Dneister rivers. There is a sys-

Russian side and the entire front is

jectiles into the enemy's lines. The
Austrians and Germans, adds the cor!
respondent, have been obliged to re-
main on the defensive, but have re-
pulsed great cavalry attack to the
west of Warsaw.
Serajevo. the Bosnian capital, ac-
cording to q report isued at Nish is
completely enveloped by Serviahs and
determined efforts are being made to
take the town before the end of the
trial of the alleged. assassins Of the
Archduke Francis Ferdinand, whose
murder started the war.
In South Africa the rebellion of
Colonel Maritz has been virtually
broken up.
It is estimated that there are not
less than 1000 Belgians outside the
borders of their own country and
that there are. at least. 100000
wounded in France. 81 III "a, l.
